Endor: episode #8 The meeting in progress
The Great Race has just ended, if you will remember, Jed being the champion because Walker was forced out of the race...Sky has just reminded everyone of the meeting. Now let the story begin! This is Endor, part 8. “I just don’t understand it. I even checked the ship last night and there was nothing wrong with it!” Walker says. Sky shook her head and said, “Isn’t it about time for the meeting?” With that last sentence said then, a bunch of “oh yeahs” and they headed for the meeting hut. Now Walker was top notch in charge of the trip. Jed fell under next, then Sky. I was in charge of the weapons. Now, I have not named to you all involved in the trip, I cannot. But just know it is a whole ton of people. Besides Jed, I , Sky, Id, Walker, and Iot, some of the other people are as follows: Sian, Cor, Org, Fe, Binder, Itch, So, Stu, Rey, and Vey are other guys. Calris, Ta, Gana, Ett, Spell, Kri, Lo, Pid, Nolds, and Har are the others. The ones that are in love with each other are in the same order. Example: Cor and Ta are in love. Got all that? Anyway, Walker went to the front of the room by the tree-cut podium. He waited a few minutes before starting. That was to give everyone enough time to get there so they wouldn’t miss a second of it! Shortly, all was present, except Jed. No one noticed Jed was missing, at first. Jed had predicted right after he had won the race that the trip would in fact be the next day. He reasoned ahead of schedule (by a week and two days.) So, he slowly slipped away from the crowd and went over to the ship. He hadn’t thought anyone would even notice. Back to the meeting that is now just on the verge of starting. Walker clears his throat and says, “May I have your attention, please.” Just as he says this, there is total silence, except for the sound of his voice. “That’s better. Folks, as you know, we are gathered for the purpose of deciding when to leave. Now, last meeting we had decided on a month later, at that time. That day is a week and two days away. Id and Iot, the weather experts, as you well know, have informed me that that is not a good time and that tomorrow was the best.” Discussion among those present arose. After it died down, Walker continued, “Id and Iot please come and present your report.” Id and Iot looked at each other and looked pleased. They walked up to the head of the floor. Iot said, “Okay guys, Id and I have watched the weather for year. We’ve studied it, as you all well know. We’ve seen the weather before us at hand in the past. We know what will happen. Remember what happened five years ago?” The audience nodded, remembering that awful year. The year the storms brow around them for months. No ships could come and bring them supplies. They had almost died that year. Id continued Iot’s speech. “Well, it’s going to happen again, and if we don’t leave tomorrow, we’ll be stuck here forever. Tomorrow’s going to be the best day for weeks. It’s now or never.” With that Id and Iot sat down. The audience nodded. All but one. Until next time!
