Grrr...

This Westport stuff is a real thorn in my side. Do they have my little sister or don't they? We can't go there, but even if it's real and they opened it up to us later, it would probably be a trap. I remember the last time they talked about it.

I've been thinking though. Supposedly, Westport would be nothing but drones, right? And the ones

[The Major, Dok, and Schrodinger were on that TV--Even that Butler.--So don't mind not!dad being a little on edge today, not!son. Or for the rest of the week. He may or may not want to get into Westport and take his alpha back.]

[stay_cool_bro]

[Yeah, he does look edgy. Hmmm.]

Hey, Captain! Did you see somebody you knew, too?

[crunchitize_me]

[tapping

the tv

when the same news broadcast comes up again. He's more or less tapping where the Major is, the fat slob.]

[stay_cool_bro]

That guy? [he peers.] Kinda chubby and creepy... you guys work together or something?

[since he doesn't look like a relative.]

[angelic_meister]

It might work. I've seen sillier-sounding plans work fine. It couldn't hurt to try, right?

[stay_cool_bro]

That's right. We're not going to get in trouble for asking someone to walk down a street.

[angelic_meister]

Right! All we need to do is put together a message and trick a drone into trying to leave Mayfield.

[stay_cool_bro]

Well assuming they can go outside... If they all think there's a Westport, we could convince the drone to go there for something or other. Then, if it does exist, we can find out if there's anyone there that's like us, and if it doesn't exist, then who knows where they'll go? Maybe they'll just keep on going.

The message might take some work though.

...Dumb idiot.

Stupid spirit lost head again.

[stay_cool_bro]

You're the dumb one. I told you she was brainwashed!

[handsoffmychips]

You're the one who thinks "Kick me" sign is good idea. No, stupid spirit regained brain and lost it again.

[stay_cool_bro]

It IS a good idea!

[return_my_rice]

I don't know. I'd feel kinda bad about doing that, even to a drone.

And I've been meaning to ask. I hope I don't sound too rude, but what is Kororo, exactly?

[stay_cool_bro]

Why's that? Do you think it'd cause them trouble?

Oh, Kororo? She's a Koro-pokkuru. They're nature spirits from back home, they're usually really helpful and peaceful. Long ago, they taught my ancestors how to hunt and fish.

[return_my_rice]

Yeah, kinda. I mean, I know they're not real humans, but still, I don't like the idea of getting them lost.

Oh, huh. We didn't have anything like that back where I come from. At least, that no one ever saw.

[stay_cool_bro]

Hm... I didn't think about that.

Nothing even similar? Maybe you just couldn't see them, then. Not everyone can see Kororo, even where I come from.

[izlegal]

It may be worth a try.

[stay_cool_bro]

Hey, you think so too? Great!

[izlegal]

Perhaps it would be a way for us to bypass the system as well... holding their arm as they pass through...

[stay_cool_bro]

Really? Could be... but.

We'd all kick ourselves if it was that simple!
