Very interesting chapter. I’m in agreement with Dechaun that this whole charade was not sanctioned by the US government, it’s being carried out by a private contractor. I hope that Worthington and Jamie can hold them off until they can figure out how to get a signal out to the dwarves at the castle, if they can do that then hold out long enough for the dwarf king to provide some much needed help.

Excellent chapter as usual. I’m glad that everything is working out for the Applegate family and there hasn’t been any more sickness since they lost their father to the sickness, and since they are now living with Edwin and Archie and assisting with the chores and work on the farm. I think it’s great that Edwin has worked out a deal with the general store to buy the goods that they bring in every six weeks or so, like this trip they had five dozen eggs, dampers, butter, pumpkins, preserved vegetables, and corn. It seems like they’re making a great start at life on the new homestead in Australia, they’ve had to enlarge the paddock for the livestock as well as the area where the crops are growing, and the vegetable garden as well.

I second what Jeff said. I too am enjoying this story and look forward to the next chapter. The farm is really starting to come together as they are doing all that they can to get everything established.

I think it’s terrible that Eric was so abused when he was growing up, especially by his own father. I know what he’s going through because my 3rd cousin is dealing with some of the same issues because he was sexually abused by his father and now that he’s a teenager I’m hoping that he doesn’t get worse than the issues he’s been dealing with all this time. I don’t know when this took place or how old he was when it happened because I didn’t know about him or his mom until a little over two years ago my sister and I were talking about our aunt that died and his mom was here and heard my sister said our aunts name and then his mom asked if we were talking about our aunt and then said her last name saying she was her niece as well. We knew then that we were cousins. I just got to thinking about that as I read the chapter. I can tell that you put a lot of thought into the story and the main character.

What a great story, for all of the trials and tribulations that they have gone through the ARG seems to be doing very well and the trains that were supposed to be beginning their runs were held off for a while due to the accident investigation. I’m sorry that they lost three crewmen as well as two passengers as a result of the collision between a fuel truck and the train. I’m also sorry that Vern’s brothers are not dealing well and are having some nightmares about the wreck. At least they were able to begin the planned service from Exmouth although it was short of the amount of days that it was to run because of the wreck they didn’t have enough train cars to be able to make the planned days until the new cars arrive from Switzerland. I’m glad that the truck company and their insurance company will cover the cost of the replacement of the car as they were found to be at fault in the accident because the driver had ignored the safety barriers and went through them just as the train was coming up on the tracks. I like how Vern spoke up and told the media that the company ARG is going to upgrade the signal equipment at all of the crossings and put up more signs at the places where the tracks cross private crossings. To me that shows that they are going to make sure that their passengers are a priority to the business and they want to make sure they stay safe. I wish ARG and the family the best of all things and I hope that they will continue to do great things for the Australian people. Thank you for the great story it was a very enjoyable read and it just goes to show that you shouldn’t underestimate a person because of their age or gender because they could very well surprise you with their abilities.

Excellent chapter, and well written. At least now we know that it is the government using the military to try to arrest Worthington, Jamie, Brandon, Carl and Colin. The mage in camouflage is the one that appears to be the one in charge and he’s trying to get the military and the FBI to do his work, stating some classified government law that says they have the authority to arrest any mages not registered with the government and hold them until they can be deemed safe. After the attack earlier it’s not a wonder that they’re not going to make the mistake of doing what the government mage wants them to do. I hope the calvary does show up soon because I don’t think the mages at the camp will survive another attack like the one earlier.

Excellent chapter

First off congratulations are in order for the birth of the twins making Vern a big brother twice more. It was a great inaugural journey to Exmouth even taking the time to see some more of the Western Australia country. Now that they’ve had three days to explore the area it’s time to head back aboard for the return trip this time with paying customers. Excellent chapter, I for one am thoroughly enjoying the story.

I think you’re right, Andrew needs to get a grip on himself or he won’t be able to do anything because he’s going to rip his pants by continuing to get hard. He’s going to have to find a way to stop thinking about Chris.

