([][Chapter [1]][Frequency Modulated Shifts][])

Quantz would often hear unusual auditory shifts of frequency modulated

messages within his enviropod. Auditory shifts that reminded him of the

last Strobile transmission sent from Earth, just before he was accepted

as a Navpilot student into the Academy of the Crusade.

The frequency modulated shifts he enjoyed listening to were often

reminiscent of bird sounds from an underwater digitized sound chamber.

Squeaks, beeps, and squelches, that reminded Quantz of mechanized

singing birds from Earth. Quantz had enjoyed listening to recordings of

mechanized bird songs, ever since he could remember, after finding a

'pigeon mecha recording', between the pages of an instructual music

compilation.

Pigeon mecha bird songs were now softly emitting from within the echoey

expanse of the enviropod. A quadraphonic sound system had been

installed during the summer, while Quantz was away at a multi-day,

strategy and tactics planning event.

The blurping sounds of pigeon mecha squandary surrounded Quantz, within

an auditory circular, whirling of joy.

Quantz had studied birds last year, as part of a nature course on avionic

flight. 'Flight and the Wonders of the Wing', was the title of the course.

A course made available from a number of summer quarter Academy

enrollment options Quantz had thoroughly researched, before making his

final selections of Navpilot compliant proficiency modules.

Flight was often on the leading edge trail of Quantz' soaring thoughts,

and was of great importance to the furtherance of his aspirations and

study advancements.

Quantz had also enjoyed another course selection, 'Building Models and

Making Drawings', a course with residual benefit for he and his podmates.

Quantz and the students within his living space had filled the enviropod

with many a construct and sketch completed during 'autonomy' and

'team effort' segmentated activity.

Quantz was looking at a sketch of scribbled musical notations floating

around a group of avians in flight, drafted by the Academy's music

instructor, Auditorios. The pigeon mecha blurpings that continued to

echo throughout the enviropod seemed to reciprocate the inflected awe

of the melody Auditorios had drafted. Quantz padded over to the

enviropod's componentry soundsystem extensor computer, a shared

Navpilot Reader, and digitarily applied setting enhancements to the pigeon

mecha song striating throughout the chamber, adding 'whalesong

communique', and 'underwater vorticity'.

The word avian was a word that was part of a group of vocabulary

definitions Quantz had saved within his zygotic RIMBABOS unit. His very

own Navpilot Reader, which was in and of itself separate from all other

Navpilot Reader's, and had style reflected Quantz' traits since birth.

He quickly index search located the word avian, browsed through some

terminology refreshments, added some pigeon mecha word path

traversials, and returned the word to its terminology storage

capacitance unit.

Quantz had learned how to expand the terminology storage capacitance

unit for traversial path affiliation, at the prompting of Quergox, an

instructional language facilitant at the Academy of the Crusade. Quergox

had observed Quantz scribbling out pathway connectors on transpositions

and drawings, and recommended to Quantz an area of previously unexplored

Navpilot Reader capability. The capability of the terminology storage

capacitance unit. This unit was quickly moving into his top rated activity

of preference. Quergox had shown Quantz how to link saved word

definitions, with other files stored within his Navpilot Reader.

Quantz returned the enviropod shared Navpilot Reader to its suspensor

platform and retrieved an orange encased Navpilot Reader from an

adjoining platform. He voice activated the awakening of his Navpilot

Reader by speaking 'Quaique' adjacent to its northern display side.

He completed the digitary identification process and continued an avionic

project he had saved the prior afternoon, before retiring to his sleeping

chamber for the evening. He was now flipping through saved images of

Earthen birds he had remote transferred from Quango's nature processing

unit. After applying focus settings to some mecha constructs of pigeon

familial Columbidae, he returned his Navpilot reader to its suspensor

platform, and bumbled down a connecting enviropod conduit to the

sustenance chamber.

Upon entering, Quantz politely nodded the appreciated 'Equilocus Namaste'

greeting of equinimity to his podmates seated comfortably at the dining

area table, selected an available ergochair, and began listening to one of

the Navpilot students seated directly in front of him talk about

chronometric time reading calculants.

The name of the student speaking was Quantis.

Quantz casually focused his visual acuity and acquired a reading from the

dining area's illuminated chronometric display. The calculant display of

Quango time was '6:44'. He also casually made acquisition of a towered

stack of apricot doughcakes, lifting them off the center console rotary

and setting them into the upper northwest corner of his main dining dish.

"In the door at 6:44," he noted to his podmates, while adding boater drip

dripping, syrupy enhancement to his doughcakes.

