A Whateley Academy Tale

by null0trooper

Benjamin needs a new coat, a roommate, a clue or two, and maybe someone should inventory the rocks in his head. It's all good for something at Whateley Academy.

A/N: Thanks go out to Wasamon, Domoviye, and Amethyst for help with the Student Orientation.

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed."

Colombine has two weeks to learn the high-stakes game said employee is playing. How Benjamin plans to cash in his chips and who's looking over his shoulder remain a mystery.

Part 2: Count Zero in Concerto

A Whateley Academy Tale

by null0trooper

Just before midnight, January 6, 2017,
Elmendorf Air Force Base

"We are on standby for take-off. The seatbelt light is on. Passengers, please return to your seats if you haven't already."

Benjamin was still dead to the world, and if it weren't for his seatbelt, he would have slid out of his seat by now. Colombine amused herself by sabotaging Kota Kobayakawa's attempts to call out on his phone despite security restrictions. The various numbers he'd tried to reach could be extended into a useful exercise in social network analysis. Once they were clear of the air base and Anchorage, she let him try his luck with the extensive cell coverage in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.
