SEND IN THE CLONES III : The Run-around

"Thank you very much for your help!" I say as I get back to the desk. Seeing cart’s form I add "I’ve heard that if we digest some soap, the opera may be faster don’t you agree miss Mable?"

"It's this form isn't it? Could you sign that and we shall be out of your hair!" Cart wondered if he could help Mable expedite the process, even though he was now thinking she wasn't the right person to help them. He tapped on one of the forms on her table.

Soap? Digest?

somewhere a synapse fires and a connection is made in Mable's brain and she begins patting her lap and her pockets.

Oh, Oh dear,

As Cart taps the forms she grabs the top one and uses it as a tissue.

Please, please don't report me. It's just a teensy tiny infraction, I live for my stories. PLEASE!

I stare at her, utterly confused by what appears to be an easy confession After a while, I manage to point at the forms

"Why don't you just sign off on all the forms, and we'll all forget what has happened so that we can sit down and enjoy a nice hot cup of tea together." Cart began to gently nudge at a whole bunch of random forms on her desk to indicate where she should sign.

Brett starts to get the hint that they are doing a bit of negotiating, and he turns his multicorder to record the nice wall and whistles a tune.

Mable pulls out a pen in her shaky hand, her sobs beginning to subside.

so that's it? I just sign these forms and you leave me alone?

She sniffs back some snot.

this is just like the time Stefano told Marlena that he was signing over the inheritance but then it turned out that Stefano war actually his twin brother, Vispecci and Marlena was actually signing over the ranch.

Mable's speech becomes more impassioned,

well that's not happening today. Not if I can help it

Her resolve grows stronger as tears stream down her face,

There will be no signing today or tomorrow or ever again

Mable holds a stack of forms up defiantly in her hands...

"No need to worry dear Miss Mable, Vispecci was melted for treason and there are no ranchs in these forms. You can trust us with these signature so we can never sign again with your lovely paperless system you were talking about"

Brett yells No! but it is to little effect. Mable attempts to tear up the forms in dramatic fashion, The only thing preventing her from doing so is her tremendous weakness. She is defeated by the forms. She deflates back into her chair.

My, my father? I never really knew my father. After I was decanted from the vats, he just wasn't around much. Sometimes I could see Friend Computer looking in on me to make sure I was safe, but my real father, As far as I know he fell in love with another man's wife and was lost at sea during the Great Collapse... that is until he returned under an assumed alias and an intense case of amnesia, some people think he still isn't all there.

She looks directly at Will,

What abou you. You say you knew Vispecci? But how well did you really know him?

She's back on her feet

When you see that bastard give him this from old Mable

She slaps you hard, and then grabs your face and kisses you full on the lips and then stares off into the distance.

Now Get out

"A promise is a promise. I'll help with those, don't you worry Mable!" Cart gently slipped some of the forms off the table in a gesture of obsequiousness and held them as if he was off on an important mission on her behalf; he saluted her and left the table.

Brett gave a huge sigh as he is relieved that Cart successfully diverted the crisis. He follows after the Saviour of the Forms.

Paralysed by Ms Mable's vicious attack, I can only reply in acceptance "Will do miss!" as I try to leave the room, keeping my eyes on her for any sudden movements

Jan 9, 2020 11:14 pm

The intrepid troubleshooters exit Mable's office and pass the throngs of still waiting citizens lined up at her door. After a quick trip back to the elevator and down another series of halls they arrive at the door to the Troubleshooter Counseling Loyalty and Equipment Bureau. There is no wait. The office inside the door is hardly larger than a broom closet. There is room for only one troubleshooter to stand in the office the other two must wait in the hall.

Jan 10, 2020 8:29 am

I stop at the door, still terrified by the previous encounter and wave at Cart "This is a task for the form bearer". I nod respectfully and wait.

Jan 10, 2020 12:41 pm

Cart needed no urging. He was that close to getting his equipment. He entered the office, but kept a foot at the door so that the other two could still see and hear what was going on.

"We have the forms! We have all the forms! Please take our forms, and give us the equipment! Hail Computer, the most glorious equipment of all!"

In front of you is a cheerful looking jackbot. Below his smiling face is a sign that reads, please shut door to activate

Jan 10, 2020 11:59 pm

"Hello helpful jackbot, let me help you help us." Cart inspected the sign and its smiling face, to see how he could enable the jackbot to circumvent the door activation requirement.
