Day 10-Duty-Bound
Day 10-Flora
Other Stories
Other Days
Charles Hatt stepped down from Clarabel into grass that nearly reached the doors of the coaches in places, the mine’s abandoned equipment looking for all the world like monsters of a lost world beneath the vines covering them.
The rails creaked but held under Cassandra's weight, the engine staring ahead at the shed at the end of the mine sidings.
“I assume this is where you've hidden an engine?” He asked as he helped Amanda and Barbara down from the coach, Stephen and Bridget, clambering down eagerly by themselves.
“Five of them,” Cassandra said solemnly.
“Your father wanted to be here for this,” Stephen looked back to see his Mother climbing down from Annie, her face usually serious. “But someone had to distract the other railway while you came, and he was best for the job.”
Charles snorted, his liaison with the Other Railway had looked panicked when he informed them his father would be covering for him while he took a day's vacation with his family.
“I’m sorry.” Cassandra said suddenly.
Charles turned to the tank engine, confused, “Whatever for?”
She looked back, meeting his gaze, “for lying to you.”
“I don't understand.”
“You will when you open the shed.”
His mother placed a hand on his shoulder, “She didn't lie to hurt you, but to protect others.”
He glanced back towards his mother, then back to Cassandra, “why do I have the feeling I won't like what I find.” He asked cautiously.
“You’ll like what you find,” the tank engine promised, “but you may not like me very much after.”
“Or me.” Barbara added before he could reply. He glanced back toward his sister in confusion.
“I helped hide them,” she said, as if that was supposed to explain anything.
His mother looked back at her sister with a frown, “I wasn't aware of that.”
Barbara looked defiant, “I fired Thomas that night, as Johnathan was unwell.”
Charles looked towards the shed in uncertainty, did he want to know something that was already causing this much trouble within his family?
His wife, bless her, knew him well enough to answer. She took his hand, “You won't be able to rest until you know.”
He nodded, “you're right as alway dear.”
He squared his shoulders, he was the Fat Controller of the North Western Railway. The Other Railway had not beaten him, neither would this. He strode forward and opened the shed door slowly but with purpose.
It took for a second for his eyes to adjust to the darkness in the shed, but when he did, his knees nearly gave out.
“Charles!” Amanda cried, but he was already scrambling forward.
“Hello to you too little brother,’ Toryreck rumbled happily. Elsbridge, Callan, and Glynn also greeting him.
Alive! They were Alive!
His siblings were ali…
A sudden realization broke over him like a tidal wave of icey water, chilling him to the bone.
He turned slowly, “you knew.” He said.
“You knew and let me think they were dead!?!?” He was unable to keep his voice from rising into a shout.
“You're mother only found out a few weeks ago,” Cassandra said mildly, “we’ve been trying to get you here ever since.”
She then sighed softly, “but yes, we knew.”
Charles grit his teeth against the hot ball of anger in his stomach.
‘A man who lets his anger control him is a fool. Don't be a fool as I have been far too many times.’ His fathers words came to him and he forced himself to breathe deeply, before responding.
“Why.” He snapped. “Why would you let me think they were dead?” A part of him noted he still had work to do on controlling his temper.
“Because they are not the only ones,” Cassandra, no Caomhnóir, said. “If it had just been them, I would have told you that day…”
“But they had been hiding engines for years at that point,” Barbara said. “Revealing them risked revealing them all.”
“They were our siblings!,” Charles glared at his sister, “and you let me believe they were dead!”
“When was I supposed to tell you?” Barbara demanded, “By the time you returned they had been hidden for over a year and it was clear you would become the new Fat Controller. Sodor couldn’t risk having you compromised in any way, or the Other Railway would take over.”
“Then why now?” He asked, “I’m Controller for the North Western Railway, it's more of a risk now then ever.”
His sister smirked, “because you said railway, not region.”
He fell quiet at the accusation, his sister smirked at him.
“You know what we're up against. The Other Railway has ordered all steam engines scrapped. Sodor will stand the gap. The Lady demands it.”
Charles understood what she wasn’t saying, “I was gonna find out no matter what.”
“And they would come for you no matter what.” His sister finished
“I couldn’t justify keeping this from you any longer.” Cassandra spoke up.
Charles sighed, suddenly exhausted, aware his job had become not only more difficult, but far more important. He laid a hand on Toryreck’s bufferbeam and glanced over to Cassandra, trying to gather his thoughts.
“When father told me about you being Caomhnóir,” he began, “I thought that being the Lady’s Champion meant dealing with the occasional ghost engine, not saving the steam engine from extinction.”
