We’re to deliver a small package of food to a science station on Ezra and 200 tons of medicine to the town of Armero for the Purple Heart (the 26th century version of the Red Cross). The stipulations for the meds are odd and time consuming. The meds must be distributed in person and the recipient must be thumbprinted to verify delivery. There can only be one packet per recipient. No exceptions. The exacting paperwork is the reason this job has been hard to hire out—no one wants the heartburn.<br><br> | We’re to deliver a small package of food to a science station on Ezra and 200 tons of medicine to the town of Armero for the Purple Heart (the 26th century version of the Red Cross).

It’s Racy, looking to start up a taxi company of her own, trawling the used vehicle sites for prospects. Of the possible locations to set up business, Boros looks good to her. Hera or Athens look promising too. Hera and Athens are places on the JJB list we haven’t visited yet, or Kerry, and we’re amenable to taking her to any of those places if she wants to do a little site scouting while we investigate the list.<br><br> |

Rina coaxes more power out of our girl and Nika puts us on a right angle path to the cloud, hoping to get out of range of its coverage area instead of outrunning its speed. Based on Kiera’s description, White River is down stream of all this chaos. If she doesn’t get there in time, everyone will be swallowed up by the cloud. She opens a comm channel and starts broadcasting her arrival. If Joshua gets enough warning he might have everything ready for her to grab him and go.<br><br> | Rina coaxes more power out of our girl and Nika puts us on a right angle path to the cloud, hoping to get out of range of its coverage area instead of outrunning its speed.

Looking over his shoulder, he can’t see the cloud but he knows it is coming. He won’t have much time. He decides to Read the leader as he approaches the man, the better to find a way to convince him to evacuate.<br><br> |
