|
|||
|
|
21 Just as I was unable to halt the flight of the arrow as it passed over-
|
|||
|
|
22 head, nor was I able to withstand the pain I felt as it's counterpart struck
|
|||
|
|
23 home to my bossom. What was there to be done now that all things have made for
|
|||
|
|
24 this final encounter? I could see that my time with mortals was short and very
|
|||
|
|
25 near an end.
|
|||
|
|
26 Two figures fell to the ground as cries from their companions filled
|
|||
|
|
27 the air, disbelief in the actions of the present. As I raised my head to look
|
|||
|
|
28 into the faces of our visitors txeir features were now clear. How is it that I
|
|||
|
|
29 was unable to recognize the face of the one I had watched grow from its
|
|||
|
|
30 infancy? Extreme grief came over me as I knew that the visitors were of the
|
|||
|
|
31 House which I guarded. The irony of it all, I the castellan of House West to
|
|||
|
|
32 be struck down in a struggle with my own Family... Master West and his
|
|||
|
|
33 guardian of the Sound, Castle by the Lake, wounded by the people they trusted
|

|
|
34 as friends. Friends in this instance could not be blamed for what they had

35 done for it had been done for the

57 guess I haven't tried when the disk was nearly full...I'll fix it. But I am

58 confused! If BWMS can accept characters without delay, and my cheapy modem
|
|||
|
|
59 (really cheap--$59.95) is what causes the need for it here, then how come I can
|
|||

65 Reli and Denap had headed into town that morniong to pick up a hydraulic
|
|||
|
|
66 pump bearing for Loraine, a human female with whom she and her 'father' had
|
|||
|
|
67 been living.
|
|||
|
|
68 On thair way to hytronix GK., Denap had stoped off at a human drinking
|
|||
|
|
69 establishment tor refreshment, and a hushed backroom conversation (from which
|
|||
|
|
70 Reli had been curtly excluded. She had
|
|||
|
|
71 seen the same shafpenz who had been trying to subdue her moments before in the
|
|||
|
|
72 alley, emerge from the room in question moments before her 'father's' return.
|
|||
|
|
73 Considering the shafpenz' demonstrated reluctance to leave living witness-
|
|||
|
|
74 ess, Laz's prognostication for Denap's continued good health was mot optom,istic
|
|||
|
|
75 As they talked, they continued down the 'street' in the direction of Laz's
|
|||
|
|
76 company owned transport: a human manufactured grav-sled the size and shape of a
|
|||
|
|
77 Lananaran single-ship but with out space drives.
|
|||
|
|
78 Sorting out his own feelings; it seamed to Laz that ther was nothing for it
|
|||
|
|
79 but to look up this Loraine. By human law he would probably have to leave her
|
|||
|
|
80 (reli) thair. He was not, at this thought, entirely without trepidation.

|

|
|
83 Programmer: Your modem IS a factor, but I suspect that BW's hard/software
|
|||
|
|
84 may have something to do with it too. My M3 never had any trouble with BW
|
|||
|
|
85 but the M100 occasionally has trouble when I type fast (I can type fast
|
|||
|
|
86 enought to partially fill my keyboard buffer, thus causing MAX send rate).
|
|||
|
|
87 Mikey: Since BW is the ONLY system that this shows up on, maybe we need
|
|||
|
|
88 to compare notes. The most common errors are substituting 'x' for 'h'
|
|||
|
|
89 (I think this only happens with l/c...) and substituting <DEL> for 's'
|
|||
|
|
90 Any ideas? I wonder if either bw is slightly 'out-of-tune' or maybe it
|
|||
|
|
91 just echoes faster txan other systems....