Cassandra blushed. “In my defense,” she said, “your father told me that if a Lady asked for something within your abilities, it would be very rude to refuse them without good reason.”
“It was one of the times I was mad at him wasn't it,” his mother asked dryly.
“I didn't ask…but most likely.”
Charles sighed, there was nothing for it. He had a job to do, and Hatts didn't back down from their duty.
He looked up at the tank engine, “alright little sister, what do you need from me?”
A/N: Hello Loves! As the summary says, this takes place between chapters 3 and 4 of 'A Life Well Lived.' If this feels familar to you, its because we saw his father react to the same reveal. Love Y'all!

somebody on the (overcrowded, three carriage) train talking about Our Railway Heritage with some "community rail" programme uniform on
China doesn't have much of a Railway Heritage and probably don't have third sector railway liaisons (although commies are commies the world around). instead they have trains that aren't cancelled and are cheap

North Korea to completely cut roads, rail links to South Korea
North Korea’s General Staff said on Wednesday that the escalating situation on the Korean Peninsula requires “more decisive measures” for the country’s security, prompting Pyongyang to close roads and railways with South Korea, Korean media reported.
The announcement portends a further escalation of activity near the demarcation line separating the two Koreas, which has been rare in recent years – until this year.
North Korea has been planting mines and barriers and creating wastelands along the heavily militarised border for months this year despite accidents, South Korea’s military said in July.
A statement from the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army, reported by the KCNA news agency, said it was in response to military drills conducted by South Korea, which it called “a major hostile state and an unchanging main enemy,” as well as frequent visits by US strategic nuclear forces to the region.
South Korea’s defence ministry said in a statement that the United Nations Command (UNC) had been notified of the issue but declined to give specific details.
South Korea is in close liaison and co-operation with the UNC over North Korea’s statement, the ministry added.
The US-led UN Command is a multinational military force overseeing the situation in the demilitarised zone between the two Koreas, which technically remain at war.
In January, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un proposed constitutionally designating South Korea as a major enemy and called for the term “compatriots” for South Korean residents to be dropped. Earlier, Kim Jong Un threatened to use nuclear weapons in case of an attack on the DPRK.

In Memoriam
First there were the sparkle of a new century; the splendour of the Universal Expositions; the race to progress; the series of calm, serene Sundays; the swaying gait of the Apaches and of the hips of dactylos on a spree in the guinguettes of the banks of the Seine or the Marne. Trips to the mountains or to spa towns, for a sunny Sunday. The trend of sea baths; again and forever, a time of long dresses, hat pins, hat veils and sunshades to protect oneself from the sun; the first fevers of the metropolitan; the magic of tramways. A smell of rail and electricity.
There were the shapes of the Art Nouveau, the fashion of stem-like women with vegetal curves, who were starting to escape and free themselves from their corsets. Parisian ladies had large hats and tiny feet. Men were smoking their first Gauloises. There were of course, riots and strikes: electricians, civil servants, site workers, postmen, bar waiters, taxi drivers. Men wanted to build and shape their destiny. They wanted a better share of the riches of the world.
There was the Montmartre of the painters and the Bateau-Lavoir; the first aerial meetings; the Paris flooding; the comet of Halley passing by; the appearance of the first tangos; the first music halls; the inauguration of the Vél'd'Hiv and the Gaumont Palace; the theft of the Mona Lisa; the end of the Bande à Bonnot; the publication of La Guerre des Boutons; the meeting between Yvonne de Quiévrecourt and Alain-Fournier under the trees of the Cours La Reine, which so narrowly missed the Goncourt prize; the first phone cabins; the electrification of the railway; the first Michelin maps; the fashion of caps et boaters; the invention of esperanto.
It was peace. The promise of a new dawn, the carefree spirit of summer, the peace of fields spattered with cornflowers and poppies which were waiting the sickle of the harvester or the knife of the thrasher.
They were seventeen, twenty-five, or thirty. Many wore their hair short, and moustaches. Many had the rough neck and hands of the worker, a laborer's worn fingers, a turner's or mechanic's broken nails. There were grooms, land surveyors, bakers, butlers, office boys, clerk notaries, butchers, schoolteachers, peddlers, copywriters, cow keepers, porters, shepherds, priests, grinders, cooks, toolmakers, clerks, chauffeurs, footmen, tinsmiths, deliverers, boilermakers, newsboys, barbers, railway workers, waiters, postmen, intellectuals, factory workers, bourgeois, aristocrats and saddlers.
