Skylar and Reed limit the advertising for candidates to their main site. One of the agreements with the Knight and his comrades was to send no more than 25 test subjects to determine whether they could adapt to the new planet's environment. The big proviso is that they must understand clearly that they can never return to earth. Mirabella has been busy learning the earthen cultures the first week as she waits to see how many applicants there will be. Skylar and Reed are pleased that they have over 100 individuals showing interest. From the applications filled out, they have a very wide variety of backgrounds to choose from, should they pass Mirabella's tests. The day arrives. The first group of 10 have been assembled in the hallway outside an office set aside for Mirabella's reviews. Skylar is quite excited at these prospects as he waits in the office. He wants to see Mirabella in action. He and Reed have been doing so much charity with their trust. But there is only so much you can do with this kind of setup. Now they might be able to do something really constructive for these people rather than just feed, cloth and shelter them. If this works out, it could open a whole new paradigm for the homeless of the world. The interview process takes about half an hour for each applicant. Mirabella wants to get a really good read on each one. She doesn't wish to make any mistakes in such a serious undertaking! At the end of the day, she goes over her results with Reed and Skylar. Of these first 10, only 2 have met with the minimum expectations Mirabella has developed. Skylar is disappointed but Reed is more pragmatic. He isn't surprised. He knows there are a lot of disenfranchised people circulating around out there. Many of them haven't had a stable environment for years. It takes a lot of character to come through all the rejection and setbacks of homeless life and still be able to give a good accounting of oneself. Perhaps the next groups will provide better material. 'We can only hope.' mumbles Skylar. M4, V4 and other characters. Rendered in Poser Pro 2014. Post work in Photoshop 7.
