Abby knew next to nothing about playing an instrument let alone how to lead a band. She hadn’t been lying when she mentioned that instruments were rare on the Ark. As far as she knew there were at most a dozen. If there were more it was a closely guarded secret by whoever had them. Of the dozen that she was aware of, eleven had been passed down from one generation to the next. Some remained within a family others being passed to someone new via a lottery. As was the case with most personal possession. Though the council was known to make exceptions here or there with the promise that it would remain confidential and not public knowledge.
The only instrument on display for the general public was the baby grand piano that had managed to survive their descent to the ground. But bandleader was the position that had been assigned to her. And despite her lack of knowledge about anything music related she did have leadership experience. While being Head of Medical and Chancellor were entirely different fields she could adapt the skills she’d learned to suit her new position. For however long it last.
So, for two days, Abby, had spent as much time as possible rereading the book that had been left for her. While it was informative it did nothing to truly prepare her for what she needed to do. The lack of a list identifying who was supposed to be in her band only made it harder. Not to mention that it made her special task that much harder. Though the lack of a list of names was undoubtedly intentional so that she’d have to work to complete her goal. Then an idea struck on day 3. By calling a meeting she could learn their names, meet them face to face and perhaps complete her goal.
With her mind made up, Abby, had posted on the network and requested the presence of her band members at a meeting. She quickly received a few responses and after a little discussion two agreed to attend. Which is why she now stood waiting for them to arrive. Abby hoped that others would simply turn up but if that turned out to not be the case, at least, two was better than none.
