Tales of the courier – Three ways to the spirit cargo
He is late. The traffic has become unexpectedly dense. It looks as though he will be at least another ten minutes. From behind him comes another loud hiss of air, as a heavy freighter uses its brakes to slow. 1courier grins. This was an extreme uptick in traffic.
With this in mind, if it got any more dense, he would detour. The timing of this one was important. Furthermore, the handling of the spirit cargo was expressly set forth by HQ. There were strict rules. 1courier checks the roadway all around.
Tales of the Courier
The amount of traveling vehicles was almost beyond the road’s capacity. He is aware that it is early for spirit cargo however, the compensation would be worth it. If he can find the place in time. The road has almost become a parking lot now. Therefore he begins to scout for a quick break to the exit.
HQ is adamant about timely arrivals. 1courier grins, better late than never, was going to have to be the rule today. As if reading his thoughts, the m-com link begins flashing. It will be about his arrival time. He checks the m-com and is pleased with his intuition. It’s about his arrival time.
Within a few minutes, he has the exit. The ride gathers speed as they inch along the side of the highway. While he waits he thinks about the last time he delivered the spirit cargo. It was becoming more popular by the day. Additionally, there were only three ways to the spirit cargo.
He finally makes the exit. Then he presses the ride for more speed. The delay hasn’t been severe. He still has time. Within the next few minutes, he is passing by the outer edges of the township. It was imperative he make it through the correct gate. There were two. Only one would get him to the spirit cargo.
Three ways
There were more than a few restrictions with this type of delivery. In fact, 1courier would have to do some scanning, once he arrived at the drop-off location. This new type of scanning procedure was detailed and involved. Therefore, it was time consuming. Furthermore, the spirit cargo was notoriously unstable.
All of these thoughts swirl through his mind as he arrives at the pickup location. Within minutes 1courier has the spirit cargo loaded. Time for the scan. It will help ensure everything is correct, and actually loaded.
As the scanner does its thing, the day instantly becomes night. 1courier blinks, and he is no longer at the pickup location. He is standing beside the ride in the middle of a deserted desert road. Just him, the ride, and the spirit cargo.
