One Step at a Time PG Part 28
The colony was growing by leaps and bounds. Jhan brought him the latest figures and Khan was most pleased. They now had over 500 recruits eager to embrace their education and training program The farms also had several hundred willing workers. It was amazing what promising good food and clean water would do. The outer frame for the school was now up as well. Khan was proud of his brother and Karl's efforts. He smiled as he prepared a telegram for Mestral. While it was not strictly necessary for him to send progress reports to his ally he thought it prudent to do so. He knew he would need more support and Mestral's was enough to gain international support. With the Grayson family backing his organization he seemed more like a charity then the new government he was attempting to become. For the moment he preferred to appear harmless to those in charge. He looked up at his brother and smiled. He had grown much in the last six months. "Well done."
The youth smiled with deep pride. "I hoped the latest figures would cheer you. We have more good news as well. Those seeds Mestral promised have arrived at the port in Calcutta."
"Good, see about transport."
"Karl already has about a dozen lorries heading down. We sent guards along because that area has been plagued by bandits."
"Who is in charge?" Khan asked.
Jhan looked at his clipboard and said Pieter. He took the first squad with corporal Kali. She will keep the troops in line. Karl thought given the way the Brits have been acting it was wise to have someone calmer in charge. Kali is great in a fight but she has a temper."
"A wise move. I think they might look the other way also to armed Indians."
"That is what Karl thought too. I hope it was a wise move." Jhan said. "We really did --"
"Jhan you and Karl have my complete trust. If you made that call it was for a good reason. Trust yourself my brother . I do."
Jhan straighten with pride.

Mestral walked the grounds. They needed work but they would do. The new school would be built and it would help bring prosperity to the area. He noted that several of his people had expressed a desire to remain here. He could understand why. This area was very similar to their home world if a bit cooler. The local school would educate the Natives and provide a safe place of employment for his own. He began to consider building a small university here as well.
"Mestral it is a good idea. We need a place for the children to gain higher educations." Maggie said. He looked down on her and raised his fingers. As always she touched them and he felt peace. She had come to him because he was concerned.
"The question is shall we make this a public or private institution?"
Maggie surprised him when she said "A private one. That way you may teach what you wish and that can include subjects that for the moment are far to advanced for my people. Have the traditional degrees but also set it up like a school on Vulcan."
"Are you certain?" Mestral asked.
Maggie sighed and said."Yes, we are not ready Mestral."
He held her and said. "So it shall be. Only our people will be allowed in. This will include the people of our cities as well as the Vulcans that come here."
Maggie looked at him and nodded. "As you wish. That does mean we will have to inform the people of Carbon Creek about the truth."
"Yes we will. However we have some time." Mestral said. "We can begin with those we trust the most and move on from there."
"All right but we must use care. Humans scare easily Mestral." Maggie warned.
"Yes, but all will be well. Perhaps we should ask Harry and Bes to visit." He said. "Their presence should ease concerns."
"Very wise. I guess we are heading home soon then?"
"In two days time. We have done all we can for the moment." Mestral said.

Paul Gambino boarded the plane. He was going out to fix the mess his worthless brother-in-law had made. He was certain Grayson could be made to see reason. If not there were a lot of places to burry a body in the dessert. At least he could visit Liz in Vegas He missed the girl and she would be happy to see him he was certain. He missed his former mistress and hoped she had enough of the dancing and night life. She really should come home to New York. After all he had treated her right.
