He was trying to stroke his scraggly beard, and his shaking hands finally belied his own carefully hidden surprise."Well... Well... I don't know. I wasn't completely expecting this. I... well, I'd like more time to study it. There are a few more runes I may be able to puzzle out..."The chubby man wandered close to the wavering surface-- but not too close."Mr. Malouz... sir, please do keep your distance," said Dr. Parthenis."So. What is it?" Malouz asked."I will tell you when I know."Sabib Malouz grinned. "As long as there is profit in the thing, I do not care. But be quick about your studies."Malouz whistled for two of his men, who came running. "I want guards at the door, all day, all night. No one enters or leaves but me and the Doctor. Anyone else tries, you shoot them. "You," he said, pointing at Brigitta, "You can have your stone back when we are finished with it."He took out a notebook, looked around the room, quickly scribbled something down, snapped it shut, and stumped off. Dr. Parthenis looked at Brigitta and shrugged. "I am sorry. I need to get to work. I suppose it would be best for you all to wait in the camp. Would you or your companions like something to eat?"He yelled for one of the tribesmen, who came running immediately. "Sutoko!" Words passed between them that Brigitta could not understand. "Sutoko will see that you are made comfortable in camp."The tribesman gestured for Brigitta to follow.</blockquote>
