Tales of the Courier – This cargo ain’t right
It was the last thing 1courier wanted to hear. However, the words echo through his mind. He turns, and readjusts his seating. The dinosaur is moving rapidly, and he needs to pay close attention. As his concentration narrows on the cactus ahead, he focuses all his anticipation on the right moment. The intensity is palpable. He watches closely and hears it again, “This Cargo Ain’t Right!”
The dinosaur trips and falls. The cactus slams into the dinosaur, and it’s game over. 1courier curses, and rolls his eyes. He was so close that time. The distraction is now causing stress, he grins, it must be a delivery. As he sits and focuses on his rue, his mind travels back over the events that got him stuck, in this limbo. Is it possible he missed something?
Tales of the Courier
1courier grins, he was missing something alright, but it wasn’t any damn cargo from the last pickup. However, he is certain that HQ isn’t thinking along those lines. In fact, he is fairly certain that HQ is now researching his movements from, left to right, and then a little over there, too. They will cover every base to track whether or not he covered every base. Therefore, he resets the dinosaur and tries again.
“This Cargo Ain’t Right!” 1courier drops the m-com link and curses again. Loudly this time. He thinks back to the pickup again. Did he get the wrong cargo? Furthermore, how did it happen, considering he observed every detail? He studies intently on his memory of the pickup. Carefully considering each of his movements. His mind replays the events, in slow motion. Even the part when he walked into the glass door that wouldn’t open.
With this in mind, everything checked out. He feels confident in his performance. He did his job carefully, and thoroughly. Furthermore, he arrived at the drop-off much earlier than scheduled. In every respect the delivery was flawless. Therefore, only one other possibility remained. 1courier deploys the dinosaur again.
Cargo
The drop-off location was in another zone entirely. Therefore, delivery accuracy was paramount. 1courier had a near perfect track record for accuracy. Something just didn’t add up. The chime dings, the dinosaur runs, and 1courier grins. This was going to be the one.
“This cargo ain’t right!” The words ripple through his mind. It rattles him and he doesn’t see the pterodactyl flying low. By the time he does, it’s too late, the dinosaur is toast. 1courier squints his eyes, and resists the urge to throw the m-com link into the road. He hopes HQ will finish the fact checking real soon. It was time to get on to the next. Surely all the deliveries were not delivered yet.
As if on cue, the m-com link flashes and brings some happy news. HQ determined that 1courier performed his job, accurately. Furthermore, the pickup merchant packaged the wrong cargo. Subsequently, there was no way for 1courier to know. Couriers do not open packages. Therefore HQ and the drop-off customer are continuing their quest. Meanwhile, 1courier shelfs the dinosaur, and gets back on the road. Time to make like a pterodactyl, and fly.
