The Vixens take the Conspiracy shuttle to Echo Tech City and then the shuttle to the Academy.
Sumdar Morning — 24th Ebinar
Nibs and Sandra woke at 08:20BN and lay in bed enjoying the warmth of each other and also the warmth of the other three sleeping friends. Daraus stirred and shifted position. Nibs slowly moved her legs out from under the covers and dropped them onto the ground. Sandra likewise did the same on the other side of the bed. Blackie stirred and moved slightly and continued to sleep.
Nibs thought said, “Lets get ready and then call them. We have a good eight hour flight ahead of us today.”
“True,” thought replied Sandra.
“We do have,” said Nibs and suddenly saw the living room and heard sounds of a coffee peculator going. Nibs said, “Hun what is going on in the living room sounds wise?”
After a couple of seconds of listening, “General movement of people and wake up activity,” Sandra replied.
“Is a coffee perculator going?” Nibs asked.
“Yes, now that you mention it yes one is going,” Sandra replied.
“Whose eyes and ears were those?” Nibs asked subjectively.
“What hun?” Sandra asked as Nibs headed towards the door.
“I’ve just had another strange vision hence the question about the coffee peculator going,” Nibs replied.
“Right,” Sandra replied and joined Nibs as she opened the door and walked out and saw Wong sat reading something on her PDU and Jum was over by the breakfast bar.
“I now know who it was now, it was Jum hun,” Nibs thought said.
“Ok,” thought replied Sandra.
Wong saw Nibs and Sandra and said in Street Jarrzarian, “Good morning you two.”
“God are you two up early,” Nibs replied in Street Jarrzarian.
“Good morning Wong and you too Jum,” said Sandra.
“I know,” said Jum, “I couldn’t sleep as it’s today we go to the Academy.”
“And I couldn’t sleep either with him tossing and turning,” said Wong.
Tina opened the door and saw the four and said in Jarrzarian, “Good morning, I hope everyone is well?”
“I am thanks, and well done,” Nibs said to the sentence and the style of delivery.
Both Wong and Jum smiled at what Tina had said.
“Why don’t I get complements like that,” Sandra pouted.
“You’ve had a few lessons remember, Tina hasn’t yet,” Nibs replied.
“Ok,” said Sandra and then said to Tina, “I am well too.”
To which Tina smiled and continued for the coffee percolator as she passed the breakfast bar she saw Jum had placed her cup on the side. Tina stopped, grabbed it and sipped the hot drink, “Thank you Jum,” Tina said.
“Your welcome Tina,” Jum replied, “soon we will be having conversations in Jarrzarian rather than just greetings.”
“Just like old times,” Nibs said and smiled whilst remembering the fun the three had terrorizing people when they visited places and tourist sites.
“That is very true,” said Hell Bright as she came from the corridor leading to her’s and Ren’s rooms.
“A good idea is to when Nibs has taught us the languages she knows and Ithian has done the same we talk using all languages it will mean fooling and foxing the enemy completely,” said Ren.
“If what happened for the second time a few minutes ago is what I think it is we may become closer than even communications allow,” said Nibs, “I just saw the living room and heard the coffer perculator through your eyes and ears Jum.”
“Hell,” said Jum.
“Me and Nibs had a short thought conversation last night on the dance floor,” said Wong.
“Oh hell,” said Abs as she walked out of her’s and Tina’s room, “if that is the case then god help those who stand against us.”
Amy and Paul both walked out smiling happy smiles and also looking a little embarrassed. Nibs smiled at their faces.
Angel and Damieel both walked out, of their room, hand in hand. Damieel said when she saw the group, “Good morning everyone. Angel heard you lot talking about Languages, we can add the language of DevilKin.” Angel then said, “and the language of the Olakdun or the language of the Angels.”
Angel then heard a knock from the main door in and moved to open it and said when she had, “Good morning Sarah, Jane, please come in.” Angel and Damieel then moved aside and let the two women in.
Sarah said, “Good morning Vixens, I can see you are all up bright and early.”
“Yeah, tell me about it,” said Paul and got a hard elbow in the ribs from Amy. Paul then said, “Ouch you.”
Amy then moved into the living room and grabbed a glass and poured her self an orange juice.
Jane then entered the living room and said, “The plan today is in the next couple of hours leave for Suraban South East Airport and board a private jet to Echo Tech City, and then take the Line Runner to the Academy.”
“Sounds like a good plan Jane,” Nibs replied, “when were you thinking of leaving here?”
“Tenish, and make the airport by 11:30, 12:00,” Jane said, “and before you say anything we will be bringing everything you want down in a couple of days, your stuff from the Club is already in the back of a four tonner and heading to the airport now, Jaboc, Duggie and Sharra cleared your apartments last night.”
“Other then stopping off at Home base,” Nibs said, “Yeah good plan. How long is the flight going to be?”
“Four to five hours,” replied Jane, “It’s a Conspiracy Executive Jet that is waiting to take us to Echo Tech City. Its powered by four 30,000lbs reactionless engines, we took the designs from the engines on the Scimitar.”
“It’s capable of over Mach 2 in flight,” Sarah said.
“I can announce the Conspiracy can now officially field one squadron of 16 fully aerospace capable fighters,” Jane said, “I got the official email this morning from Derrick in the Alpha Wing.”
Abs eyes lit up and she said, “Aerospace capable fighters!”
“Yes Abs,” Jane replied.
Abs smiled as she realised that with space capable fighters then soon the planet may expand beyond the boundaries constrained on them by the atmosphere.
Nibs also smiled at the news and the challenge a fellow Vixen is also interested in flight.
Sandra said in Nibs’ ear, when she saw that Nibs had her spaced look about her eyes, “Boo.”
“Sorry hun,” responded Nibs, “Anyone else got stuff they need?”
“Yes, we need to get a vial from Wendy’s from what she said and I saw in the initial results, it’s very interesting,” said Paul, “I said we would analysis it at the Academy labs.”
“No problem there,” Sandra said as Nibs got up and headed for the kitchen and breakfast. Nibs opened the fridge and saw it fully stocked with cold items. Nibs checked it all over and realised that she had enough to do the Vixens but not the guests breakfast.
“Sarah, Command must have a canteen area?” Nibs asked.
“Yeah it does,” replied Sarah, “Why?”
“Breakfast,” replied Nibs.
“Good point,” Jane said, “I’ve not eaten this morning either.”
“I have enough to make the Vixens a cooked breakfast but not the guests as well,” Nibs said.
