The Name's Oliver - Ben Oliver. Ch. 159: Duty vs Ethics, Pt. II

Spying Strong, Part 2 - Tomba & chetanhaobijam

Tomba's Notes:

Dear Sir Oliver,
Tomba Singh reporting.

As ordered, I went to work out. And here are my details:
Location: Home.
Equipment: Exercise Queen/Weight machine.
Type: Don't break a sweat.



I wanted to gain muscle so I used the weight machine. It was late and also night time, so I had to work out at home. I used the 'Don't break a sweat' type of work-out so I wouldn't have to stop and shower. I also gained an atheletic skill level before becoming fatigued.



So, the results:
Start time of Work out session: 4:00pm.
Finish time of Work out session: 7:34pm.
Work out time before becoming fatigue: 3 hours 34 minutes simtime{3 minutes 34 seconds realtime}

Tomba's Comments:
This assignment was easy to perform. Due to being late from work, I had to work out in home on my weight machine. It was a long 3 and half hours, but I complete the assignment without breaking a sweat.

Tomba Singh,
Over and Out.

Great to see/read Jasper assignment, can't wait for other group's assignments.

[Sherry]

Hmm, the first two contestant just could get about 3 hours... Wonder if anyone could get past that timerange 

[RaiaDraconis]

Well, Jas didn't have even a hint of athletic skill when he started. I imagine that at least a few of the others will do better.

I agree that the lack of comments were due to lack of something to comment on! Definitely want more Ben! I think I could probably continue reading this story until you stop writing and if you don't stop writing, well, then I won't stop reading! You're an amazing author Schip and we are all hugely lucky to be the recipients of your stories

Ditto here.  I've read everything you've written on this forum, so as long as you're writing, I'll be reading.

Thank you very much, Magpie and Magz!  I really appreciate your interest in the story, and I'm very glad to hear that you haven't gotten bored with it.

Spying Strong, part 3 - Keira & Swirl-Girl

Keira's Journal Notes:

I purposefully stationed myself so I could get a view of as much as possible.
I started up at about 4:50, the crazies always show up rather late to the party.



Victoria Andrews and... Madison VanWatson? The fairy, they quickly began to race.



Nick Alto planted himself on the machine next to me as Vita watched. Or maybe she was watching me. Is she onto me?



When I began to smell of something besides roses she fled. I peered over the edge of the balcony in an attempt to see what she was doing.



Apparently the hag keeps a swimsuit under that ridiculous fur coat.



She hopped out and began gossiping with, Nancy Landgraab? Oh, the dramas of the astonishingly rich!



Then I spotted... Victoria Andrews brazenly bathing in full sight of everyone.



At that point it was 2:30 AM and I was fatigued, Sunset Valley sure is full of wackjobs!

I dragged my tired body downstairs and spotted Vita and Nick Alto, still here.



So I initiated conversation with Vita, for at the sight of me, Nick fled.



She was bored by bait.



But she seemed right in her center when I steered the subject to gossip, she told me all about Claire something, how she's in the hospital recovering from a car crash. I asked if she was the heavily pregnant woman I had seen get hit by the... the Bunch's. Vita quickly confirmed it.

It's nice to know Claire survived her unfortunate encounter.

[Sherry]

Wait a minute, is Keira recognizing a wrong woman?
I think the one on the treadmill machine with Madison is Monika Morris...
Good observation for the rest of it though 

[RaiaDraconis]

Vita...conspiring with Nancy? Something must be afoot.

[chetanhaobijam]

Congrats to Keira on her longer work-out time. I also think the woman next to Madison is Monika Morris, not Victoria Andrews. Anyway, great work. And what is Vita doing with Nancy, maybe planning something. And good to hear Claire survive the crash.

Spying Strong, Part IV - Team Albus

A.  Ezagutza & Wiry:




Pah, Exercise! Just a good opportunity for the extraction if information wasted, if you ask me. Ezra put in an appearance at the gym and worked out intensely for 3 hours and 13 minutes, starting at 7 AM and ending at 10:13 AM.   I felt so filthy I didn't even bother with a shower and just rain home to magically clean myself. I'm a genie! I don't need to run, when I can banish my attackers away, and I don't need to beat someone up to forcible get information from them, I can just ensorcel them. Such a waste!

B.  Coline & Danielle Haydis:

Time start: 10:10 am
Time end: 1:27 pm
Total time: 3 hrs and 17 min
Method used: Don't break a sweat

'Work out until you are fatigued'. That seemed easy enough. I wasn't into exercise much, but I like jogging, so that's what I did.



It was also a great way of seeing what's happening around town. For example, I spotted VJ Alvi and Pauline Wan together outside the grocery store.



I was also able to gain one skill point in the Athletic skill.

I'm a little late to the "Don't End Ben!" party, but I was very happy to not only see another update today, but that there were a few while I was away from my forum-stalking computer. Seriously, every time I see an update, I exclaim "Ben Oliver!" either very loudly in my head or out loud somewhat softly so as to not annoy my neighbors. If you're not feeling it anymore at some point, I totally understand, but add me to the list of those who eagerly await each installment but don't always say so in the threads.

Thank you, smartburn!  It's always encouraging to hear from people who don't usually comment.  I appreciate your interest in the story.  Now that winter is here (where I live), I realize that I need Ben and his adventures to help me get through the months ahead, so he'll definitely be continuing.
