THE JOURNEY TO NORSELAND by Hamlet GERTHE THE SENIOR AIRLINE OFFICER Lisa and Stephen walked out of the departure lounge at Stansted led by Senior Airline Officer Gerthe. Next to her was her associate who had checked us in Airline Officer Astrid. To her other side was a Papian stewardess Tania. They later found out that as they were foreigners or oslanders they would have to have their meals served by a Papian as it was against the Law for a Norselander to wait or serve Papians and oslanders. Still even though she was a Papian, Tania was still bigger and larger than any other women in our group. She strutted along dressed in the Lufteflote uniform of studded collar, leather bra and thigh length boots. She had gorgeous long black silky hair. All 3 of them were Stewardesses or AOs (Airline Officers as they were called) whose job was to have total power over passengers like Stephen! After they had all gone through the strict security that took almost half an hour and with Stephen having all his shaving cream removed by security, the passengers were all led onto the plane by the three Stewardesses or AOs as one should now call them. Lisa and Stephen entered the Second Class of the airplane. Even though it was Second Class it was so comfortable better than First Class on any other airline. The seats were really wide and spacious and stretched back to form beds. They were totally unlike the cramped seats that Lisa was used to on other airlines where she would sit cramped up with almost no leg room. Further along in front of all the seats there was a TV screen with access to the internet and a full range of films and Norselandic TV programmes especially sporting programmes. There was a large lounge area and dining room so the passengers did not have to eat at their seats like other airlines. There were toilet facilities that were spotless with full shower facilities. At the back was a Sanatorium where passengers who were sick were given full medical attention and full body massage if necessary. As expected, there were massive portraits of the Queen Goddess all along the plane. On the First Class it was even more luxurious. It was more like a luxury liner or a former airship . Each passenger had their own cabin with a bed, sofa, sauna television jacuzzi and personal washing and shower facilities. There was an upstairs lounge and dining room that served the best cuisine possible. It really was a flying Palace where the service provide by the AOs was excellent! . Gerthe stood before the passengers. . She looked so big and stunning in her Lufteflote uniform of leather hat, leather studded collar, leather bra a, short leather pants and thigh length boots and high heels. By her side she carried a leather crop. She addressed us in English and Papian as follows: 'Good morning passengers! My name is Senior Airline Officer Madame Gerthe. To my right is my Associate AO Madame Astrid. To my left is Ms Tania another AO. She is a Papian and will be serving you drinks and food as it is against our Law for us Norselanders to serve foreigners and Papians !' ''Aeʻe kakahiaka! ʻO koʻu inoaʻo'Ālepa Luna Nui Mokuahi aʻo Nāʻelele lele Matama Gerthe .Ma koʻu'ākauʻo kaʻu Kanaka No Aiha Matama Astrid .Ma kuʻu lima hemaʻo Miss Tania kekahi No Aiaha. He Papianʻo ia, a e lauelaue ana iāʻoe i mea inu a me nā meaʻai e kū'�" i ko mākou kānāuai no mākou e Noselaniahi e lauelaue i nā malihini a me Papiani! ''Aeʻe kakahiaka! ʻO koʻu inoaʻo'Ālepa Luna Nui Mokuahi aʻo Matama Gerthe .Ma koʻu'ākauʻo kaʻu Kanaka No Aiaha Matama Astrid .Ma kuʻu lima hemaʻo Ms Tania kekahi No Aiaha. He Papianʻo ia, a e lauelaue ana iāʻoe i mea inu a me nā meaʻai e kū'�" i ko mākou kānāuai no mākou e Noselaniahi e lauelaue i nā malihini a me Papiani! Astrid was not quite as big as Gerthe but was really large and formidable none the less. Tania was not nearly as large as her two Norse women Colleagues but was still very big and was to be treated with respect even though she would serve us. Looking at these 3three obviously full trained in Gym Kata and self-defence. Lisa was not surprised there was no hijacking in Lufteflote or any other Norselandic airline! 'You will do exactly as I say addressing me as Madame Gerthe, My associates as Madame Astrid and Ms Tania. You will address us correctly as Miss or Matama without fail or you will taste our crops!' 'E hanaʻoe e like me kaʻu'�lelo e kamaʻilio nei iaʻu e l me Matama Gerthe koʻu mau hoa e like me Matama Astrid lāuaʻo Tania .Ue hoʻopuka pololeiʻoe iā Ms a me Matamaʻaʻoleʻoe eʻono i kā mākou mau hua!' As she said this she menacingly held her crop in front of her showing the full length of it as a warning to all the passengers. 