(Shannon raises her hand)

Nora- Shannon

Shannon- What does that mean?

Nora- To be honest I am not entirely sure but due to the nature of O-41 this can’t be dismissed as mere jargon from them

Gennady- If it is as important as you make it out to be, shouldn't we take measures to decipher it?

Nora- Yes, and that’s what I’m going to attempt to do

Jacob- Then why have you called us here?

Nora- In order to warn you of this because I believe this as a premonition of something to come, something rather grand in scale, something that could top the “Phoenix Incident”

(Everyone stiffens up at the mention of that event with the whole room getting quiet as they take in those words)

Nora- *getting up* Now that that is settled I wish you all happy hunting, you are dismissed

(Nora and Alicia leave)

/////////////The Enterprise\\\\\\\\\\\\\

(Nora makes her way down the hall with Alicia on her tail)

Alicia- Do you really think what they said could be that bad?

Nora- Like I said during the meeting I’m not entirely sure as there isn’t enough present data to go off of but it would be stupid to not take it seriously

Alicia- Yes, of course so how will we act on this?

Nora- Like I said before, I’m going to attempt to decipher this message of theirs into something more substantial, I almost get the feeling you don’t listen during the meetings

(Alicia is embarrassed at being called out)

Alicia- *composing herself* Um, of course I do I just wanted to make sure y’know

(Nora doesn’t respond as they just make their way down the hall nora then stops)

Nora- Make sure to stay close to me

Alicia- *understanding the situation* Yes ma’am

(Nora then shifts the surrounding building into a staircase that leads her all the way down to Sector 7. They walk for a bit until they get to O-41’s cell and walk in)

[A/N: BB = BlackBird/ WB = Whitebird]

WB- It looks like the “Positive” has come to talk with us lowlifes?

BB- So it would seem

Nora- Hello gentlemen

WB- Wanna join?

Nora- Yes

BB- Then do try to keep up

WB- The tulips in Mrs. Wagner’s garden are looking very healthy today

BB- Yes they are but I fancy the Roses more, such elegant hue of pink to them without spilling much into red

Nora- I’m not really a fan of flowers

WB- She’s gonna need to take care em they’re delicate after all

BB- Agreed

(Nora says nothing)

WB- Delicate flowers always a pain to take care of why not just do something more fun

BB- Many have their own aspirations and hobbies that they find enjoyable whatever those reasons are I meagerly care but it is important to at least acknowledge those aspirations, no matter how useless they are

Nora- I disagree

WB- Same here, why not do something more worth your time there's no reason to both with something that lackluster

BB- Not as lackluster as that Hollander movie that came out recently, a ghastly picture show honestly

Nora- I haven’t seen it

WB- It’s quite popular for how bad it is no one really likes it so they just hound it for their own pleasure, but I’d say a petter showing would be the Burlesque showings of Eveline Power

BB- I concur she is quite the star I have always wondered why she never did movies

(Nora says nothing and the room randomly goes quiet and then WB gets out of his chair)

WB- I’ll get me some coffee *looks back towards BB and Nora* Would you like some?

BB- Yes, white coffee, 13 sugars

Nora- Espresso with 1 sugar

WB- Coming up

(The room is eerily quiet with the just the sound of coffee utensils clinking together)

BB- The way one enjoys their coffee can tell a lot about that person

WB- Take my coffee, I like it black, the plainess is just what I need nothing extra or complicated just straight coffee

BB- Or take mine for example, I favor mine white with 13 sugars, it’s nice and sweet making the day feel jovial with the right amount of elegance to balance it out

Nora- Then what would you say about mine

WB- Your choice of espresso means you like the minimal things of this world something like a neutral feeling

BB- But the quaint bit of extra sugar emanates a sort of “positive” feeling of you

Nora- And what of those who don’t like coffee

WB- Then we just go off of what else they drink

(WB comes back to the chairs with 2 coffee cups on coasters in his hands)

BB- Much obliged

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Nora- Thank you

(WB goes back to get his coffee and sits down with them and takes a sip)

Alicia- *in head* How do they drink?

WB- *setting the cup down* Did you know that the total amount of blood vessels in the human body can wrap around the earth 2.5 times?

BB- Yes, actually it's quite marvelous how that is

Nora- Agreed

WB- Those same blood vessels are not even that big just look at the capillaries

BB- I agree, although it is sad since many diseases can take over those precious vessels like any other part of the body

WB- I hear ya, since Mr. Vitali has been suffering from Peripheral artery disease it’s been hard for him to return to work

BB- Unfortunate, they were just about to work on that new anomalous object

(Nora and Alicia take note of this)

Nora- What kind of object

WB- Oh, just a pair of gloves that can augment a person behavior, nothing too crazy

Nora- Alicia, document this down

Alicia- Yes ma’am

BB- Truly it's not as terrible as the event that will happen in Houston, Texas

(Alicia is unnerved by this while Nora merely listens to their talk)

Nora- Is it anything I need to worry about

WB- Not really but I’d recommend someone strong

Nora- Alicia, call Jacob and have him keep watch over the area

Alicia- Yes ma’am *makes a phone call*

Nora- I have a question for both of you, on your premonition from 3 months back

BB- And what exactly is this “premonition”?

