Mystique was in her office and doing an inspection of her farm. She was a hands on type person but she had to gather information from her workers about various areas and it was much more efficient to do by her round office.<br/><br/><div style="margin:20px; margin-top:5px"><div class="quotetitle"><input class="button2 btnlite" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';      this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Show'; }" style="text-align:center;width:100px;margin:0px;padding:0px;" type="button" value="Show"/></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;"><a class="postlink" href="http://s1088.photobucket.com/user/TheCreator7/media/400-%20Props/Futuristic%20Farming/HorAgricWmn_zpsdb99bd06.jpg.html"></a><a class="postlink" href="http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/TheCreator7/400-%20Props/Futuristic%20Farming/HorAgricWmn_zpsdb99bd06.jpg">[ img ]</a></div></div></div><br/><br/>"Juan, what is the status report for the tomatoes? Send it immediately to the round office immediately. " She called each supervisor and before 10 minutes had passed the reports started coming in complete with each plot that was under that supervisor. She had them up on her wide screen monitor in comparison mode. She had instituted a contest between the supervisors with a surprise gift in store for one of them.<br/><br/>Mystique looked at all of the reports and came to a conclusion that Manuel was the clear loser....... And he was a favorite of hers! All is fair in love and war. His plots were not up to par let alone superior to any of the others. She reached for the company mike.<br/><br/>"All Garden Staff, please report to the Round Conference room immediately." she clicked off and went to the door way to wait for her Garden Staff to arrive. Once everyone was place, Mystique walked up to the podium. She had a broad smile on her face.<br/><br/>"Manuel, please step forward. I have reviewed the results of the reports of the crops. I also have the results of the first contest." she began as Manuel stepped forward only to have guards surround him.<br/>"Manuel, you are the first loser of this contest. Catch!"<br/>Mystique threw an old leather boot at Manuel who caught it with wide unbelieving eyes as the guards literally picked Manuel up by his elbows and carried him out of her sight but not out of her hearing<br/><br/>"But you said that I was the best!........" came floating back at her.<br/><br/>"I have one remaining boot to give out so I'd suggest that you had better get busy before you win the next award." she snapped at the rest of the Gardeners who scurried off with pushing and shoving to get back to work before anyone else just in case that was one of the criteria of the contest. Plenty fo time to talk later......<br/><br/>Mystique smiled as she watched them jostling each other to get out of the door. Now she had the headache of reorganizing the plots to new heads that were left. Of course she would do this fairly and use it as a reward or perhaps an added benefit?<br/>Mystique went back inside her office where she began to go through the reports more thoroughly and her guards knew that she was not to be disturbed under no circumstances.
