Town Meeting

John awoke at his usual early hour on the morning of the town meeting. He dressed with slightly more than usual care in his suit of clothes from home, broke his fast with a light meal, and headed to the Golden Horseshoe to ensure that things were the way he wanted.

The chairs and small tables were already perfectly arranged, but John dragged a podium he found backstage out to the front of the curtain. Then he bustled about in the kitchen area setting out drinks and whatever small snacks he could find back there.

Before long, interested citizens began filing in and he went up to the podium. There was no microphone because he'd never heard of such a thing, but John Adams never had difficulty making himself heard.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome. If you would please pick up any refreshments you'd care for and take your seats, we'll begin in just a few minutes."

"Nice to meet you." John waved up once, trying to make it look like he wasn't staring. Which he was, of course. He'd seen the drone at a distance once or twice, but he'd never been this close. If he'd been back with everyone on Moya he wouldn't have been phased, but he seemed to have regressed on his no-gaping skills.

"And what do you gentlemen make of this?" it inquired.
