Where to?

"So where are we going?" The lady from the cave asked. I was going slower now traveling west.

"Haven't decided yet I thought the Dakota's." I answered.

"Why not Texas?" Talob

"Utah has the church of jesus christ there nice people maybe they will take us in." Sue put in.

"I wonder about that." I told.

"What?"

"Where you born today don't you know what is going on around you?" said the woman from the tunnel.

"What is your name so I can know you as more then the woman from the tunnel?" I asked her.

"Be patient with us lady we in a sence have been born today." Peter said. She looked at us mouth wide open.

"We were in a sleep state for the past 2000 years we don't know anything. I get the feeling anything establish on this country are the factors to supply the floating cities. I also get the feeling no man's land is fought over regularly." I put it simply.

"I got that feeling too." said Talon. "We should see how they are treated and judge whether to hire on. Texas may have more no man's land. It had many ranchs."

"That was true for all the plane states." June said.

"Ellinor." she finally said. "Your pulling my leg right."

"No."

"I woke them there was several of them I didn't count but these didn't go with mr. Connor." Kevin and Dillon said backing up our tale.

"Well that was smart of them in one way." She said with a long sigh. "What are you going to do once you find land ?"

"Farm it build a home." June dropped

"What are you going to do about falling trash?"

"Resycal it and build a way to protect and hind our success." Sue said as if it was a dud thing.

"For just waking up it sounds this has been planned for 2000 years. " Ellinor said frustrated.

"It was." Said Pearl. Ellinor's mouth dropped open as did Trixie.

"We went into the sleep fully supplied to rebuild the earth from the virus of 2020. They feared that it would whipeout the human population. That is what we signed up for. Now we are using it to survive in an alien world.

"We had no flying car let alone buses. Nor robots let alone cyberlims as Kevin and Dillon seems to have Trixie had. Do you think all we have seen does not shock us even scare us. We are hanging on because we believe we have a plan." I told them.

"Who is the captain of this project? " All eyes looked around slowly landing on me.

"The one designed to organize the repopulate the world is with Mr. Connor right now. I am the planes export drive and building of them. Pearl is the mechanic with skills in welding and machinist. Talon is the weapons specialist. Each one in the room had skills to build a new world. Peter is our carpenter. Sue our chief. June is our farming expert. I not sure what the children want to be but they will be taught it all. Because they will need to take over."

"I will be training all of us to protect being the captain of the defense." Talon said.

"That will be the case with every thing Peter can't build the house and furniture alone no more then one man can defend us. We are going to have to work together get along like a family." I backed him up.

"If you want to leave you are free to go tell us so we don't worry but don't betray us by selling us out or sending people to kill us. It is sad and unfair." Peter said.

"No matter what you will hurt us by doing that. We are strangers but we hurt the same as you. You would feel hurt and angry if it was done to you." said June.

Everyone nodded in the bus as we went back to the question of where are we going? "Do we know if this is all over the world?" everyone shrugged.

"Then let's explore this country." All agreed.

"Then what should we do put it to vote what are the nominees?" I continue to lead the discussion.

"Texas" Talon said

"Utah" said Sue.

"and the Dakota states witch one have they combined." said Peter.

"Each State had their own rules and regulations each very different. when the United states government broke up the individual states could have retained their government but put up border so other countries could not invade. New york is where we started what will we see in Pennsylvania?"

"You have a thought there. I went to Florida on my honeymoon and they were not flood with trash they valued the fishes and wildlife keeping them clean for tourist." Trixie said.

"If you were able to do that how did you end up here?" asked Ellinor.

"Betrayed by my husband after ten years of marriage my girl were five my son in my stomach. He stole my legs or as he put it they were his he paid for them they stay with him." Trixie shrugged off the tale. "I want to vote."

"We need to keep a tally." Sue suggested.

"We should have a bit of a knowledge of what we are voting for" said Kevina.

"Talon can describe his Texas but that was what it looked like in 2020. I can describe south Dakota because that was my home state, but it will be what it was in 2020. You understand that right?" I tried to clarify. They nodded their heads.

"Do you think we should vote after visiting each one?" Pearl said.

"We have limited resources and more people then we bought for. We should set a goal and drive to it." Talon said we all agreed.

"What about this.." I started thinking that they both have valid points. "We vote for a place the highest votes being our destination. After arriving we find it doesn't work. We go to the second highest votes and so on. Then we will not be stuck. maybe on the way if the place we pass please us with a vote and a prayer we will stay."

"We may end up staying because we have to refill our money and food." June said

"That is true. We could also have a decrease of people because they want to stay. No one is obligated to stay together." I didn't want any of them to not have their freedom.

"Well what are you waiting for let's hear about these nominees of ideal homes of our so we can vote."Said Diana.

Talon started with June's help describing Texas: The stretch out forever. It is always hot. The star are so bright and stretch out across the sky. The storms are beautiful and hard.

I let Sue describe Utah next: It has unpredictable weather. If your sound you have hot summers but not as hot as Texas and warm winters. It has city's that purduse all products there is factory's, dairys, ranchers and farmers. It has a spread out population so you can see the stars. The people were concern for their neighbors and very religious.

I went next: They are green and have hearty cold winter. There are large forests and the economy is the same as the other two states well rounded.

Now with the old system that we don't know if is the same in 4020. We took a vote. There was thirty votes it was close with Utah one vote higher then Texas Dakota states three votes behind. So we set off to Utah. I put it in the computer.