Poor Justin, he’s so set on holding onto his past instead of letting it go by speaking about it. I see what the Jewler is trying to do, he’s trying to get Justin to go down the correct path so that he can truly become the mimic. In order for Justin to become the mimic and bring about the dawn as is written in the scriptures, especially the ones written by Comicality the exact scriptures that Justin keeps saying are wrong. Justin has to let go of the anger that he’s surpressing which is the way to go completely insane instead of being open about his true intentions the night he climbed over the railing at the pier, was he really going to comit suicide or was he just trying to quiet the Justin who is wanting to be released now every time he fights. I hope that he will be able to open up soon before the elders get wind of his existence and then send the hunters after him. Excellent chapter.

Excellent chapter. I like the way that Sherlock & Watson talk to each other in the letters, they seem to have a great rapore with each other. Now we know the real name of Watson is Max. I hope that they can meet up with each other when the assignment is done, I think they’ll be true friends for a very long time.

Holiday Rush (Part Three)
Butcher56 commented on Comicality's story chapter in Holiday Rush (Part Three)
I don’t know if you’re aware of this or not but chapter 2 & 3 are the same exact chapter. -
Very excellent chapter. It appears that Vern is now the official speaker for the ARG at least the public speaking parts of the business. I’m glad that he is able to take on this role as he did very well in high school with the class on the subject. Not only that but he has taken on quite the role as the Executive assistant to his father and he put together quite a bit of the presentation when he was speaking in front of Parliament. I hope that because of the presentation that they get the backing they need to move forward with the plan that they have for the rail service in the region.

I’m sorry that the Applegate family has had it so rough since their arrival in Ceduna as they have lost the father and the youngest child from sickness. Their neighbors Edwin & Archie have been a great deal of help for the family as they took in the oldest children to stay away from the sickness as well as supplying the Applegate family with some water and food. As Edwin and James were leaving for Ceduna they stopped at the Applegate family homestead and left them some more water and food, finding out that the father had gotten a bit better then took ill again. After the trip to Ceduna Edwin and James started heading back to the homestead when they noticed smoke in the distance seeming to come from the direction of the Applegate homestead. When they arrived at the Applegate homestead they noticed that their wagon was at the end of the road, they saw Mrs Applegate and Mark were waiting near by and Mrs Applegate told them that they had buried Mr Applegate that morning. Mark then asked if they could come stay with them for awhile and Edwin said they could as they are a new farm and they had plenty of work to get done. Excellent chapter and story very well written.

I don’t know what will happen when the Elite sees Kohen again knowing that he has attempted to kill him before. I’m not sure about what the captain may do or say when they find the Elite. Luckily the Elites mainly use AI’s for everything so that makes it a lot easier to get what they want to happen due to Freska and her uncanny ability with the AI’s . By Fresca using her ability with machines they’re able to land the whole ship near where they need to be. Drpaladin is always giving us the best information about the chapter as he points out the facts that we might not see in the chapter. He pointed out that after Kohen changed the course of the ship and then locked everyone except the captain out of the navigation system the captain made everyone know why he’s the captain of the ship and he should be the one to give the order to change course or anything else like that. The captain also stated that he wasn’t even thinking clearly so he probably wouldn’t have agreed with Kohen even though he was right about where they needed to go. Excellent chapter.

Excellent chapter.

I like the idea that Edwin & Archie will have neighbors, although now it seems like the majority of the family is sick, and some have even died from the sickness. The older sons were sent over to Edwin and Archie to look after Adam who is 8 and James who is 11, since they arrived they have been a great help with the projects they had planned and were working on completing have been finished. I’m sorry that their family is sick and are dying but that was something that they had to deal with during the time of the story.

Excellent chapter. I like the way that the name of the company went from Ashburton Engineering Company to Ashburton Railroad Group or ARG. The ARG has made a better deal with the Swiss Engineering Company which gives them the controlling shares, this way they have a way to expand the service now being offered by the Great Western. The ARG offered to give shares of the company to WA state and federal government as well as the NT in exchange for these governments to help get the track put in so that the train could get to more places. Although the governments decided that they couldn’t put out such a large sum of money, so that plan was scrapped and it was decided that they would go back to the original plan.

Thanks for correcting me on that.