"That's Quango Standard Time, six forty four ante meridiem," his podmate

Quantis responded, noticing Quantz' drifted gaze at the chronometric

display.

Quantz smiled. "At the table, Navpiloted ready and able," he said.

Quantis return volleyed Quantz' friendly Navpilot mottoed pattern of

rhyme beforing returning to an emulatory vocal pattern equivalent of an

Academy of the Crusade science instructor.

"Like a gradient dobradian," he replied. "like the fulcrum efficiency rating

of Quidian, getting congruent minutae tangentia with an Earthen ante

meridiem," he replied, "as in 'ante meridiem', a twelve hour cycle

timekeeping comparative to say, 'post meridiem', or 'PM fulcrum action

compliant'."

"Totally radiix, Quantz, totally radiix," one of the female Navpilot students

seated at the table added, with a flair of carefree delivery.

"Post meridiem...," Quantz return volley volleyed, with the frogge'd frialto

of a Quanzi elder, "which is a twelve hour chronometric time cycle, most

often affiliated with the Quangoschic hours of the afternoon, until midnight

one two."

"Why yes, 'Navpilot Quantz'," Quantis responded, "you are not mistaken."

This statement responsive was rendered vocally in the realm of not quite

there'dness, fleckered with the freeform fancy funniness, also of a

frogge'd frialto. One could almost see the bubbling dewlap expanding with

air, as Quantz and Quantis ribbette'd their conversational exchange.

The two other students who were eating and observing the conversation,

Quantum and Quartis, began blinking in an ovular pattern indicative of a

conversational non follow, as if to say without speaking, "whatever...what

is your intended topic of conversation endeavor."

Or in podcom speak, "does not compute."

Quantis was an advanced level programming student, nearing the

completion of her third year of studies at the Academy of the Crusade,

where both students were currently attending. She then proceeded to

graft Quantz's frogge'd frialto with a slight titch of refracted referendum

to Academy verbalities of endorsement.

"The Academy of the Crusade was founded by Quanzi's ancestors, or 'the

Quillzi'," this with a raised paw imprint air, "and was a training facility

created for the Academy's Intermediate Level of educated enrollment.

Students interested in exploring the realms of the unleashing of their

educated possibility, have selected the appropriate location to

continue their prowess of learning processi."

"As if there was any other place," the podmate 'paw left' had interjected.

'Paw left' was an enviropod directional indicator indicative of seating

position, as a spatial relativism exampling of Navpilot emplacement. 'Paw

left' was also a directional comparative to 'paw right', 'filelift chair', and

'paw center'.

Quantis flutter blinked a telemetered tertiary acknowledgement of

directional indicator understanding and continued with the throated

belching of apricot doughcaked breathing.

"Educated possibility and learning processi, with the addition of student

creative probability, and innovation, into the forwarding progress,

of Quango; the Quanzi; and the Academy of Crusade; so that students

following in the most esteemed pawprints of their predecessors, might

evolve into the civility, and good-natured community sensoried awareness,

that the Academy of the Crusade is known for, throughout Quango

airspace, and throughout the known Unispherse."

The Academy of the Crusade was opened during Quango's Great Unveiling,

which was a moment in Quango's historical timeline that had evolved from

what had been perceived by Quanzi elders, as a most tragic event in

Quanzical history.

An event known to Quangoans as, 'the Zero Quantile'.

The Zero Quantile was an event that had occurred, as accorded to

Earthen information the Quanzi were working through a decryption of

protocol of, or 'decrypti de protoculus', of massive amounts of data and

decisioning processi.

Quergox remote hailed his entry into the dining area with a strobular

pattern of purpled illumination. He then proceeded to enter a continuation

of addendum to a previous discussionary notation event of the Zero

Quantile, as a 'Quantile conversation notationary discussion', which the

podmates had completed as students, during a meeting to discuss

Quanzical naming convention application, and its affiliation with

enviropode'd inanimate objecting. Often the Quantile conversation

notationary discussions were paw rendered, with Navpilot Reader and

stylus. After the Zero Quantile had occurred as a significant historical

event in Quangoan history, chronometric time readings were not always

accurate.

Thus, the Quanzi had learned to record chronometric time readings, with

the ancillary accord of a secondary chronometric notation, by paw. Often

times these recordings would appear as scribbles to an up-and-comer

wanting to decipher a perceived coded entry, of an individual's personal

proprietary entries. Quergox had humoredly addressed the group with a

prompting to further the Quangoan study of the 'Quay', with humility's

guiding hand.
