HONEY TOAST (Japanese:ハニートースト), also known as SHIBUYA TOAST,[1] BRICK TOAST, and HANITO is a Japanese dessert that originated from the district of Shibuya during the Japanese asset price bubble, often served at karaoke bars.[2] It is also popular in other parts of the world, most prominently Taiwan and Singapore.[3][4][5] [Different variants of honey toast being displayed at a karaoke bar in Shinjuku]

Preparation

The main component of honey toast is bread, preferably pain de mie. The bread is hollowed out and then cut into small cubes. The cubes and the loaf shell are then caramelized, by brushing them with a butter and honey mixture and placing them into the oven until golden. While layering the baked cubes back into the loaf, it is filled with what one may desire, most commonly macerated fruits, toasted nuts, various flavors of syrup or whipped cream. As a finishing touch, the toast is topped with ice cream.[6][7] The Taiwanese version of the dish however is more subdued, usually only topped with condensed milk, custard or cheese.[8]

The flickering lights highlight the ship’s icy hallway only once every few seconds. It’s probably better that way, considering that when it can be seen it’s quite a mess. Scattered with shell casings, strewn papers and stray sparks from exposed wires. Not to mention the occasional body or body part that lay in the way as Chad slowly steps through, careful not to trip over the many obstacles. He waits patiently for the lights to flicker again, so he can move freely with no worry of what’s in his way, and searching for another living soul. He tries to call out, but the cold has rendered his throat quite useless when it comes to shouting. Still he must make the attempt. “Hello!” He tries to scream. It sounded as if the word itself tore open his insides as he spewed it out. Chad places his hand on his throat and continues, content with a quiet search.

As he makes his way through more dead end areas of the ship, Chad begins to lose hope of finding any more lost survivors, until he hears a faint moaning coming from the Captain’s quarters. He stops and listens for a moment. The moans come again. Chad walks towards the open room and puts his back against the wall, creeping his head around the corner. Inside, lying on the bed in the left corner is Captain Roberts, half naked and freezing, blood trickling down his ears and mouth. His skin seems more like a thin pale sheet that’s stretched tightly over his bones, and his hair on his head is patchy, as if he’s been pulling it out. Chad brings himself back around and tilts his head back, rolling his eyes. He sighs and marches into the Captain’s room. “Sir.” He says as he walks up to him. The Captain’s hand is bleeding and balled up in a fist.

“Whosat?” Captain Roberts whispers, eyes rolling around in every direction.

“Lieutenant Chad Harper, sir.” The Captain blinks, almost in awe, and then chuckles to himself.

“Come here, Lieutenant.” Chad kneels down beside the Captain, whose fist reaches out for his hand. Chad cups the Captain’s fist as he releases the item he was clinging so hard to. Chad looks into his now bloody hand to see two brown-stained silver bars. “I’m giving you command, Lieutenant.” Now it’s Chad’s turn to chuckle, but he can’t stop there. Soon his scoffs become laughs, and then what seems to be a mix of crying and bellowing that echo through the empty corridors of the stone cold prison they’re trapped in.

“Command?” Chad replies, wiping tears from his eyes, “Command of what? There’s nobody here! It’s just us!”

“Jesus, kid.” Captain Roberts says, “Is that all you do is complain? Ever since we lost you’ve treated it like the Goddamn Crucifixion.” He turns his head and coughs a fair amount of blood onto the walls. Chad bows his head and traces the sign of the Cross on his body.

“May Christ have mercy on your soul for making such a joke.” He says, raising his head. The Captain looks at him and tries to sit up. Chad puts his hands on the Captain’s shoulders and gently presses him back down. “You need to rest, sir.” The Captain’s attempt took much more out of him than expected. He begins to breathe heavy, as if he’d just run a marathon. Chad picks up a chair that’s been lying on the floor and sits down next to the Captain.

“I know you’ve suffered, lad.” Captain Roberts says, “We all have. But that’s no excuse to just abandon all this.” His hands wave around the room flimsily. Chad looks around and sighs.

“All what, sir? We don’t have anything. Everyone is either dead or captured. We’re on the losing side of a war and I don’t even know what it is we’re fighting for!” Chad’s voice breaks away again as he begins to shout. “I didn’t even want to be in this! I was dragged! I left a wife and a daughter behind, risking my life for reasons I’m still not sure of.” The Captain remains silent. His eyelids are halfway shut. “Sir.” Chad begins, “I’m sorry, but I have to go. There’s just too much blood here. I’ve had enough of this senseless massacre.” He stands up and turns to walk out the door. The Captain sputters.

“You think you’ll find a decent place to stand in this massacre?” Chad stops, and turns back towards the Captain. “Well there isn’t one. Everybody’s involved, like it or not.

“Well then what do you suggest I do, sir?”

