The Windmill

5: The Note

Connie saw Farine near the back court. She ran towards him

"Farine! What are you doing?" Connie asked. Farine was crouching down besides a box full of metal parts.

"Spare parts for the windmill." 

"I didn't even do my research yet." Connie said. Farine ignored her. Connie picked up the blueprint. The windmill was like a large conventional windmill with a toaster shaped back, the contraption and cathode ray gun.

"Oof nice design, you didn't even wait for me." Connie said. Farine laughed and grabbed the blueprint.

"Have you seen Helewn somewhere?" Farine said. Out of a sudden they both heard cat meows. Helewn walked to the centre of the court.

"Yo." Helewn said. She put out her hands from her pockets and dumps a cheque at Farine. Farine caught it.

"I'll work on the light-aether absorber."

"You mean the cathode ray gun?" Connie said. Helewn nodded.

"Yeah smartass." Helewn said and sat on a bench at the court.

"Go do your research." Farine said. Connie was a little bit annoyed but she just went back to the library nonetheless.

She walked to the library. The usual of her spot but Tyler wasn't there. She went to a nearest bookcase and found the book Tyler showed, Years On The Windmill. She looked at the books on astrophysics and quantum mechanics. She took her books and walked to her and Tyler's usual spot.

"Hmm, the soda's stain here." 

"Huh?"

Connie spotted Tyler's journal on the table. It was bookmarked for some reason that it attracted her attention.

"Tyler?" Connie thought. She opened the book and took out some more papers. There were research papers on flux capacitors and real science innovation and fixing on the usual models of the storm combatting machine. 

"Flux capacitors can diverge electromagnetic radiations, but what for? Dark matter doesn't interact with them." 

She continued to read more and more as the book covers things that aren't engineering and more spacey jargons.

"Huh?"

She found a sticky note.

-the storm is in 7 days.

Connie went back to the court. Helewn was carrying a bowl of copper chunks.

"The storm is in 7 days, Farine." Connie said. Farine stood up. 

"We are going to finish the mechanism by tomorrow it is." Farine declared. Helewn stopped on her tracks.

"Farine, it is just me or that Connie in this project just made the storm more sooner?" Helewn monotoned. Connie dropped beside Farine and started telling him about Tyler's research and new design.

"Day 1, the mechanism." Farine said as he put on his welding mask.
