The intention wasn’t to completely abandon our current settlement, since the land had been ploughed and sown, and there was ample game in the area, ...ut to use it seasonally as an annex to the proposed new settlement.The delay was also because Kim wanted to use the Gateway to transit supplies between the Kuwait site and the base. My team being in China had prevented that from happening. Kim and Koo hadn’t known when I might signal for the Gateway to open, and they’d put a stop to using the. This brought up a whole bunch of new questions I needed to think about though. What about the other people he had enslaved, were they in a similar state. What should I do with them?"Jeremy, the other people you've used the device on, are they all waiting for instructions to go to the bathroom as well?" No Master, I told them to behave as they usually would while I'm away" Did you tell them to keep this a secret?" Based on how Brenda had responded, I knew that wasn't the case. The look on his. At first I said no but they ended up insisting and I figured what the hell. As the first hand was dealt everyone threw their wager into the middle of the table until it came time for Deb to antie up. I went to throw her wager in but before I could one of the guys threw it in and told her it was a small loan and she could pay it back with her winnings. Well the beer flowed along with more whiskey until most of us were having a hard time playing. We decided to stop the game and everyone figured. Over the next two days she was distant. We didn”t speak much, and she always seemed deep in thought. I would often catch her staring at me, as if she was trying to look right through me. The third night I woke up to her standing over my bed in what was barely a night gown. When she realized I was awake, she bolted from the room. Needless to say I was confused. The fourth day, I went and explored the city a little bit. I got home around eight and she was already drunk. I really need to talk to.
