#41: We're gonna be in TROUBLE!

.......................................................................................................................................................................................

In the kitchen one of the Mormon girls had been helping the cook. She was looking at the dwindling store of coffee in dismay. She turned to one of the KidKin who was patiently waiting for her to make another pot of the black brew.

"Dusty" she complained " I don't know what we are going to do. We're getting dangerously close to running out of coffee. When it's all gone we're going to be in troubeeeeeeeeele. This place practically runs on coffee."

Dusty nodded in wonder. He didn't say much but he didn't see a real problem. After he got his coffee he wandered outside to find one of his dragon buddies.

"Olaf" he said...and then he expressed his concerns.

Olaf the dragon didn't say much either but then he seldom did. Olaf wasn't much of a talker. After the conversation was over Olaf waited a bit while Dusty left and returned with a small package. Dusty handed the package to Olaf and stood back.

The dragon launched . Dusty stood watching as Olaf flew out of sight. The dragon took the small package of coffee beans to the ARK.

Meanwhile the command group had continued their planning session far into the night and on into the next day. Eventually a decision was reached and the appropriate 'volunteers' were contacted. Some of whom were surprised to learn that they had volunteered, but no one complained. Much.Orders were given and supplies were gathered. Suddenly all that was left to do was wait for everyone and everything involved to get there. They tried to get some rest.

After dark, several dragons arrived carrying large packages. They met Dusty who guided them into the kitchen. They left the packages and silently departed. This started a pattern. After that, every few days, a small group of dragons would leave several hundred pounds of coffee beans at the kitchen. They would then depart without a word of explanation.
