______________________________________________________________

Day 2

Location : Red Hook Dock, Brooklyn, New York City

Venatrix climbed out of the boat sticking to the shadows of the harbour. She started to count her disadvantages. Problems that needed to be solved.

“One, I have no idea where I am,” she muttered as she ran in a random direction. The first problem was an easy fix.

“Two, how do I get to Los Angeles,” this one would take some time to plan and relied on where she was at the moment. She would probably need to forge a lot of documents if she was travelling illegally. She didn’t even have a birth certificate.

“Three, I need food,” she told herself when she heard her stomach rumbling.

She kept running, a child walking through a place like this all alone would look suspicious. Venatrix took in long even breaths as she sprinted across the harbour. She halted to a stop at the sight of a fence, a small road beyond it. Maybe she could find a bus station, she did have a lot of stolen money at hand. She could take the bus to the nearest airport and sneak into the plane, which wouldn't be the first time she snuck into a plane. Venatrix took a few steps back before vaulting over the fence.

She looked at the brick building, the word “Tesla” on top of the door. She peered through the glass doors to see a dozen sleek cars parked next to each other. She looked around the place curiously, this was the first time she went outside by herself without a comm in her ears. A symbol attached to a pole near the building held the words ‘Summit st’, where the hell was that?

“You lost?” her head turned to the driver of a truck which had stopped. She took a moment to take in the situation. The truck was a dirty green and it stank of flies and compost. The man was huge, white face with pink splotches framed by a scruffy beard.

She took in his accent. New yorker. She might be in the right country. There was still a chance the man had travelled. She quickly crossed out that thought after realising what his job was. She had to be in the US.

“Hello, a little away from home,” she replied. The words scraped through her throat coming out rough. She really needed to talk more.

“I will give you a lift, just tell me where you live,” he opened the door next to him. Venatrix calculated the risk. If a fight were to break out the man had the advantage of strength while she had the advantage of speed and agility. If she got in and fought him inside the truck the outcome would be unpredictable.

“I have never seen a kid think so much,” the driver said after a while.

“Is that bad?” Venatrix asked, deciding to climb in.

“No. Hungry? I still have an extra sandwich,” he pointed at a red lunch box. She should probably eat it, who knows when she will get to eat again, speaking of that…

“Take me to the nearest supermarket.”

“Um..your parent work there?” He handed over the sandwich to her.

“Yes,” she lied.

“You sure it is the nearest supermarket?” he asked, eyebrows scrunching up with worry.

“Very.”

“Okay then, let's go.”

Venatrix tugged the seat belt clasping it to the lock and then proceeded to take the first bite out of the sandwich. You couldn’t even call it a bite, she had taken a small nibble and moved it back and forth over her tongue, ready to spit it out if she detected any drug, poison or anything on it. Once satisfied the sandwich was safe to eat, she swallowed the whole thing.

“Hungry aren’t you?” the trucker laughed. Venatrix shot him a confused look.

“The consumption of carbohydrates,nutrients and other food groups for a human is essential for their health, why is it funny?”

“No.. I was just saying…”the trucker fumbled slightly confused, “kid how old are you?”

“Nine,” she answered but she wasn’t completely sure.

“Smart, real smart. Want some H2O?” He took a hand off the wheel to offer her a water bottle. She grabbed it, following the same process she had used for the sandwich to see if it was safe to consume. She wondered why the man had called it by its molecular formula rather than its common name.

It must be one of those jokes they told me about!

“Thankyou for the dihydrogen monoxide,” she said back, looking at the man hoping for a smile or a laugh. Instead she got a baffled expression.

“What is dihy…whatever that is you said?”

“Dihydrogen monoxide is the systematic name for water, you said H2O instead of using the common name so I assumed it was a joke and not to mention dihydrogen monoxide is actually quite dangerous…..” Venatrix shut her mouth, back at home they didn’t like it when she blabbered.

“Kid you are making me feel really dumb over here,” the trucker smiled back. Venatrix’s heart did a little involuntary victory dance, he had smiled and it meant her joke had worked.

Success!

The man pulled over at the store.

“Here you go, need any help finding your folks?” he asked as she jumped off the truck.

“No, I can see them from here,” she lied, acting like she had spotted someone through the glass doors. She turned back to the driver.

“Thankyou, goodbye,” she bid farewell, turning around and walking into the supermarket. She heard the engine growl as he drove away.

She got a lot of odd looks as she walked around the store in amazement unaware that her mouth was open. Her steps were slow and she wasn’t nearly as vigilant as she wanted to be. There were just so many things. Things she had never seen or heard of. She stuck her head into the refrigerators staring at the tubs of ice cream. She had heard of it but never tasted in and she had definitely not known there were so many flavours. She pulled herself out of it and pressed the back of her hand to the cold tip of her nose. She needed to get her priorities straight.

Venatrix really wished she could get her head in the game but it was proving harder than usual. She stood there in the aisle full of bread. Milk bread, brown bread, sweet bread, long bread, bread with bits of fruit in it, bread with chocolate in it. She stood there like an idiot staring at it not moving an inch. Why was there so much bread?