“Stand with me. Keep up the good fight. We’re on the losing side against heaven, kid. They’ve got the power, but we’ve got the people. We may have sticks and stones compared to their rockets and lasers, but we’ve got a lotta sticks and stones.” The Captain’s eyelids flutter as he coughs more blood onto his pillow.

“You’re standing days are done, sir.” Chad says, “I mean no disrespect in that. You’re dying, and I’m all that’s left. This is my chance to leave, and to find a place where I can be at peace. Maybe start a new family. Have a life in exchange for the one that was taken from me. Everyone will just assume the whole ship’s been taken.” Chad bows his head. “I hope you understand. I was never meant to do this.” Chad looks up at the Captain. His eyes are closed and there are no white clouds that escape his mouth, which hangs open like an old fool who has fallen asleep drunk in his recliner.

Chad leaves the Captain’s quarters and marches up the hallway and to a steel door that’s sealed shut. To the side rests a digital keypad. Chad inputs a code, and the doors swiftly slide open. “Welcome, Lieutenant Harper.” A deep male voice echoes as Chad steps through into the flight deck. Outside the window lies an endless black ocean filled with little sparkling stars, along with several other ships that have been destroyed. Their debris float slowly across Chad’s view. He walks up to the center of the flight deck, where a digital map is displayed on the table. He looks down to see that a rendezvous point has been highlighted two Astronomical Units away, on a dead planet orbiting a Red Dwarf. Four Astronomical Units away lies another, more appealing place to park; a fairly new planet that was recently discovered and inhabited 200 years prior, called Geisa. Chad closes the map and takes a seat in the Captain’s chair. “How much fuel do we have, Mark?”

“Enough, Lieutenant Harper.” Mark replies.

“That’s not an answer. How many AUs can we travel given the damage?”

“Roughly five, Lieutenant. Where would you have me direct us?” Chad sits in his chair, one hand wrapped around his face and sweating, despite the freezing temperature. In his other hand lays the Captain’s silver bars. He stares at them, a look of anger quickly growing on his face.

“You son of a bitch.” Chad whispers as he pins the medal to his uniform.

“What was that, Lieutenant?”

“It’s Captain, Mark. And take us to the damn rendezvous point.”

The MECHANICS EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA (MESA) was an independent trade union of tool-and-die-makers. First active in the automobile industry of greater Detroit, Michigan, MESA was founded in 1933 and was “the first union to effectively establish itself in what had been a traditionally open shop strong, Detroit's mass production automobile industry.”[1] MESA's general secretary was English immigrant Matthew Smith.

Origins

The Mechanics Educational Society of America was founded by disgruntled members of the International Association of Machinists as an educational society. However, radical transplants from the United Kingdom like Smith, Frank McCracken, and John Anderson recognized the potential of the group and pushed for a full-fledged union. In June 1933, the U.S. Congress passed the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 which protected the collective bargaining rights of unions. A month later, MESA began an organizing drive in Detroit, Pontiac, Michigan, and Flint, Michigan which increased membership to approximately 5,000.[2]

Leading members

Longtime national secretary Matthew Smith, who had been active in the Amalgamated Engineering Union in England, refused to obtain U.S. citizenship, telling a U.S. Congress subcommittee: “I'm an internationalist, a citizen of the human race.”[3] Another prominent leader was Trotskyist Bert Cochran, who was a district organizer for MESA during the 1930s and 1940s.[4] However, Cochran led several MESA locals out of MESA and into the UAW.[5]

Membership and Locals

Membership in 1944 was approximately 42,000.[6] By 1935, the union had expanded out of Detroit into other cities with a significant amount of industrial workers, including Rome, New York,[7] Flint, Michigan, Toledo, Ohio, Cleveland, Ohio[8], Defiance, Ohio and the Connecticut cities of Torrington, New Haven, and Bridgeport.[9]

Federation and World War II

In July 1938, MESA rejected an invitation to merge with the recently-organized Congress of Industrial Organizations, citing “fundamental differences in policy” while also arguing the CIO's established union in the auto-industry, United Autoworkers (UAW), was run by a “quasi-dictatorship.”[10] In 1942, MESA became a founding member of the Confederated Unions of America. A 1944 article in the American Economic Review described the group as “...a class-conscious group far to the left of the AFL internationals and even most of the CIO affiliates.”[11]

MESA refused to adopt a no-strike pledge that other unions had agreed to during World War II. As such, it was targeted by the federal government via the National Labor Relations Board; in jurisdictional disputes with the CIO, the government consistently decided against MESA. In response, MESA's membership went on strike. In November 1944, United States Under Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson wrote to MESA's Smith saying “Your strikes...represent no honest grievance...You are striking our fighting men from the rear. The War Department insists these strike be stopped at once.” MESA refused to end the strike.[12]

