Tracy Island, 24th February 2068

"Tracy Island ahead, please fasten your seat belts for landing," Tin-Tin called from the cockpit. All three passengers fastened their belts and looked out of the windows as Tracy Island appeared.

This is it, thought Kat. This is where my life changes forever.

Tin-Tin taxied the plane to the end of the runway near the cliff. The doors were opened, Kat scrambled out still clutching her guitar.

"May I on behalf of my father, welcome you all to Tracy Island," John said.

All three of them followed him, struggling with some of their luggage, through a wide door and entered a large cargo style lift. The lift carried them up to a wide patio

Kat followed John. She looked around her. Everything was a blaze of colour. Plants, the like of which she had never known existed, blossomed everywhere. The tropical breeze swayed palm trees and looking into the distance, she saw a white, sandy beach.

"It's such a large island, but where are the fleet of vehicles I shall be helping with?" she asked John.

John responded. "I will show you them once you have had time to settle in and have a rest."

Grandma Tracy was there to welcome them. She looked at the other two already seated. Kyrano had brought in some tea and refreshments. Suddenly Kat realised how hungry she was.

"Did you have a pleasant journey?" Grandma asked them. All three nodded and said yes they had.

Mrs. Tracy continued, "While you are having something to eat, let's take care of your living accommodations. All of you will have an apartment, located here in the Cliff House. It's furnished with the basics and you'll each have an allowance to order what you like to change or add to what is there."

She brought out a small basket containing some key cards. "Please take one. This is the fairest way we could think up to hand out the apartments."

Each drew out a key and she took note of who had drawn which apartment.

"John, Tin-Tin and I will show you to your apartments now and help you with your luggage. I'm afraid my son is currently away on business, but as soon as he is back, he will give you a welcome tour and talk," she explained further.

Kat was shown to her apartment by Grandma and Kyrano followed shortly after with her luggage. "Please make yourself at home," Grandma said. "A tour of the island has been arranged for you once you have settled in and have had a rest."

"I thought Mr Tracy was going to show us all round, when he arrived back?" Kat asked.

"I have instructions that you are to be shown around as soon as you are settled in," was the reply.

Left on her own to unpack, Kat looked around the apartment. It was so roomy and airy. She went into the bedroom; the bed looked enormous. It was just as well that Lady Penelope had insisted on double sized sheets. She opened the windows onto the balcony and looked out at the blue sea shimmering in the heat. A row of palm trees lined a route down to the beach. It was so beautiful. She felt immensely happy that she had got this opportunity to work in such a wonderful location.

Reluctantly returning to the room and the business of unpacking, she began putting her things away. She had brought three suitcases of clothes, but they just looked lost in the dresser drawers and hanging space. She looked at her bib and brace overalls and wondered how soon she would need them. She hoped very soon; she was still curious about what kinds of vessels and aircraft she'd be working on and where they were kept.

Following a short rest, Kat showered and changed into something slightly cooler, a pair of shorts and a sleeveless T-shirt. She had just finished putting her things away and was exploring the kitchen cabinets when the door chimed. She walked over and pressed her hand into the scanner. The door slid open and John appeared.

"Oh, hi, are you going to show me around?"

"May I come in before I show you around? Father is sorry that he is unable to take you around himself and has asked me to show you instead."

"Okay," said Kat.

"Kat, before we go on the tour, there's something important I need to tell you," he began. "Although you have been recruited as a mechanic for our family fleet of vehicles, that is not the whole story. My family is also International Rescue."

Kat swallowed hard. International Rescue, she had heard of them, of the marvellous rescues they carried out, of the secrecy that surrounded them.

Kat looked hard at John. "Yes, I have."

"Well, my father is head of International Rescue and Tracy Island is the headquarters," John explained. "The work of International Rescue is increasing and Dad felt that the time was right to recruit more personnel. That's why you are here."
