The roar of the helicopter blades pounded in Raji's ears--he wished the university could afford a hoverjet. The land below was rugged Canadian shield. Pine trees grew where there was soil; lichen and moss covered the Precambrian rocks elsewhere. Raji wore a green parka, its hood down. He continued to scan the ground, and--
There! A path through the wilderness, six meters wide and perhaps half a kilometer long: trees knocked over, shield rocks scraped clean, and, at the end of it-- Incredible. Absolutely incredible. A large dark-blue object, shaped like an arrowhead. Raji pointed, and the pilot, Tina Chang, banked the copter to take it in the direction he was indicating. Raji thumbed the control for his microphone. "We've found it," he said, shouting to be heard above the noise of the rotor. "And it's no meteorite." As the copter got closer, Raji could see that the front of the arrowhead was smashed in. He paused, unsure what to say next. Then: "I think we're going to need the air ambulance from Sudbury."
