## Hurricane

After the difficulties and complications with their previous run, solving Fran's murder, they all need a nice simple run where everything goes like it is suppose to.

### First Emergency Run

Hurricane begins with an emergency handover from Morton to Amber. The problem is at the level 67 beach in the maintenance area. Because of Morton's ill health he is unable to handle the physical demands of the beach level maintenance area.

Everyone on her team is thinking:

This is something that has bothered Amber since she came out of lottery and learned that she is a telepath as the other other telepaths are the only ones that could relate to her and what she is going through.

It is a relief for her when they arrive but after the hand over she is faced with one of her biggest fears, climbing very steep ladders to get to where she needs to be. When she located the maintenance worker that is having a crises, she discovers that there is a 10 year old girl with him. The target, Irwin, believes that the little girl with him is his daughter, Christie, but it is actually, Glenna, a 10 year old girl that was enjoying the beach on her Freedom Day. Irwin had invited her for ice cream and to check out the wave machines.

There is a discussion among the strike team members, especially the ones that were imprinted for strike team leader position, about what they had done on their Freedom day and how that is often an indicator of what will be their future role in for the hive. Glenna's decision to go to the beach breaking four boundaries from her home zone to get there and four to get back home on her Freedom day impresses Lucas, but it also complicates how they handle her. Normally the procedure would be to reset her memories to prior to going to the beach, but Freedom day is to important of a day for her to forget as a result Buzz hypnotizes her to makes her go think that it was all a dream with the light and dark angels playing a role.

Lucas comes up with a scenario that will distract Irwin and get Glenna to run away from him and toward Adika, while the other strike team members stun Irwin. This works well, except one of the strike team members, Zak, was stabbed while taking Irwin down and has to go to emergency medical, Rafael goes with him.

### Morton

After Amber is finished with the hand over run and returns to her unit, Morton calls her in their secret way. He indicated that he was calling to thank her, but after warning her not to use Sapphire as a role model, he starts talking to her about the danger of going outside. Morton seems to be very afraid of "outside" and says that he will never leave the hive again. He then starts questioning her on her spending both day and night outside and if she was sure that it didn't change her somehow. Amber realizes that spending time outside of the hive does change people but not in the same way that Morton meant. The grip of the childhood Halloween stories that he heard was too strong on him and he can't shake the stories of the "Hunter of souls", so instead of trying to reassure Moron that she had been recruited by the "Dark Angel", she sings the Hive Duty song #10 which proves that she is still utterly loyal to the hive.

“*The Hive is our world.*
It houses and feeds us.

The Hive is our world.

It guards and protects us*.”*

This reassures Morton, but when Amber asks him why telephaths can never meet, he refuses to answer her and tells her that she needs to learn to control her curiosity.

### Atticus

Eli is concerned about having to have his leg operated on again to remove scar tissue build up and he is loosing sleep over it. Amber has seen this in his mind so she talks to him about her talking to his doctor to get the answers that he needs but is to afraid to ask for. Eli agrees so Amber schedules an appointment with Eli's doctor. when the surgeon arrives, Amber discovers that it is her old friend Atticus from her corridor group.

Amber is stunned and Adika is suspicious when the discover that Atticus is aware that Amber is a true telepath and what their unit really does. When they discover that Atticus is Morton's doctor and has treated Mira it makes more sense.

Lucas realizes that there is a lot of similarities between him and Atticus and he immediately has self-doubts about him and Amber, but Amber reassures him that Atticus is the pale copy of Lucas.

### Sea Farm

Hive England's Sea Farm has a series problem that has resulted in one death so far and a host of malicious pranks. Likely suspects have been sent to the Hive for Morton to read their minds but the culprit hasn't been found yet. For four decades, Morton has found it difficult and stressful to read their minds. Soon after Amber and Morton talked, Morton decides that he isn't going to read their minds any long and that the responsibilities should be handed over to Amber since she has successfully acclimated to going outside.

#### Juniper

Juniper, who was caught in one of the malicious traps that someone at the Sea Farm had set, was in the hive for repairs to her mangled arm, when Amber was asked to take over the Sea Farm from Morton. Because Morton had always found reading the Sea Farm peoples mind difficult and unsettling, Lucas wanted Amber to read Juniper's mind before she agreed to the increased responsibilities. Lucas arranged for Juniper to be moved to one of the unit's holding cells before going back to the sea farm. While she was waiting she pieced together what was going on and forced Amber to relive the mangling of her arm, all while she was having a claustrophobic attack.

Amber did find that Juniper's mind was much different from the normal Hive inhabitant's mind, as it was expanded in scope and contained unfamiliar images but she determined that it was because Juniper and the other Sea Farm people were exposed to the entire world and their learning wasn't as restricted as the hive population. Amber didn't see that as a problem and speculated that her own mind was probably much different then it was before going into lottery.

#### Admiral Tregereth

Admiral Tregereth is in charge of the entire Sea Farm, when the problems at the sea farm escalate he comes to the Hive to consult with Gold Commander Melisande. Melisande brings him to Amber's team leader meeting that was held after she read Juniper's mind and met her.

Despite Lucas's objections, Melisande is determined that Amber takes her entire unit to the Sea Farm to get to the bottom of the problems there. Since most of their supplies were still packed away from their trip to Hive Futura they were able to leave the next day. Admiral Tregereth decided to wait to return to the Sea Farm and go with them. While on the plane flying over the Sea Farm, Tregereth described the different areas of the farm and what they do. While he was describing everything, Amber read his mind, and was able to explain things to the rest of the unit in terms they would understand better.

### Events

When they arrive they discover a mini hive called "Haven" but that no one lives in it. It is built into the side of a hill instead of being totally buried and the top level which has views of outside is where the Sea Farm's administrative offices are. Amber's unit is assigned to an area at the bottom which has it's own outside entrance and exit, through a glass enclosed space. There were also a lot of corridors and rooms without any windows so those that have not acclimated to the outside yet would be able to no be exposed to a view.

Their area has not be inhabited for a very long time, if ever and it is filthy so the cleaning staff, with some helpers get to work right away.

Because the entire medical staff also went, Zak had to come along. So the first thing the cleaners did was prepare a room for Zak, including bringing in some of the furniture that was delivered to them. A short while later, Amber started getting an itch in her mind, which always warns her that someone close to her is in danger. She does a quick circuit to find out who and discovers that Zak is the one in trouble. They rush to his room and find that he is unconscious.

One of the first theories is that a member of the Sea Farm Security is the culprit, but that is soon discarded when Amber reads the minds of the higher ranking members. But after Amber reads the leader and deputies minds and cleared them.

Eventually after a third death they set a trap and catch the killer while everyone is sheltering at the "Haven" during a hurricane. They had figured out that there were two people involved in the malicious traps and third person doing the killing.

At the end, Amber stands on the beach to clear her mind of all traces of fragments before returning to the hive.

Upon returning to the Hive, Amber calls Morton and tells him that she has a message for him from "Celandine". He then tells
her why telepaths can never meet and explains about the rules of passing on that information.