Taft-Hartley and CIO Affiliation

In 1947, the Taft–Hartley Act became law. One of its provisions required union leaders to file affidavits with the United States Department of Labor declaring that they were not supporters of the Communist Party and had no relationship with any organization seeking the “overthrow of the United States government by force or by any illegal or unconstitutional means”, to which MESA acquiesced. The prevailing Red Scare, which began in 1947 and coincided with a period of McCarthyism, put a damper on popular support for radical unions like the Mechanics. In 1954, MESA absorbed the Metal and Machinery Workers Industrial Union (MMWIU), which had previously been affiliated with the Industrial Workers of the World. In December of that year, MESA and its 12,000 members affiliated with the former jurisdictional opponent in the CIO.[13] A year later, in December 1955, the CIO, with the Mechanics as an affiliate, merged with the AFL to form the AFL-CIO.

MESA members grew to 42000 by 1944 with the union expanding into cities like New York, and Cleveland. During World War II, MESA refused to sign a no-strike pledge that other unions agreed to. This brought the organization to loggerheads with the government.

After the war, the government enacted the Taft-Hartley Act which require union leaders to sign an affidavit stating that they are not supporters of the Communist Party and are not planning to overthrow the government. MESA proceeded to sign the agreement. The fear of communists and similar threats reduced the appeal of MESA over the years as their numbers dwindled.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What other organizations can be inspired or learn from the Mechanics Educational Society of America?

answer: Organizations that may be inspired by the Mechanics Educational Society of America are any unions.

answer: The Mechanics did not affiliate with any major union for many years. Another independence was beneficial for the survival of the young union and its members. However, by the end of WWII, the Mechanics found a need to affiliate with a larger organization. It was necessary to be affiliated with an international union rather than national one. It was also wise to be a part of a larger labor movement.

text: The response seems to be critiquing the MESA and not answering the question.

refinement: Similar unions can take inspiration from MESA's history.

answer: The uniformed answer is that the answer is not provided in the input.

text: The ideal response calls for speculation and deduction - an answer that is not present in the passage.

answer: Unions that protect their members' rights are able to flourish.

However, radical transplants from the United Kingdom like Smith, Frank McCracken, and John Anderson recognized the potential of the group and pushed for a full-fledged union.

answer: Unions that protect their members' rights are able to flourish.

answer: Any organizations that are focused on holding lessons to help others could benefit from this historic model. Governments or community-based agencies could use public tax money to provide these programs.

answer: Any tax based public organization providing social service programs could benefit from this historic model. Government agencies could use the same model and structure to give back to the community.

The guy I’m staring at is wearing a suit and tie. It’s pretty early in the morning, and it’s not surprising at all that he’d be hanging out at Starbucks for a few before going into work. His jacket’s front pocket has a golden round pin stabbed into it like one of those thermometers you stick into a steak to see if it’s ready to eat yet. It’s almost obvious that he stuck it in there because he had to for some corporate reason. I don’t care about it enough to try to read what it says or to get close enough to be able to do so in the first place. I DO wonder what kind of job he might have though.

I actually often wonder about what kinds of jobs office workers really do. I know they sit at cubicles or offices and type and enter information into a computer all day but that’s about it. Come to think of it, so many people simply call themselves an “office worker” but almost no one can truly explain what it is that they do. Do they, themselves, not fully grasp the nature of their own work? Are they spending 8 hours of the day doing things that they can’t even fully comprehend just because they’re getting paid and because it’s more respectable than working in retail or customer service?

Yeah, probably.

I just realized that I had zoned out while fixated on the man’s tie. I should adjust my eyes to see if I’m still awkwardly staring at the guy, but it actually looks like he’s already gone. He left his cup on table, as most people do when they have somewhere better to be. I might as well walk over and check if it’s full or not.

Empty.

Tossing it into the trash, I’m noticing that it just became much more crowded in here than it was about a minute ago. This must be the apex of the early morning rush where people are all shuffling around each other trying to get their drinks before everyone else in the hopes that they can make it to work early THIS time.

There’s a guy with headphones on in the line. Not the kind of headphones that office workers wear that are discreet little earbuds with a tiny microphone on the cord that is mostly used for sneaking in phone calls while on the job, but the kind that you use when you’re a DJ. It’s not really surprising since tons of people use headphones like that now. It became a trend somewhere to wear huge, colorful headphones almost as a representation of what kind of music you’re listening to. He’s also wearing a relatively thick hoodie, cargo pants and boots. I wonder what he could be doing in this early morning rush. He’s obviously not an office worker, or maybe he is and he changes at work for some reason.

Nah, no one does that.

