<p><i>Audi has just  joined the group, and wants to check what is in Ginger’s reader about the planet they are stranded on.</i></p>
<p>&#8220;Let me check what&#8217;s there on Rakal,&#8221; Audi said, and Ginger handed her the reader.  Coralie and Madame Irela moved close beside Audi, anxious to know as much as possible about their plight.  Audi checked a number of entries and maps, then sighed and said, &#8220;Thought so.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Thought what?&#8221; Coralie demanded.</p>
<p>&#8220;The tropics were never settled&#8211;just collecting stations for the botanicals that were Rakal&#8217;s main exports.  That&#8217;s good and bad both.”</p>
<p><i>Good and bad how? </i></p>
