In mayor Christner's office.
"Roy… she hasn't left yet,"
"You're kidding right?" Roy asks peeking out of the door.
That woman had been here the entire day just sitting in the lobby.
"What does she want?" Roy asks
"To speak with you. Though she's obviously a cape with her eyes like that. I mean who has blue and yellow eyes,"
"Okay, I'm going to give someone a call. Give it 30 minutes then send her in." Roy Christner says
The secretary nods before going back out into the lobby to talk to the cape.
Roy picks up the phone on his desk dialing a number.
"Hey, Rory. I need you here at the office. Something came up cape business," Roy says
"Yeah, don't panic nothing big has happened yet. She's holding a stack of paperwork and has been waiting most of the day," Roy says
"No no, I just want you here just in case… Right thanks son," Roy says putting the phone back on its dock.
=================
Georgia meanwhile has been waiting in the town hall for most of the day. Fiddling about with her smartphone.
"Number man was easier to contact than I thought, That and the channel Earth Arche on Tubeyou is a massive hit… Like I feel bad but this world doesn't have sabaton or Eurobeat. I mean I am glad I can share it with them all. It's almost like not having the beetles." Georgia says to herself
"I mean Switzerland was hit hard by Simurgh, who even knows if this world's version of the band is still alive…" Georgia says sadly
"Hey!"
'WHAT!' Georgia shouts at her crew straining to not shout out loud
"Hey…"
'What do you mean we have nuclear shell plans!' Georgia says in shock
"Hey!"
'My guns are 18inch, not 16inch! Those won't work to mention it's not like I can just go and get fissile material.' Georgia tells her crew.
"Hey!"
'Oh? You are telling me there are enough nuclear engineers on board to safely modify the plans?' Georgia asks rhetorically
"Hey"
She goes silent not expecting a yes.
The conversation was about to go into full-back and forth when suddenly the phone at the receptionist's desk rings.
The woman at the desk picks it up before looking over at Georgia.
"The Mayor is ready to see you. Next time please do schedule an appointment,"
"Right, thank you for fitting me in last minute like this," Georgia says walking into the office.
"Miss a Beryl, I am Roy Christner it is a pleasure to meet you. So what is the purpose of our meeting today?" Roy asks
"Right, so. I wanted to meet you to discuss some stuff both business and personal. Then, Danny Hebert, my boss gave me some paperwork to give you," Georgia says setting the paperwork down on the desk.
"Personal?" Rory asks
"Oh? Hi, Triumph I didn't see you there. So for the personal one. Your niece triggered, and with all the hospital visits for her headache's she's caught the eye of a dangerous thinker." Georgia says
"Go! I'll be fine." Roy says looking at his son who immediately leaves to go check on his cousin.
"Okay… well thank you for that. Now the business?" Roy asks
"I wanted to introduce myself, I am Georgia Beryl. Founder of the Brockton Bay Naval Museum nonprofit. Although we are still preparing the area for the ships. I wanted to get this meeting out of the way," Georgia says
"You mentioned that Mr. Hebert was your boss?" Roy asks
"Yes, they hired me considering my expertise in advertisement and customer service. Along with my skill in ship repair and restoration," Georgia says with a smile.

"We are getting a museum? I mean the last one was robbed way back when marquis was fighting off the teeth. It would be nice to have an area for tourists besides the boardwalk." Roy says
"Yes, I already have 4 ships lined up for it I could also probably fit in 3 more. I plan on turning the old naval yard into something that could rival the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum," Georgia says with a smile.
Roy looks at the woman in front of him skeptically.
"The one in Virginia, not the one in the capital," Georgia says with a smile
"That is going to be a massive undertaking you know," Roy says
"I'll make it work. If the gangs do something I'll hit them with my Georgia beam," Georgia says with a bright smile.
"Right, well you have my blessing with this."
"Really! Okay, I can't wait till I can hold the opening banquet. I will get back to you in about 2 months." Georgia says holding out her hand.
"2 months? You aren't here to see if you can get money from the city?" Roy asks
"Ah, you know the Earth Arche tubeyou channel? That's me, so money isn't exactly tight, not to mention I have a cape helping me and she can restore ships by basically touching them." Georgia admits.
"That's all you came here for?" Roy asks
"Was your niece not that important?" Georgia asks
"That is not what I said and you know it!" Roy shouts having forgotten about that part with the amount of information that Georgia just gave him.
"Do you have the contact info for the convention and visitors bureau while I'm here?" Georgia asks
"Yeah, it's actually part of my administration since it hasn't split off from the town hall like the ones in the bigger cities," Roy says pulling out a business card.
"Who runs it?" Georgia asks taking the card.
"Jasmine Higgins, she actually moved from Lousiana after New Orleans flooded," Roy Christner says
'I need to research leviathan's damage later. I am a little scared to look it up though,' Georgia thinks
"I think we'll be great friends," Georgia says with a smile
"I should get home. Rory already should be there with my niece," Roy says
"You do that, honestly I wouldn't have blamed ya if you left when I told you about her. Family always comes first in my book," Georgia says
===================
Georgia sitting in her car in the parking lot by town hall very quickly searches for information on Florida.
"Miami is underwater? No, that can't be right, Clearwater washed away…" Georgia mutters horrified.
August 2005 Leviathan took a path through the Gulf of Mexico to hit Panama The tsunamis he caused paralyzed several cities flooding several parts of all the Gulf coast states. It was the first time since Behemoth appeared that an end bringer attacked twice in a row. Panama is still partially underwater with the Panama canal permanently destroyed.
"That date… It matches Hurricane Katrina, did they not have the hurricane here?" Georgia mutters
Georgia throws her phone onto the passenger seat not wanting to see anymore. Looking at all the disasters photos just reminds Georgia of the super hurricanes of the 2050s.
"Right, let's go do something to distract myself… Don't think about home, home is okay. This Florida isn't home," Georgia says starting the car.
Georgia puts her shaking hands on the wheels and gear shifter. Putting the car into first she drives off in the direction of the Board Walk.
