Chapter 8 A Foursome

Nansella suggested that another couple she knew in the singles group were somewhat arts and handcrafts people, and were friendly and interested in the cabinets; so they invited the couple, Jockly and Juisette, to ride with them up to the lake area. Arriving there, they showed them the path to the small lake, and then the landscaping and cave they had created, and the shop for making cupboards. They also pointed out the small barriers to prevent accidentally being in the way of the satellite blasting beam that was randomly chipping away at a new cave made into the basalt, which had been made about five meters deep at that point. Jockly and Juisette were fascinated by the whole activity and eagerly wanted to help.

So Geodon and Nansella wrote up a relationship agreement amongst the four of them, a partnership in the business. Juisette wanted to start moving into the new cave even though it was not as deep as could be bored by the technique.

So Geodon reprogrammed the satellite blasting beam to begin chipping away at a new face of the basalt ripple that was becoming dwellings. This spot had long intrigued Geodon because its ripples starting several meters behind the blasting area were different from the area they had already made into cave rooms; and he thought it might have a lava tube back there, and he was curious to see if that was true. He moved the protection barrier to make easy access to the second cave blasting site, and waited until the next time for the satellite to be in a position to send its brief concentrated solar energy beam to shock away a first layer of the new boring site, and it indeed was right on target.

The next trip up to the lake area, all four of them carried buckets of sand. They removed the spalled fragments from the inside of the second cave, and showed Jockly and Juisette how to use the fragments and sand and adhesive and ultrasonic generator to build up a front wall and doorway, layer by layer. Geodon worked with them to speed up the construction process, while Nansella continued to make cabinets in the first cave room.