“Shall we wait for them to appear,” said Jane.
“No need,” came Detric’s voice as he and Zoe, “Can some one help us please. I would hate to be stuck in here.”
“No problem,” said Angel and both Angel and Damieel disappeared and pushed the pair out.
Gary also called from the single rooms, “Help.”
“No need, I’ll get him,” called Annabel’s voice as both Annabel and Leia appeared with Annabel pushing Gary.
“I hope the guests enjoyed them selves last night?” Sandra and Nibs asked.
“I did,” replied Detric and looked at Zoe, “I now understand what it means to be a street gang, oh boy did I fuck up.”
“In what way did you fuck up Detric?” Tina asked.
“To be a street gang, you need to be a street gang, not that and something else,” Zoe said, “we both came to the same realisation last night, basically that is what the Gangrels are a street gang, but because you are so large, you get to do all the other things. You have enough of a base to maintain the raw elements that is a street gang.”
“Bingo,” said Jane, “the first thing all Gangrels are told when they come to command for training, ‘forget everything you every heard about life in a street gang and how much fun it can be. Life in a street gang is simple brutal and in most cases can be very short. If your parents don’t understand the scene then please when you don’t have lectures or training exercises planned bring them and let one of the instructors chat to them’.”
“Some parents do, and we do tell them the plain and simple truth, but we also tell them that if they child is injured then he or she will receive the best possible treatments for the injury, hence Michelle’s brother being in Echo Tech City having had all the operations to provide him with a complete set of bionic legs,” Sarah said, “from the reports, he is making excellent progress and the doctors and surgeons will be bringing him out of the induced coma in two weeks, Jane?”
“Yeah about two weeks,” Jane replied, “I’m planning on bringing both the Marauders and Hammers to Echo Tech City to see him when he is brought out. He was very close to them wasn’t he?”
“Yes, he’s the reason the two units work so well together, The Hammers are a fast assault unit using trikes and bikes primarily the Marauders are more a general battle field operations unit, but they provide a defensive base from which the Hammers can strike out against the enemy positions,” Sarah said, “and as they are members of the new Gangrels they are slowly being told about the Conspiracy, we told Pauline, Zoe and Liam. Bill is a natural orator, he was excellent at telling them.”
Amy smiled at what Sarah was saying about Bill and thought, ‘Nice one bro.’
“The nicest thing was Clare and Abbey both heard and knew exactly what was being said with out being in the room,” Sarah said, “Bill carried Gribbloath in and she heard the entire conversation.”
Nibs smiled and thought, ‘nice one Clare, Abbey.’ Nibs then thought said to Sandra, “Those two are getting good.”
“They are aren’t they,” thought responded Sandra.
“Breakfast in what ten minutes,” Nibs suggested.
“Yeah,” Everyone replied and all the Vixens disappeared into their rooms.
Only Hell Bright and Ren were ready and soon returned carrying their rucksacks and formal clothes bags.
Jane said, “Leave the formal items here, we’ll bring those clothes down in a couple of days.”
“Oh yes, Sarah,” Nibs said as she came out of her and Sandra’s room, “You must tell us when you are going to have the fashion show, we’ll make sure we attend and maybe model some of the clothes.”
“Defiantly,” replied Sarah, “I hope you would, as Mads and The High Line are merging under the joint team of me and her.”
“The one question I have is how does she find time?” Tina asked.
“Mads opens up and 09:00BN the curtain makes so much noise when the door is opened it always alerts Mads, she is a very light sleeper, something to do with her being a temporal wizard I think most of the time she spends in the Den working on the clothes she sells,” Jane said.
“On a couple of occasions I have called by and found Yarrar and Gavin both working a sewing machine or wielding a pair of dress making shears,” Sarah said.
“What the guy form Sec Com?” Abs asked.
“Yeah, he says he finds it relaxing and it’s, in his eyes is a better chill then cannabis,” Sarah replied.
“The rough plan for the show is to invite Trivvoth along and get Sophie to persuade him to take her as well, then engineer a random prize to get Sophie back stage and let her be the first model out. The honour and rep Trivvoth is going to get, is going to be massive. It allows us the chance to meet Sophie and get her report first hand, and depending on how it goes maybe start a modelling agency and make sure Sophie is on the books, and a few other of his girls, it’s just we make sure we look after Sophie,” said Jane with real passion in her voice.
“My god,” Annabel quietly exclaimed.
* * * * *
Sarah led the group towards the canteen. Jane was walking close to the back and Annabel dropped back and asked, “I hope you don’t mind me asking, but back in the flat when you were talking about Sophie I heard real passion in your voice. Why?”
“Why you ask,” Jane replied, “150 years ago I formed a group of friends together and created the first Gangrel Gang we had fourteen members and ran in the streets of Ebba Protectorate City. We lived under the same rules as we do now, and that is respect all, whatever colour creed or origins. I formed the group and included in it was Sarah Cutherlate, she like me is a member of the Council of Twelve, and was mandated to prepare the world for the coming of a supreme force. I had other work to do and Sarah had been a gang member before the dream and so she was the best person to lead. I dropped out when the fourteen had helped the very first group of kids from a local kids home, being very much disadvantaged by the older stronger residents. Sarah and three of the younger members made friends with them and then over the next few months they taught then the basics of Gangrel street and how to be a Gangrel, but they also installed in then a comrade that you couldn’t describe, as a word hadn’t been invented, at the time, but now it would be called the doing the right thing.”
Sarah then led the group to Hunters Hovel and collected them and their guests and then headed for the nearest ramp up.
Jane continued, “After a couple of months one of the older youths pushed one of the youngest residents and that was it, the straw that broke the camels back. The eight that had spent the months training took the older ones down and scored the first victory for us as a gang. Sarah has over the years shown an affinity for the young until about 30, but even then she still commands considerable respect from the older people. Ever since then the Gangrels have grown to you see us now, commanders of 18 mercenary commands, the Gangrel Youth Feeder Units and Gangrel Street.”
“One hell of a history, has anyone every written it down, the History of the Gangrels?” Annabel asked.
“I don’t think so,” replied Jane, “Why do you ask?”
“One of my Majors is History and for our final project next year we have been given a free choice in what we write about and hearing your passion and being at the Gathering last night has changed me I know it has,” Annabel said, then continued, “I think it would be good to write the History of the Gangrels?”
“I agree,” replied Jane, “but for your major write the last twenty five years, you have direct living access to members of the Gangrels dating from some twenty five years ago.”
