“Morning, Joan. I’ve received great news from Silence. Some of our researchers on the Isle of Colossus and globally have had success recently regarding the Bedouin Sky Palace!” says Steve, phoning Joan from his UK office.

“Yeah, I know. Silence phoned me, too, concerning Heptasees and his seven sons! And the conversation was very intriguing,” replies Joan.

“Well! That’s why they’d like our team to travel to Colossus to join the resident team to see if we can help?” continues Steve.

“I’ve already spoken to Ray, Zieg, Max and the guys, and they can't wait to get started,” adds Steve.

“Ha! Zieg and the guys love the Isle of Colossus. And Yeah! I’m ready to travel when you are,” says Joan, happily punching the air.

“Great!” replies Steve. “Judy will let you know the travel arrangements tomorrow!”

“Come on, Max!” says Ray weeks later. “We want to reach base camp as soon as we can,” he adds, walking past Max inside the Dead Man’s Shrine cave at the entrance to the Isle of Colossus.

“You love that pirate ship, don't you, Maxie Boy!” adds Dal as he, too, walks past Max.

“Yeah!” sighs Max. “The adventures it’s seen?” he mutters before turning to follow his friends.

Steve, Albertina, Nuno and the rest of Steve’s team arrive at the original base camp near the Bedouin Sky Burial Chamber.

“Hi guys!” says Anton, walking toward Steve’s team. “Felix, Ari and the others are over at the BSP sight?” he adds, as he and Layla start shaking hands with everyone.

“BSP?” mutters Max. 

“Bedouin Sky Palace,” answers Layla. “It’s quicker to say BSP,” she adds.

“Yeah! I see what you mean,” says Ray.

“Right! Let’s show you your tents so you can drop off your gear. Then we’ll meet Ari and the guys over at the BSP!” says Anton, gesturing towards the tented area.

Anton, Layla, and Steve’s team waste no time as they set off toward the Bedouin Sky Place.

“There?” says Joan loudly, pointing ahead as she walks. “I just saw a glimpse of a stone column. I think?”

“Yeah! And when we get closer. You’ll start to see more of those columns,” says Layla. “And I think you’ll find them pretty impressive,” she continues.

“Well! That is an impressive sight!” says Steve, standing with hands on hips and looking up towards a circular stone column about ten meters away and partially hidden behind a distinctive tree line.

All the other guys also stand looking at several stone columns in the distance as the surrounding trees and foliage expose stonework in the breeze. 

“I’m looking forward to seeing the headstone carving!” mutters ZandaBot Nuno, standing between Steve and Albertina. 

“Me too!” agree Zieg and Nari simultaneously.

“Come on, guys!” says Layla. We're not far from the BSP and the headstone entrance!” she continues, moving forward.

“Wow! Awesome!” says Ray as Anton leads the group toward the first in a network of circular stone columns.

“Very impressive!” agrees Zieg, now trying to wrap her arms around a column.

“Ha!” adds Dal. “These have to be seen to be believed,” he continues, gently rubbing his hand over some stonework.

“Wait until you see the headstone carving?” says Layla. “It’s awesome!”

Anton continues to lead the group through the network of stone columns toward the headstone entrance of the Bedouin Sky Palace.
