The bus drives through the city to the city hall. Once at city hall about 200 other n and won are there. All in line. The bus stops and the 20 soldiers onboard get out and form their line. Dad looks around.
DAD: "Not a lot of help. Did they seriously need us? What’s going to happen a war on teors?"
RICHIE: "Shh... General is about to explain the situation."
There is a small stage and platform in front of the groups of n and won. An older, heavily decorated soldier, black, muscular, and black sunglasses, cos up to the microphone.
GENERAL: "I would like to start off by thanking each of you personally. I am General Gray. I will be in charge of scout duties. As well as positions and shifts. We have reason to believe a teor 10 miles from here is the cause for this weird snow fall during this ti of the year."
He pans the crowd back and forth. He stops while looking in Dad’s direction as if intentionally.
GENERAL: "So of you have families. We understand so of you are supposed to be off duty. YOU must understand it is snowing like this all around the world. Even on the equator. Whatever this teor is, it’s of sothing this planet has never seen before. We will all take the buses to the teors landing - area. Platoons 2,4, and 6 will be on look-out for any other tourists from other countries looking to get their military and space programs next to the teor, Is that clear?
GROUPS 2, 4, 6: "YES SIR!!!"
GENERAL: "Groups 1, 3, and 5 are to keep watch and to make sure it’s nothing more than a cold rock. Is that clear?"
GROUPS1, 3, 5: "YES SIR!!!"
GENERAL: "Everyone! ALL OUT!!"
All the soldiers head back in the sa way they ca out. The buses file out of the quite city. Before they reach the city line . Dad looks out his window and sees Katsu snuck out of the house to see him off. Dad chuckles and shakes his head.
