I’m wondering if they even know what
Minka looks like. That would be funny as
heck if they ask “Who are you and what
are you talking about?” And then she
proceeds to tell them. “Oh, and by the
way Julian, you’re fired.”
It would be best for her to not even acknowledge Julian, until her assistant informs her that he works in a warehouse as day labor, so that the parents realize how complete his BS is. Then when informed by her assistant that he claims wedding bells are in their future, her laughing, then firing him for spreading lies, will complete his humiliation.
The great thing about a grav drive, that pulls towards the largest mass that it is aimed at, is that their is no such thing as counter measures, since it is not thermal, or optical, once locked on, the mass has to cease to exist in known space, to be removed as a target, if that is possible to do in time.
The latest Mk III missile can actually select it’s target.
This was designed so that the missiles can target things with
a planet, moon, or another larger mass behind them that an
unguided missile would be attracted to.
I wanted to say “You’ve been working for us in secret developing hot
product for some time” was going to be a harder sell than “I saw your
resume and Master’s thesis online and we need you immediately.” But
then I remembered who we were talking about and the tissue-thin
story they were already buying, or spinning.
I need to pick your brains. I need a panic button. My wife fell
outside yesterday. I wondered what was taking her so long to
come in. Luckily a couple of neighbors saw her down, stopped
and helped her to her feet. But she needs a way to alert me
if she falls in the house. Ideally, it would have 2 components.
A fob with the panic button on it and an alarm that would go off
near me. Any ideas, suggestions?
I am very hard of hearing and can only hear audio on my tablet
by using ear buds. But then I cannot hear most things going on
around me. Any ideas? Suggestions? Recommendations?
I was having the same problem with both of mine, medilert
fobs are costly, and they charge a lot for the service. My
father couldn’t understand tech of any kind, he’d forget the
explanations in minutes. I got my wife a “smartwatch” that
kept track of her oxy levels, heart rate and detected any falls.
I would talk to a doctor or reach out to a social service for help,
even the watch I got my wife had limited range to my phone.
I got the watch from samsung and I had to pay an extra $20 a month.
but the watch cost about $200.
Alarm companies have panic buttons that can be put in drawers for their alarm systems, I have heard that some have wearable panic buttons, that put the wearer in contact with the alarm company. This would allow emergency services to be called out, if that is a need. If you feel you need to be informed before emergency services, you can get a remote for a light, change out the light for a strobe in a color that you can see, insure the remote is a radio frequency, so if she falls, then she pushes the button, you know that she needs help. You would only need to insure the strobe is where you are, or have multiple units on the same frequency, so that the strobes go off all over the house, including outside the front and back, where you might be outside, with her inside, needing help. While the first option is a professional setup, it is less localized, but getting the second option, might involve hiring someone to do the wiring work. But I think the remote, being a strong enough radio frequency, would be the biggest issue, needing to be tested, before alterations were made.
I’m sure one of them will get snooty and demand to know who
she is, and watch “Juli’s” face go white when Minka explains
and fires him.
This feels like it’s going to be close, will the Empire’s ships strike
before the attack begins? I’m a bit on the fence as to what their
reaction will be, too. They are clearly not as smart as the Foxes
or the Funky-Frogs, and very aggressive.
Get outta Dodge
I wonder what the “family” thinks now.
Especially when Minka asked who Julian is.
Invaders are in for a surprise.
A big thump.
