New Generation Legacy, Issue 2: A New day arrives

[Shalimar]

"Your in charge of us? what did you do to end up riding herd on such a bunch of Gits Ma'am? Pee in the head's cornflakes?" Clover asks, her green eyes sparkling and her British accent really coming out, perhaps a touch over exxagerated. She wasn't going to be the one to turn in Trilly, or the others if it meant getting Trilly in trouble, not that she wished them any wrong for their ownselves.

"Good evening Professor Walsh," Keller chimes. "Err, morning. Sorry."

"I saw Yoshi and Jerry in cafeteria earlier, they can't be too far. Maybe one of them dropped their books and the others are helping out." Well, they're most likely still on earth someplace - I don't think that Yoshi could run in space. It's all relative, right?

 

[Hammerhead]

Emmet rolled his eyes. Given the previous comments and Nick's quick answer to his inquiry, the situation was obvious. "Miss Kim, why not direct your inquiries to the artificial intelligence program. That would be the ideal way to locate Trilly, Yoshi, and Jerry," he suggests. Are they actually skipping the first day? Unbelievable. I may as well hurry events on to their natural conclusion.

Wherever they are, I hope they are keeping a low profile with their abilities. It is only two days since the attack. Surely whoever assaulted us could not plan another kidnapping so quickly.

In Class

"I actually requested to lead this class, Clover. Believe it or not but you all will make great strides on this planet and the world will be changed because of it, the question is are those changes going to be for the betterment of mankind as a whole or the opposite." Jun min responds to your question. "Your the first students to attend this school, you will be watched and scrutinized, every action you do outside these grounds will be analyzed and picked apart not by the UN but by the tabloids, other countries and various organizations. Some will want you to succeed... others will not." Jun Min pauses for a few moments to let the information hit home.

Professor Walsh continues on "Some of the staff didn't think we should have informed you of these things but we," he says gesturing to Jun Min, "believe you are all old enough to understand the implications of what is going on."

"I could do that Emmet but I was hoping that someone here could inform me about where they might be, what about you John? do you know where they are?" Jun Min says as she sits on the corner of her desk.

"I can rightly say that I don't know where they are right at this moment maam." He replies after a moments hesitation.

"Of course not, anyone else?" She replies, she waits for a minute before standing up. "Well, it looks like I will have to look for our lost students on my own. It looks like you will have to take it from here Mr. Walsh

He nods to her as she leaves by the same door they both came in.

"Now students in case you didn't realize it you are sitting at the most advanced communications/information displays ever to be built. You will notice that you have no actual text books, that is because any information you will need can be found at your desk. Once you have logged in with a retinal scan, you will be able to access all of Amy's informational databases, as well as go on the internet, but please no surfing while I am talking. The desks include microphones and web cameras allowing online conferences. Each desk can also produce limited three dimensional shapes and graphs." Mr. Walsh exclaims proudly.

"Are there any questions?"

If there are any questions feel free if not I will move this onto lunch

At the beach

Yoshi shakes his head to clear out the cobwebs. "Nah, I'm ok. The beach is softer then it looks, though I swear it felt like I was tripped," he pauses for a moment before shrugging his shoulders. "So anyone else have any other suggestions?"

The rest of the morning is spent enjoying yourself how ever you want to do it, whether its swimming, surfing, any other the numerous actives that are going on or just lying the beach sun tanning.

But like all good things, even this must come to a close. Just as you are finishing a very nice lunch an older man approaches the three of you wearing a three piece business suit.

"Excuse me, are you Trilly, Jerry and Yoshi?" He says flashing a very official looking police identification.

"Might be, what's it to you?" Yoshi replies calmly.

"My name is detective Jackson. I am here on behalf of the institute, I am here to escort you back to school." He looks less then impressed to be here.

Yoshi looks over at the two of you to see what you think.

Couldn't last.

"G'day. I'm Jerry," Jerry admitted, dripping wet and not especially guiltily. "Guess we're busted."

 

[Hammerhead]

Hmm. I suppose that Jun Min is searching for collaborators rather than the missing students themselves. She might already know their location. That is comforting; I hope Miss Kim can respond quickly. The attack of last Sunday is still fresh in my mind, and I would hate for anyone to be endangered by their irresponsibility.

Emmet raises his hand eagerly. "Actually, Mr. Walsh, I do indeed have a question. My own terminal seems to be more complicated than my fellow students. What is its use?"

 

[Victim]

Yay for you. You bought us a bunch of overcomplicated computer toys. Keller stifles a yawn. And wow, over dramatic much? I went pretty much all summer without any huge deal.

(Ready to move on.)

"Do those other staff members think we are 2 years old and have no understanding of the world or were they all just dropped on their heads when they were in the ankle biter stage?" Clover asks.

Wonder if she actually reads people's thoughts actively? Well...here goes, it should totally tell me, and might just squick her out. Too put it as that Yank song dad always listened to...Got it made got it made got it made, I'm hot for teacher. Not that Trilly isn't a very well put together girl...but Jun Min is a teacher, and a woman...rowr. she thought, her eyes twinkling as she wondered what Jun Min's reaction would be, it wasn't actually serious at all, yes she was attractive but it would bring shame and embarresment to her, her family, Jun Min, the UN so it wasn't ever on the table, just really a test to see where Jun Min drew the lines that she seemed to want to blur soo much by being friendly.

At the beach

"You could say that." The officer replies, "at the request of your school we have had a dozen people looking discreetly for you, people that could have been working on real cases. Follow me please."

He leads you all to a non-descript black van."Get in and I will take you back to your school." He says opening the side door.

School

"Glad you asked Emmet, since your elite abilities have increased your mental skills we realized that no one teacher would ever be able to keep up with you, so instead of isolating you in your educational learning as it were, the screens in front of you can connect to various education conferences that you can join, the screens can be divided so you can join multiple sessions at once. This way you can challenge yourself and still be part of the school environment."

"These sessions are ongoing so anyone may join as well." Mr. Walsh adds to the rest of the class.

"You are still all technically underage. Clover," He continues turning to face the red head. "And as such, some people don't think that you should be burdened with such responsibility."

You get no reaction that you can see from Jun Min but Layla perks her head up suddenly and gives you a weird look. "Sorry, didn't mean to do that." she tells me mentally, "Its not that easy to control at times."

Now if there is no more questions lets start shall we...

The rest of the morning goes either quickly or slowly depending on your point of view as does lunch, soon enough its time for the power training course. Amy gives you all instruction to meet Jun Min at a certain location in the school in a section that you haven't been to before. Once you have all gathered Jun Min arrives with a big smile on her face.

"I hope everyone has been having a good day, this is as you know power training. It is here that we will hone your abilities so you can be an asset to your fellow man."

She turns to a pad on the wall next to the doors and enters in a code as well as giving a retinal and finger print scan. "It was decided that due to the various elite natures that this section be closed off and monitored at all times, each of you will have access to this place by the end of the day.

The doors slide open to reveal an elevator, once you are all in Jun Min presses the lower of two buttons and you start your decent.

"This is also a place that we hope to learn more about your elite ablities, and as such you will be required to wear special outfits that will monitor your biorhythms. Think of it as your work out clothes."

The elevator comes to a stop and the doors open revealing a short hall way ending in what looks like a glass wall. Beyond the wall looks like a vast underground complex, containing of every kind of work out equipment you have ever seen as well as some you haven't before. Leading up to the wall on either side is a door, each door is marked with a small man or woman symbol, obviously the change rooms.

"Before we go in and change are there any questions?"

 

[Victim]

"Yeah, why is everything here retinal scans and stuff?" Keller says, heading towards the changing room door.