Nora- Alicia play the clip

(Aicia plays the tape for them. Both of the birds sit in silence)

Nora- Anything to say

(The birds drink their coffee in unison)

BB- Paul is a kind fellow for help Mrs. Amani

WB- I agree he’s been a changed man after his heart surgery

BB- Dr. Brenda is a very skilled surgeon-

Nora- Answer me

WB- I agree she’s really good but maybe she could be more organized

BB- Her desk is quite the conundrum

Nora- I’ll ask one more time what does the premonition mean

(The tension in the room escalates as both birds become silent again. Alicia holds her breath and Nora inquisitively stares at both of the birds)

WB- I think you should be more worried about Houston, Texas for now

BB- Your answers will come in due time

WB- Patience is the key

BB- All you have to do is wait

(Nora then gets up out of her seat)

Nora- Alicia…

(Alicia finally exhales after realizing she was holding her breath for that whole time)

Nora- Were done here

(Nora walks out of the room with Alicia following behind)

WB- She’s always so pushy

BB- May need to get that temper checked honestly *sips coffee*

(Nora and Alicia are walking down the Sector)

Alicia- Um…I’m guessing we're gonna have to wait until we find out about that warning then?

Nora- …Yes, so for now The Enterprise will continue to work as it has been and when any events that coincide with that premonition occur, they are to be secured under chief clearance authority until further examining is done

Alicia- Yes ma’am

(They walk for a bit more with Nora shifting the building a little to get to their destination faster)

Nora- You called Jacob

Alicia- Yes ma’am, he said he would be on his way immediately

Nora- Good, we cannot afford any more cataclysmic events, literally

(Alicia remembers the complaints she looked at for the financial division)

Alicia- Agreed-

(Alicia gets call on her phone)

(The scene cut over to Jacob, Sara and Natalie being on the Metrinite Train. Sara is staring out the window, Natalie is playing with her electricity and Jacob is napping)

Natalie- *excited* Ah wonder whut way’re fitein' tuhday, more weird dogs maeybe? (I wonder what we’re fighting today, more weird dogs maybe?)

Sara- I don’t know girl, I can never tell with this guy *gestures to Jacob*

(Natalie then gets an idea and makes her way over to Jacob charging up her hands like defibrillators as she gets ready to shock)

Jacob- You do that and I break your finger

(Natalie immediately went back to her spot and didn’t say another word)

Natalie- *playfully whispers* Cranky

Sara- Uh sure…

(Sara turns around and gets slightly shocked by Natalie)

Sara- Ow, what the f- hey!

Natalie- *picking her ear/smiling* Wuzzn’ me

(Sara just grumbles and walks to another seat away from Natalie. The train ride is over soon and they all get off of the train with Sara feeling a little PTSD from the sandy desert air)

Sara- *in head* Reminds me of then *remembers the D-15 excursion*

Jacob- Lets go

(Natalie flips off the platform to the ground)

Natalie- C’mon slowpokes

Jacob- Natalie don’t go far

(Sara just meanders on through as they reach the streets of Houston with many people being surprised by their presence and Natalie being overly excited to be outside of The Enterprise)

Natalie- Ah can’t evun remember how long its been since Ah’ve been outside, uh lot hotter than Ah remember (I can’t even remember how long its been since I’ve been outside, a lot hotter than I remember)

Sara- Could you please give me an answer as to why we're here again

Jacob- I was asked by Alicia to watch over this place; she told me something bad might happen here soon, so I’m just keeping watch

Sara- So were just chillin’ out here? Then what are we supposed to do in the meantime?

(Natalie wanders off a bit and one person comes up to her)

?- Can I take a picture with you?

Natalie- *playfully shrugging* Sure, why not?

(Natalie and the person take a snapshot together and Natalie shocks them a little)

?- Ow, what the hell?

Natalie- Wuzzn’ me

(The person now weirded out leaves, Jacob and sara finally catch up)

Jacob- Natalie, what did I say about running off?

Natalie- Uh, not tuh go too far?

Jacob- Yes, now c’mon

(Jacob and co walk around taking glances at the scenery and the sights of the city)

Jacob- *to Sara* Never been to Houston before?

Sara- Yeah, I’ve been during my stint with…the cartels

Jacob- *looking at the scenery* That makes sense, what was it like?

Sara- I’d rather not talk about it

Jacob- *looking around at everything while keeping Natalie from going too far* I’m guessing it was real bad, wasn’t it?

Sara- It was

Natalie- With how you make it sound, makes me wanna meet these people

Sara- Trust me, you don’t

Jacob- Anyway let's make sure the area is clear before-

(A giant explosion appears in the distance as a few building get destroyed and people start screaming and running)

Jacob- It looks like that's it

(Jacob then grabs Natalie and Sara in a football carry)

Sara- What the f-

Jacob- Let’s go

(Jacob then jumps into the sky towards the explosion)

Natalie- *cheering* WOOOOOOO

Sara- WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH

(When they get near the site there's a giant crater in the middle of it. They land with a large thud as Sara takes a moment to keep her lunch from returning)

Sara- Please…warn me next time…jackass

Jacob- Sure

(Natalie goes off first towards the larger crater and spot something)

Natalie- *smiling* Yo, check it!

(Natalie points at a figure walking up to them)