“Who else comes from that era, other than you and Sarah,” Annabel asked.
“Gemma Ford the original founder of the Bitch Vixens, myself, Sarah, and Paul and Sandra’s mum and dad were members of,” Jane replied, “plus she may even be able to remember members from that time, plus you have also got the archives here at command and also other members since then, which I think iLleathe and Arage were members for a while. Dark Legion, three of their number ran with the Dark Legion Gangrel Unit.”
“Some list of famous people in the scene,” Annabel said.
“I know,” said Jane as Sarah led the group into the canteen sat at some of the tables were the party goers from last night, on one table was James, Hinnita and group along with Adrian and some of SD Unit Nine. After the group had collected breakfast they headed for the tables around.
Nibs and Sandra both said, “Hi guys.”
Wayne looked up and replied, “Hi Nibs, Sandra, today’s the big day ain’t it?”
“Yeah if you mean today is the day we leave Suraban,” responded Nibs, “Yeah it is.”
“Are these seats taken?” Sandra asked.
“No,” replied Hinnita. Both Nibs and Sandra sat down and Daraus went and laid under the table.
“I forgot to ask Hinnita. Where’s Maelstrum and Hims?” Nibs asked.
“At SD Nine’s home base,” Hinnita replied.
“No if you come again, bring then,” said Sarah, “I don’t think there’s one Gangrel unless they are allergic to one that don’t like animals as much as they like humans.”
“Ok, I will, thanks Sarah,” Hinnita said.
“Did you enjoy yourselves last night?” Nibs asked.
“Yes very much so,” said James, “After you left, a few of us went out and found the first band had a party going and joined.”
“It was the first time in months I picked up a Gui-Dram and played, I think I may have been the reason for this young female,” Hinnita said. Charlie turned around and looked right at her, Hinnita looked at Charlie and exclaimed, “You,” then after regaining her composure said, “are excellent, the way you made the Gui-Dram sing was incredible, bloody hell,” Hinnita just sat there as she realised that a few members of the table had been present as well.
Nibs then said, “Guys, meet the Gangrel Hunters. A fellow elite unit.”
*****
Around 10:00 everyone had gathered outside the main entrance. Sarah had moved the unit’s bikes and other transport to outside the main entrance.
Julie-Ann, Rachael and Wendy all walked over to where Amy, Paul were stood with Bill who was carrying Damien, as Duggie and the kids had been able to make it to command. Duggie was stood chatting to Sandra and Nibs a short distance away, Hemma and Beatrice were both sat on Pauls bike seat and fuel tank.
Wendy said, “Hello Amy, Bill and let me guess, Damien?”
“Yes Wendy,” Amy said.
Wendy smiled, “So today is the day, oh here Paul,” and Wendy gave Paul the vial of drugs, “Julie-Ann gave me a lift home this morning.”
“Thanks, I’ll start the analysis with in the next few weeks,” Paul said, “and email you the results.”
“Thanks,” Wendy said.
“Stay in contact this time you,” said Julie-Ann.
“I will this time,” Amy replied, “I’m sure to be back at some point. I think we are planning on working a big Green Festival in a couple of months, so I’ll be back in the area for that at least.”
“We three will try and make it,” Racheal said.
Duggie turned around walked the short distance to where Amy and Paul were and looked at Amy with his head cocked to the left, and smiled at her.
Amy smiled back and said, “Dad, you remember Julie-Ann, Racheal and Wendy from my years at Rotork?”
“Yeah I do, and it’s a pleasure to meet with such fine members of the female race,” Duggie replied.
“Hi Hemma,” said Wendy.
“I remember you, your Amy’s friend from the North.”
“Yeah, it’s Wendy,” said Amy.
“The one good with makeup,” Hemma said questionally.
“Yes actually you were very good with make up,” said Amy, “Go and talk to Arage. The Mistress of gothic makeup.”
“Now that’s a damn good idea,” said Julie-Ann, “no Amy’s right you were good with makeup, quality over quantity, and you and when you did ours, we did look good.”
“I will, I’ll go and see her on Moroth, Julie-Ann your going to have to give directions,” Wendy said.
“No I’m not, I’m coming with you and I think Racheal too. If you plan to join the Gangrels then you must look like Gangrels,” Julie-Ann said.
“Ok people lets mount up,” Nibs called over the racket of people talking.
As Amy stepped onto her bike she said, “I’ll email you when we arrive at the Academy, and also send a few pictures too.”
“Done babes,” Julie-Ann said, “and Paul, you look after her, I hear of you wandering out of the line of duty, I’m coming hunting and I’m a specialist hunter.”
“I would never think of it, I think I would have Bill, and Duggie after me if I did,” Paul said, and winked at Amy as she pressed the electric start. Her engine purred into life, and she thought, ‘I want to know how this bike works,’ and as she slowly accelerated to join the rest of the group as they headed for the route out. Amy turned and waved good bye to her friends and family, she knew they would be safe but if anything did happen to them god help the bastards. Amy accelerated and was joined by Charrbrr as she flew from the roof of the main entrance along with the rest of the fairies. Arrick, and Gribbloath along with all four of the Pixies were stood on the roof watching the friends leave.
Nibs took the group towards Gate 2 via a round about route, as very soon they passed the Hammers and Marauders as they uncovered their attack vehicles, Nibs looked at the trikes and saw a full gunners mount was built onto the side of the bike. One bike with gunner sped in front of the convoy the gunner sat operating the machine gun as the bike banked and took the still horizontal gunner’s platform around.
Both Nibs and Sandra stared at the rig and the way it worked. Sandra thought said to Nibs, “Now that is a design worth looking at.”
“Very defiantly,” thought responded Nibs.
The group the left Gangrel command via Gate 2 and sped down the roads towards IC7 and then the CW9 to Home Base then back on to CW9 until CW17 junction and then on to IC16 for the airport. The gate the group would be using was around the back of the airport from the entrance the general public used. Would mean driving the city streets as the IC16 spur road had no exits until you were in side the perimeter and getting out was on a plane, chopper or by the IC16 spur.
Very soon after hitting the IC7 two Echo Tech security patrol cars had moved in front and behind the group as it sped down the IC. The Patrol cars had they flashing lights going and on odd occasions they had to sound the siren so cars would move out of the way for the speeding bikes and other vehicles.
Nicole said over the comm. system, “A little gift from the incumbent boss of Echo Tech.”
“Nice,” responded Sandra.
