Helping Gwen 10

Back Home

Back on Earth December 19th

Ben needs a new jacket.

Plumber HQ Max

Proctor had handed him a mission personally. "There is a pod discovered in North Dakota. YOU are going there to open it." Max's Superior said.

"Yes sir." Max said.

"Tennyson you are dismissed."

Max was in the locker room getting his Powered suit on.

"Magister Tennyson."

"Ben?" Max asked.

"I'm on my way out but, It's cold out there so, thought you could use something you know..." Ben was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

"You don't gotta worry about anything Ben. I got my Officer's and My Recruits." Max said.

"It's...not why I'm worried." Ben said "If the location is exactly where I think..."

"We suggest when it opens you speak your full rank." Trixie said.

"So is this keeping information from Magister Tennyson or Grampa Max?"

"No it's 'I told your Proctor exactly what's there and he was bagging up the second he heard'." Ben said "I also wanted to test the range of Trixie's 'Split Decisions' Feature."

"Please call if something happens." Trixie said "With your phone Ben's Notifications show up on his HUD."

"Alright stay safe out there Officer." Max said nodded.

Ben manifested the dial on the underside of his arm and held it out. Max shook Ben's hand in an arm grip coating him in a green light.

Max looked down at his hands and up at the antenna. "Whoa." He said as the wings moved "This is Trippy."

"Your telling me." Trixie said.

"Wanna test your Recruits?" Ben asked turning into XLR8.

Hanger

The Plumber Kids were dressed in their official uniforms. The new Proto Armor had been cleared earlier in this timeline and the features were better for the temperature but Ben still couldn't help but forget his.
