He had came out to clean up while Graysen was off doing whatever but at least he was also being joined by his brother.

"Well need to do our part Micah if we do not then it's not really like home now is it?" He knew she was still getting used to it but he thought that they would get there. Micah King

He was still trying to figure out how so many people had came here but seeing the two he knew he walked over. "Hey," he said. "Maybe we can pick an area and go from there?" He knew he did like it better when home was clean and you could not see as much destruction. Largo VasquezKyle Damini

It turned out that Ashford Radio was sending a team out to cover this event. They'd always had a local news service but an Ashford team got to send its reports out when the big news agencies didn't when the attack came. So Xanthe, her sound recordist and a photographer from the digital newspaper were here to cover this community event. A step in the nations recovery and even radio presenters did work like this. The first thing to do for any broadcaster was usually to speak to Avery and Ethan if they were there. Xanthe was dressed for the heat but also professionally in a skirt suit and sleeveless blouse idea. Spying Avery and Ethan together she introduced herself and her team. Avery AshfordEthan Ashford

“We should Grecko. At least we got time together after the carnival” Largo replied. At least they’d stayed safe and today was when they cleared up the mess. This also showed they weren’t going to stand for their home being wrecked by terrorists. “Things are good Kyle. Another teacher is dealing with the summer school today. We’ll get through everything as a family; a growing one” he added. Grecko was part of it now as well. So of course he made him welcome. Grecko Wess Kyle Damini

A person like Alice would certainly know what the secret service was supposed to look like. Eventually the Ashford’s might have something similar in place and Alice did wonder what effect US troops would have had if they’d joined in against the invaders. Coming here was still a risk for President Pace. Even with his guards as she was in a direct line of his movement. “I helped hunt the invaders down that day with OSE help” she replied when asked what had happened to her that day. “I’m a police officer and a mother. Can I count on your help to continue the fight against people who would want to kill the both of us?” Matthew Quence

The secret service was on high alart it was easy to see they where on the watch for anything
President pace had been prepared by his team before he left the island so the answer he gives her might sound like a prepared remarks that's because it was
"Thank you for your brave service you might have saved many people from all over the world "
When president pace had taken office he had been a young strong looking man now he was all gray and elderly looking four years has had its way with him
"My administration stays committed to finishing the fight with strife but in a different form we think other country's should take over the fight when Ashford island becomes a nation approved by the rest of the nation's of the world Ashford island will lead this new alliance we the united states will be your partners in other ways like helping your island set up its economy over see free elections to a free government system you see once your people has a free government the rest of the world will see you more part of this world thin strife will be finished not by wars but by the thing they hate being accepted do you understand ?"
There was a news story before he announced he was running for re election that he had promised his party leaders the reform party that he would only be president for one term thin would step aside when his party lost the midterms to the new gop the story goes that Mrs pace talked him into running for another term against the advice of his advisers
@alice
Ooc: I was going to do more with Mrs pace 4 years ago but with all the news with the real life first lady I have decided to just put hints on how big of an impact she's had maybe in the future I can have it all come out lol

Alice was a fighter not a politician. So it was safe to say she spoke plainly and got to the point. “Mr President there were others like me who put their lives on the line. It’s a battle that will continue whatever the cost to our people but while I understand what you said not every existing government has free elections. We as a nation are only figuring things out” she replied knowing his time would be short. “What will you do for the oddity community in the USA in that case? Can you at least help them keep fighting for all the rights normals take for granted? Like being able to fully express themselves and their abilities. It is my last question.” Her last question was aimed at the kept in the dark laws. A normal human was unlimited with what they could do. Why should her kind not be able to use their natural abilities? Matthew Quence

President pace was ready for the first part of what she says had a speech ready for it
"We know not every nation is free that's why the united states trys to guide those nations to freedom "
The question no one thought this would come up so the president goes off script
"When I took office the government was trying to do what you just asked about former president quence was wrong to force the kinda change your talking about in my first four years I have pushed for more freedom for oddities at the government level I kept the oddity high court in place so they could have the freedom to take there cases to someplace I backed the oddity Healthcare act so oddities could get good Healthcare through the American Healthcare plan (known as quencecare in the states) the job creation act of last year half of it was to help oddities into the job market the oddity voting rights act renewal of this year was signed so they could keep making there voices heard let's look at the facts my party and myself has done more for oddities thin any president up to this point "
Fact checking the president:
The oddity high court has been a mix bag criminals that should go to prison gets set free where small crimes get punished
The oddity Healthcare act was refused by speaker Trump when he took the speakership be leaving the act wouldn't help oddities at all
The job creation act was one big green new deal power play to try and get the clean air acts back on the books president pace had the part wrote in to try and sway votes in the house the new Republicans refused it
President pace renewed the oddity voters rights bill to try and help his vote count in the November election president pace as senator was against the quence Backed bill giving oddities the right to vote
In reality the pace administration has pushed back on progress with oddities since day one and the president has played a hand with Governors on writing the dark laws
OOC: aww went down on memory lane on this post so much old site history with this one

Alice listened to the well planned reply. She would take the answer at face value but you did need to read between the lines to figure out what a politician actually meant when they commented publicly.
"I do hope you get to enjoy at least some of the island while you're here. Life isn't all work. You're a busy man so keep safe" she replied as she let the president go and to meet other people. She certainly wouldn't have wanted the secret services job as she looked round at the continuing work.
(and the President is free to walk round again)
