A/N: Schools out! Middle school is over…kinda sad. Weird thing, I never really cared about it ending much until it did. Oh well, nothing is forever and now I'll either update more…or less! Cuz summer is the time my family usually go for a month long vaction…or two. But unfortunately that is unlikely since my dad is thinking of sending me to summer school. I haven't left the U.S. in over two years! In other words, I haven't visited my maternal relatives in two years. And don't talk much with my paternal relatives…But enough of my personal life, I wouldn't want to bore you for too long. If you're looking for some action though, there won't be much. This is a relatively short chapter.
EIR: *Crowds around the T.V. screen*
News Reporter (on TV): It has been a full day since New York City has been blasted by an secret satellite from space. Behind me, you can clearly see that nothing had survived. Some of the authorities believe that a secret underground network has hacked into the satellite and reprogrammed it. We are now going to Bob, who will be interviewing one of the people who programmed, designed, and sent the weapon of mass destruction.
Bob (on TV): Thank you and here we have an anonymous worker. Sir, can you please tell us all you can?
Unknown: Well, the satellite was never meant to be a weapon. It was for recon that we sent out nearly two years ago. However, just last year it disappeared off the face of the Earth…or in this case the Milky Way.
Bob: And do you have any idea who could've have done this?
Unknown: I am sorry to say that despite the FBI, Scotland Yard, and several other national investigations and legal enforcer's best attempt that the thief has remained unknown.
Bob: What could've have made the person want to steal that particular machine? Was there anything of special value there?
Unknown: Well, now that you mention it, a prototype engine was its main power source.
Bob: And what so special about this engine?
Unknown: Well, I can't give you the details but I can tell you that it was capable of efficient energy production.
Bob: But isn't energy impossible to create?
Unknown: Yes, but the engine doesn't create energy, it turns many different forms of unusable matter and energy into usable energy. It spins that energy on a special circuit that was supposed to last for thirty years.
Bob: And you are certain that that was the satellite that fired the attack on NYC?
Unknown: Positive, it is the only satellite that is missing and not under legal control.
Myth: *Blasts the TV with laser gun*
Erin: What was that for?
Myth: I needed to destroy something.
In the Closet Fanfic Reader: WHY?
Myth: I'm depressed that NYC is now just air vapor.
Eminem: You do realize that you're the one that gave the order to vaporize it right?
Myth: Why do you think I'm depressed?
AnnaDaughterOfHermes: At least Typhon is defeated.
Myth: Yup, the blast was strong enough to knock him out. He won't be waking until another, oh, twenty or so years. Longer once the gods throw him back to his prison. As soon as Poseidon gets back from the Underworld…and when Zeus gets out of Canada…and when Hades get out of Six Flags…and when-
Silents: We get it…
CrazyDyslexticNerd: I still can't believe we dislocated thousands of people from their homes…
Myth: Not thousands…hundreds of thousands. Possibly millions since the area around NYC is being evacuated.
Riley Coyote: Not helping dude…and wait…was that guy on TV talking about you?
Myth: No, they were talking about the satellite that blew up NYC.
Eleos: But YOU were the one who took control of it weren't you?
Myth: I am hurt that you would think of accusing me of such crimes…
*Silence and stares*
Myth: Alright I did it! Just stop the creepy looks!
Awesome PJOHarry: WHY?
Myth: Because I knew I would need it one day. And besides that satellite overcharged and was about to blow. And I was stranded in the void of space and I needed a place to stay for awhile and refuel my oxygen tank…
A/N: Not much here, but it's because it's just the build-up for the next chapter or two. It'll be explain in the next few sentences. As you know, I forgot to put a poll on the last chapter. As punishment I smacked myself…in the cyber world. And as redemption I decided to put three polls. And I'll update by Thursday or I've have my little sister punch (and kick) me a lot. Trust me, she'll enjoy it. No, not NOW! I said NOT now! Ow…any the first poll is: Who do you fear more: Kronos who is manipulative and cunning as well as the Titan King or Typhon who is a being of sheer power. Second: Do you think a fatal flaw is stereotypical like some things about demigods or do you think it's more personal? Take Percy for example, his flaw is personal loyalty but do you think ALL children of Poseidon suffer from that? Third: I plan for the next chapter to be a flash back of my stay at the satellite base that formerly belong to the UN. Sounds bad or should I go on with it? There might be an interesting twist…or not. Oh and I decided to add a fourth poll: What do you think is the Aphrodite Cabin's stereotypical fatal flaw? Vanity or lack of self-control? Something else? Oh and here's a challenge: Is the bald eagle the symbol of Zeus? I don't know the answer yet but I'll look it up!