There’s a sense of pride that comes with wearing formal wear to work. You work for a place that prides itself on at least LOOKING professional so you might as well flaunt it all the way to and from so that people can tell you’re not just some nobody out and about for no particularly important reason. As I say that though, this guy in the hoodie looks to be in much more of a rush than anybody else in here to the point where his leg won’t stop fidgeting. Maybe he has a job that’s more important than most of the people in here that are suited up at the moment. Then again, what REALLY makes a job important or worthwhile? Is it the pay, the satisfaction, the impact it has on the environment around you, the security of a stable life for you and your family, the potential for danger to hundreds of people if you screw it up? Does a job have to be fulfilling to be important? What rank of importance does a bus driver have whose job is to, potentially, get people to their own jobs?

Oh someone spilled a coffee on one of the tables. Good thing it was iced. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to help her clean it up. She’s kind of pretty and dressed rather fashionably so I’m probably just helping her because I subconsciously believe in the 1/1,000,000 chance that she’ll interrupt her busy day to try to start a conversation with me.

I think she barely drank anything because I’ve used about 10 napkins already mopping this up. That sucks, having to throw away a fresh coffee like that.

Well she was either in a rush, or really embarrassed because looking up from this mess, I can see that she’s vanished. I didn’t even hear her leave, though, to be honest, I doubt I could have picked anything out in this mob of energetic, yet unenthused people. Oh well, 999,999 more chances to go, yeah?

How long have I been in here? It feels like it’s been hours, but I think in reality, it’s only been about an hour. That’s a lot longer than it seems when you keep checking your phone for the time every couple of minutes. It’s almost like time slows itself down for you the more you pay attention to it. Like if it’s shy to move any faster while you’re watching.

Oh, the barista lady is motioning for me to come to the back. They must finally be ready for my interview.

The rules were simple, but the game itself impacts a lot thought. I have played this game with lots of people. I remember my first time. I told him, ‘here are the cards. There are five of them.’

The idea of the game is to have a card with a high number, but as you turn over a new card, you must discard the previous one. I tell him that every time I’ve showed someone else this game, they mostly make the same mistakes. I turn over the first card and reveal the very first number: [76]. When I first played even I thought, ‘is it out of a hundred?’ If it were out of a hundred, everyone would stick with the first card. But what if it were out of a thousand, or a million? It’s the uncertainty that makes people pick a second card. If they stuck with just seventy-six, and found out that the next card was in the thousands, they’d kick themselves.

Pete asked, “another card please?” Perhaps it was my long hair, but he wasn’t paying attention to me when I boldly said that almost everyone makes the same mistakes. The next card shows: [32]. The second card is about half the first value, but just below. People still think that it could possibly be out of a much larger number, and no matter what, thirty-two appears to be a scam. Without much delay, “another.”

I like to think that these cards represent opportunities in life. No one wants to look like a fool and stick with something when they don’t know its relative value. You’re offered five cards in this game, and they could hold any number, why stick with the first one? The next card reveals the number: [1]. “What? That’s horrible, I got the lowest number!” With two cards left, Pete’s next choice was predictable.

People are given first opportunities in many aspects of life. Whether it’s a job or love, people always wonder if there’s a better one out there. With no ability to compare, we are unable to decide if something is worth committing to. When Pete drew the number one, he felt bad for not sticking with either of the first two cards. Like a homeless person, he appreciates whatever he had before much more so.

Obviously the seventy-six would be most ideal, but normally if people are given the choice to go back to thirty-two or draw a new card, some would go back. “Well there’s nothing lower than one… I may as well turn over a new card. If it’s anywhere near around seventy-six I’m sticking with that.” By this point his hope for a thousand or maybe a million is gone, he now appreciates what he was given before. I turn over the new card, knowing what was coming. It’s never what people expect.

The new card shows: [0.01]. Pete’s assumption that one was the lowest number was a common mistake. Before he thought that things couldn’t be worse. While it would be nice if the next card were a million, or even just anything close to thirty, it really doesn’t matter anymore, he would accept a two. People with big dreams are unable to appreciate what they have. Why shouldn’t a child hope to be a millionaire or marry the most beautiful girl in the world? What is wrong with hoping for the best, and giving up on what you have to make room for something better? To Pete, seventy-six is now a large number, whereas before he doubted if it was even a fraction of the other cards held.

“I really should have stuck with seventy-six!” Pete laughs, as I smile. Perhaps this was all a lesson? Perhaps all it was for him to understand his mistakes, learn to appreciate what he’s given, and now he’ll be rewarded for that. Whether or not life treats him to a larger opportunity, he would walk away from this with a lesson learnt. Without waiting for him, I give him the final card. It’s blank.