I agree this is an excellent chapter. I’m pleased to see that Archie got a lot done in the time Edwin was gone to get the needed supplies. The fence posts were in as well as starting to build a fence around the vegetable 🍅 garden. Once they got the wagon unloaded they got busy finishing the fence around the garden area, increasing the fence around the pen areas and putting a roof over a corner of the pens so the livestock had somewhere dry to get out of the rain, they finished the house when they came back from getting more wood they saw some ladies around the house and when they started talking the ladies asked if they were here alone while their parents were off some where else on the property. Edwin explains that they had traveled alone to Western Australia to establish their farm with hopes that the rest of the family would join them later. Great story I’m enjoying it very much and I’m learning how much work it took to get any kind of homestead established.

It seems like Worthington is making the most of the situation with Colin, not only teaching him how to use his power better but also the sexual side of things as well. I think it’s great that Worthington is teaching his campers the skills they need to help them possibly get ahead in life. I’m glad that Jamie is talking to Worthington again, the way that they started talking again was Jamie sat down near Worthington and started telling him about Colin’s home life before he started his training. After they had returned to the camp Worthington attempted to read and reply to his emails, during this time he noticed that the satellite 🛰 connection was acting weird, Brandon came to him and said he was having the same problem. Then all of a sudden they started getting this feeling that something wasn’t right, when they investigated it Worthington contacted Jamie and found out he was in the dining area helping set up for dinner. When Worthington and Brandon got to the area where Colin was supposed to be they saw his clothes stacked up in a pile because he was getting ready to have sex with a girl only he wasn’t there, Worthington saw him being carried away by a military looking man. They were able to get Colin back and are battling with government agents, they are close to diminishing their powers until they get a reprieve and the government starts to pull out. The next chapter should get the answers we need to find out what they do about the government trying to kill them.

I can’t believe that the mining company decided that this wasn’t the right time to extend the rail line as it wouldn’t be profitable for them at this time. After all of the planning and work that was put into the project of getting the rail line put in they have to cut into the shares the family has in order to go back to the original plan for the train in the area where they were going to be able to use the rails that were supposed to be built by the mining company, this is just so they don’t go into debt trying to get a service going in the region. I’m glad that Vern is taking on a good deal more of the media relations and also dealing with the Swiss engineering company. I think it’s great that he is able to do all that he is at his age, I’m not saying that he isn’t capable of doing the things he is, I’m saying that for being 16 he’s doing things that an average 16 year old has no intrest in at all. I’m glad that Mr Ashburton is not willing to settle with the former school that Vern went to where he was bullied and was injured and put in the hospital due to the bullying. I think the offer of a $5000.00 from the school is a joke and they still haven’t changed their bullying policy for punishment of those who are bullying another student and if the student is injured the punishment is the same no matter what.

At least Dylan got what he wanted in the end. Dylan wanted Justin to be at his sun quest so he held out awhile longer then once Justin was back he knew that his time was almost over. I’m glad that Dylan didn’t blame Justin for his heart being punctured the way his was, in fact he gave Justin his most prized possession which was all of the scriptures by Mistress Velora. I think this was probably one of the most saddest chapters in the whole story of GFD, it has the sunqwest in it which is why everyone was crying not wanting him to die even though they all knew that there was nothing to be done to help him live. The thing that made me fall in love with the character named Dylan was the fact that he never lost his faith in there being a God and he would one day go to be with his lord and savior in heaven. I feel bad for Dion as he was starting to feel again like he had a purpose in his life again and now that was leaving him as well. I hope that Dion and Justin can be friends again without Dion blaming Justin for Dylan being stabbed through his heart. Great chapter and story Comicality.

I agree with GanymedeRex that this has been a fascinating story so far about two brothers who have moved to Australia to start a new life. They have started the homestead by building a well, enclosures for the livestock, & the chickens, as well as starting to build their house. I hope that they succeed in their endeavors as the time they are in is not the easiest time to live in. They are very brave to try to start a new life in another country without any experience or family to help them. Can’t wait to read more about their new life.

Justin is having a really rough time trying to find a way to make sense of the feelings that he’s not worthy enough to be the mimic much less anything else. Justin needs to let go of the past before he is able to truly understand the gift of the mimic. The problem right now is the rage that he feels from his past is causing the extras to get out of control which is how Alec is able to track him. Justin is seeing a circle in which he sees white walls and he knows that isn’t Tim’s place.
