[h2]Tinker’s strange day[/h2][/center]

When Tinker asked about Summer and Jain a tall Carrot topped young trooper ofered to take her direct to the boss as he called her.

It wasn’t long before Tinker found herself outside of the Riverboat that was docked near the Grainary that made the tallest structure in town. The trooper opened the door to a deck room where the mayor of Arlington sat with a tall pretty redhead whose eyes were green and strangely calm.

The trooper didn’t just leave her and stood with her as the Mayor and a woman obviously his boss.

[color=seagreen]Lorna I tell you it will be here this afternoon, and actual train and they are bringing a squad of engineers, doctors and the Teamsters here to negotiate trade in grain, cattle, salvage, and power. It’s run off of natural gas and your town is one of the first to be contacted on the line partly because you sit on the junction and the other because it would be rude to motor through without stopping by[/color] says Jain before taking a sip of the local wheat beer.

The older Lorna mayor of Arlington can only blink as if she’s being told they’ll fly in on elephant wings till she regains her composure.

[b]And your people say if we allow you to take the Riverboat you’ll electrify the town put lights and even a community hot water bath an washing machine house in along with electric stoves. Teachers and a fire fighters setup?[/b] she says as if out of breath

[color=seagreen]We believe in keeping as far ahead of falling back into the stone or iron age as we can manage. And that includes all humanity as wants to keep their humanity; “The more hands we got on a problem the more we can be sure it will be solved.”

I’m not here to preach to you Lorna, that’s Petra Wintergarden’s pleasure and your’s to listen to if you want or not. No I’m just a Scout wantin to see what’s still out there. I got involved in your fight because we don’t stand by as animals that walk like men have their way; make of that what you like. 

I’d love to see your town become part of our expanding community and could bend you ear for days on how good the people of Lasthope are but it seems my other appointment has popped up[/color]

Lorna turns and recognizes Tinker and has to suppress a smile as she considers the odd fixer following the Troopers, then she gets thoughtful remembering all the tech marvel the Troopers have...hell last night she talked on a phone for the first time in over 12 years. No wonder the little tech head wanted to go there.

She stood and smiled at Tinker before shaking Jain’s hand in farewell and asking the commander take good care of Tinker.

Once the mayor has left Jain makes a subtle motion and the trooper leaves.

After the door closes and they are both left alone Jain smiles looking Tinker up and down 

[color=seagreen]Well Summer said you were cute and she was right; do you like dressing like a boy and do you bind your boobs down so it's hard to breath under certain conditions

I know such personal questions
[/color] Jain chuckles briefly

[color=seagreen]You can dress any way you like but please don’t dress because you are afraid; women have nothing to fear in regards to their sex in Lasthope.

Also about the breathing...I mean it; can’t have your clothes making you slower than you are.

You want to come along I’m good with that; might as well.

We feed good in my command and we all do our share of the work as is our skill or capabilities and you being a tech are a support position less you prove your military skill.

We have rules and we should follow them as these rules are there to keep us breathing and the rizen down; we all know these rules and we will teach you.

I’m going to assign you to the Teamsters under Petra who you’ll find a strange mix of culture and farmhand.

Any Questions?[/color]
