Friday, July 13, 2068, 2:30 p.m., Tracy Island

A sudden beeping made Jeff look up from the email he was writing to the Human Relations office in New York. A small window popped up on his computer screen, with the words, "Unauthorized Approach" flashing on it in bright red.

I'm glad we were able to ditch that screen behind Alan's portrait, he thought as he expanded the box. Now, who do we have coming in for a visit? There's nobody scheduled for today, and the mail plane has already been and gone.

He waited to see if the plane's identification code would flash up in his window, and when it didn't, he turned and opened communications.

"Tracy Island to unidentified aircraft. Please identify. I repeat, please identify."

There was a crackle of static, then a female voice cut in. "Tracy Island, this is Tracy Industries cargo flight 702, requesting permission to land."

"Flight 702?" Jeff muttered. He bounced his computer back to his email box, then the flight schedule for the surrounding airports and Tracy Island facilities. Finding nothing, he went back to the radio. "Flight 702, please confirm point of origin."

"Tracy Island, we are out of Los Angeles, with a stopover in Honolulu," the pilot replied. "We have freight destined for your location. Name on the packing order is Tin-Tin Kyrano."

"Please hold, Flight 702, while I confirm things on our end." Jeff hurriedly called down to the lab. "Tin-Tin? Are you there?"

"Yes, Mr. Tracy." Her voice came floating back up to his intercom. "Is there something I can help you with?"

"I have a cargo plane, purporting to be from Tracy Industries, carrying freight with your name on the packing slip. Any notion what it could be?"

"Oh!" Tin-Tin sounded both surprised and pleased. "It must be the new Penelar uniforms! I had a message from our agent in charge of collecting the pieces on Monday. I... I'm afraid that with what happened and all... but I did forward the email." She sounded very apologetic.

"I understand, Tin-Tin." He saved his email as a draft, signed off of the corporate server and onto the IR server. "Yes, there it is, with the flight number and all. I must have missed it in all of the excitement. I'll give them permission to land, but you'd better get out there to sign for it all."

"I'll be there momentarily, Mr. Tracy. I'll make sure to bring a float, too. I expect this will be a large delivery."

"Yes, I expect so. I'll have a couple of the boys head down to the airstrip to give us a hand. See you in a few moments."

"Yes, sir."

He cut off the intercom, and went back to the radio. "Flight 702 from Tracy Island, you have landing clearance and welcome."

"Thank you, Tracy Island. Beginning approach now."

Jeff signed off the IR server, and back onto the corporate one. "I should have just enough time to finish this email about hiring another 'personal pilot'. It's time to find a replacement for Christopher Jordan."
