Norse appeared at the doorway to greet the two.
"Ah, Corporal Stirling! How good it is to see you again!" he smiled, looking more like a grandfatherly figure than a fellow officer.

NIck raised an eyebrow and looked at Emily.
"He is in charge of the Air FOrce?" Nick asked amazed, "He seems more like the type of guy to spend teh day with his grandchildren, playing."

Norse looked up at Nick and just chuckled lightly.
"You don't know how many people have told me that, young lad! Come inside and rest your feet!"
He invited them into the Room to rest.

"Now then, what can I do for you two?" Norse smiled, not noticing Ktonos approaching.
"You've no doubt heard about the railroad crash," Emily began.
"Oh! A mere accident! It was not as bad as the Superhighway Incident of 3219."
"But one of the Councillors thinks that it'll be enough to close it down."
Norse fell silent, his face turning from bright and cheerful to sullen and miserable. He moved over to a picture of a steam engine hanging on the far wall.
"I cannot believe it," he muttered in a dull voice. "The oldest surviving railway line in the Aniverse. It's unthinkable! They can't possibly close it!"

"As much as i hate to say it, but it is my dad, Council Member Arlen is teh one pushing to shut it down." Nick said quietly. "Even after I found away to make money for the Railway through a job I do."
Ktonos slowly entered teh Admirality and headed to teh front desk.

"Arlen?" Norse looked up at Nick and moved closer to inspect the boy.
"If only your father were like you," he ventured. "If there were an Anti-Rail League, I'm certain that Councillor Arlen would be its' leader."

"My dad only worries about money. He doesn't look at things the way i do." Nick said lowering his head. "All htat matters to him is how money is spent and how it is made. If he feels that something is a waste of money, he removes it without a second thought."
Ktonos slid up tot eh desk adn coughed gently to catch teh seceratry's attention.
"I was told this a place to look for possible work." He said calmly and bowed getnly.

"Indeed," nodded Norse. "But tell me, what brought about your interest in the railroad?"
"That's right," nodded the secretary. "What kind of job did you have in mind?"

"I race along the tracks on a hover bike and i have always enjoyed watching the engines from my living room window." Nick admitted quietly.
"Most of my skills are centerred around hunting, but i am good with my hands and i am exceptionallly strong. I heard the Railway could use some strong backs." Ktonos said politely.

"Ah, a sportsman!" nodded Norse. "And I take it you came to me to make sure your Dad didn't close down your playground, right?"
"Well, Corporal Stirling is just through that door, she'll tell you what to do." the Secretary gestured to the door.

NIck nodded, smiling.
"I would give up my freedom and be stuck as a Council member, if it would keep the Railway going." Nick said with a nod.
Ktonos nodded getnly and headed through the door.

"Arlen has already tried to remove me from office, but over my dead body will he close that railroad!"

Nick sighed and shook his head.
"He must think you are a threat of some sort." Nick said.
Ktonos coughed gently.
"I'm looking for a Miss. Stirling." He said gnetly.

"He does," Norse nodded. "He treats me as though I am a zit on his face, and he's getting ready to pop me!"
"That's me," Emily stepped forward. "How can I help you?"
