CHAPTER II : The Desert

The first thought that came to Rachel's mind after checking them, was using the drones to monitor her surroundings.

It took one hour or so for the drones to come across a caravan of people. From the drones footages you could easily look at 6 men, travelling towards her from the west.

They were all dressed in a strange way.The clothes were similar,in a light white colour that covered the whole body. You could only see clearly the face and hands from which you could notice the dark brown colour of the skin.

Beside the strange way of dressing even the language they were speaking was a mystery to Rachel. She had studied different old languages yet neither of them matches the one she was currently hearing.

The caravan didn't seem far away but still it would take them an another hour or two to reach Rachel's whereabouts.

Meanwhile Rachel tries to analyse the language.Tries that were in vain.There was no internet access to help her analysing.

After a few minutes of uneasiness she remembers an important detail.

She wasn't alone, with her was the minirobot "AKA".

AKA is an artificial intelligence created by Rachel herself.The minirobot has a direct connection with the Time Machine. More importantly it has an infinity of data saved into his database and thankfully it doesn't need internet connection to access into it.

"AKA" she calls after remembering about the minirobot. "Yes master, what can I do to help ? "Responds to her call AKA that was momently hanging in her wrist as a simple watch.

"Can you find out in which timeline we are by looking at the drones footages and this language?" She asked immediately.

"Please wait for a while master. "AKA starts to analyse the footage right after hearing her ."Master, according to my database this place is known as Egypt. More precisely it is the Ancient Egypt. One of the first places of the human civilization. Although I don't seem to be able to detect the precise timeline in which we are into. Regardless of the language,it looks like I may need to update my database to access it. The update may take some time, so I hope you can be patient while waiting master."

"Alright, thanks for answering AKA". Although she didn't show it ,her voice was desperate.That wasn't was she expected. AKA responds to her lightly"It's my dusty to help you master."

Time passed,the heat become more and more unbearable. Rachel was thirsty but had no water. It seems like ages had passed since the moment she opens her eyes. Her mind was becoming hazy and she could hardly keep her eyes open.

Rachel look west one last time and saw her only hope of surviving. The caravan was no more than 20 meters away from her.

That was the last thing she saw before falling unconscious on the burning hot ground.