The group sped down IC7 until the CW9 junction approached, the lead Echo Tech Patrol vehicle took the junction corner at speed and led the group down CW9 to the area around Home Base. The group pulled up out side Home base just as a few kids from up the street came onto the streets to see what the noise was, they cheered when they realised it was the Vixens.
Nibs ran up the front steps used her key to open the door and entered, she went straight to the computer and powered it down. Nibs then pulled out the two hard drive caddies picked up all the mail and closed and locked the front door. Nibs came down the stairs at speed and was back onto her bike, after passing the drives to Jum and Wong, the pair quickly turned around and joined the guys as the headed back for the closest CW9 junction. The two Patrol cars picked them up as they turned onto the CW. The patrol vehicles led the group onto the CW17 junction and then after a short while they picked up IC16. As the group sped down the IC they passed through the northern edges of the heavy industrial base that use to be what made Suraban the centre it was for workers. The population soon topped a twenty million and became the first proto metro.
Nibs thought through what history teacher had told the class about the beginnings of Suraban, and decided that one of her first low level degree would look at the history of Suraban over the last 200 years.
The lead patrol car headed down the IC until three junctions before the Spur road junction. The group slowed for the lights and fed onto the south heading main road.
The houses on the road were off your standard corporate enclave style house, white fake wooden horizontal slatted single storey with a couple of attic bedrooms. In front a expanse of green with a drive way come entrance to the front of the house. The actual front door is behind a wire mesh and was situated off a veranda that was covered by the roof of the house, in front of and leading to the veranda was a few white painted steps. In front of the veranda which has a waist high fence was a large bed of flowers. In most driveways were the second cars belonging to the wife, which she uses to transport the kids around.
Sandra looked around at the scene and thought, ‘When the war hit these will be the first places to fold and accept the new rulers, anything for a simple life.’
“I know,” Pixie said, “I wish there was a way we could warn them, but I think you could be right about just not caring at all about what happens on the world stage as long as they have there nice lives, of going to work, looking after the kids.”
“Yeah, very true,” Nibs thought interjected, “but it’s those we do help and can show the truth to are the ones whom we should be looking for and seeking out.”
“And those with untapped gifts,” thought said Wong to both Nibs and Sandra.
Sandra then looked at Wong in the rear view mirror as the FAV was just behind her, Sandra saw Wong smiling at her, Sandra then saw Wong mouth “I had a feeling you were a true partner.”
“Thank you Wong, Jum,” thought said Sandra.
Every so often the group had to slow and stop for the lights, Nicole indicated right and turned onto one of the secondary roads. The two patrol vehicles pulled off and stopped the lead one waved the group bye as they passed.
Nicole said over the comm. system, “I going to go the back streets now, it’s bloody faster than taking the main roads. Stay with me if you can otherwise I’ve sent the map of the route to your email accounts, just pick them up and follow. The transport or the executive jet ain’t leaving with out everyone.”
About thirty minutes later the group approached the fencing that demarcated the air port controlled land from the rest of the city. The gates that stopped traffic on the main roads if it was needed, stood open and let the group through. As the group left the far side Nicole turned left and drove up a minor road that ran down the fence. At the other end Nicole took a secondary road that headed around and joined a another road that had a sign that said Gate 12, Echo Tech, C.Industries and Corporate Enterprises loading and unloading only. No unauthorized access. Nicole turned left and slowly led the group towards the gates. Which opened when the guy working the controls saw the group.
Nicole led the group towards the large transport jet, already onboard was a four tonner truck and the area behind it was empty as if waiting for something. Eight aircrew stood waiting to strap the bikes down before the transport took off. Nicole, Richard and Jane all drove to the side of the transport but indicated for the rest to drive on.
Richard said, “The transport should have more than enough room guys, we use it to transport six attack FAVs to hot spots all over the world along with all the supporting troops as well.”
Nibs then led the Vixens on to the transport and when they were all on she along with everyone else walked off and joined the four adults as Ithian had also joined Nicole, Jane and Richard. The group then turned and walked towards the entry steps for the private jet.
As Nibs approached the steps up she said, “Just imagine if we hadn’t been involved with the Wacker War how this would feel.”
“I know,” responded Wong, “the wonderment that would go with the unknown.”
“Damn true,” said Amy, “but the knowledge we are friends and would be going as friends.”
“Yes true, the only difference is that Richard is with us as well as Wong and Jum,” Nicole said.
“Would that be a difference, it’s likely I would have brought them over anyway,” Nibs said.
Jane moved away and walked the outside as Nicole and Richard both climbed the steps and turned left for the cockpit where they both sat and strapped themselves in. The Vixens, Ithian, the fairy companions and Daraus, all walked to the large expanse of comfortable living area. Where they all took a seat and strapped them selves in.
Jane boarded and looked into the cockpit and said, “It’s clear, start her up.” Jane then turned and pulled the steps up into the aircraft and then closed the top section and locked them closed. Jane then moved to the main seating area as Nicole pressed the four buttons beneath the rack of four thoatal levers. The jet them slightly larched against the brakes.
Richard said into the comm. system “SSE Air Traffic Control, this is flight ET009 to Echo Tech City, request departure runway information.”
“ET009, SSE Air Traffic Control, proceed to Runway 24L and await instructions,” the voice from the head set said.
“Ok,” said Nicole and brought the outside two throatals to one quarter and Richard pulled the lever that disengaged the brakes. The Jet started to slowly move, Nicole guided it towards the apron and onto the road way that would take the jet and the transport that was following to the right runway for takeoff.
Jane said to the Vixens and Ithian, “The Air Traffic Controller has sent us to Runway 24L which is the correct runway for a jet of this class, but when you are equipped with four 30,000lbs reactionless engines and a 6500 kilo watt nuclear power unit. We need about half the runway space.”
Richard then said from the cockpit, “the two vectored thrust engines give us enough thrust to go straight up.”
“Bloody hell!” exclaimed Abs.
“That’s the level of technology you guys get to play with now,” Jane said.
Nicole pulled the Jet to a stop behind a Sub Orbital from BA Long haul. Nicole looked over at the computer screen in the cockpit and saw the transport and this were the only two planes ahead of them.
Nicole turned to Richard, “Good only this one ahead of us.”
Nibs who was sat looking straight down the jet and out of the cockpit wind screen saw the Sub Orbital move forward and turn left onto the Runway itself. The jet then moved again as Nicole heard SSE Air Traffic Control say, “ET009 move to threshold.” Nicole brought the jet to a stop and Richard applied the brakes.
