Tracy Island, 26th February 2068

Kat had finally managed to put her things away, and the apartment was looking more like home. She had put up the curtains at the French windows, and hung her pictures on the walls in the sitting room.

Not sure of what was expected of her, she decided to ring Lady Penelope.

Dialing Lady Penelope's number, she saw the all-too-familiar face of Parker.

"Hi, Parker, is Lady Penelope at home?"

"Why, Miss Kat, 'ow nice to 'ear from you. I was just talking to 'er Ladyship yesterday, and wondering 'ow you were getting on."

Lady Penelope's attractive face came into view.

"Kat, my dear, how lovely to hear from you. Settling in well, I hope?"

Kat grinned, "Yes, actually. I have been brought au courant with the real goings-on here. I have to admit that it all came as quite a shock. In fact, John showed me around and I am afraid I gave him quite a hard time. But of course you knew all along, didn't you?"

Lady Penelope looked at Kat. "Yes, I must admit I am aware of Tracy Island's secrets, and am sorry I could not say anything. I would have loved to have taken you into my confidence, but my hands were really tied."

"I can understand that now. What really hurt more than anything was that I knew the Tracy family, and they knew of me; we met at your New Year's Eve Party. Surely knowing all that, Mr Tracy could have told me at my interview. Still, as John told me, even Dr. Tracy wasn't let in on the secret at first." She sighed, then straightened and smiled. "Well, that is all water under the bridge now. I am well and truly here, and here to stay."

"So, what are your first impressions?" Lady Penelope asked.

"Gosh, I really don't know where to begin."

"John showed me around Thunderbird 2's hangar, and while we were there, Thunderbird 2 came back from a rescue. Gosh, that was awesome." She hugged herself with delight. "I shall primarily be helping with the boats and the seaplane. That boat pen is something quite unbelievable. Then we went to see the planes and jet. I asked question after question. John was very patient. I didn't really have time to thank him properly. I must do so."

Suddenly the door chimed. "Looks like someone is visiting me. I shall have to go. I will call you again."

"Yes, do, I want to know everything that you are doing," replied Lady Penelope.

Kat went to the door, standing there was Callie.

"I'm just going to the lab to see Brains, wondered if you would like to join me?"

"Yes, would love to." And shutting the door behind her, she followed Callie on to the monorail and headed for Brains' lab.

They hadn't been there very long, when a long siren noise was heard. Both girls jumped at the noise. "What is that?" Callie asked.

"It's the emergency signal," Brains explained. "It means that a rescue is being planned. We must go to the main house at once."

They arrived, rather breathless, to find Scott, Virgil and Dianne preparing to leave.

"What's happened?" Brains asked.

"It's Dad," Gordon explained. "Seems he has crashed while flying through an ice storm in New Hampshire."

"What was he doing there?"

"That's exactly what we would all like to know," John answered.

Kat watched in awe at how Scott, Dianne and Virgil left the room followed by Gordon, Brandon and Dom, the latter two looking slightly nervous.

John was talking to someone via the radio. He looked up and smiled at Kat.

"I bet you didn't think you would be getting first hand experience of a rescue quite so soon," Brains said. Kat nodded, but she noticed the worry in his voice.