I hope Pete, whoever he is, takes from this game a valuable lesson. Whether wealthy or poor, I hope he appreciates what he has. In the struggle to become better versions of ourselves, we put ourselves at risk of loss. Some would argue that, so long as we have our health it’s okay, that everything else is superficial; why not take the risk? But the fact is that we will only feel bad if we give up something we once had, not what we could have had. I tell Pete to enjoy the rest of his time at the fair, and give a bow to say goodbye.

When I looked up, he was gone. He turned over the card that had nothing on it, so as I packed them up I collected all of the other cards first. I put them face down over the fifth card to put it away in the small box they came in. But before I do, I glanced at the bottom of the fifth card. Seventy-six was written in ink.

’MARTEINN EINARSSON (died 7 October 1576) was bishop of Skálholt from 1548 to 1556. He was the second Lutheran bishop and was directly involved in the Icelandic Reformation.

Early life

Marteinn was born in Staðarstaður on the Snæfellsnes peninsula to the poet Einar Ölduhryggjarskáld and Ingiríður Jónsdóttir. Marteinn's family had a tradition of serving as priests. His father, Einar, was a priest in Staðarstaður from about 1500 until his death in 1538, and Ingiríður's brother, , had served as bishop of Skálholt from 1491 to 1518. Marteinn's siblings included the sheriffs and Brandur Einarsson, known as Gleraugna-Pétur and Moldar-Brandur respectively, as well as a sister, Guðrún, the wife of the magistrate Daði Guðmundsson.

Marteinn spent nine years studying in England, where another of his sisters lived after marrying an Englishman, before returning to Iceland to work as a merchant in Grindavík.

Bishop

In 1533, Marteinn became a priest, serving in Staðarstaður after his father's death. He was an early supporter of the Reformation, and in 1548, Marteinn was elected bishop of Skálholt after the death of Gissur Einarsson, the first Lutheran bishop in Iceland. [1] Despite an effort by the Catholic bishop Jón Arason, the primary opponent of the spread of Protestantism in Iceland, to have named bishop instead, Marteinn was consecrated in Denmark as bishop of Skálholt on 7 April 1549.[2]

Upon his return to Iceland that summer, Marteinn was arrested by Jón's sons, Ara and Björn Jónsson, who detained him at Ara's farm at Möðrufell. Marteinn remained detained until after the Battle of Sauðafell in 1550, where Daði Guðmundsson defeated Jón Arason, ending organized Catholic resistance to the Reformation, at which time he formally took control of the bishopric of Skálholt.[3]

In 1555, Marteinn published the first Icelandic hymnal, _Lítið Psálmakver_.[4] Marteinn served as bishop until 1557, when he resigned in protest of claims by the king decision to appropriate church tithes.[5] He returned to Staðarstaður where he served as a priest until his retirement in 1569.

Personal life

Marteinn was married to Ingibjörg, whose father's name is unknown. They had four sons and two daughters. Marteinn lived out his retirement in where he published a collection of psalms and was considered a good painter, although none of his paintings are known to survive.[6] He died in 1756.

Fiction

Marteinn appears in Ólafur Gunnarsson's 2003 historical novel _Öxin og jörðin_ (translated into English as _The Ax and the Earth_), which is set amid Jón Arason's struggle against the Icelandic Reformation.

I sat outside of the kitchen door, ass firmly planted on the cold concrete steps that led up to the service entrance. It was raining out, so I had to Macgyver an umbrella against the loose steel railing to protect my cigarette. It had taken a few soaking tries, but I needed this damn thing.

We had just gotten through the Friday night dinner rush. Three hours of nonstop tickets, endless re-makes, shouting, whining, crying. Servers fucking up tickets. Cooks fucking up orders. The manager going red from screaming at us.

I raised a hand to my cheek and wiped some of the rain away.

The fucking manager. I was on fry. We had a bad string of sendbacks: Turns out the middle fryer hadn't been cleaned last night, and shit was coming out black.

I'm not sure how that's my fault. Well, I guess I should have paid attention, but I'm not the one cleaning the damn things.

I had tried to explain that, as eloquently as one can explain something with hot food in one hand, a fryer handle in the other, and a towering kitchen manager shouting and spraying sweat on me from about three inches away.

I took another long pull on my cigarette. The others usually came out here after a rush. Three or four of us, not to mention one or two servers, maybe a bartender, even a manager or two.

But everyone else had stayed inside, and it wasn't just the rain.

I had gotten reamed out pretty fucking hard, and this time I had given some shit back. I had thrown things. I mean, they threw things first, but they were management. We had all seen what Gordon Ramsey does to cooks on TV. The cooks don't get to come back, they just have to take it.

Tonight I hadn't taken it, and my current seclusion was a clue that maybe that wasn't the best option.

Fuck, I was going to get fired.

I tried not to think of it. I brought my cigarette up again and yelped when it burned my fingers.
Felt like I had just lit the fucker.

