<strong>Name:</strong>Lord Alan Ardington of Carindel<br/>(https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS6bnRlMmSpZbVNCKNJZJoVoaW9kV2Zyhjvi3vpucx_PMQf0uks)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Country Road 923<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Day 1, night<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Richard Waldric<br/><br/><br/>“Rodger that” Richard said into the tiny microphone in his ear. Ardington adjusted his shirt pulling it down, and pulled at his pants.<br/><br/>“These clothes are wrong I think” He said to Richard, “I don’t think they are supposed to be clutching my skin so tight. It’s suffocating.” He readjusted them again.<br/><br/>“My lord, this is the style of this era. Clothing are supposed to fit tighter, and be more pliable.” Richard responded.<br/><br/>“It’s not right” He said pulling at the color around his neck.<br/><br/>“There is a man at the local tavern who has readied a new set of credentials. People are now given numbers since birth, and to avoid suspicion we have set you up with an ID, Birth Certificate, Social Security Number, Bank Statements, Credit Cards, and a Masters Degree.” He explained as they walked towards the Black BMW hidden alongside the road, under the cover of the darkness.<br/><br/>“I’m not going to lie and pretend I understood any of that.” He said fixing his clothing again, the briefs that he had put on felt irritably strange. Richard laughed, a hearty laugh, as he came up to the vehicle and opened the door.<br/><br/>“Your chariot, my lord” Ardington was confused on where the horses were exactly. All of this seemed rather strange yet enticing at the same time. Richard waved his hand for him to climb in. Reluctantly he bent over and climbed into the seat of the horse less chariot. Richard closed the door and walked over to the other side, and climbed in. “A lot of things are different” He said turning the key in the ignition. It let out a silent roar.<br/><br/>“So it seems” He said examining the interior of the vehicle. Richard shifted into reverse and spun the vehicle around so that t faced the town.<br/><br/>“For instance not many go by titles anymore, it is common to use first names. To avoid suspicion, I will refrain from calling you lord. You understand, sir?” Ardington nodded. “I will now be addressing you as Doctor Ardngton, or Alan.”<br/><br/>“Doctor?” Ardington sad confused<br/><br/>“Think of it as an apothecary my lord.”<br/><br/>“Ah, and my order?”<br/><br/>“The Council of the Phoenix has preserved itself well through the ages, but most people now hardly remember the old ways, and it now has many humans in it.”<br/><br/>“It will need some improvements I see”<br/><br/>“Oh and one last thing, we had invented a way to harvest lightning in the form of Electricity about 200 or so years ago. The humans want to believe they made it but rarely do they know who is actually running things.”<br/><br/>“What is this Electricity?”<br/><br/>“Electricity is the science, engineering, technology and physical phenomena associated with the presence and flow of electric charges. Electricity gives a wide variety of well-known electrical effects, such as lightning, static electricity, electromagnetic induction and the flow of electrical current in an electrical wire. In addition, electricity permits the creation and reception of electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves. though advances in the science were not made until the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Practical applications for electricity however remained few, and it would not be until the late nineteenth century that engineers were able to put it to industrial and residential use. The rapid expansion in electrical technology at this time transformed industry and society. Electricity's extraordinary versatility as a means of providing energy means it can be put to an almost limitless set of applications which include transport, heating, lighting, communications, and computation. Electrical power is the backbone of modern industrial society, and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future”<br/><br/>“Fascinating, and that explains this chariot without horses?”<br/><br/>“Exactly, It’s also used to create light, in the form of a bulb, much more useful than a torch or a lantern. In most cases one bulb can light an entire room.” Richard finished.<br/><br/>“I simply must see this” Ardington said a feeling of excitement in his throat. The vehicle came to a stop.<br/><br/>“You will.” He said climbing out of the vehicle, he opened the door for Ardington and they stepped out into the night. The porch light of the tavern shined like a beacon, in the darkness. They climbed the steps and stepped in through the door. The tavern was buzzing with activity. Richard made his way through the crowd to a far table, leading Ardington along. They sat down and waited for the man they were to meet.<br/>
