Episode 11 – The Elder Assembly
Greg Preston’s Diary 24th of May 2725 AD
We bought a typewriter as a gift for Michiko, as she said she would like to write a novel. We also sold some salted fish and the gold-stone.
We have had several meetings with Village Elder Council all day, they asked us how much taxes we expected to had collected over the last year. When I said it was just 1.805$ (*) the Council realised that we needed support, if the settlement by the river should not collapse.
They decided to help us with donations (*). If we would accept to be a part of them, under indirect leadership. We should create a small local elder assembly and be represented in their council. They appointed me as lifetime settlement leader, being the founder. When I was no longer there, the elder assembly should vote for a new lifetime leader.

Extracts from “The Wilderness” by Michiko Vaughan
The settlers were so nice to us. They built a small cottage we could live in, simple but a lot better that the cold basement. When their leader returned from a village he knew somewhere in the mountains, he had a typewriter for me and said that now I was a part of their elder assembly. Having influence on future decisions.

The first Elder Assembly meeting took place tonight. With Greg, Michiko and myself, mainly talking about the deals made with the mountain village. We also talked about the pros and cons of the option we had to advert in the mountain village, to attract more newcomers.

From Greg Preston’s Report to St. John’s Educational Foundation – June 2725
Myra have become so found of fishing that she has also persuaded John to come. They had a fine month, all in all reeling in 19 fish at the lake. The other youngsters have been cleaning and taking care of the garden.

As intended the new settlement meeting and assembly spot, have become a popular meeting location. A place to meet, talk, read or just relax.

The typewriter I got for the Vaughan family was a great idea. Charles already started to write something. “Bens guide to Bikes”, not sure with that title, but I hope he can make some money from it. The family is so poor. In any case they look much stronger now that they have got some decent meals.

We are not exactly the best of friends yet, but I am glad that Michiko skill comes around to visit, after they have moved out. I don’t really like being out in the sun or rain, so I don’t see a lot of people if they do not visit.