Nibs saw the Sub Orbital engage its four after burners and it slowly started to accelerate down the runway, out of the side windows Nibs could see the exhaust flame from the engines. The Sub Orbital reached the correct speed to be able to pull away she began to climb and soon the undercarriage disappeared into the jet.
Nicole and Richard both heard the Controller say after waiting 45seconds from the time of the Sub orbital accelerating, “ET009 you are cleared for Runway 24L, have a safe journey.”
“Thank you Control, moving to Runway 24L,” Richard replied.
Nicole moved the jet forward and turned onto the runway. In front of the cockpit in bedded in the tarmac of the runway was a red light, which suddenly went green. When Nicole saw the green light she moved all four throatals up and forward. Richard’s left hand disengaged the brakes and the jet started to move and accelerate, after about eight seconds. Nicole pulled back on the controls and the nose lifted from the ground and the jet started to climb. Richard then operated the retract undercarriage level and when the green light went from flashing to solid did he remove his hand.
Sandra who had been looking out of the window the whole time saw the acceleration and the speed at which they started to gain altitude.
Nicole then said, “SSE Air Traffic Control we thank you for your assistance.”
“Thank you ET009,” the controller replied then he said, “I’m transferring you to Suraban Air control.”
“Suraban Air Control this is Flight ET009 out of SSE Airport request height and bearing information of Echo Tech City at Mach two,” Nicole said in a deadly serious voice.
The Controller replied, “ET009 height to four, three, zero, zero, zero feet and bearing of one three five degrees until Echo Air Control boundaries.”
“Thank you Suraban Air Control, climbing to four, three, zero, zero, zero feet, bearing one three five degrees,” Nicole replied and pulled the nose up a bit more.
Richard then said, “Take her to Mach two Nicole.”
Nicole then said, “Ok, Richard, let’s see them follow this,” Nicole’s right hand went to the throatals and moved the smaller levers, as she was doing so Nicole said, “Stage two burn engaged.”
The read out in the cabin which was reading 477mph then suddenly started to go up at some speed, and it stopped at 2000mph, or Mach two.
Richard then said, “Routes in, engaging neural net autopilot.” Richard then unstrapped himself from the cockpit and walked back into the main cabin saying, “I think we have just frightened two Air Traffic Controllers.”
“Yeah I bet,” responded Paul.
“Drinks anyone?” Jane asked, then said, “it’s self service on this flight.”
“Like all conspiracy flights,” said Richard.
“So what was last week like?” Nicole asked.
“Excellent thanks Nicole,” Sandra said, “both me and Nibs were able to finish our first drums.”
“That’s good as I think some of the second years play but they are looking for a drum leader and I know four of the new forth years have set up a band and are looking for a drummer,” Jane said, “and from what I saw at the wedding everyone was loving the beats especially when the lights dimmed and the Fire Spinners stepped up. I think the audience took a collective gasp as Tina and Abs started.”
“That was the first time I had seen you and you were good,” Nibs said.
“Thank you” replied Tina.
“What are your plans, with you about to start at the Academy?” Richard asked.
“Working on equipment to help me break and enter places and surveillance systems,” Nibs said, “and looking at the history of Suraban over the last 200 years, hopefully from the people perspective.”
“Yeah,” said Sandra, “Me, some form of information system, and also improving my acting and associated skills.”
Ren unstrapped himself, got up so he could walk to the bar and said, “I think I shall be bar man, Drinks anyone?”
“Yes, Bar-Kam soda thanks Ren,” Nicole replied.
“My usual thanks Ren,” said Nibs and Sandra nodded her agreement.
“Bar-Kam and Cabilla thanks Ren,” replied Amy.
“Crabiton thanks,” replied Paul
“Black Snake thanks,” replied Jane
“Black current thanks,” Richard replied, “I have to be sober so we can land at Echo Tech City.”
“True,” said Nicole, “I’m on soft drinks after this one.”
“Same as Paul thanks,” replied Tina.
“Here three,” said Abs.
“Cabilla thanks Ren,” Wong replied and Jum nodded when Ren looked at the pair.
“Hell Bright, Angel, Damieel?” Ren asked.
“I’m ok bro thanks,” Hell Bright replied.
“Veallint thanks,” Angel replied as she stood up and headed for the rest room.
“Same,” replied Damieel.
Nibs stood and moved to the cockpit door and looked in at the controls and dials. Richard moved to just behind Nibs and said, “You interested in learning how to fly Nibs?”
“Yes I am,” replied Nibs, “I’m seriously thinking of trying for Trish’s title as well.”
“Trish will be happy to hand it over,” Richard replied, “Sit up front as we land, it’s a good way of learning, and if your serious about learning, I’ll organise a six month course with Alpha Wing of the Conspiracy Transport Corp, they pilot all the fast aero vehicles, and the new aerospace fighters as well.”
“The designers think they will have perfected the designs for a attack fighter and are close to completing an interceptor,” Nicole said.
“The attack fighter sounds good,” said Abs.
“Yeah it does,” responded Nibs, “and remember we get to have fun as well.”
“Oh yeah,” responded Abs, “I forgot about that. The possibilities.” Abs then sat back and let her mind wander through the possible options.
Jane then said, “To continue what is everyone else going to be doing?”
“Me,” replied Ren, “looking at the security around the Academy and Conspiracy servers, it took me a couple of seconds to break through the password lock outs, and I completely bi-passed the black and grey ice they use.”
“Hell,” said Nicole as she picked her drink from the bar.
“I’ll also be working on improving the remote sensors and bugs,” Ren said, “and looking at the long term effects of the urban sprawl on the natural environment.”
“Not sure myself,” replied Amy, “other than improving my magick and related skills.”
“Looking at the environment,” replied Paul, “not in the same was as Ren, but the natural environment. Also politics and economics especially corporate economics.”
“Medical and similar,” replied Wong.
“Weapons and similar,” Jum said, “especially advanced weapons like the plasma and charge particle weapons, and ground vehicles.”
“Me,” replied Hell Bright, “looking at Archaeology specifically a site in south Surra, which if my estimates are correct dates to about 5000 years ago.”
“I’m thinking of going on a different tack now, and look at media and how it can be used to change peoples opinions and attitudes,” Tina replied.
“Probably the new Aerospace vehicles,” replied Abs.
“Angel, Damieel?” asked Jane.
“Helping everyone else,” they both replied.
“A very cryptic answer,” Jane said, “what are you going to study?”
