Preparation for the Attack of the Druids
The bullet presses are kept in the area in the back of the revolver and pistol shops. Bullet presses are adjustable so that diffirent kinds of bullet calibers may be produced. there are several revolver and pistol shops in each of the large cities and usually one shop in each of the villages. Many of the farmers have their own bullet presses on the farm.
There are also several pistol ranges in each of the cities. They are made of thick brick walls and inside there are individual booths. On the opposite side of the booth is the area where the targets hang. You put the target on a pin and then you pull the rope on the pulleys out to the distance where you want the target to be. The pistol ranges are for praticing your shooting abilities. After one has finished their shooting you collect the spent brass and take it with you. The brass goes back to the revolver and pistol shop when you are ready to have more bullets made. The farmers practice out doors on their property.
After King Ahmed checks on his men at the pistol shop it is time for him to leave. Ahmed and the men he has with him ride out to the training camp where some of his men are. King Ahmed has called for a meeting. The men hitch up the horses. The men go into the hall for the meeting. Ahmed explains about the Druids. He tells the men he has been monitoring them on the planet of Argos. Ahmed does not want to panic any of the people and he tells them he will call another meeting at a later time. The information is classified.
Meanwhile back to Ishtar. Ishtar realizes that she needs some clothes. She does not know what to do. King Ahmed had told her she could call him on Cassem's cell phone but only if it was really necessary. It is now four o'clock in the afternoon. Ishtar decides to go outside of the Palace and look around. Outside there is a garden in the back of the Palace. Ishtar walks back there. There is a brick path that leads to a pool. You can sit on the ledge that goes around the pool. There are magnificent Lily Pads growing in the water and there are also fluffy black and white fish swimming about.
Cassem appears. Ishtar never heard him approaching. He asks her if there is anything she needs. Ishtar explains to him that she needs clothing and she does not know what to do about it. Cassem tells her he will contact King Ahmed and get back to her. With that he goes back inside.
Cassen contacts King Ahmed. He was suppose to check in with him anyway. Cassem explains that Ishtar needs some clothing. King Ahmed explains he will take care of this and tells Cassem to send Amman with the wagon to town.
Ishtar decides to take a shower and refresh and then she thinks she should go to the cooking room and see the operation of things. Ishtar does not know when King Ahmed will return.
