Goodnight and Goodnite Part 12

A black bowl appeared in a flash. It is double the size of the white bowls. Almost the size of a soccer field. The door fell open onto the dirt below. Smoke dispersed out of the black bowlinto the planet's atmosphere. A set of stairs popped out from the door to the ground. A familiar face then descended down the stairs. Ms. Goodnite. She was in a pantsuit with her hair in a bun.

"Sylvia? Zach? I see that someone survived the planet's terrain!"

"Ms Goodnite?!" All the young adults in unison came looking for new bowls.

"Glad someone's here, I brought quite a lot of gear to start taking you back to Earth. I brought freezers of meat." My mouth watered at the word "meat. Seasquirrels are not a replacement for beef, pork, or chicken. I looked over at Sylvia. She appeared to be fantasizing about the fresh meat. "I will need to have some volunteers help hook up the computers to set up for preparing a return ship for Earth. I also would love a tour of your living arrangements!"

"I would take you around personally," Sylvia acknowledged Ms. Goodnite's request.

"I will let everyone know you're coming," I responded.

I returned to the women's quarters first. Ming acted sketchy when I informed her of Ms. Goodnite's tour. The men were more or less usual. Carl ordered many to clean up the "Man Cave''. I rendezvoused with Heather and Monica. We meet up to plan out what we need to do for our farm. They were both mad and happy about my news. Heather brought up how she tricked us here. Monica noted she brought a way back.

I cleaned up the "Time Chamber". I found scraps of paper which look like notes. I grew samples of the pants we eat here. I browsed the notes before me on the time accelerating device. Kyle wrote about how the early stages of the food had the side effect of aging the eater too. Melony writes how Kyle aged so much that he died of old age. Melony has a diagram of what improvements she made to the time accelerator. There were no more notes. I assume they fixed the problem because I felt no side effects. Also they ran out of seeds.

When Ms. Goodnite came. I showed her everything. She was impressed with the time chamber and loved the food samples. The fields of food were deeply criticized.

"Zach, there is enough crops to support a large city!"

"Thanks, Ms. Goodnite."

"Have you tried animals in the time chamber?"

"No. I did not consider it. We also do not have any domestic animals to try it on."

"Hmmmmmm. Is this chamber available to everyone?"

"Ms. Goodnite, most of our facilities do not have locks anyway."

Ms. Goodnite left to meet Ming at her work. She does not talk about it with the rest of us. I do know she sleeps most days and works nights. Ms. Goodnite will meet her at the girl's quarters to be led to her operations. Heather followed her once. Ming knocked her out when she was spotted.
