It would be several hours later, dusk, as we would know it. The Ket party was in full swing. Nathan swung open the hatch, entered. Becci screaming at Cxan. The noise dies back to whispers amongst the Kets. Two, of the Galacia troopers moved to the sides of the entry hatch. Commander Serenia, ordering them to stand to attention, whilst La Toyah and the others filtered through There was a semi circular recline at the front.
La Toyah sat down, with the others, bar Nathan. The other Kets standing, watching, now asked to sit. He turned back to introduce La Toyah. “Most of you, already know or have an idea of what lies ahead? For those who don’t, let me explain. The Kets Akademy is where you lot will hopefully, learn to appreciate each other. To gain invaluable life skills. It’s not going to be easy, nor is it an option taken lightly. Your Parentia, have made the application and they were accepted. Allow me now, to introduce you all to La Toyah, who will, explain further.“
She stood up, as they stood and bowed, commenting that she was impressed by their manners! “Please sit. “She leaned over to ask Nathan for some water! He pressed a control on the unit in front of her and a drink appeared! Taking a sip, she now continued. “My job is to interview you all, to find out your strengths, your weaknesses, your skills and to match you into the teams at the Akademy, that will benefit you all!
YOU WILL all, have interviews with me. Learn to use the online systems to record data, to study data and more about the Akademy. For those of you wanting to know what the Akademy looks like? Facilities, oppotunities to expand your skills and more, I have updated systems aboard Raptor to allow you to peruse the imaging that will show you the layout. There are some areas that are out of bounds to you Kets, make sure you take note of those areas. I don’t wish to have to expel any Ket BUT if you disobey the rules and force me to, I will.
The Akademy has CHANGED, re its features and its layout! It has new structures added, including the domiciliary areas, known as the Knurlings. Improvements and updates to the Stratorium and I should add, a second Stratorium is being built with twenty five levels. When you watch the intro in a moment, you will note and I am sure appreciate how vast the complex is. There are temple zones, recreational areas plus the extended Galesia Gardens with plants, fauna, insects and more from across the galaxies.
A word of advice." She started to smile. "If you are planning on visiting any of the gardens. NOT of your worlds! Take a Ket who is, with you. There are some plants that will seem very strange, attractive flowers and inviting to you. They may ensnare you like the Venus fly trap from the Humana worlds does to its prey! Sting you or spray you! We do NOT allow any plant that is toxic, poisonous or dangerous to Kets within the gardens.
However that does not mean that you do not have an allergic reaction for example from coming into contact with them. So take heed! Taking another who IS from those worlds will also expand YOUR knowledge, your skills. Some of those plants may save your life! Herbal and medicinal based properties? LEARNING is what the Akademy is there for. We know that certain plants feed, give us oils for parfums, skin lotions and are cheap, effective and easy to come by. Unlike some of the more expensive Renais items!
Shipments in and out of the Akademy are restricted. You are allowed incoming goods but only if they have been cleared and are permitted items. Nothing illegal, fake or similar is permitted. Watch this and do your research, reading up on the rules, regulations not forgetting the charter itself." Seconds later a huge holographic screen illuminated as La Toyah sat down, the Kets watched the tour of the Akademy.
