A Father, Lost

[Akirapryde]

Alice turned to face Adrian, "if the year here is 3060, than that VTOL is about sixty five years too early. It shouldn't exist."

Before anyone else could react, Kimiko walked up. She was clearly shaken by the loss of her father. She walked up to Jake and stood next him. She spoke to Colonel Johns, "Please inform both President McGray and General Macko that I have changed my mind. I will meet with them in due time," She spoke clearly and professional. But she was clearly fighting to hold it together. "I will let them know when I am ready to meet them."

She turned to Jake, "I want to see the city, then I want to go home," she declared.

While Kimiko was speak, Erik moved up behind Adrian and tapped him on the shoulder. Prior to this moment Erik had disappeared from sight. "We need to talk" he said motioning for Adrian to move slightly from the party. Outside of ear shot from everyone else, Erik whispered, "I will explain more when we have a chance to speak more freely, but the Lyran threat is very real and the situation is more than what it appears. We need to locate a man by the name of Professor Walter Stevens."