I reached down to fish another out when my fingers brushed against my phone. My hand froze, time slowing down.

I didn't want to get fired, but...

I pulled the phone out, flicking it on and pulling up the browser. It was still on my bank account, just like it had been the past three days

I re-entered the password, checking my balance.

$47,349.43.

I forced myself to swallow, letting out a shuddering breath. $47 grand.

I checked the deposits again.

Work paycheck, work paycheck, work paycheck. Each one around $900, bi-weekly.

No where in the deposits did it mention the $40,000 I had received three days ago, nor the $10,000 three days before that.

Hand trembling, I tapped the little rectangle to pull away from my bank account. I swiped to my pictures.

Me and my work buddies out drinking last night. One of the servers getting way too close to one of the bartenders. Phil, the dish guy, with a bunch of shots in front of him. Probably spent a week's pay out with us last night.

I kept swiping.

Abigail, her long, dark hair spilling out from a little baseball cap. Her mother, Jane, stood with her, smiling. They were at a baseball game somewhere. Jane hated my guts, but she wasn't going to keep our daughter's happiness from me.

I swiped again.

My brother, holding a fish up in the middle of a big white boat, somewhere in the Atlantic.

A woman I didn't know, her hair short and sandy blonde. An older man with a beer to his lips.

My dad, laying in a hospital bed, making a stupid face as my sister posed solemnly next to him. I couldn't help but grin at that old man.

A few more swipes, mostly photos of people I didn't know. A little guy with big muscles standing by my fryer and grinning, three twenty-something year old women sticking their tongues out, drinks in hand. Two guys with their arms around my neck, all three of us dressed in tuxedos.

The door behind me slammed, announcing a new arrival. I twisted back to look up, hoping it wasn't the kitchen manager.

Somehow, it was worse.

The man behind me was about six feet tall, dressed in a black business suit with a matching bowler. He didn't carry an umbrella but his clothes seemed to be shrugging off the rain, sending it splashing away whenever it touched the fabric.

“Awful day for a smoke, Mr. Wilson.” He noted, coming over to sit beside me.

“Awful day for anything.” I replied, trying to keep the tremor from my voice.

“Were you pleased with our last gift?” He asked casually, moving one white-gloved hand towards my phone and flicking through it. He brought up my account again.

“Yes, sir. Thank you very much. It was quite generous.”

He flashed a toothy smile at me, leaning closer.

“You're taking a lot more pictures lately.”

I swallowed but didn't reply.

“Why is that?” He continued.

“Please...” I whispered, looking down. “I don't need any more. You've been so generous, but... no more.”

“It doesn't work that way, John.”

My fist clenched. I wanted to strike him, but I knew that would be pointless. The rain couldn't touch him. I didn't even know what he was.

“But it's not all bad!” The man said cheerily. He tapped my screen again. “You're going to be rich! Are you ready?”
“No...” But I knew I didn't have a choice.

I felt a hand on my hand, it slid up slowly to the back of my head. There was a white flash. A searing pain in the back of my skull. I whimpered pitifully.

I saw something on the edge of my peripheral vision, a glowing green light. It winked out as I turned to look at it.

The man smiled at me warmly, moving his hand back to my phone and tapping on the screen twice.
My balance blurred, then updated.

$247,349.43.

I felt my throat go dry. That was so much money. An unbelievable amount. I could buy Abigail anything she wanted.

Then the panic hit me.

I clicked back to my photos.

Me and my co-workers, the server and bartender, the dishwasher, Abigail and her mother, my brother and the fish. I kept swiping.

More faces I didn't know. The woman with short hair, the man with the beer, my sister posing solemnly next to some goofy old man in a hospital bed.

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about the qualities that make a good cook?

answer: No answer

text: The answer is implied. By taking the issues that the narrator was talking about, one can discern the opposite of traits that make a good cook.

refinement: The story does not directly state it, but some elements can help make a good cook. First would be a good working environment free of harassment and equipment that is well maintained. Second is when the other people in the kitchen are able to maintain a professional conduct. Looking at these two elements, these are external factors that helps make a good cook. Internally, the only thing stated is to not "fuck up" an order, which could mean anything from bad cooking to taking too long to prepare a dish, but the story does not provide specifics.

Taking a deep breath, Daniel turned the knob. He walked into the room trying to assess his surroundings quickly while still maintaining his composure. The room was medium sized. Guards flanked the doors and lined the walls. The table in the center contained a machine, placed in front of its terrified operator, and wires leading towards--Daniel heard the door lock behind him, sealing him in with that ... _thing_. The creature lay in the center of the room, its presence consuming and demanding. It did nothing to warrant this attention, it lacked even the slightest hint of movement, yet it commanded the attention of every human. Daniel approached the table.

