Boimler was curious about the planet, but he had to wait until the end of his shift. He was also concerned about the report of the rogue Klingons. “What do you think is going to happen?” he asked Barnes.

Excerpt from: Middleton and Bonnie Rockwaller’s Genie
The Principal was not aware of the secret meeting that was taking place beneath the school during the last period of the school day.

The attendees of the meeting were students, who had been excused from class for a variety of reasons, and two or three teachers who didn’t have a class for that period...

“Now, does everyone understand what you need to do?” the convener of the meeting, who stood in a shadow that the meagre lights of the room did not reach, asked.

“Yes!” the teachers, and most of the students, said enthusiastically.

“Yes, Of course I do. There was no need for the repetition,” the remaining student said. As she had been sitting separately from everyone else, she quickly exited the room.

“Excellent! Meeting is adjourned,” the convener said.


The students who attended the meeting then returned to their classes via various secret passageways beneath the school buildings, re-emerging into the corridors, or the basement, where the Principal’s cameras had blind spots.

The last of the students whom had attended the secret meeting had returned to their classes 20 minutes before school finished for the day.


Bonnie Rockwaller, sophomore, and cheerleader, did not know as she exited the school’s front entrance what role she would play in the history making events over the next few weeks. She was completely oblivious.
