More than one vehicle was on the road out towards the quarry, but the second one was quieter than the Growler by far.  Not that it was supposed to be.  Sitting on the edge of the pavement was what looked like a long-cab cream-colored pickup truck, its hood up and steam rising from the cooling system.  A head-sized orb hovered in front of it, diagnostic lights flashing before dispensing a cloud of something that left a thick coat of frost on the entire front half of the vehicle.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>For the time being, Gwyntaan loped alongside Tesla.  He was capable of moving at a reasonable clip on the ground, and for the moment, speed and surveillance didn't seem as important.  It was a trip into town - something that the Captain had been doing on his own for a few seasons now.  If anything, the dragon's attitude was one of anticipation of a rare treat.  This didn't mean that he was completely distracted by the prospect, though.  Among other things, he was scouting the rugged landscape around the quarry for potential meals and potential competition.<br/><br/>The sound of the Growler seemed to suggest the latter.
