"Understandable," says Graham. "In that case, I'd like to ask your assistance in securing enough of those supplies from the old facilities to meet our people's needs before any other moves get made. I'm afraid I can only offer you Follows-Chalk's help- the other Dead Horses won't go near the remaining pre-War buildings. The Sorrows believe in a spirit that lives in the caves here, say the spirit punished them once for trespassing. They put marks around the cave entrances and the old buildings to keep people out. It doesn't work on the White Legs, of course, but the Dead Horses are spooked. Follows-Chalk may be inexperienced compared to the rest of them, but he knows enough of our language to ignore the taboos about pre-War buildings."