His steps reverberated throughout the room, cleaving the silence.

Each step brought discomfort.

Daniel hid is unease.

He wore his face like a mask.

But, his eyes tore the room apart instinctively, looking for separation.

Yet, he continued forward.

Daniel closed the distance between him and the thing until he was close enough to look down upon it.

He dragged the chair back. There was a sigh of relief in the room as the sound put an end to the silence. The guards readjusted their weapons; the operator began to fiddle with his equipment; and the thing … rippled. Perhaps it was a welcoming-- Daniel sneered, or a challenge. Daniel looked at the operator who continued to nervously fiddle with his equipment in a transfixed manner.

Daniel quickly lifted his briefcase onto the table, unconsciously determined to keep the silence at bay. The briefcase opened with a satisfying click. He spread the pages across his end of the table. He hadn’t even had time to read up on the literature before he was rushed here, so he slowly began to rustle through the documents one by one.

In one of the dossiers, Daniel saw pictures of the thing taken a few hours ago when it had first arrived. It looked ... different. Daniel dared a glance at the thing. It was duller now, more opaque, than it was in the photos. Its “flaps” and “fins” drooped, and its entire body looked like it was being compressed and squashed against the table. It reminded him of melted ice cream. Daniel’s stomach churned and he looked back down towards the reports. He only scanned the next fifty pages. In total, the reports said nothing about it in thousands of words. It was an enigma and unlike anything else.  He was the first. He had his shot before even the scientists could get their hands on it. He didn’t know whether to feel honored or terrified.

Daniel noticed a slight noise coming from the receiver on the table. Grimacing, Daniel picked up the receiver and placed it in his ear. He disliked this but it was “standard” procedure.

“What do you think you’re doing?” a voice demanded.

Daniel did not recognize the voice but it was filled with an arrogance that enraged him. Daniel turned his steely gaze towards one of the cameras.

“I assume you’d like me to know what it is exactly that I’m doing sir. Perhaps next time you should give me more time to read th--“

“Colonel Lehmann! You were sent to communicate with the threat and decide the best course of action. Now if you are incapable of this very simple task you will be relieved. Understood?”  That was the Secretary of Defense. How many bureaucrats hid in the shadows, watching with safety behind their cameras and walls? If you turned on a light would they scatter…?

“Crystal,” said Daniel.

He slid his papers away, clearing the field. He looked back at the thing’s side. It seemed even duller than the last time he had looked but he couldn’t be sure. Daniel nodded to the operator and received a shaky thumbs-up.

They were good to go. “Why are you here?” Daniel inquired.

The machine began to beep as the operator quickly worked on deciphering each letter into dots and dashes. Finally the operator slumped back into his seat. He fidgeted with items near him to occupy himself until it answered--if it answered.

Daniel felt the hairs on his neck rise and tasted ozone. There was a sharp crack as the operator dropped his pencil. Daniel looked around to see that the guards had raised their weapons slightly and the operator was stiff with his eyes staring straight out, staring slightly past the thing, like a deer caught in headlights. They sensed it too. The machine began to hiss with static. Then the voices began, like several people speaking at once, not fighting for air but sharing it.

“We are here as messengers,” the voices said.

Then the bureaucrats began. It started with disconcerted mumbling occasionally loud enough to be transmitted and then broke out into yelling and arguments. Daniel rubbed his temples. They were already at each other’s throats. Doing his best to ignore the receiver, Daniel glanced around the room admiring the unflinching guards. They held their weapons with a trained ease, confident in the superiority they provided. But in such a case as this, could they really be sure?

“What do you mean by “we?” Daniel said.

“Those who stand before you and those we represent.”

The thing’s--perhaps things’-- antennae gave a lazy dismissive flick. Could it really be multiple creatures?

“What are you?”

“There is no auditory representation of us. You may choose your own.”

“How many of you are here?”

“Just us.” The thing began to ripple more erratically. “We do not have time for this.”

Daniel leaned forward, “What is your message?”

“End all emission of electrical signals--immediately.”

The noise from the receiver broke into a roar. The bureaucrats knew exactly what was at stake. Economies would be crippled. Society and development would be flung decades back. Preventing a few people out of seven billion from using electrical signals is infeasible. Most importantly, even if it were possible, reelection after implementing such a procedure would not be.

“You want us to turn off all our wireless transmissions?”

The creature … expanded. “Yes.”

“We cannot.” Even with the continuous yelling, the humans listening in seemed to agree on this much. Daniel waited for the operator to transmit his message. He was slow in doing so, and his actions and responses were slurred like a man in daze.

Before the operator had transmitted the message, the static hissed from the machine again, causing the operator to nearly leap backwards into the arms of one of the guards.

“Why?!”

