Epsilon Indi Ring:just outside Neo-Luddite settlement<br> | |||
Maril and Warrant Officer Samuel McStirens, one of the medical officers, | |||
walked in to the settlement without anyone really noticing them. In fact, they were | |||
almost ignored as they walked down a street on the outskirts of the city. | |||
The Neo-Luddites were at a stage of development close to late 20th-century to | |||
mid 21st-century Earth. They had come from another settlement on a distant planet | |||
approximately one hundred fifty years ago. There were a few space vessels at the | |||
Spaceport at the other end of the settlement, but not many. The Neo-Luddites were | |||
rather isolationist. | |||
Maril and McStirens actually had quite aways to go before they got to the | |||
actual city. The area they were in was actually more of a suburb than anything else. | |||
"Get some samples,'' Maril whispered to McStirens. "We will take a metro | |||
train into the city in approximately half an hour." | |||
"Aye, sir." | |||
Maril took a look around. There were not many houses in this area; the land | |||
was taken up mostly by farms. | |||
Maril felt a tap on the shoulder and turned around. A young man, apparently | |||
Neo-Luddite, stood there. | |||
"Yes?" | |||
"Hello, I'm Stio Abigacho. Pleased to meet you." | |||
"Ummm...please to meet you too," Maril replied. | |||
"I can see you're pretty new to the settlement. I know the city prettty well. | |||
Maybe I can help you." | |||
"Hmm..not now. Maybe later," Maril responded. He knew that he would need | |||
to find a place to stay and organize the team before he could even really look for a | |||
guide. | |||
"Well, okay. You can call me at 27-ABIG-032-11. I'll be wherever you need me." | |||
"Thank you." Maril realized this young Neo-Luddite might come in handy | |||
some time. | |||
MD 3.1945<br> | |||
EI Ring: Neo-Luddite settlement: Eastern Central Section: Sikia Way<br> | |||
Maril, and McStirens, stood in front of the rather large house on the crowded | |||
Sikia Way. This was one of the oldest sections of the city, and also one of the busiest. | |||
Maril was trying to see how much he would have to pay for this house, 88 Sikia Way. | |||
Luckily, he did have some Neo-Luddite currency with him. | |||
"We will only need it for about thirty days," Maril said. He didn't expect them | |||
to be there that long, but he wanted to be on the safe side. | |||
"Fine. If you pay 520 birads right now, and 2450 at the end of the month or | |||
whenever you leave, I'll let you rent this place, if you pay for power, heat and water," | |||
the owner offered. | |||
Maril didn't know too much about business, but his gut told him that wasn't a | |||
good deal. "I will pay for power, heat and water, if you lower it to 450 birads right now, | |||
and 1800 birads later." | |||
The owner contemplated that for a moment, then said, "Fine. But give me the | |||
450 right now." | |||
And then Maril went through all the procedures, and finally Maril and | |||
McStirens were in the house. Maril pulled out a small short-range subspace | |||
transceiver. The implants in the team members' ears received communications on the | |||
frequency used by the transceiver, and so they could communicate. | |||
"Maril to settlement team members. We are situated at 88 Sikia Way in the East | |||
Central section of the city. Remember to be here at 2200 hours. Maril out." | |||
MD 3.2200<br> | |||
EI Ring:N-L settlement:88 Sikia Way: Living Room<br> | |||
All ten members of the team were sitting in the room, and so Maril began. | |||
"Now, who would like to report first?" | |||
The sun has met the sea,<br> | |||

Well, let's see what happens. :)<br> | |||