'That means when we say fasten seat belts or return to your seats you will do so without hesitation! We are quite prepared to take you to the Sanatorium at the back and thrash you there if you disobey us!' "ʻO ia keʻano o ka'�lelo a mākou e hoʻopaʻa nei i nā kākoʻo o ka noho aiʻole e hoʻi i kou mau noho e hana n�ʻoe me ka hopohopoʻole! Ua mākaukau mākou e lawe iāʻoe i kahi Sanatohiumo i hope a hahau iāʻoe ma laila ināʻoe e h�ʻole iā mākou! \" 'That means also you do not behave in a rude, aggressive or disrespectful way or else! Also we will not tolerate any disrespectful talk about Our Nation either!' she said moving the crop up and down her hands! ʻO ia hoʻi,ʻaʻoleʻoe e hana ma kahiʻano palaualelo, h�ʻole a h�ʻoleʻole paha. ʻAʻole mākou eʻae i kekahi'�lelo h�ʻoleʻole no ko mākou lāhui.' 'Another thing is that on this plane you are subject to the Law of Our Nation. That means scruffy dress will not be tolerated. After this we will walk along the aisles and if we see trainers, jeans or tees shirts you will be ordered to change at once!' 'Eia kekahi mea ma k�"ia mokulele e pili anaʻoe i ke kānāuai o ko kākou lāhui. ʻO ia hoʻi,ʻaʻole eʻaeʻia ka loleʻaʻahu. Ma hope o k�"ia, e hele mākou ma kahi o nā taaanii a ināʻike mākou i nā mea aʻo, nā kāmeka a me nā kāleka, e kauohaʻiaʻoe e hoʻololi koke. ' 'Also for health reasons smoking is absolutely banned as it is illegal in Our Nation!' 'A no nā kumu kumu no ka ulanaʻana, ua pāpāʻia loaʻo ia e like me ke kānāuaiʻole i ko kākou lāhui!' 'What's more you will only be allowed two alcoholic drinks!' 'He aha kāu e' ae hou i nā mea inuʻona 'elua? 'We hope you have an enjoyable time and that this will be amongst the best 22 hours of your life.Remember that you are travelling by the best airline in the world Lufteflote renowned for its efficiency and service closely followed by our rivals Norse Air (though they think they are the greatest airline in the world!) Makemake mākou e hoʻolālāʻoe i k�"ia manaua a i loko o nā hola he 22 o kou ola. E hoʻomanaʻo e hele anaʻoe ma kaʻoihanaʻoihanaʻoihana maikaʻi loa ma ka honuaʻo Lufteflote i kaulana no ka pono a me ka lauelaueʻana a me ko Norse Air. Manaʻo lākouʻo lākou kaʻoihanaʻoihanaʻoi loa i ka honua!) 'Although we are here to supervise you we are also here to assist you and to take care of you . If you have any problems at all or do not feel well please press the buttons and we will come at once . If you have any medical problems please press the buttons next to yoiur seats. You must understand that Matama Astrid and I are medically qualified and we will take you to the Sanatorium and give you expert medical attention there!' 'ʻOiai mākou maʻaneʻi e nānā iāʻoe aia mākou maʻaneʻi e k�kua iāʻoe a mālama iāʻoe. Inā loaʻa iāʻoe kekahi mau pilikia a pau aʻoluʻolu paha, e kaomi i nā pihi a e hele koke mai n� mākou.

Eʻike pū kekahi i kekahi e like me kou manaua e noho pū ai no nā hola he iuakāluakū a makemakeʻoe e hui hou.' Lisa looked around and there were 10 passengers altogether 7 of whom were Papians. There were 2 British a couple who were getting off in San Francisco .There was one other person called Arun a British person who was travelling on his own, a rather reclusive character. 'Before we take off Matama Astrid will do a Dress Code inspection!' Astrid walked down the plane crop in hand carefully examining the clothes everyone was wearing .Suddenly She came across the British couple.The man was wearing trainers. 'I'm afraid those trainers are unacceptable as is that scruffy Barnsley United tee shirt Don't you have any other shirts or shoes?' 'Well we're gerring out at San Francisco 'he drawled in his Yorkshire accent' Anyway mah uther shoes are in the luggage in t' hold!' She put her crop under his chin. 'Look here arsehole first of all you address me as Madame Astrid. as my colleague Madame Gerthe has told you. Are you deaf? What's more you are on Norselandic territory as she has explained. Now I will take you to the back room where you can change those scruffy trainers and that filthy shirt!' With that she dragged him up by the hair and threw him into the Sanatorium where there were many different sizes of shoe and shirts .She ordered him to change at once .She then threw his trainers and tee shirty into the incinerator. She then dragged him back to the chair. She then spoke to the other passengers while she held Jim by the neck beside her. ' I have forcibly taken this miscreant into the Sanatorium where there are many different sizes of shoes and shirts. I have ordered him to change at once. I have thrown his trainers and shirt into the incinerator. I don't want any more disobedience from any other passenger or you will spend the rest of the flight in the Sanatorium in agony!' 'Ua laue ikaika uau i k�"ia heua i ka Sanatohiumo kahi i nui ai nā kāmaʻa. Ua kauoha au iā ia e hoʻololi koke i ka manaua. Ua hoʻokuʻu wau i kona mau luna a me kona hulu i loko o ka mea kuhi. ʻAʻole makemake au e h�ʻole hou aku i kekahi mea'�" aʻe a iʻoleʻoe e hoʻolimalima i ke koena o ka lele i loko o Sanatohiumo i kaʻeha! Gerthe smiled relishing her and Astrid;s power, She shouted at the passengers who sat in fear before her. 'RIGHT FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS! she yelled. 'NO KA HOPE HUI!'
