Triangulation

Yesterday, we saw that Rome was able to contact her son, Aason. To her relief, both he and Rome's mother Binoda was safe for the time being and were hidden in a cave somewhere. But where? Rome need to figure out where Aason was located because he could not tell her. The Overmind of Deucado comes to the rescue:

     “So that is the situation,” Rome said. “Can you still find connections using triangulation like you did when you were still seizing babies?”
     “Yes,” replied the Overmind. “Please have Aason open his mind so that we can track him.”
     “Very well,” Rome said. “Aason, can you hear me?”
     “Yes, Mommy.”
     “You remember the Overmind.”
     “Yes but I don’t like him very much,” Aason said. “He was mean to you.”
     “You know he isn’t like that anymore,” Rome answered. “He is going to help us find you. I want you to open up your mind and let him in for a bit. Can you do that?”
     “Yes, Mommy,” Aason replied, reluctantly.
     “Thank you,” the Overmind replied. “Hello, Aason.”
     “Hello,” Aason answered glumly.
     “It will be fine. This is so you will be safe. I will only need a moment.”
     Rome wriggled around in her seat impatiently, waiting while the Overmind performed its magic. Rei scanned the men opposite of them to see if any of them noticed anything unusual. Some of them were watching them but without a keen interest.
     Finally, the Overmind responded. “Not quite there,” it replied. “I need three points of reference. I have used the Vuduri in Vuduri City as one. I used the Vuduri in New Ark City as the second. But I need a third. Aason is closer to New Ark City that much I can tell. But he could be to the north or south, I cannot deduce which. I cannot find any Vuduri far enough on either side to finish the search.”
     “What are we going to do?” Rome asked with just a tinge of fear in her mental voice. “Can you send someone in a flyer?”
     “I could do that but I may not need to,” the Overmind replied. “Will you be able to control the reentry to the planet?”
     “Yes,” Rome said. “They are expecting me to pilot the ship in.”
     “Excellent. Then instead of reentry parallel to the equator, use a polar route. As you circle around the planet, I will use you as the third point of reference. We should be able to pinpoint his location fairly quickly.”
     Rome breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you,” she said. “I will let you know as soon as I begin reentry.”

OK. All the pieces are in place. Now we just need to pull the trigger.
