Tales of the Courier – Better the signs find the road
The ride barrels down the highway at blistering speeds. 1courier is convinced they are going to be late. The ride is convinced otherwise. They have been back and forth on this issue. At least since they left the way station earlier. 1courier slows the ride for the turn ahead. Almost immediately the ride changes its mind, and speeds up again.
And so it had gone for most of the afternoon. It was heightened by the fact he couldn’t turn it off. Now he gets an image of an old earth energizer bunny. 1courier looks at the time, and sees it’s still early in the day. It was still going to be a while before they got back to HQ.
Tales of the Courier
With this in mind, 1courier floors the ride. Time to have some fun. The ride continues down the road. At the same speed. Now the m-com link flashes and 1courier almost breaks it in his hurry to answer the call. Furthermore, HQ has a special request for them on their way back.
1courier is certain he’s seen this location before, but can’t remember exactly where. Nevertheless it’s on their return route. Additionally, it is on the way to HQ. How bad could it be? He realizes he let the thought slip free before cloaking it. Within moments his mind is flooded with thoughts of paper cuts and yelling bosses.
1courier grins at the fiasco that lies ahead for them at HQ. However, he is curious about this pickup and why it is so urgent. Furthermore, now he sees images of firetrucks in his mind, as they careen down the highway. He imagines back some whiskey bottles and a moonshine jug.
The ride honks the horn. Similarly they are almost to the pickup. It will have to be a fast pickup. However, there are two packages this time. Once again 1courier is surprised. In fact, he has images of birthday cakes in his mind. He sends images of an assembly line and a lot full of new cars.
Better the signs
His mind gets an image of two hands shaking each other, in the traditional western greeting from old earth. Now it felt as though they were on the same page, as they pulled into the way station. 1courier pulls the ride up to the fueling station and sends the thought of two friends working closely together.
The images that return to 1courier are of sunny afternoons and picnics in the park. He grins as he steps out of the ride to go get the pickup. The door of the ride takes an extra swing, striking him squarely on the ass. 1courier tumbles head first into the parking lot, as the ride burns rubber, and takes off. The m-com link flashes. 1courier sits up and watches the ride drive away.