“Nothing,” Damieel replied, “We gave up schooling when we escaped from the religious school, we went and got our Highers because Mistress Darla wanted us to get them. Now we are free, we plan to help the Vixens in their projects and adventures and learn as we go.”
“Ok,” said Nicole, “I think the twins are just going to go on enjoying life.”
To this statement from Nicole both the Twins smiled.

After four hours Echo Tech City Air Control was heard on the comm. system saying, “Flight ET009 this is Echo Tech City Air Control, please responded with correct ident signal.”
Richard got up and went to the cockpit and typed in a short code to the computer and the voice was heard saying after a couple of seconds, “Thank you flight ET009, ident signal received and authorized for Echo Tech City Airport approach.
Richard sat in the right hand seat and turned to the cabin and asked, “You going to join me Nibs?”
“Yeah,” Nibs replied and moved towards the cockpit and sat in the left hand seat.
Richard said, “We still have twenty minutes, but when we get this close to Echo Tech City I always like to have a human hand on the controls, nothing against the neural net, but it’s a computer.”
“And computers fail from time to time,” Nibs responded.
“Yeah exactly,” said Richard, “but it’s the size of the sky scrapers as well. Most are 140 plus floors.”
“Fuck me!” Nibs exclaimed somewhat shocked, “140 plus floors.”
“I would say about 45% of the skyscrapers are at least 140 floors, the rest are at least 90 floors,” Jane said from the cockpit door.
The jet banked slightly right and settled onto a new heading of 165degrees and also began to slowly loose altitude, Richard brought the engines back to stage one burn cycle and at the same time disengaged the primary autopilot. He then took the controls lightly in his hands and said, “When the main neural net autopilot is disengaged the older computer based one takes over and takes us on the last stage until final approach to Echo Tech City Airport.
As the jet dipped beneath the high level clouds Nibs saw for the first time Echo Tech City. A city she knew had over 567 million people living and working within it’s limits. In the middle of the city was Echo Tech tower, over a thousand metres tall, 245 floors of the main corporate head quarters and one of the centres of the Conspiracy.
Richard said over the comm. system, “Echo Tech Air Control this is flight ET009, requesting special clearance for a sight seeing tour of the city. Authorization code Richard Alpha two six six five epsilon.”
“Clearance granted ET009,” the controller said.
Richard then said into the cabin, “Take a look out of the windows I have permission to give you lot a sight seeing tour.”
Nibs looked back and most of the Vixens turned around and looked out of the windows in wonderment at the city beneath then. Sandra moved to the cockpit door and was joined by Daraus. Who jumped into Sandra’s arms and looked out of the wind screen.
The city was green, it had trees on most roads, large expanses of parkland, it looked like most buildings had solar panels or wind turbines on the roofs. Most of the skyscrapers were covered in glass, but as Nibs looked at them she saw it was dark in places and light in others.
Nibs turned to Richard as he banked left and showed the viewers the main park that stretched completely around the city centre, in the middle of was Echo Tech Tower. “Richard the buildings are covered in glass and yet in some areas is dark in others it’s light?”
“Multi glass, all the buildings are covered in it, it allows for privacy of the occupants,” Richard replied.
Nibs then turned to Sandra and said, “Almost to our new home now hun.”
“Yeah I know,” Sandra said and turned back into the cabin and moved to one of the empty seats and looked out the windows.
Richard then said, “Ok ladies and gents, please prepare for landing at Echo Tech City Airport.”
Richard brought the inner two engines to quarter thrust and clicked two switches at the base. Richard then said, “Echo Tech City airport, flight ET009 request landing clearance for vertical landing.”
“Flight ET009, request granted Pad 23 is cleared and awaits your arrival,” the controller said.
“Thank you Echo Tech City Airport, Pad 23,” Richard said and banked right and brought Echo Tech City Airport into view.
Nibs then saw Echo Tech City Airport, a building some 50 stories high, but dotted on the outside was over 80 landing pads. Nibs estimated about three quarters were occupied. From one she saw a similar jet slowly take off by rising on a forty five degree angle.
Richard said, “One of our earlier attempts at VTOL executive jets, it works and the company still uses it for short haul hops.” Richard then brought the two inner throttles up and the entire jet slowed dramatically. When the middle two were at full power Richard dropped the other two back to one quarter and then he slowly decreased the power to two engines and the jet slowly started to descend vertically and a couple of minutes later had lightly touched down on the landing pad. Richard disengaged the engines and brought the reactor to the level were it could power the internal electronics and lights as the time was now the same as they had left around 12:00BN.
Nicole stood, and said, “We have a few hours to kill, as it takes about four hours for the line runner to travel to The Academy from here and Dinner is at 06:00 this evening.”
“Aren’t we coming back to Echo Tech City very soon?” ask Abs.
“Yes, next Savraday,” said Jane, “It the first field trip.”
“Then I say we sight see next weekend and get to the Academy now. I wouldn’t mind chilling for a while there before Dinner,” Abs said.
“Same here,” replied Wong, “I do feel a little tired after the flight and I have a sore neck.”
“Then I think it’s decided, lets go to The Academy,” Nibs said.
Jane moved to the door and opened it and let the steps down drop. Jane descended first and was greeted by one of the air side crew who asked, “You got any cases to off load?”
“No, just hand luggage thanks,” Jane replied as the engine housing creaked a little whilst cooling.
Nibs closely followed by Daraus and Sandra, who was carrying both hers and Nib’s small rucksack, along with all the fairies exited the door way and stepped onto the landing platform and saw that the landing pad was transparent and you could see the ground some 500 feet beneath them.
Nicole who was closely following them said, “It’s the same material that the first and second floor tiers in Club Millana are made from.”
Jane led the group towards a set of double door that slid open as they approached. The inside of the Airport was large and airy. From what the Vixens could see they had landed on a private landing pad, Jane turned right and headed for a set of stairs down and then down another set. On this level she turned left and another set of double doors opened and sat on the landing pad was a large vehicle, which she opened the side door of and climbed inside, Nibs followed Jane in, and was quickly joined by Daraus, and the rest of the group. Jane lent over and said, “Echo Tech Tower, Pad 225 C please, Jackson.”
“Done Jane, welcome home,” Jackson said.
“Thank you,” Nicole said, “Vixens meet the third best pilot in the Conspiracy, Jackson Bennatt. Put him and Jaboc team fighting Trish, she looses.”
“Yeah, but only two times out of the last ten tries have me and Jaboc beaten Trish,” Jackson replied, “She is a demon in the air.”
Richard climbed in and slammed the door shut and sat down. Richard then said, “Hi Jackson.”
