Virgon -An Educational Story

Chapter 1 - Administration

    As the thin, leathery skinned blonde worked her way through the layers of administration at GCTech, the Galactic College of Technology, she began to show her agitation.  Almost 40,000 Galactic Credits  and more than two years of her life had gone toward earning a degree at GCTech.  All she needed to earn her Level 2 Degree in Ships Engineering Mechanical Elevator Maintenance (SEMEN) was one lousy English course.  With that degree she could get off this stupid rock and work on any galactic space ship multilevel elevator system, a key skill for working on the huge space highliners that criss-crossed the hundreds of worlds in the Galactic Establishment.

    Her name was Mandy Dander.  She had seen better days.  A casual observer would have initially thought her attractive, but upon further inspection would have seen the wear lines in her skin, and sense that she was truly a bit too thin.  So far she had spoken to the degree councilor, and the academic dean.  While fidgeting, spinning around, while crossing, uncrossing, and recrossing her legs, Mandy made her case as to why she deserved credit for the English course.  She had left both of these meetings in a huff.

    As she strode down the long ornate hall toward the office of the GCTech president she first went into the lady's room, a minor detour off of that long hall.  After a brief inspection of the facilities, and without doing any lady's room business she continued toward the office of the President.  The President's administrative assistant had an office just outside of that of the President.  Ms. Bork looked up and said, "Can I help you?"

    Mandy replied, "Yes, I need to see Doctor Swindall, and oh, and I also need a tampon, one with the plastic applicators.  A little taken aback, Ms. Bork rummaged in her purse and found just the type of tampon that Mandy had requested.  Mandy slipped the torpedo into her purse. 

    Ms. Bork then said,  "If you will have a seat, I will see if Stuart, I mean, Doctor Swindall can see you.  He has been very busy." 

    "I understand he is busy, however I have already seen the counselor and the dean and they will not help me.  I believe they are being very unfair and I have to see Doctor Swindall as he is the only one left that can help me."
