"It bodes ill." She lowers her gaze from the sky once more. "Either something has gone wrong, or this is a trick."
If they go to the edge, will there be a trap waiting for them? If not, will they find shelter from the sun outside the dome? If there are no printers, are they not bound here even without their walls?
But if there is stone, and if there are animals, she can build a shelter. She can build waygates--she'd have to build and feed a second Heart in the city to do it, but...
"I'm willing to take the chance, however. Do you think we have time to travel to the edge before dawn?"
