to amplify on her boats, I mean her thoughts concerning

RW to the good Dr. "Actually, Dr
boatingirl, I found the presentation most stimulating,
from a scientific perspective of course. As we all did I
am sure!
Professor Thietris, who had been
taken from the Auditorium by Merlin prior to Dr.
Boatingirl's speech, has just returned. He walks over to
the Dr. and says quite earnestly, "I do apologize for
missing your presentation. I am positive that it was
quite illuminating and educational. Please feel free to
present here again at anytime. Good day to you now." As
the crowd begins to disburse, Dr. Boatingirl is
surrounded by several gentlemen wanting a private
word.
"Dr Boatingirl, it was the most
stimulating use of visual presentation, that I believe I
have seen used to present information on natural
formations.
It was most revealing. I do not
believe I will ever look at a crystal formation quite
the same way again. Thankyou for such an interesting
presentation." RW

Veronica had overheard this remark
and was quite pleased to do so. She ran back to the
DISCO and came back with something special to show RW.
Out of breath from running, she says, "Oh, I just had to
show you my babies. It is not the best picture I have, but the only one I
have here in the neighborhood."
Veronica
encourages RW to look at the picture again.

Excellent
presentation, Miss Clea- I mean, Boatingirl. Sorry I
missed it (RL, not your fault Merlin). Well done to all
for keeping the audience entertained! Maybe we can have
some more of these in the future.
Yes dear, the presentation is over. It
was very entertaining. ... um, yes I guess I did get up
and tell a few jokes. ... oh, don't worry, they were
just generic jokes, no particular theme to them ... yes,
you're right, they were. Yes, both Rodney and
Henny.
Oh, one last thing, we found out that
Veronica's got big ... oops, can you hold sweetie, I've
got another
call.

RW makes a mental note to try to find
the Dale Carnegie books he had many years ago. He wanted
to see if they offer any tips for this kind of
situation.
RW had not had a chance to grab lunch
before the presentation and headed for the egg room to
see what was available. He wondered where everyone had
got off to so quickly as the area was very quiet.

Professor T sips his cocoa and ponders
on the Great Zero. It is such a central feature of the
D'ni civilization, yet there is little literature on it. The D'ni must have
been great scientists. But where were all the scientific
papers and journals?
The professor thought he had
calibrated the Great Zero - he had, in a way. But it had
emitted light, and that apparently was not its correct
function. XP2 had enabled recalibration, revealing the
beam of neutrinos as it swept across the city. How did
it work? What was generating the neutrinos? What was the
function of the flowing water? And of the quartz
crystals?

...
The professor had put the scratchy old
disc on the record player. He took another sip of cocoa.
Soon he drifted off, thinking of a Christmas long ago,
of his mother and father, and his brothers and sisters,
the snow softly falling. So long ago ...
Cordelia
came in and saw the sleeping squirrel. She gently took
the empty mug from his paws and lifted the needle from
the centre of the record. Why was he
smiling?
After tucking the professor snuggly in
his drawer, Cordelia wonders back out in the empty hood.
The Egg Room has been ransacked and there is no food
left whatsoever. There are large black bags of garbage
scattered around the fountain waiting for the garbage
truck to come and collect in the morning.
She
slowly walks up the stairs to the auditorium to see if
any stragglers have remained in the hood. Maybe she was
hoping that RW was still around. She recalls how proud
she was that he had gone and stood up in front of so
many people to give his little speech
On seeing that all is
quiet she decides that maybe it's time for her cocoa and
bed so, gently placing her hand on her Relto book, she
links out.
Boatingirl and
Veronica - just what I needed to end the day. And
Chuckles, thank you so much for ditching those smelly
trainers
