#10: It hadn't gone well


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

Initially the meat gathering expedition hadn’t gone well. The kids had lacked critical information:

Kraki was mind-melded to his bear while they paced the running herbivore. Now what? Somehow, he realized, the VR’s had always skipped over this part. Somehow the running beast was to transform into a dead heap on the ground. He wasn’t real clear on that part. He pulled away from the chase and found a small clearing. His bear laid down and napped while Kraki began running queries in his intracranial database.

“Kill Animal: how to”

Kara flew up and alighted...she dismounted her gryphon and walked over to Kraki. The Griffin eyed the sleeping Bear...an evil gleam in it’s eye.

“cha-doing?” she asked, leaning up against him.

“thinking” he replied leaning back into her.

“ ‘bout what?”

“Killing”

“Silly...look here…”
.. she mentally guided him to the correct location in the data base. It had a creche-manager lockout.

“ooops no wonder….now what”

“Boys…giggle Always following the rules...you gotta love them...so innocent.“

She guided him through the mysteries of using an illegal override. They hacked the system together. They both spent minutes absorbing the data.

“Brrr” he shuddered “ Do we really have to do that? Isn’t there some other way?

“Nope, 'fraid not living in the wild sucks. Vat Meat is so much less messy.”
