'Ladies & gentlemen, please quiet, we'll start the conference,' President of the British Wildlife Society, Mr. Rosenvalte speaking. 'Right, I'll first present to you the mission "eyes wide open" which change a bit since last year, then call all the groups, and says the last information you need to know.'

          The audience is composed of all the people from the faculties of the Society, animal's behaviours, zoologist, botanist, algebra, and statistic. Only a part of them is concerned, because there are only five groups of 2-3 person, out of the hundred people present in the amphitheatre, but that's the tradition, with that everyone knows what some of them do.

           'The mission "eyes wide open" is now on 5 months - instead of the 3 months next years - the purpose still the same, observe and identify flora and fauna around the hut.'

          Hopefully the zoologists have a guide in botanic, and the botanists have a guide in zoology, plus a zoologist, that's why there are groups of three.

          The president, Mr Rosenvalte explains that each team have to try the new observations equipment. And even if the others leave when they arrived at the hut, they have to check the security equipment. Then he gives all the things they need to do during the mission.

          The mission takes place in the Congo Basin Forest, it is based on an agreement between the Democratic Republic of Congo and London, for the preservation of species potentially threatened by mining or deforestation. London makes the observations and reports, and the DRC ensures the protection of the huts.

          'Now I will call all the groups,' Announce Mr. Rosenvalte.

Group 1: Audrey & Dean
Group 2: Maizie & Ivy
Group 3: Milo, Edward & Jenna
Group 4: John - statistician & Daniel - zoologist
Group 5: Ember, Farah & Lyla

          All those called, head for the stage.

          'The last information, probably, the most important, about the travel from London to DRC. Each team has a solar glider with the digit of your group, you will take off tomorrow morning, at 7 a.m., from the airport of London-Heathrow and land at the airport of Mbuji-Mayi, a 3-day flight, non-stop. Then a Jeep will be waiting to take you to your hut, and you know what to do after. Any question?'

          One of the select-for-the-mission, Daniel, raises his hand. 'What if we don't wake up at time?' the audience bust of laugh.

          'You will be fired.'

          'Everyone come here, please, I will despatch you to your glider,' says one mission manager.

          I am tired, it is too early for me, but I am at the time, so not fired, and that's a good thing.

          The guy call each team and we head towards our receptive gliders. I hope we've got bed in it, because it is a 3-day flight non-stop, gliders are made for it, because they're solar-powered, and as for the pilot, well, there are two of them, alternating half-days and half-nights.

          'Hi, Daniel, how are you today?' says John when we just seat.

          'Hi, I'm fine and you?'
