Tales of the Courier – The better dispatch note
The road is not hidden. It is adjusted. There are only certain parts of the spectrum visible on Nalphia. The way the twin suns of the day also alter the spectrum of the night. The effect was noticeable in the daylight hours but unpredictable in the nighttime.
However 1courier was not a scientist and he didn’t know all the technical aspects of the place. He only knew the road was open, and it raced off into the distance ahead. 1courier floors the pedal. And the ride jumps forward and chews up the road in earnest. 1courier grins. He will be at the dispatch board soon.
With this in mind, it is a good time to place a limit on his sidehustle tonight. Furthermore it is only a break from HQ. Indeed the m-com link is likely to fire at a moment’s notice. Therefore he wouldn’t have long to treasure hunt.

The illuminated road is leading off into the distance, however the destination is just a block away. The dispatch board is always at the nexus of several illuminated roads. The jobs listed will provide some busy work while the stage is set for the show. He grins. Everyone loves a good show.
Within minutes he is at the intersection. The absence of traffic has left it deserted. Furthermore, it is apparent there have been recent visitors. On the dispatch board are several dispatch notes. Therefore, he begins to look them over, when something near the bottom of the board, catches his eye.
The note is short but held in place by some kind of metal coin. 1courier snaps the coin free and releases the note. All the other notes on the board snap outward, then disappear. 1courier blinks. He is certain it is more than coincidence, however it cannot possibly be a setup.
Things like that only happen in fairy tales, of the old days. Or on TV. Occasionally a blogger will set something up, but this just didn’t have that kind of feel to it. Therefore 1courier tries to isolate what has him feeling perplexed. It wasn’t the trap. Indeed, everyone knew it was a trap. Maybe it was the loss of all the other tags. Some of those had looked like they might be lucrative.

Back behind the wheel 1courier is about to put the hammer down and scorch some road. He starts the ride and hears the strange coin in his hand pop and crackle like lightning. Furthermore the m-com link has just fired up. Now things are getting interesting. He opens the m-com link as the strange coin in his hand continues to sizzle.
There is a loud pop and a bolt of brightly lit electric heat strikes the inside of the vehicle. The doors pop outward, completely blown off their hinges. Likewise, a courier launches on an impressive acrobatic performance. Just before landing hard almost fifty feet away.
The m-com link lands next to him with a thump, as he tries to sit up. 1courier grimaces as he tries to catch his breath. The message is from HQ. And it reads, could be a trap, heads up. He grins, and passes out.
