With ‘rents like that Julius can’t call them
and say he is doing well.
They would want him under their control until he was eighty.
They also wouldn’t listen if he told them
that their antics would get him fired.
Let the war games begin.
It’s sad that Becky and Julian’s parents are so clingy.
Seems to me they want their money, the fact they
got worse after Becky left says much. I still think they
need to join workfare and leave the kids alone…
My instincts tell me the Disruptors are going to try and
pull something sneaky. But since they love their own
version of a deathstar it makes it hard to use stealth
at all, the emissions alone from a ship that size would
light up the sky on infrared. So maneuvering jets only,
slow but it would get them there. either way, the
kamikaze ships will solve any mishaps.
2) already moved out,. from the sound of it. wouldn’t let leave.!
3) restraining order,. has to be a ‘threat’,. harassment, by it
self, is hard to prove,, but with the “Company” involvement,
might have a case.!
All the business has to do, is to tell the parents that he was fired,
because of them harassing the business.
Then transfer him to another location temporarily.
Do a quality search and scan of his possessions before the move,
then when they feel things are settled, give him the choice to move back.
If he is that good of a worker, the company can front him a bit of pay,
to help him find a place where he moves to.
Total severance from the parents, along with removing the company from
the harassment blitz. With him gone, his income gone, the parents would
then have to survive on their own income, or lack of income,
however the case may be.
My mother was a control freak, even that wouldn’t stop her.
she’d find out where I was living and track me down so she
could explain again why I should move “back home.” It’s
why I was living in downtown Gary before I was 18, I
basically ran away.
POSSIBLE solution to Julian’s parental problem…
(and this is a long writing stretch ..)
Have the company find someone else,
FAAAAR away somewhere else, with similar/
same skills. Maybe even with the same parental
clingy problem.
Move Julian there, move the other person here.
Buh-bye. Sorry mom, can’t come home.
He may have to relocate, when parents are like that
NO amount of threats or court order will stop it. My
father had to jump my mother about calling my wife
and I 10 times a day. We lived about 15 minutes away
and she would show up unannounced all the time.
When we were trying for our first baby it was hard
since she had a “special sense” about it. sigh…
Fifteen minutes away?
Depending on the parent, that could be
“juuuuust right” (my recently deceased
MIL as prime example, a fine woman),
or “too damned close” (Julian’s parents).
LOL! I wonder what the police thought of find a civilian
tracking GPS attached to their car?
Me? I think I would have attached it to a freight
truck travelling totally out of the area, possibly even
out of the country (Mexico or Canadia)
And what were the consequences to Julian and the
parents?
cop friend said it’s common, now days… gangers & dealers plant
em on cars so they know when ones in the hood…
found one on mom’s car,. cop friend said it was a new trend,
“grandkids used the car,.” (and are known users.) and a dealer
plants one to make sure you’re not cop.. and possibly to steal it…
It has become a problem for cops in major cities, to the point
where if they find one, it’s possible now to track the owner if
it is turned on remotely. So by doing that, sooner or later they
will get caught. Downside is it could come back to Julian.
Question, do the parents really want the kids’
money or just under their thumb?
Personally I think they are helicopter parents and
never want the kids out of their sight. At least Julian.
It’s hard to say, my own mother was like that after my
car accident. Thankfully trackers weren’t invented yet
otherwise I’d be checking my car even after my wife
and I were married. Fought me tooth and nail about my
moving back out at 24, then again when my wife and
I were dating, then again when we moved in together.
No, it wasn’t because she was worried about me,
she just loved control.
The boss calling Julius an excellent employee and then describing him
like misplaced equipment makes the GPS-tracker reveal land quickly.
It also turns the family’s constant calls from a private annoyance
into a believable workplace risk.
The quarantine sequence below echoes the same control-and-surveillance
theme on a larger scale,
which makes the two story sections feel deliberately paired.
Strangled by family ties.

I’ve decided that the name of her flagship is the INS Pointy Stick.
It was that, or the INS Naugha. But as in real life, the pointy stick won.
Like Curly from the Three Stooges would say
OOOH Pointy Stick NYUCK NYUCK.
PC any INS Naugha ship should be one that can go stealth and cloak.
That way the maneuver would be known as… The Naugha Hide…

Julian,
1) Grow some gonads
2) Move out of your parent’s house
3) Get a restraining order
If they learn to behave the order can be vacated.

Slight quibble, Catman. The word is “kamikazi” with an “I” as
the 2nd vowel. “Kami” is the Japanese word for “a god”.
Thanks, Bill. You’re right.
Much like Yukikazi would be a snowy wind?

I’d superglue it to an alligator…
