Fernando looks at Jeanette as if some alien sucked out her intelligence from the back of her head with a straw. He then pulls on Macey’s black haired ponytail and flings it at Jeanette, and lift up her arm and points to the near bleach white skin she has before showing the same attributes on himself. “Really? You got to be joking. About a third or a fourth of the people out here are black haired and white skinned, like we are. Either they see something else in Penny that you and the other do not, or they are messing with your mind or they seen Penny before with that guy who left her for you and he said she’s a spirit and they remembered.”
 
After listening to Moro’s statement, Fernando goes into one of the bags on the pull cart Hondo was hauling  and pulls out a bottle of Skunk Scent and tosses it to her. Lucky for her she catches it and looks at it, reading its label.
 
“Pop the cap off that and sniff in some reality juice. Nothing you do will fix this world unless you deal with what you got here and now.” Fernando begins to tell her, “Go back in Time and make ‘an adjustment’ you create the possibility of killing one or more of us here from this Time Line. You want to play Russian Roulette with Father Time and Mother Nature, you make sure I’m the one that is eliminated or else I will remember and find out who is missing, and then you better hope it is you because I’m going to be pissed. There is no hope for this world other than to destroy it entirely or let it rebuild from the ashes, and the people we met so far and those we have yet to meet are already doing the best they can in that. All they need is more law and order and more civility so they can stop hunting down their own kind and bringing back slavery and other evils. People are free to decide on their own destiny, and you nor I are going to change that. Just help them along in their life’s quest. I’m not going to make such changes that endangers anyone, including those of us standing here. So your only choice is to deal with it or hop on that space ship of yours and leave this solar system and never to return. The choice is yours. I’m going to rest up for a bit, then I need all the drivers to meet up about our next destination, for it can be a short drive or a long drive heading south for tonight.”

Jeanette turns to Moro. "You said the reason the clerk asked if Penny is a Spirit is because of her hair."
 
"Penny fits the physical description of a Spirit in human form. What else could it be?" Moro says and asks.
 
 
Having read the label, Moro does not remove the cap. "We wanted your input and we got it. We won't fix the time line when the mission is over. We will do with what we have, minus any technology you don't want used. The exception to that is we will use everything at our disposal to protect those who want our protection. Jeanette wants our protection. You and Hondo said you don't want it."
 
"What do you mean it can be short drive or a long drive? Jeanette asks. "Are we considering two possible destinations?"
 
Jeanette Isabelle

"They either see something in Penny that you do not or that guy she was with, they were here for day or longer as he looked for a job before meeting with you, he must have said something about Penny being what she is and they remember who she is. Have you even measure her for her human attributes: the span of her stretched arms is equal to her height, the circumference of her cranium is equal to three times the span of her thumb to pinkie stretched out, the circumference of neck is equal to three times the distance from her thumb to her index finger, the length of her upper arm from shoulder to elbow is the same as the length from her elbow to her finger tips and is also the same length of her thigh from hip to knee. There are about 20 of them, and they must be equal to something else by some ratio and if they all correspond then she is human. If not, she's something else. People are a lot more observant than you give them credit for, especially now with no internet and very limited TV and Radio. Just roughly looking at Penny, she seems human for the most part. So it is something else or what's his name told others as he tried to sell her and nobody wanted her because of that fact." Fernando explains to Jeanette.
 
"Nobody deserves to die outside of their time, Moro. Making adjustments to the Time line, you are just killing people left and right because you can't handle dealing with what has happened. You want to kill off Elsa, Mavis or Jeanette? That is the possibility you risk gambling on when you reset this world. Who knows, I will dare speculate that you might have killed off Jeanette's child because in her time she could have entered into a relationship and got pregnant in that relationship and bringing her here, you now put an end to that! Time Travel is something you do not muck with unless you are correcting something that creates a Mandella Effect somebody else created through their interference of time." He continues.
 
"You want to help? I'll give you this much, this area from its historical reference of my memory is loaded with secret bases and military outposts, many of them underground, only showing a scant few buildings above, like this place. Ahead of us is five towns. One no one goes to because people claim, 'you go there, you disappear.' We will call that Town Zero, according to the convoy map, though it is along the road, it is skipped. First and second towns are much like this one but smaller, the first is about 75 miles away and the second town is around 200 miles away with an Indian settlement near it. These are a short drive. The third town is more like the last one, like a settlement with buildings and homes, but it is referred to as 'Fight Town' where people go there and partake in the violent sport of fighting for cash prizes. You go in and fight, you need to win to collect the prize or in losing, you might die. And who knows what other debauchery goes on in there. That one is over 250 miles away. Then there is the fourth town about 320 miles away which some people say it is a secret lab or organization, where and I quote 'men in white coats and dark glasses worship technology there.' Convoy only goes there and they buy out everything in a single shot, and then they are told to leave. If they don't they disappear. It is also rumored that Wessens are created there and released or sold. So how are the wessens are created?  I need aerial maps of the town, including infrared and ultraviolet images of the area to see of there are underground tunnels. So, after I rest, we discuss what town to go to next and why. Just remember, the further south we go on these hops, the quicker we get to our destination."

"I would not call them maps, but yes. You have the ships and the technology but you stated that basically your short range sensors sucks. You maps would only show what is there on the surface, I'm asking for more detailed than that. Infrared and microwave scans will show things that are underground by the heat they generate, and ultraviolet scans what material covers what so if there is a new road begins where an old road ends, it would show it. This type of information would give me intel about the place before stepping inside. You do not have the indoor information I so seek." Fernando explains.
 
He continues,"Freedom of religion is just that - ability to practice your religion and pray to the god(s) of your choice within the laws of your community and government without worry or fear of persecution by others. The point is - within the laws. If your religion calls for ritual sacrifice of the lives of others, then that goes against the laws of community and government and is not allowed. But any government telling how to pray and preach in such a way that they created the religion, is no religion at all. So, what does not work?"

"In Israel you still have Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Polytheists, Shintoism, Agnostics, Atheists, and Satanism though Judaism provides the government, the laws and the enforcement thereof, they do so fairly and justly. Even among themselves, the Jews hate Chasidic Jews because they are the ones that causes the most problems on many social and economic levels for Israel. But they are not shunned by the community but as hard as they try, they will never be elected into office either." Fernando explains.
 
He continues, "When one says map, I think of digital or paper rendition of the local area up to hundreds of miles where possible. I'm wanting of Intel, up to date information of what they have through the sensors one uses. For a cheap IR Digital Camera - focus the camera to the area you want and freeze while it is on. As it gets cold, the CCD Sensor in the camera will drop its frequency response from visual light to infrared. I'm not asking for live information, that is what my biological sensors are for as technology has a bad habit of failing when you need it the most. But paper remains intact in the worst of conditions, and that is all I need. I need my technology for other things if we decide to go in. Now, excuse me, the girls need to eat and I need an hour's rest before we continue."
 
As Fernando walks away to Hondo's camper, Karl walks to his camper, saying out loud, "I don't think it is a good idea for us to go there."
