“Settle down, everyone. We’re about to start - thank you, thank you.” Jade tries to grab the attention of the various sorters, guides, orderlies, record keepers, and technicians in her pod as she commences session one of the meeting of the Disturbers. The crowds had gotten so large, that due to limited space, her and Evander decided to do multiple sessions so that everyone could fit in at some point and get the information and updates they need. Although, that conversation happened before their fight, which left them both feeling both frustrated and drained. Regardless of any of their personal feelings, the importance of their work vastly outweighs it. They know they must stay focused on what is really important: rallying the Disturbers together and appointing a replacement for Zephyr before he becomes completely obsolete.

“As you may know, Zephyr is getting weaker and weaker every day.” The crowd answers back in an excited chorus, pumping their fists in the air and cheering.

“Yes, it is exciting how close we are getting to putting this plan into action, but before we can do so, there is a matter of utter importance to attend to first.” She pauses for a moment before beginning the speech she had meticulously prepared beforehand.

“Evander has told me that he has spoken with his sector of the coalition, and that they have technically all decided on a new leader.”

The crowd erupts in questioning murmurs. “Who is it? What’d they decide?” One of the younger sorters yells from her spot near Jade’s water cooler.

“Well, this suggestion to me, seems extremely improbable - you see, they chose someone… who not only has not been here in a while, but also has a history of getting caught up in human-like emotions, and making snap decisions because of that. Do those things sound like sufficient qualifications to lead not only the entire Upperworld, but the entire human race, present and future?”

The crowd murmurs some more, and some of the bolder ones yell angrily, some even resorting to expletives that they likely learned through their human studies courses.

“That’s what I thought - I agree with you there. I should tell you, if you haven’t figured it out yet… the candidate in question… is Onyx.”

At the exact moment she utters his name, the crowd explodes with anger, distaste, and shock:

“He’s not our leader!”

“Why would they want him?”

“He’s part humanoid, that’s just not natural…”

“There’s no way he’s cut out for this.”

“Jade, what are we going to do?”

A small, devious smile threatens to emote on Jade’s lips, but she keeps it under wraps in order to maintain her professional position of leadership.

“Well, there’s no need to fret… because there is another option…”

An excited murmur is heard over the crowd, but they quickly quiet down to find out who the alternative is.

“Me. I am eligible to be the leader. I hereby nominate myself for the highest position of prestige in the Upperworld - that of Most High Being.”

The crowd of Upperworld beings is completely silent for what
