At the Docks

(October 14, 2357)
At the docks in Antodlos is Don, Greg and Tony preparing for the departure of one of the larger freight ships.  They discuss the large amounts of supplies that just arrived. Don asks Tony if he ever wondered what was in the cargo boxes. Greg says shipping crates and Tony says who cares maybe it's some new housing project.  Tony continues by talking about the need for a new addition on his house since his wife just had a new baby. Don asks so how many kids due you have anyway. Tony says 6, 3 boys and now 3 girls.  Greg says to Tony what was your new daughters designation Tony says MS3.

Don says Marine Scientist, I also have 2 daughters  who will be Marine Scientist but they have both been assigned to section 2. Greg says my 2 son's are both following my foot steps and will soon be working down here with me at DW1's.  "Great" says Don.  My oldest son will be in training here soon too. 

Just then the final horn blows that the boat will be leaving the dock.

Don, Greg and Tony take a lunch break at the nearby Delicatessen where Margaret works.  All the Dock workers enjoy the food and company at Margaret's.  Margaret is a older lady but has her entire family working at the Deli, Suzie, Vicky, Carol, Joe and her husband Bart.  This is common on the island where entire families run the business for generations.  After Don, Greg and Tony select/order their food Don offers to buy the guys lunch today and places his had on the flat bed scanner authorization the debt to his monthly salary.

 During their lunch many dock workers come and go through the deli and greet the guys eating their lunch talking about the number of ships unloaded during the last week.  Suzie the oldest of Margaret's daughter asks Tony if Scott (Tony's oldest son) is working today. Tony jokes with Suzie that he was having lunch with Greg's oldest daughter and Suzie turned up her nose and stormed away.  The guys were laughing when Scott walked in and asked "Hay what's so funny"?  Just then Suzie slammed a door and gave Scott a dirty look.  As Scott walked over to hug Suzie the Guys again started to Laugh. 

Don, Greg and Tony went out side to resume work just in time when a new arrival of crates were being deliverd on the dock from Seaville.

Mark the driver gave a holler to the guys to get to work.  Don jumped in a forklift and grabbed a load of crates labeled Shrimp. Greg and Tony opened up a 40' container that was refrigerated.

Several other truck continue to arrive and in the background we can see a ship leaving and arriving the dock at Antodlos.

 

NEW DAY GOES HERE
