Tracy Island, Monday April 16th 11.00 a.m.
Kat was walking towards the monorail to take her to Thunderbird Two's hangar, carrying a large bag.
"Hey, Kat, wait up," Nikki called and turning, Kat saw her three friends, Nikki, Callie and Elise.
"How did your meeting with Dr Tracy go? And what have you in your bag?" Nikki asked.
"Meeting? You've had a meeting with Dr Tracy?" Elise enquired.
Kat smiled at her friends, as they fell in step with her.
"My meeting with Dr Tracy went very well." Then for Callie's and Elise's benefit she explained.
"When I was last training with Virgil and Brains in Thunderbird Two, I fainted."
Callie gasped, "Fainted! You're not -- you know - are you?" And she gestured as though she was cradling a baby.
Kat laughed. "I know what you are trying to say and, no Callie, definitely not."
She continued. "I have a low blood sugar problem and when I haven't eaten for a while, my blood sugar can drop, causing me to pass out. I guess Virgil told his mom. Anyway the upshot is that Dr Tracy has told me to make sure that I have a good breakfast, and that I carry some glucose with me wherever I go. She has also advised me that in every Thunderbird craft there is a MRE, 'meal, ready to eat', and I have to make sure that I have a stock of food in each craft, hence my bag here. Though to be honest, I should really only need stores in Thunderbird Two."
She watched her friends. "I also hope that you will maybe nag me, to make sure that I have eaten and that I have my glucose with me."
Her three friends nodded. "Consider it done; we will certainly make sure you are okay Kat," Nikki replied.
"So what's in the bag?" Elise queried.
"Oh, Muesli bars, biscuits, boxes of cereal, cartons of long life milk."
"You had better make sure that Virgil knows that they are your special cache." Elise laughed.
"Oh, I will." Kat laughed as they parted, and she headed for Thunderbird Two.
Virgil was still working on Thunderbird Two when the young mechanic arrived. "Hey, are you bringing me a snack?" He joked.
"No, sorry; this is purely for me."
"What, all that?" he asked, staring into her bag.
"This is my MRE, as advised by Dr Tracy." Kat replied.
"Then Mom has had a word with you?"
"Yes, she has. I did think that she would send me back, but thankfully, I can stay. However, I have to promise to eat regularly and have a store on board Thunderbird Two."
"I'm glad to hear that," Virgil replied. "I am sure that Brains would not want to lose his best assistant."
Virgil showed Kat were she could store her provisions, putting up a notice explaining what they were, in case someone else ate them. Once they were stored away, Kat left calling goodbye to Virgil, who continued working on his baby.