Daniel nearly flinched. His heartbeat quickened and he had to forcefully pace himself. In an effort to mask his unease he nonchalantly motioned for someone to bring him water. Daniel turned his impassive face towards the thing again with renewed hostility.

 “We do not trust you.” He heard the bureaucrats murmur an agreement--the stars must have been aligned.

The fins rippled and groups of voices took turns to speak, “Your emissions are a beacon, a beacon that could lead them to us or yourselves. They are close. And if they find you, they will destroy us all.”

“Who are they?”

“Nomads. Parasites. Conquerors. If they find you it will only be a matter of time before you reveal us. You _must_ stop”

Additional Info: This was originally a homework assignment. It's been long since completed and submitted and I wish to continue it for my own benefit. However, I feel like I hit a wall in the writing and can't continue. I want the encounter to end with hostility but I cannot get it to unfold in such a manner. Any critique and suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

What does the story say about the protagonist?

answer: The protagonist goes to a room to talk with a being. He seems unaffected by the room's tension. The narrator notes the protagonist's eyes darting to look for a way out of the room. However, the protagonist goes to the center of the room to talk with the being. He's tasked with finding out the beings agenda.

The narrator notes the protagonist's eyes darting to look for a way out of the room. However, the protagonist goes to the center of the room to talk with the being. He's tasked with finding out the beings agenda.

answer: The protagonist seems to be firm and critical, even though he is uneasy with the unusual circumstances. Despite the risks, he still hears the message, compares it to what the other humans say, and engages the creature in a dialogue. Ultimately, the protagonist is able to withstand the pressure of a difficult decision and focus on what needs to be done.

Daniel was given the first shot at the creature even before the scientists could get their hands on it. He doesn't know whether to feel honored or terrified.

text: could name the protagonist

refinement: The protagonist, Colonel Daniel Lehmann, is difficult to read at first, but seems to be strong-willed, dedicated, and determined. He also seems well-prepared for what he's about to face.

answer: The protagonist is Daniel. He's described as a very careful, cold womanizer. He doesn't trust that the thing on the table isn't going to kill him because it is without form, a myriad of voices, and can be hostile. He relies on his guard for protection and also feels superiority because he wears the pants. His team of advisors sift through his files as if he has more power than necessary. Overall, he is never described in a heroic way, but it's tough to have a personification of evil when the depictions are flat black and white, and not from the narrator's perspective.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the story say about the creature?

answer: The creature is presumably an alien that has no auditory representation. It had "flaps", "fins", antennae, and was becoming more opaque. It seemed duller than in previous photos and its body rippled. The creature had no shape and appeared to be compressed and squashed against the table, like melted ice cream. It referred to itself as "we" like it was more than one creature, and says that they are messengers.

answer: The creature is described as a threat that needs to be stopped due to its ability to potentially lead others to its creators. The creature is both dangerous and mysterious.

text: This is inaccurate

It referred to itself as "we" like it was more than one creature, and says that they are messengers.

answer: The creature is contained in the center of the room. It did nothing to warrant attention but commanded of all humans. It floats in the center of the room occupying attention to the rest of the place. Its movements are subtle, their intent is not. Crews getting accustomed to the silence hisses at the slightest movement of what looked like tentacles extending out of a semi-melted ice cream covered in spikes.

It referred to itself as "we" like it was more than one creature, and says that they are messengers.

answer: The creature is seen as a threat to humanity. The creature has requested the cessation of all wireless transmissions, but humans view this as unfeasible and impractical. The creature is mysterious and many questions remain unanswered. It is seen as dangerous and untrustworthy by the bureaucrats. The creature possesses some sort of power and knowledge that is seen as necessary to protect humanity.

answer: The creature contains multiple creatures that arrived in the electronics equipment of humans. The creature seems capable of controlling the minds of humans, having the operator tell Daniel to end electrical transmission from international transmissions.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the alien creature want?

answer: The alien creature wants humans to end all emission of electrical signals immediately. It said that the emissions are a beacon that could lead Nomads, Parasites, and Conquerors (presumably hostile alien races) to the humans and therefore to them. The creature says that these hostile aliens are close and they will destroy them.

answer: The alien creature wants humans to end all electrical transmissions.

answer: It wants earthlings to stop all wireless transmissions.

text: This is inaccurate

refinement: It wants earthlings to stop all electrical emissions.

answer: The creature wants all humans to cease emitting any electrical signals immediately. This is because electrical signals would work as "beacons" that could lead the creature's enemies to them. The creature believes that if their enemies find them it would result in their destruction.

answer: The alien creature wants humanity to discontinue all wireless transmissions in order to stop the "Nomads" from uncovering them.

text: This is inaccurate

refinement: The alien creature wants humanity to discontinue all electrical emissions in order to stop the "Nomads" from uncovering them.