“Um..need any help?” one of the shop attendants asked. Venatrix’s brain short-circuited. It wasn't meant to short circuit especially not over bread.

“Bread,” was the only thing that slipped out of mouth, a little breathlessly even if she hadn’t done anything strenuous. She quickly walked away a little embarrassed.

She picked up a basket making a list of things she needed. She dropped three bottles of water. It was a very important thing. She searched for food which she could store for longer terms, preferably rich in carbohydrates, energy bars and cornflakes. She had stared suspiciously at the cup noodles for a good amount of time before deciding she could take three. She picked up a notepad and a pen just in case and then she stood in front of the juice section. She had never drank juice and she didn’t think she was allowed to, the same thing went for the cup noodles but she had taken those because she could store it, it was easy to prepare and seemed enough to satisfy her appetite. Maybe they didn’t have to know she had tasted juice but if they found it she was in major trouble.

Risk or no risk?

She stared up at the bottles filled with orange liquid. She thought about it, oranges were healthy but then again she didn’t know if it actually contained the fruit.

“Need help getting that down honey?” A young woman wearing a shirt with the name of the supermarket reached up to the high shelf and dropped the juice bottle into her basket. She gave Venatrix a smile. Did everyone smile so much over here? People back at home rarely smiled and if they did they had a sharpness to them, like a predator who had just found their next victim.

To her horror, the woman then proceeded to reach out her hand towards her. The muscles of her arms instinctively tightened and her hands curled to form fists ready to spring out into a fight. She relaxed in confusion when she realised the woman held no force behind her movement. There was absolutely no way she could hurt her moving that slow. Venatrix leaned away the closer the hand got. The moment she could not bend away any further without looking suspicious the hand nested on her head and then the woman moved it back and forth messing up her hair and walked away.

What was that? It…it felt nice?

She wanted more people to do that thing to her hair. Venatrix looked down at her basket to see the bottle of orange liquid, she looked at ingredients in tiny print. There was orange in it, even if it was only twenty percent. Now that it was in her basket she didn’t want to put it back, they didn’t have to know. A thought struck her, it wasn’t one of her best decisions but she decided to do it.

The high sugar content will give her instant energy and it was good to bring her sugar levels back to normal if she hadn’t eaten. It is what she told herself as she dropped in four candy bars.

Easy to carry around and an excellent source of carbohydrates she told herself as she put in a packet of chips. She also relaxed a little when she saw the packets had the american ‘flavored’ instead of british ‘flavoured’ she was in the right country but it still left the problem that America was huge.

“Oranges help to make collagen which in turn helps in healing wounds and it also boosts the immune system and that is why I am buying it, no other reason,” she told the cashier as she handed the orange juice over to him.

The cashier gave her a few odd looks and asked where her parents were, to which she replied she was here with her brother and he had handed her the money while he went to talk to his friends.

“You going on a camping trip or something?” the cashier asked.

“Yes,” she lied, if the cashier thought that the others might too might as well stick with that.

“Usually kids take a lot more sweets and chips.”

“Dad already bought everything, just needed a few other things, and said we could pick a few other things.”

“Okay then,” he handed her a tote bag filled with her shopping.

“Do you know where me and my brother can find a duffel bag, our old one kinda has a huge hole in it.” Venatrix had concluded that travelling with a tote bag would come across as strange and a duffel would be much easier. The cashier gave her some directions and wished her a happy trip.

Attaining a duffel bag was easy enough to find and she kept up the same story she made up in the store. Her next stop, somewhere she could find transport.

She was in New Jersey and Los Angeles was all the way across the country. The positive side of her mind cheered that they were at least in the right country but the negative side made her yell something. She shouted out a word she had several of her trainers say when they got angry, she never knew what it meant but it felt like the right time to use it. Turns out whatever it meant she wasn’t supposed to say it because she got yelled at by any adult who was within hearing radius. She continued to stare at the bus routes weighing her options. A flight would take six to eight hours and a bus would take sixty-nine hours. Money wouldn’t be a problem, she had nicked over two thousand dollars from the dead people back at home.

She caught a taxi.

“Where to?” the man asked. Venatrix got the faint smell of tobacco from the car.

“Parents?” He looked around for the missing adults

“Already there, some issues came up, they told me to take a taxi.”

“John F. Kennedy International airport please.” The taxi driver shut up and gave her a crooked smile when she handed him the wad of money.

Boeing demonstrates open architecture autonomy for manned and unmanned teams with MQ-25

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 09/09/2022 - 14:00in Military

Boeing digitally demonstrated a new open architecture autonomy for the MQ-25 that will allow the U.S. Navy to increase mission effectiveness by integrating the capacity of manned and unmanned teams (MUM-T) in speed and scale.

The non-in Propriety architecture, based on the government-owned Open Mission System specification, is the basis for the advanced MUM-T. A team led by Boeing virtually demonstrated how other aircraft can use the architecture of the MQ-25 and charge you with carrying out refuelling and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions - all within the mission airspace and without traditional communications with the ship-based ground control station.

