281

The sudden glint of sunlight on glass alerts you to a potential danger. Two hundred yards away to your left, on a ridge of high ground that overlooks the lake, you see a dark figure crouching beside a petrified tree, observing your progress through a telescope. The only people likely to be in this area are scouts or food foragers from one of the Fort Worth street gangs. If this spy manages to alert his gang, the colony might never make it out of Lake Lewisville alive.

If you have a missile weapon and wish to use it, turn to 14.

If you decide to go after the spy on foot, turn to 115.

If you choose to ignore the spy and continue crossing the lake, turn to 271.
