I HUFF loudly as we all wait for Eunice in the basement. Cadence got home just a few minutes ago, and we expected the meeting to be able to start; but Zoey and Aiden reported that Eunice's gone out, and now all of us have to wait for her in order for the meeting to start.
After waiting for what seems like an hour, my best friend appears in the stairwell leading to the foyer, panting. I sigh and gesture towards the table.
"Sorry for making y'all wait," she says before jogging down the stairs quickly and taking a seat next to Zoey at our now small table.
We call the meeting to order, and Cadence starts talking right away.
"As you have all seen from the video, Byrok is right at the borders waiting for us to take one wrong step, and the entire world would be in peril. In order to stop that, we need a plan. And quickly too. We've talked about it already, and Gwyneth has come up with the drafts of a personal mission for everyone."
I smile as she gestures for me to take over. "Yeah. I know we're all busy with schoolwork and there's a lot for everyone to do over the holidays – like homework and practical assignments. We have to supposedly save the world, but we can't handle getting kicked out of college, right?" I ask jokingly, chuckling. "Which is why I've designed a personal mission for everyone."
"First, Eunice. You told me you'll just have to catch up on a few assignments and practice that routine for a recital. There's a sports center near the City Square – the small one, not the town one. You can go there and practice – and do the rest of your work at home. You would be able to see the border from a distance."
"Zey and Cady – you two are the silent activities ones. So as we've discussed, you guys should head to the library and do your work. Use not the reading rooms, but the desks near the windows that face the border and the mountains. I'll join you there most of the time to do my psych online lecture things."
"Trissy – Aurore gave us this house, so the wiring may be ear-tapped by Rochbok. You should probably head to a café or something with Ava to code and finish your startup business, so Rochbok can't track you with the internet. Pay attention to any suspicious things; pretend to be coding most of the time when actually hacking Rochbok's system. Try to find loopholes and prevent them tracking our phones, too," he nods, and I reference my notes for the last ones.
"Aiden. You said you wanted to go work that crediting part-time job with Anson, so you can just go to the bank. No specific mission for you, same as the first part of what I said for Trissy. And Kun, just... I don't know, walk on the streets and update us on the Byrok patrolling soldiers. Disguise yourself too. Since you don't have much work."
