Get well soon, @Jessica Moon!

You've probably seen the pictures of the ultra-wind turbines we use in the Wind Belt. Super-grainy shots (through the dust) of those big corkscrew turbines, maybe the fat red sun in the background. Most the maintenance is done remotely, through repair drones, but did you know they still send humans up there sometimes? That was my dad's job. Turbine repair guy.

It's pretty nasty up there - the wind never stops blowing, and "calm" means only 200 mph. But they're big on safety, and the super-heavy transports are so heavy and so low to the ground that they don't get blown around. Plus, they're designed to aerodynamically hug the ground tighter when the wind gets higher.

They are so safe, in fact, he'd let me go on service calls with him. It's like being inside a vault on tank treads - the walls are so solid you hardly the wind tearing past. And through the windshield (that word!) you can vaguely make out a horizon and the silhouettes of the turbines through the sand-blasting dust.

Once you get to the turbine that needs fixing, a docking tube is extended and sealed and you can walk right inside. So you never end up going outside.

Unless you're the repair guy.

Naturally the drones can do most the outside stuff - it's just a matter of operating their extendo-arms and moving stuff around. But if you're old school, sometimes you just have to go out there and check something out yourself. That was my dad.

The hurricane suit is kind of ridiculous. Anything that's got to be guaranteed not to blow over at 350 mph (their top-rated speed) is going to be the heaviest, squattest thing you've ever seen that's still mobile.

He'd done it a hundred times. It wasn't a mechanical failure.

It was an F10 twister. And not only did it pick up my dad, but it somehow picked up the super-heavy transport too. We were up inside the cyclone. I strapped myself in and watched the world spin through the windshield. I even saw my dad go by in the hurricane suit. I could have sworn he was waving.

And that's how I ended up here. The super-heavy landed on a little maintenance shed near lower campus. I bumped my head a little on the trip - otherwise I'm fine.

But dad never turned up.

Hi I'm new here, and super excited to be enrolled at Psyhigh! Your campus is so beautiful! Do you know how lucky you are, being able to walk around outside?

I'm from the Wind Belt - where, as you know, there's now a constant average wind speed of 275 mph. "The Great Brown Spot" in those pictures from space. Once the windstorm started (before I was born) everything moved inside. Then we began digging and tunneling.

If you've seen the pictures or taken the holo-tours, it really is that gorgeous down there. Turbines on the surface power full-spectrum lighting everywhere - in our gardens, and in the malls. Lots of malls.

But being able to go outside is such a treat! Just walking between classes and looking up at the sky is such an amazing thing to be able to do.

So what I don't understand, though: why are there so many people named Morgan here? I mean, it's not that unique of a name, but this is weird.
