That sounds about right, so far. Actually, I'm glad you got it instead of 
me, considering what she expected in return for the bequest.

Fortunately, my scanner doesn't work much beyond the space time continuum 
for which it was designed. Unfortunately, I haven't exactly been able to 
ascertain just which space time continuum that is, so there is some 
residual uncertainty inherent in the scanning process. I find this is 
pretty much expected in data acquisition relating to the workings of 
government in any capacity you could name anyway, so it's not that 
significant or traumatic a revelation in the final analysis. Stuff happens, 
regardless of our capacity to process the implications, so we concern 
ourselves instead, with more mundane and functionally insignificant 
concerns. At least I do.

Ah, but do you have the frequency and call sign to contact the mother ship 
for pick up? If so, I may meet you yet... soon.

You just didn't recognize me. I was the potted Ficus in the corner, that 
everyone was pouring drinks into.

Hic.

Thanks. I always liked the essay questions, though my teachers might have 
had other opinions.
