It would be, several hours later, dusk, as we would know it descending upon them. The Kets 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 is 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 then 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.
Once I know, I will place you into groups who will consist of not only those who can learn from YOU, in some instances force YOU to work with each other BUT also teach you to accept your weaknesses, enhance or harness new, strengths.

In the end the richness you will PERSONALLY have on offer, with being wise, for some of you, what you gain from such interactions; though some of you WILL also experience the good, the bad and the indifference! Can have you making life long; friends? Enemies?? At least you will KNOW who your enemies are!

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 the archive systems aboard Raptor to allow you to peruse at your leisure. The imaging that will show you the layout.

There are rules, regulations AND 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 all 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! Though we do NOT allow any plant that is toxic, poisonous or dangerous to Kets within specific areas re the gardens some of the NON specific ones that are open to certain races as THEIR natural habitat? Do exist.

However, that does not mean, should you end up exposed to them! you do not have an allergic reaction, for example from coming into contact with them. So take heed!

Taking another with you 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!

Talking of such 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, observe 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.

Genuine ignorance, will not be punished. BUT stupidity and laziness WILL!

If your ‘group’, has those within it, who have the answers to a given situation and, you choose NOT to learn from them, work with them, have answers? That is either stupidity or laziness!

Likewise those who KNOW and watch your team mates make mistakes, when they KNEW the odds would be what they end up as? Will also be punished!

Lastly. You will NOT, enter the lands beyond the Akademy, the other side as you will know it; beyond the ‘estuary’. There are clearly defined borders, with Opticons monitoring!

Forbidden lands to ALL of you! NO exceptions and anyone, caught attempting to disobey, my orders on that WILL BE EXPELLED.

The figure in the shadows watching on smiled. Don’t worry Ameryst, you. will NOT. be getting expelled. I have to protect you until we are ready.

La Toyah was finishing up. She felt uneasy. “For the first time in a long time this session with them went well?’ Too well?

Ready to party?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a-2RhDiaAA
