===== The Rest of Their Life =====

==== Bedtime Story ====

//The following is an extract from the acclaimed children's book 'One Bell, Two Bell, Red Bell, Blue Bell'.//

One Bell\\
Two Bell\\
Red Bell\\
Blue Bell\\

This Bell has a house in space\\
This Bell has a gentle face\\
There's a Bell\\
For every place\\

Their hats are red (though some are blue)\\
And some are old, while some are new\\

Some are quiet\\
Or hard to find\\
But all of them are very kind\\

Some are short\\
And some are tall\\
But each of them\\
Protects us all\\

So every time the world seems grey\\
Captain Bell\\
Will save the day\\



==== A Home Away From Home ====

**CONSTRUCTION REPORT:** Station //Eurybia//

Hey, Captain. Captains? How many of you am I reporting to here, exactly? Well, anyway, that's beside the point. Just letting you know that construction of the //Eurybia// is almost up to scratch, just as the three of you requested. We've set it up as a hexagonal station, with docking ports on each vertex. We've created walkways from each docking port leading to a centralised living area, and per your request(s), we've hollowed out a central bit and made sure it's always in view of the nearest star, so that you might be able to use it as a greenhouse of sorts. I did think it looked a bit like a spider's web when we were working on it, but I checked with that Kedalian donor, and she said that that was fine. Anyway, should be just about ready for all of you to move into! We had a Mr Bernes come round the other day to bring his luggage over - said he was one of yours, just let us know if he isn't. Hope you like it, Captain(s), it's been an honour to work for you!

==== Writeup ====

//It's not just with young children that the legend of Captain Carmel Bell has proven popular. The 'Saviours of the Systems' comic book franchise have recently released the latest copy of their 'Hell's Bells' series; the following is an extract from Issue 38://

**KAPOW!**

'Carmel A, this is Carmel C - my //Astraios// isn't going to be able to take much more, I'll need some covering fire!'

'Roger that, Carmel A, I'm on your six now; Carmel B, are you reading-'

**BAM!**

'Carmel B?!'

'I'm okay, we just took a hit! Cyrus, get to the cannons, quick! Carmel A and Carmel C, can you get people on the cannons on your end?'

'You can't be thinking-'

'That's exactly what I'm thinking!'
