 		[update] Scarlett Kite Sept. 11, 2006 - loose ends
Quote:
The strangest thing just happened. The dean's office at Marmalejo College called me early this morning and set me up for an urgent counselling session this afternoon with a curriculum specialist. Now, I'd already had my classes all picked out and registration done, and I'd actually been expecting to attend my first classes today, so I'm sure you can just imagine the state I was in! I spent all morning feeling queasy worrying over whether my exams last week weren't as good as I had thought, and I might not be allowed to take the courses I'd picked!

So this afternoon at the appointed time I got to campus and was ushered into the office of one Jonathan Kamedin, a short, blonde man with a weedy little moustache and bristles of hair sticking out all over his head. He was very friendly, didn't act at all like I was about to have my courses pulled out from under me, so I started to relax a little bit. Once he had me settled, he just sort of sat there beaming at me for a minute, until I couldn't take it anymore.

"What is this all about?" I asked.
"Oh! Oh, oh, of course! It's about your placement exams."
My heart sank a little. "Were they so bad?"
"No, goodness, not at all!" He seemed genuinely startled. "In fact, the college is very impressed with your scores, very impressed indeed!"
I think I just sat there blinking at him for a moment.
"In fact, the college feels that, given the advances you made on your own over the past year, you are clearly the sort of student who excels in an independent study environment," he said. "You were traveling in Tanraga over the last semester, were you not?"
I nodded.
"Well, your placement exams came back so very high," he said, "We would very strongly like to encourage you to withdraw from your registered courseload and continue on this semester as you did last semester. it was clearly very beneficial to you, truly impressive!"
"Withdraw?" I asked.
"Well, of course you would need to take another round of placement exams mid-year," he said. "But the evidence shows us that your education would be vastly hindered by restricting you to regular classes. Freedom! That's clearly best for you!"
"So you don't want me in classes this term?"
"Clearly not!" he said. "I'll just go ahead and cancel your existing schedule right now, it's very obviously the best thing for you."
I nodded again, I mean what else could I possibly say? And that was pretty much that!
So... it looks like I have a lot more free time on my hands the coming term than I'd expected. I'm a little upset about it, actually, because I'd really been looking forward to having regular courses with my friends again, and getting back into something like my regular life. And now I have this gaping hole of free time to fill with some kind of independent study. Sometimes it feels like nothing is ever going to be normal ever again.

 		Hmmm.......Someone trying to keep her out of the way, maybe. Sente pulling strings? Or somebody else? That last line seems terribly ominous.

Exactly what I just thought, seems very strange.

 		Scarlett must have impressed the PXC MI5 or KGB with her sleuthing skills during the Summer and will shortly be recruited as Scarlett Bond, licence to 'borrow' your favorite coat.

Either that or the school is just worried about her ability to attract trouble.

 		I would be easier to make some one "disappear" if they got no strong ties like say having to go to collage. mmmm

 		Someone definitely wants her out of the way. The question is, is it to keep her safe or to put her right where they want her? (The other question, being of course, who's doing is this?)

 		I don't think this is any more sinister than Sente trying to keep his youngest out of harms way. He does seem to know rather more about what's going on than he reveals to his kids.