“Hey dude, welcome home,” Jackson said and Richard grabbed his hand and shook in ghost fashion.
Richard then said, “Jackson is my pilot when I take a combat unit into danger.”
Nibs looked around out of the windows and saw vehicle’s that looked similar to this one flying down between the buildings.
Jackson the brought a low level whine up and the vehicle lifted off the platform and floated on a layer of air.
Tina exclaimed, “What the hell,” as the vehicle slipped right and moved out from the platform and into the moving traffic. Jackson then indicated and slowly accelerated and joined the faster moving vehicles.
Jane turned to Tina and said, “Contra gravity. When we found the city associated with the super Nexus we found a few vehicles that floated on a cushion of gravity. The aerospace fighters we found on the Scimitar worked on similar technology and we merged the two techs and because of it, Echo Tech City won the award from the World Government for the Greenest city on Darra Von, most of the vehicles use a fuel cell rather than engines that burn fuel, you probably saw as we came in that all the buildings have solar panels and or wind turbines on them.”
“The solar panels and wind turbines provide about 30% of the power needed by the city, the rest is provided by the four Mana reactors that are at the very bottom of the Control Pyramid. We have two 60 gigawatt Nuclear power plants on the outskirts of the city which we power on once every three months, to give the mana reactors the chance to de-polorize,” said Nicole, “the city itself uses about 43 gigawatts most days from the reactors and as the current guessing is that one of the Mana reactors can probably provide the metro the size of South Sea Metro, two is more than ample for a metro the size of Deebina Metro.”
The vehicle moved about in the air with so much freedom. Jackson suddenly dipped the nose and banked hard right and went low level. As the transport levelled out, Jackson said, “Visitors to Echo Tech City, on our left is Echo Tech Medical centre. The leading medical centre the world over, also in the top three teaching hospitals and Research and Development centres. On our right is the World Government’s Main office building, 167 stories the second highest sky scrapper in Echo Tech City. The Tallest behind Echo Tech Tower is the Corporate Bank and Financial Pyramid which comes in at 187 stories.” Jackson then flew over one of the large park land zones, they had seen coming in on the jet, “Jane I’m I right your going to the Academy this evening?”
“Yeah we are, meet the new intake,” Jane replied.
“Dudes, I bow to the elite,” Jackson said, “I’m spending a couple of months there working with a couple of fifth years on the new LAR. You got the private line booked this afternoon?” Jackson then asked as he hovered the transport in the middle of the park.
“Yeah,” Richard said.
“Fuck it, give this a recharge and I’ll fly you there in a couple of hours,” Jackson said.
“How can you, this ain’t got the speed.” Nicole said.
“No, this ain’t, but with the long range flight rig, three times the top speed and eight hours flight range and as manoeuvrable,” Jackson replied, “the fifth years I’m working with designed it I think two years ago, and I got the test rig.”
The Jackson turned almost right round and then accelerated and said, “To continue the aerial tour, on our right is darling Nicole’s and Jane’s, mansions, the park land we are flying over is officially owned by the mansions, but the Gangrel way applies heavily here.”
Jane smiled and said, “Yeah, as it should Jackson,” and Jane passed him her blunt.
“Thank you,” said Jackson as he took a draw on it, “to our left we have the worlds tallest skyscraper measuring in at a whopping 1180 metres to the very top of the spire, Echo Tech Tower, the corporate Head quarters for Echo Tech, C.Industries, Corporate Enterprises and one of the main command centres for the Conspiracy,” Jackson said, and banked left and headed around the outside of the tower, then he headed for the edge of the city, “I’ll be happy to give anyone of you a proper guided tour next weekend.”
“We may take you up on that one,” Sandra said and reached over and grabbed Jackson’s shoulder and said, “A gift from me to you Jackson, the Gift of true sight.”
“Haullieaal babies,” Jackson exclaimed when he saw all of the fairies sat on the bash board looking out the wind screen.
Blackie turned to look at Jackson and said, “I hope that was a good exclamation.”
“It was,” Jackson said, “Welcome back to the fight little people, I’ve known of your existence for a very long time, it’s one of the reasons I am elite, my daughter could see things other kids couldn’t. They ridiculed her, bullied and name called, but she didn’t care, she could see what they couldn’t. Bethany as she was called, took me one evening on a journey and ever since then I’ve believed and have with the help of the library and fairies have written the official history of the Fairy involvement in the Conspiracy War. It’s due out next week.”
“Dude, you got it finished,” Richard said.
“Yeah I have,” Jackson said, “some of the reviews I’ve had from the fiction reviewers are great.”
“What!” exclaimed Nicole, “Fiction?”
“Yeah, fiction I wrote it as if it was a story,” Jackson replied as he came into a recharge stop, “The first page inside the front cover says, ‘written for those who do believe in the unexplainable’.”
“Right,” Nicole said, “Nice one.”
Then after 20 seconds Jackson slipped right and accelerated away. After gaining a little altitude he continued, “Yeah, that’s what I thought, get the information out there, in a format most people will read and understand, not believe but when things do happen they have a reference point,” Jackson said, “How much do you lot know about the Conspiracy?”
“We’ve just spent the last month living at Club Millana, helping out in the Wacker War,” replied Nibs.
“So I guess you know quite a bit then,” Jackson said.
“Yes and some very close experience of the activities,” said Amy.
“Right, so I take it you know who Paul and Kev are then?” Jackson said as he banked right and headed north east.
“Yes they do, both Kev and Paul are currently living at the Club, Paul and Kev will be back for the Academy Ball,” Richard said.
“Hey, it will be good to see Paul,” Jackson said, “well the two mansions to our right are Paul’s and Kev’s and I think the large house there is yours ain’t it Richard.” Jackson the banked left and passed over a large house with a large satellite dish in the garden.
“Yes it is,” Richard replied.
Jackson then brought the transport into a small light industrial site when the group heard four heavy sounding clunks were heard from the four corners. Jackson then said, “The long range flight assembly.” Jackson then climbed vertically out of the car-park area and then slipped the inner throatals to zero and then brought all four to about half position, and the vehicle accelerated towards the outskirts of the metro and very soon they were flying over fields belonging to KRX and the other farming companies.
* * * * * *
After half an hour of flight Jackson pushed the levers to full and the entire vehicle accelerated forward. Very soon the vehicle was zipping along the tops of trees.
