Literally Seven Heroes 7.4: Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, And Goodnight!Caesar: Greetings citizens. Clement and I are here to reassure you that life will go on but maybe not as we have known it. No doubt you have heard of the Nuclear Explosions in District 13, Clement?
Clement: Yes
Caesar: Much of that district and the neighbouring Districts 12 and 5, previously known as Oasis Springs and Evergreen Harbour have been lost to the aftermath cutting our power sources back to the bare minimum, Clement.
Clement: Yes
Caesar: Any-hoo! Let me just read the official report.
We know that approximately 5 minutes after the Heroes House update, the nuclear power plant of District 13 melted down, devastating the entire region. The army core of engineers cites that a simultaneous flush of every toilet in the city caused a massive drop in water pressure, thus causing the plant to lose coolant and melt down. This isn’t your ordinary meltdown. That plant was experimental! The fallout is causing strange and odd problems in the region and we have very little detail about what is going on in there.*
Rumours that link this to a government experiment with alien spores have been flatly denied, Clement?
Clement: Wibble.
Caesar: Cut! Cut! Look I’m trying to be professional here. I’ve had to do my own makeup in bad lighting and with no hairdryer and I have to work with this Wibble-Monkey?
Agatha: OK OK. Can you do it without backup?
Caesar: Gladly!
Agatha: Roll it.
Caesar: Coming the very day after our last round-up from the Heroes House, the live feed was cut, leading to various conspiracy theories. Where are our Heroes just when we need them? Their involvement in the disaster and their current location are part of an on-going investigation. We have samples of their DNA, taken as part of their entry into the House so we will find them. We hope to bring you an update in due course. This is Caesar Flickerman, signing off. Stay Safe out there folks.
Katniss: I phoned it in! I told them to call off the strike!
Benita: You did. I heard you. We’d defeated the Mother. That was amazing by the way!
Katniss: I couldn’t have done it without you guys.
Darwi: Elizabeth and I were glad to be part of the team. All the other projects we’ve done – they’ve all been solo.
Katniss: I still don’t know why they launched the missiles. The damage is so….apocalyptic!
Elizabeth: Can I just mention that it was my idea to celebrate in Capitol?
Esme: I’m not a fan of the city but thank goodness we were well away by the time District 13 was flattened.
Elizabeth: My idea! Just saying!
Lessa: Where’s Mara, by the way?
Esme: She’s finding us a place to stay. Oh – that’s her now. What? OK we’re on our way!
Darwi: Where is she?
Esme: Fountainview Penthouse
Katniss: Wow, Mara, how did you find this?
Mara: It pays to have contacts in Snow’s government. Plus the evidence of what’s been going on. It’s amazing how “grateful” people can be!
Esme: I don’t want no charity.
Mara: It’s not charity, Esme. It’s recompense for all we’ve lost. We can go where we like and do what we like. I love this place and it’s handy for the new government role that I’ve been asked to take on.
Katniss: In a damaged Simverse!
Mara: Yes – there’s no getting away from that!
Esme: I just want to get away. Away from Capitol and away from all these people. If I can go anywhere, I’ll have Cordelia’s Secret Cottage, Bramblewood, District 11
Darwi: I’m thinking you want to be alone. What about you, Katniss? You’ve always liked being by yourself.
Katniss: Yes, but if I’m too much on my own, I go into a bit of a black dog phase.
Darwi: I want to go back to District 4, regenerate the conservation project, be a Sea Child again. You could join me?
Katniss: Living off-grid, off the land? Sounds wonderful.
Darwi: Anyone else?
Benita: Would my Sixamite friends be welcome there?
Darwi: Of course. We’d love their advice on conservation. Back to the Admiral’s Wreckage.
Lessa: I want to help the strays in District 10.
Elizabeth: I’ve been offered a post at the university in District 3. They’re throwing money at projects developing New Technologies, including Genetic Engineering.
Lessa: You know, I’ve never given up my dream of genetically-engineering dragons. Do you think it’s possible?
Elizabeth: Come with me and find out.
Lessa: OK but, can we get a puppy?
Elizabeth: Of course, until you get a dragon, that is. Here – Mossy Lane is vacant. We’ll take that.

And so ends my
Seven Heroes Challenge – 33 projects by 7 heroes in 281 daysThank you for reading and letting me indulge my love of (mostly teen sci-fi) literary heroines. I love many female characters in a variety of book styles but many of them are not particularly heroic. I hope you’ve enjoyed the ones I’ve chosen.
It think it’s fairly obvious that I’m lining up an Apocalypse Challenge - probably using the updated rules from
https://florrieschallenge.weebly.com/ - but that requires a Wonder Child. Would a clone of any of my heroes make a good Wonder Child parent? I wonder… and what would their ideal co-parent be like… watch this space!
