Deep inside Herr Oberst’s computer. In a dimly lit room surrounded by anodes, diodes, valves and the odd crystal set. Sit six intrepid aviator avatars huddled and chained to a packing case that is covered by the sacred Wings Of War scrolls.
The rustling of paper fills the room as the sacred scrolls are slowly opened to reveal their secrets. A hush falls over the small group as they gaze reverently at the Texts.
Then the Work begins and soon the rubbish bins is filled with reams of paper, First drafts/attempts at deciphering the codes hidden deep within the Sacred Text.
Then those Eureka moments as each of the stats systems are decoded. One by one they open and reveal their secret to our intrepid team.
Than just as the mission seems to be coming to an end a runner enters.
“sorry chaps and chapess but they want more revelations. The Shapeways Stats!”
Howls of protest erupt, They want what? They’ll want the Skytrex, Riviresco and SRAM Stats next.
The Runner sheepishly pulls another order from his bag “now that you mention it…….”
Our intrepid Sextet turn to the bookshelves, that hold the sacred books of knowledge. (Janes, Wiki etc.) They wipe the dust from them and open them . More codes to decipher. Mutter Mutter Mumble Mumble.
“Do you think he will let us out of here before Christmas?” a small voice says
“Maybe if we promise to return in the new year he might let us out” another quiet voice says.
“ONLY IF YOU GET IT FINISHED IN TIME” a gruff booming all encompassing voice replies.
‘Yes Herr Qberst” they meekly reply
Then finally they finish the last stat is completed, the Stats systems are finished.
The work is done.
Miraculously the chains fall to the ground, a stream of leds light a path. In the distance they can see their trusty aircraft.
Freedom they Cry as they emerge Red Eyed, Tired, almost bent double from the cramped conditions and from poring over the manuscripts.
They shuffle, rubbing their wrists to get circulation back into their hands, each to their own aircraft and take to the skies,
Each knowing they’ll meet on some other day!