The Boeing MUM-T demonstration included Northrop Grumman's E-2D Advanced Hawkeye command and control aircraft, Boeing's P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft and Boeing's F/A-18E/F Block III Super Hornet fighter. Using its existing operational flight program software and data links, the aircraft safely and efficiently operated four virtual and autonomous MQ-25s to perform ISR missions. The F/A-18 also used its advanced tactical data links and the conceptual interface of Boeing's "Project Black Ice" crew vehicle, which significantly reduced the crew workload.

“Large ocean bands can be watched, identified and targeted when the MQ-25 is combined with aircraft carrier-based assets, such as the E-2D or the ground-based P-8A patrol aircraft,” said Don “BD” Gaddis, director of the MQ-25 Advanced Project. "Through this demonstration, our customers saw how this digital and open approach to MUM-T is fundamental to putting on the ground the critical capacity to combat at a much lower cost and with greater speed and agility."

For example, the demonstration showed how the P-8A and E-2D could easily charge an MQ-25 teammate with an ISR mission by specifying only the search area and the no-fly zones. Using an on-board autonomy structure developed by Aurora Flight Sciences, a subsidiary of Boeing, the MQ-25 did the rest autonomously - including validating the command against its operational constraints, planning its route and conducting its search pattern, among many other tasks.

Aurora also created and demonstrated a prototype of the platform abstraction layer - a software limit that dissociates the flight safety of the MQ-25 and the critical flight components of mission software and sensor hardware. This commercial best practice allows the integration of third-party "applications" in MQ-25. Using a software development kit provided by Aurora, the Aircraft Division of the Naval Air Warfare Center created a new radar search application for the MQ-25 that was successfully used during the demonstration.

“Aurora’s robust software development kit allows our Navy companions to quickly integrate new features,” said Graham Drozeski, vice president of Government Programs at Aurora Flight Sciences. "The platform's abstraction demonstration met the test objectives for sharing resources between various on-board systems and supervisors, and these efforts will greatly reduce government testing and certification costs as new features are added over time."

The demonstration was aligned with future combat capabilities in the Navy's Unmanned Campaign Board. Boeing will continue to refine the autonomy, sensors, interface changes and interfaces of crew vehicles required for the MUM-T.

The Top 8 Advantages of ISO 45001

Agile Advisors provides ISO Consultancy in Dubai, ISO 45001 aims to enhance an organization's Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) efficacy in reducing injury and sickness. It offers numerous benefits associated with OH&S management systems. An effective ISO 45001 management system can help businesses and their workers in several ways, from increased production to lower expenses and increased general safety. Furthermore, ISO 45001 can benefit any firm, regardless of size or sector; it's not just for global conglomerates. Businesses can improve their OH&S management system using ISO 45001 to give workers and contractors a reliable and safe work environment. Observing patterns and evaluating possible risks is assured if the prerequisites are met. Being an ISO 45001 accredited company, you will take preventative measures to lessen the likelihood of serious hazards.

As an ISO Consultancy in Agile Advisors, Oil refineries and other businesses that have substantial physical barriers are more likely to experience serious injuries. As a result, they need to have an active OH&S management system in place. Being among the first to achieve ISO compliance is one way for organizations to set themselves apart. Many companies are choosing to implement OH&S ISO 45001 and register to enhance their market competitiveness. The presence of an Occupational Health and Safety Management system is a priority for many external parties, including potential employees, shareholders, regulators, suppliers, and the general public. By implementing an efficient OH&S management system, organizations can meet regulatory requirements, provide a safer and healthier work environment, and exceed consumer expectations, giving them a competitive edge over organizations that do not.

We as an ISO Consultant in Dubai, Adopting the ISO 45001 standard allows organizations to show that they are dedicated to best practices in health and safety. The extra recognition that comes with certification can be something that some firms would like to seek. When you show that you are actively improving your employees' performance, safety, and morale, people will respect you and consider you socially responsible for their welfare. Your level of transparency and the way you promote your CSR initiatives can greatly impact the public's, potential workers', and clients' perceptions of your business. The involvement of employees is a crucial element of every successful safety initiative. The ISO 45001 standard provides a structured method for promoting employee participation and consultation, emphasizing their importance in the process. This not only enhances the effectiveness of the system but also makes employees feel valued and integral to the organization's safety efforts.

In our opinion as an ISO Consultant, The ISO 45001 accreditation will improve the organization's overall performance and occupational health and safety. To obtain ISO certification, you need to have continued internal audits as well as a third-party assessment. Audits aim to make your organization more effective and perform better by addressing inefficiencies rather than just identifying nonconformances. Many clients find it reassuring that your company has substantial control over their workplace's health and safety, even though your contracts might not include an OH&S management system. Customers stand to gain from a considerably reduced likelihood of service delivery delays due to accidents and injuries, which have the potential to both impair personnel and halt production. Your insurance premiums can be lower if your business has obtained ISO 45001 certification. Insurance costs will also decrease if a proactive method is maintained to reduce hazardous employment circumstances.
