Clara had to reach the top of the outcropping, sixty feet in the air. Going up from the outside would be significantly easier, but also potentially deadly with the aerial scans. If a scan caught her, that could be the end. No, it was safer beneath the outcropping, so she wouldn’t reveal her position until she absolutely had to.

Clara had avoided bringing most technological devices with her, at least motor driven in nature or satellite communicating, for fear of having the signal detected or intercepted. Now what she wouldn’t give for some simple device assistance. But no use complaining.
