Rosa, Smith, Marco and her colleagues are seen enjoying some coffee
Rosa: "1970's coming to the end. What an amazing year I can say. Launching Italics FM, having expanded Italics to the major part of Italy."
Marco: "Splendid year for us! And after that we'll remain stable. That's my strategy."
Averia: "Our business was well-deserved. Now we're simply harvesting seeds of success!"
Rosa: "By the way, here's something you may want to hear. I'm opening a rabbit farm soon!"
everyone's surprised
Laura: "A rabbit farm!? I love rabbits!"
Rosa: "It has been in the process of constructing over some past months, and I've kept it as a secret. Now it's close to the finish, so I unveiled the secret."
Averia: "A secret makes a woman woman. Now I understand."
Rosa: "Do you guys fancy taking a look at it?"
Marco: "Lo sono sicuramente."
Laura: "Either am I!"
Averia: "If everybody goes, why not me?"
Smith: "Me too!"
Rosa: "Alright."

17:00
the vehicles arrive at the farm
Rosa: "Here it is! It's very close to the finish, I just need to have the billboard installed, receive the rabbits, hire more staff members, and it's officially available to the public. I'll guide you around the farm."
Marco, Smith and the Montagnas enter the farm under the guidance of Rosa, while she's introducing the areas
Rosa: "As you can see, we're standing on the main path of the farm. Look at this big map and I'll explain."
Rosa points to a general mapboard nearby
Rosa: "So here is where we are, after we went pass the entrance gate. To the left, we have the parking lot, which is obviously where we parked our cars and bikes. Opposite the lot is a grassfield for rabbits, 20 meters long and wide. In other words, it's a pretty huge square piece of land."
Laura: "Can't wait to see rabbits jumping around, eating carrots and letting me touch their fur! I love rabbits!"
Rosa: "Soon you will."
she then leads them to a relaxing zone
Rosa: "Here's the area of relaxation. There are hammocks, tables, sunbeds and umbrellas here. You can buy some light food and drink from the canteen. Next to this zone is our office, where the staff will work."
Rosa shows them the office
Smith: "Looks comfortable."
Rosa: "This table is for paper works, and there are facilities, of course. Behind the office is a storage and water tanks where we'll preserve fresh water and carrots for the bunnies. Temporarily they're empty for now, but soon the storage will be filled with carton boxes, and the tanks will contain water."
Laura: "Why are there 5 pipelines on each tank, with 3 of them painted green and 2 of them red?"
Rosa: "The green pipelines which are connected with underground branched directions are linked to 8 water hydrants which can be activated to give the rabbits a nice shower at any spot they're standing. The red pipelines are used to fulfill the water troughs, which are the wooden trapezoid pieces around the grassfield. Rabbits will drink the water contained in these pieces, and they can also eat carrots in the bowls next to the troughs."
Marco: "Ambitious ideas! I'd love to see how the farm functions once the public can pay a visit to it!"
Rosa: "That day is coming very fast. We'll open our farm in a week. Or more exactly, on the first day of the next year."
Marco: "Splendido! I'd love to attend the opening ceremony!"
Smith: "Me too!"
17:10
Romar and Blaise stop by in their Figaro Zagato
Romar: "This is Rosa's farm, right?"
Blaise: "Yes. Oh, I see some people, come in."
both walk into the farm
Rosa: "My mates!"
Romar: "Allow us to introduce ourselves to your colleagues, Rosa. Romar Espadium, Carabinieri Officer."
Blaise: "Blaise Escargia, Carabinieri Officer, colleague of Romar."
Marco: "Welcome officers. The name's Marco Belle, current Chairman & Editor-in-Chief of Italics."
Averia: "Averia Montagna, Writer of Italics. This is my little sister, Laura."
Romar: "Nice to hear. I'm glad Italics shared informative news about what the Carabinieri team has been doing recently. Crime rates are rising and therefore, the media will take an important part in informing the readers about the risks from criminals."
Marco: "I miei più sinceri ringraziamenti. By the way, what brought you upon here?"
Blaise: "Just not so long ago, some acquaintances who work in a local café told us that they overheard something about your farm, so we found the place by ourselves. Thank god we figured out the road to this farm."
Rosa: "They must be the tomato girl and her friends."
Romar: "That description sounds funny, but yes they are. We came here because we're interested in taking care of the farm, after our shift ends. We work in shifts actually, usually in the morning."
Blaise: "And if our morning shift ends, we can either extend to the afternoon or rest. But we can only extend the time at most 2 weekdays, so we wanted to do something more."
Smith: "Hey Rosa, how about both of us after having ended our newswork at noon, we could pay a visit to the farm? If our work time is lengthened, we can have a break before 18."
Rosa: "Sounds good! And both of you, Averia and Laura?"
Averia: "I'm afraid we can't, sorry... But we'll try."
Rosa: "Nessun problema. Alright that's nice, thanks everybody a lot!"
Marco: "Now the only thing we have to wait for is the opening ceremony! I'll invite as many Italics members as I can!"
