From TC5A via the following Prologue from Schoolfrenz.

On a day in June 2004, the members of the original Mag7 were happy with their lives.

In the Bricklayers Arms Dumbo had latched onto a new patron, who had not yet been bored by his host's exaggerated achievements in life. Not that Dumbo would have recognized or been offended by their ennui; over the years he had become insensitive to the ridicule from his fellow drinkers. The landlord looked on and grimaced at the sight. After all this time, he still hadn't decided whether the income from his frequent fat customer had compensated for the loss of future business from first-time visitors who had to suffer Dumbo's droning.

Inside the international departure lounge at Heathrow airport, Legs was trying to contain the excitement of his family about their imminent flight to Canada. He worked hard at his job in the council planning office, and had not taken a major holiday for three years. Unusually years. Unusually, the council had let him bank his untaken holidays to save for this coming extended family break. A month with his wife's parents in Montreal, and then another two touring the Great Lakes was the perfect tonic he needed to refresh his attitude to work and family.

Smokey had arrived home from work at a reasonable time and with a comfortable feeling. Today he had received qualified enquiries demanding his architectural skills, and his biggest contract with the BudgetMart supermarket chain was beginning to generate a regular income. Predictably, his dogs, and less predictably his wife, had greeted him with enthusiasm. Having pre-announced his early arrival, she had even taken the trouble to cook him a meal rather than leave out a microwavable instant meal to thaw on the kitchen draining board to greet his erratic homecoming. She had also chatted amiably about nothing in particular. Ever the optimist, Smokey had felt at ease. He hoped he had reached the turning point in a marriage that had been floundering over the last few months.

Egghead was walking on Bondi beach in Australia. The weather was bitterly cold and he was starved of beach companions and rescue attempts. Instead, as he scanned the shoreline, he thought of his pending career change. He had been a lifeguard for ten years and in a couple of months would return to his original vocation as a history teacher. He would miss the sun, sea and sand, but with the approaching responsibility of fatherhood, a risk-free occupation and almost a doubling of his pay would be adequate compensation.

Goose had excitedly told his partner Anthony about the house clearance he had carried out earlier. He was convinced he had found a painting by William Havell and some fine pieces of Majolica porcelain, that when auctioned, would bring necessary cash to their struggling antiques struggling antiques business. They had celebrated by getting drunk on gin and tonic and going to bed early.

The Bridge had scored par for the first time during his afternoon nine holes of golf at his local course, and was feeling pleased with himself. He was entertaining his cronies in the clubhouse with a mixture of stories regarding his putting expertise and the exploits of the inmates from his nightshift at Durham prison.

For what he hoped was the last time, Fang was the victim of a male rape at the Berrima Correctional Centre approximately 75 miles southwest of Sydney. He had a rare smile on his face; in two days' time, he would be released after five years of patience and persecution. He had a nest egg waiting for him and a dream of using it to fund a virtuous future.

Georgina was happy too. She had stepped out from the Llandinam Building Hall into the bright sunshine. Friends gathered round, swapping opinions about the ease or difficulty of the three-hour exam they had just finished. She sided with those in the easy camp. She had worked and played hard over the last three years and was confident that soon she would be designated a Bachelor of Science, now her last exam was over. It crossed her mind briefly that, in this politically correct age, maybe she should be a Spinster of Science, but she had to admit it didn't have the same ring to it. Georgina Haywell BSc. Her parents would be very proud. 

They were happy and then ...
