Tracy Island, April 18th - 3.10 am
The insistent buzzing of her telecomm woke Kat. Sleepily she turned to answer it. She had been having such a lovely dream, but now Brains's face brought her back to reality.
"Kat." Brains looked serious. "We have an emergency. It looks as though the island is in the direct path of a tsunami. I need you now to help with the Thunderbirds."
Kat gasped. She had read all about tsunamis and the devastation they caused. To think that such a wave was due to hit Tracy Island seemed almost unbelievable.
"Okay, Boss, give me a few minutes to dress. Are we meeting in the lounge or in the Thunderbirds hangars?"
"Meet in the lounge, and then we shall see what happens. It may be that some will have to go out on a rescue, leaving just a few behind to batten down the hatches," Brains replied.
Kat struggled into her overalls. Oh, more haste, less speed, she thought, as she fumbled with the buttons. Once dressed, she headed for the monorail, joining her other equally sleepy colleagues.