Suddenly there were civilians, career soldiers, conscripts, reservists, artillery men, navy men, infantry men, zouaves, aviators, pioneers, stretcher-bearers, liaison officers, telegraphers, non-commissioned officers, submariners, cooks, adjudtants, generals, lieutenants, chaplains, canteen-workers, cavalry men, bleus, rappelés, permissionnaires, etc… Suddenly, were the Poilus.
Their handwriting was round or sharp; it had the delicacy of the quill or the thick stroke of the ink pen. Their names were Gaston, Jean, Auguste, Marcel, Louis, Alexandre, Edmond, Martin, Antoine, Etienne, Maurice, Albert, Henri, Roger, René… Their wives or their mothers were named Félicie, Léontine, Hortense, Louise, Honorine, Clémence, Marguerite, Berthe, Germaine, Yvonne, Marthe…
All of them travellers without baggage who had to leave their families, their fiancees, their wives, their children. Leave there their office, their lathe, their kneader, their workshop or their stable. Don the poorly cut uniform, the garance trousers, the bumpy képi. Take on the too heavy barda and put on the cleated shoes.
They knew very soon that this war was senseless. From false hopes to false hopes, from last battles to last battles, they ended up unable to project the end of the war whose actors they were, and whose usefulness wasn't so obvious anymore to them.
Out of eight million mobilised between 1914 and 1918, over two million young men never saw again the belltower of their village. Their names are carved in the cold stone of the monuments of our cities and towns. And when the church goes quiet, when the school is closed, when the train station is shut down, when silence reigns over these places that became hamlets, remain these lists of words, these lists of names and surnames keeping the memory of a France whose countryside was so populated.
Over four million men survived only after they suffered grievous wounds, their body broken, amputated, marked, bitten, their flesh torn, when they weren't seriously mutilated. Others got out apparently intact: they still lived with the memory of the horror they had lived for over fifty months, the memory of blood, of the stench of rotting corpses, of the bursting of shells, of stinking mud, of vermin, the memory of the obscene smirk of Death. They had for them the systematic and reoccuring lash of nightmares for the rest of their days and with it the anguished, unanswered cry, the cry for their mothers. They lived with the words reminding them of sights whose horror they would never forget: Galipoli, Verdun, the Chemin des Dames, Arlon-Vitron, the mill of Laffaux, the Somme, Ypres, Péronne, Montmirail, Douaumont, the Fort of Vaux…
Over eight thousand people answered the call of Radio France: eight thousand letters, meaning that many families searching, into a coffer in the attic, between the yellowed pages of family photo albums, for the memory of their fathers', grandfathers', ancestors' lives.
These words written in the mud aren't eighty, or eighty-five years old; they are one day old. They have the whole strength of a life all the more intense since it was so close to the abyss, since it was looking at death every second.
We do not claim to do a historian's work by gathering in a few weeks so many powerful and intense documents: our purpose is before all humanist and literary. We simply meant to let these cries of the soul, entrusted to quill and crayon, be heard, like so many bottles thrown to the sea, which should stimulate for future generations the duty of memory, the duty of vigilance, the duty of humanity.

As RCMP drop charges on Wet’suwet’en, OPP advance colonial agenda by charging over 20 Mohawks for standing up against genocide
Kanenhariyo was arrested and “tricked” by Napanee OPP who imposed “no protest” conditions; 9-10 more arrests of Mohawk Warriors are anticipated in coming days; the first court date for all the Warriors is in Napanee on August 11, 2020.
TYENDINAGA MOHAWK TERRITORY – On Thursday July 9th, the OPP arrested Kanenhariyo, a vocal supporter of the Wet’suwet’en and the main Mohawk liaison with the police during the Tyendinaga rail shutdown in February of 2020. Kanenhariyo, like 20 other Mohawk Warriors who have already been charged, is facing three charges: “Mischief 430(3) CCC,” “Disobey Court Order 127 CCC,” and “Enter Land Where Line Work Situation 26.1” under the Railway Safety Act.
OPP Detective Karin Richer, who arrested Kanenhariyo, informed him that the OPP was looking to charge another “9 or 10” people that they hadn’t yet reached because of Covid-19. All of those charged are to attend court together at the Ontario Superior Court at 41 Dundas St. West, in Napanee, at 9:30am.
The OPP has imposed conditions on all of those arrested not to communicate with each other and “Not to participate in protests or demonstrations of any kind.” According to Detective Richer, “The condition not to participate in protest or demonstrations is there to prevent what happened throughout the month of February from happening again.” Detective Richer added that the OPP was trying to prevent any actions that would “cause discord” or “that cause mischief in the community.”
