That family in particular would have banked everything on mom. I know families (plural) where mom will wake everyone up when it is their turn for the bathroom. And families share cell providers, so a major vendor shitting the bed would most likely take out all of them. That happens more than it should. Same with power and no charge. It seems like everyone's phone is on empty by the end of the evening. This is at least as probable as nobody's alarm clock having a battery backup. They all had them in the 90s, unless you were using a mechanical alarm clock, whick would have worked. At any rate, the alarm clock fail was just one of many problems here. This is a family who managed to not notice one of their kids miss an international flight.

Mom forgot she turned her notifications to silent to watch a movie the night before. Mom got no sleep and hit snooze. Mom forgot to charge her phone and it died. Dad tripped over the charging cable and knocked it out. Power went out and the phone didn't charge so it died. Heck, you could even have a carrier fuck up maintenance and knock out cell service across the country for their customers.

Or Kevin is eight years old and his parents reasonably assume he is too young to have a cell phone.

You can see the text on the front of them for what they are for. Blue are regular passports for casual travel. Red are diplomatic passports for high ranking officials. Green are special passports for senators, MPs or government workers on official business. White temporary passports are usually issued abroad where a Canadian citizen has an urgent requirement to travel but doesn't have a passport for whatever reason.

That works. I would have also considered "Oh no, not all at once!" when he's harvesting from the Ceti eel.

Wikipedia says she has dark-coloured skin due to a tan, and she goes by Hayacchi, so it's probably the colour they are referring to.

That's how it went down with the Bundy standoff.

I did three days once and was still lucid. Wasn't even really tired, so I even went clubbing until 5am on the last night. I could have stayed up longer, but I had no reason to be up anymore, so I got four or five hours of sleep and was back on schedule. Some people just can't do that kind of thing, and it seems to be easier for others. Dude from China sounds like a machine though. I'd guess be was the right combination of the kind of person who doesn't require a lot of sleep and stubborn as hell.

Passengers fly on the inside, of course. There are two exits, one at the front and one at the rear. If you need assistance with boarding, one of our supposistewards will be happy to assist you. Thank you for choosing Qantass Airlines!