Jackson said, “the base of the Air traffic control radar for Echo Tech County is two metres above us here. Thank fully the base in Darrumith is 250 metres rather that the 70 metres in Echo County. We’ll be out of Echo County in about thirty minutes. Then the vehicle was out over the sea, “at least now I have some freedom to manoeuvre,” said Jackson, as he dived away to about 30 metres above the tops of the waves.
Jum asked, “How does the technology work?”
“It works by creating a negative gravity bubble and as long as the contra grav unit has power that bubble is always present,” Richard said.
“The new aerospace fighters are all equipped with them, it deals with escape velocity issues,” Jackson said, “I was one of the four test pilots, the fighters have a top speed of about mach nine in the upper atmosphere and fire your thrusters and your gone in space. The biggest advantage is that reverse the polaility and you get gravity.” Then Jackson said in a more serious tone, “Jane, Nicole do you remember you asked me to keep my ears to the world government grape vines?”
“Yeah I do,” said Jane.
“It looks like Hipotite is massing a large army of volunteers and also putting a quiet call out for mercenary commands,” Jackson said, “from some of my contacts in the mercenary haunts have been saying it looks as if the Dragons have offered their services.”
“Fuck me, this changes a lot,” Nicole said, “does Hipotite have any idea of the level of fire power the new rulers are packing.”
“Don’t know,” Jackson said, “spying is not my game, fly by my arse is,” Jackson’s voice had a slight laugh.
The next couple of hours flew past and soon Jackson said, “Academy Control, Jackson, transporting this year’s intake, Nicole, Jane, Richard and Ithian. I’m inbound on a bearing of 344degrees true. Eta five minutes.”
“Inbound flight, Academy control, a message from us here in control, welcome to your new home intake,” the voice said over the speaker.
Jackson then climbed a bit and when he brought the nose level, he said, “Ladies and Gents of the Vixens, members of the Elite, The Academy.”
The sight was of an old mansion from the times around the 1700AM (After Meteorite) but the right wing complex was very modern looking in an old fashion style of way. The left wing was keeping with the main section of the house, surrounding it was again modern looking building but very much looking like old world construction and these were mixed in with the trees and other natural features.
Jackson took the transport right up the main entrance road and said, “the closest main road is forty miles behind us.” Then Jackson slowed and took the intake over the main building. The right hand wing was massive, but the left hand wing was gianmous.
Jane said, “The South Wing is the Accommodation block for this year, the north wing and surrounding buildings house the Academy. The Library is held on Sub-basement one, the sub-basement also has tunnel links to all the out lying buildings,”
“Where’s the new Accommodation blocks going?” asked Nibs.
“Down by the lake side,” replied Nicole, “along with a lot of the staff accommodations as well.”
“Very nice,” said Abs.
Out the back was a group of people some sitting others lying on the grass, when Jackson flew over. Two of the group looked up, jumped up and ran towards the front.
* * * * * *
Harry and Dan both were laying on the ground before going in when they saw the transport vehicle swing low over the house.
Harry looked up at it and said, “Ain’t that the Long Range Flight Assembly?”
“Yeah it is, who the fuck is flying it,” Dan said and both of them headed for the front where they arrived and saw the Heads of the Academy standing waiting for the transport to arrive.
* * * * * *
The transport landed and again the group heard four loud clunks and the transport them lifted off and touched down right in front of the main entrance a good ten metres away from the six members of the staff waiting for them to arrive.
Jane slid the slide door open whilst Jackson climbed out and walked around the front of the transport, Nicole and then the Vixens got off and were closely followed by the fairies who landed on the roof of the transport. Richard then Ithian exited the transport last.
Jane then said, “The Vixens meet the six people who make the Academy run. Paula, The head mistress, Simon the guy in charge of making sure it works,” Simon smiled at Jane, “Zina, head of all support staff, Barbara who is in charge of making sure missions or field trips are safe. Mick head of all the teaching staff and Torban head of Academy security.”
“Thank you Jane,” replied Paula, “Yes. Dinner is at six some one will find you and guide you to the canteen. Simon.”
“Thank you Paula,” Simon said, “Yeah if you wouldn’t mind following me I will show you to your accommodation area.” Simon led the Vixens up the main entry stairs and into the main hall, which was dominated by a water colour of a mountain range and lake.
Nibs asked, “Is that picture by iLleathe?”
“Yes it is,” Simon replied, “How did you guess it was by him?”
“We come from Suraban and know both iLleathe and Arage,” Nibs replied.
“How, professionally, socially?” Simon asked.
“As members of the Elite and socially,” Sandra replied.
“I read your files after Jane had sent the updates to us, with the message, ‘these may be the ones’,” Simon said and opened a door and entered a wide corridor to the left hand side was the front windows, Simon turned at the first junction and led the group down the corridor and opened a door and said, “Your years common room, leading from it are your rooms. It is divided on to two floors I hope you like what I was able to do.”
Nibs walked into the common room and saw a large room that stretched both floors. On the opposite side to the door was a metal spiral staircase in an alcove. On each of the three sides was a pair of doors and it was repeated on the first floor. the middle of the common room was a mixture of arm chairs, and cushions and similar. Around the rest of the room were desks with a few computers on and below. On the wall with the main door was an area with a kettle and other drinks making equipment.
Angel who the last through the door closed it and a second later heard a knock from it, Angel turned and opened it and saw Paula standing there, Angel said, “Please come in.”
“Thank you, and I’m not sure,” replied Paula, “I know everyone else, but as from outward signs you two are identical, how do we tell you apart.”
“I’m Angel, I have a white strip of hair running down the centre, its just about visible, but either name works, for we are identical.”
“Right,” responded Paula, “Your Sandra?” Paula asked as Sandra grasped her arm.
“A gift from me to you Paula, the gift of true sight,” Sandra said.
“So this is what Jane meant when she said, we will be hosting more than we expected” said Paula when Sandra had finished.
“Yes,” Nibs said.
“I’m here to say that the plans for this area were put together rather quickly and if you want to change them then talk to any of the maintaince staff,” Paula said.
“The first question is. The kitchen facilities what are they like?” asked Jum.
“Arh, yes, when Jane said you lot like cooking I realised that this area has no actually facilities for that, but I would have to pass this through Simon but he may be able to rig something up,” Paula replied.
“Leave it with us,” Ren said, “Let us have a think and a plan.”
“Ok,” Paula said, “I came to tell you that the third years are hold a bit of a party and they wondered if you wanted to go an enjoy.”
“Good place to hit most at once,” said Amy.
“Yeah, true,” responded Sandra, “Lets go chill.”
