Office Room 042, Slum City

"Mabel, get James Bootsiuv to my office please... Yes, right now"

As Jonathan sat back in his chair, he held the letter up to eye-level and read through it again. He was amazed anyone aboard that Barge possessed this level of eloquence. Purely on that point, inviting him over was a worthy idea.

Torn from his family, alone in the world. He couldn't help but draw parallels. There were some key differences, but their current situations were pretty much alike. Maybe he could work on that, maybe not. Time would tell.

Fly among the stars? Another good pilot in the making. Just what they needed. As he read and reread the letter, he began thinking just how promising this was. No longer alone in the room. No longer solitary in dealing with Uncle's mess. At long last, he could actually do his job properly without overextending.

He checked a small monitor on his desk, switching through the names in the display until he found the one he was looking for.

James.

Clicking on it, he found out his charge was reaching his office room. He put his feet atop the table and waited. This was going to be fun.