|
|
98 "In here!", yelled L'homme. He and the others had been perusing the
|
|||
|
|
99 computer data banks for information regarding the former NET agent now known
|
|||
|
|
100 as Kosta. Farley was busy with the data banks on Kosta's Eastern European
|
|||
|
|
101 experiences, Fellows was checking in to past NET activities, and L'homme sans
|
|||
|
|
102 Parity was searching through all information relating too past acquaintances
|
|||
|
|
103 and associates. Parity was the first to find anything of more than mild
|
|||
|
|
104 interest. He had called in the other two to show them what he found. He could
|
|||
|
|
105 have sent them the text via inter-office window/mail system, but he preferred
|
|||
|
|
106 the flesh/blood communication system better.
|
|||
|
|
107 "Dig up any old skeletons Parity?", Fellows, as always, joked.
|
|||
|
|
108 "Skeletons no, leads yes. Take a look at this interesting bit of
|
|||
|
|
109 trivia about one Miss Mary Lamb. It turns out that Kosta spent some time
|
|||
|
|
110 in the beautiful Queen of the Pacific, San Francisco, before he left for
|
|||
|
|
111 Europe on that last mission. Most of said time was spent in the company of
|
|||
|
|
112 Miss Lamb. She was quite the social butterfly, and for her to stay with Kosta
|
|||
|
|
113 for such an extended period of time was big news for the local gadflys and
|
|||
|
|
114 mouths-about-town. When Kosta left on his mission, Lamb disappeared for a
|
|||
|
|
115 couple weeks, but then she resurfaced, and returned to her normal busy
|
|||
|
|
116 social schedule. I ran a cross-tab on her, and found out that although she
|
|||
|
|
117 has calmed down a bit from her heyday, she still manages to make the society
|
|||
|
|
118 page from time to time."
|
|||
|
|
119 Farley cut in. "And you think Kosta may have gone to San Fran to re-
|
|||
|
|
120 kindle an old flame?"
|
|||
|
|
121 "Perhaps. It's our best lead yet. We really have nothing else to go
|
|||
|
|
122 on. Kosta is an experienced agent, and he hid his trail from the cabin
|
|||
|
|
123 perfectly. No airline traces, no rented cars. You should take notes from this
|
|||
|
|
124 man Farley."
|
|||
|
|
125 Farley nodded. He realized he had much to learn. He was still only
|
|||
|
|
126 a junior agent, but already Parity and Fellows were paying much more attention
|
|||
|
|
127 to what he said, and their critical comments were coming less and less.
|
|||
|
|
128 "Then it is off to California we go!" Fellows sang. "My fav-or-rite
|
|||
|
|
129 state in the union." He pronounced each part of the word very carefully, so to
|
|||
|
|
130 get the maximum reaction from his two fellow agents. "I wish they all could
|
|||
|
|
131 be Cal-if-for-nia girlssssss!"
|
|||
|
|
132 "Enough already. Fellows, if you weren't such a good agent in the
|
|||
|
|
133 field, I would have you sent to Ada for retraining. Your lack of any decorum
|
|||
|
|
134 does not befit even the loose standards of code we have here." It was hard to
|
|||
|
|
135 tell if Parity was serious or joking.
|
|||
|
|
136 "La Home", he started, deliberately mispronouncing the name, "you take
|
|||
|
|
137 things too seriously. Lighten up old man. We NET agents gots to have a little
|
|||
|
|
138 fun once in a while. Heavens knows Ian doesn't give us a helluva chance to
|
|||
|
|
139 have any."
|
|||
|
|
140 "Ian..." Farley straightened up at the mention of the name of the head
|
|||
|
|
141 of NET. "Shouldn't we tell him about our plans. He said he wanted to keep
|
|||
|
|
142 a tighter reign on things. Ever since the... attempt, he has been... well
|
|||
|
|
143 different. Have you noticed too?"
|
|||
|
|
144 "Sure he's acting different. It has been awhile since Ian has been in
|
|||
|
|
145 the field. I don't think he's used to the climate out there. Someone brought
|
|||
|
|
146 the weather in to him, and it has indeed changed him. Don't worry though. He'll
|
|||
|
|
147 get better. He's just a bit touchy." L'homme seemed sure of what he was saying,
|
|||
|
|
148 but Farley was unconvinced.
|
|||
|
|
149 "I guess so, but I still wonder."
|
|||
|
|
150 "OK boys. Let's tell Ian our plans, and have Ada book us on the next
|
|||
|
|
151 flight to the bay. I noticed on the check-out display that someone else has
|
|||
|
|
152 the Lear. Darn I hate PDX, and those tasteless snacks the airlines hoist on
|
|||
|
|
153 people, but I guess we have no choice. The days of Atomic cars are over."
|
|||
|
|
154 "Yes." sighed Parity and Farley in perfect unison. They laughed,
|
|||
|
|
155 turned off the displays, and made their arrangements.
|
|||
|
|
156
|
|||
|
|
157 After cursing up a storm that would make a sailor blush, the cabbie
|
|||
|
|
158 guided his yellow decker up Mission street to 6th. "That's fine. Let us off
|
|||
|
|
159 here." L'homme paid the driver a handsome tip, and the three NET agents
|
|||
|
|
160 exited the cab into the sunny 70 degree weather. "Off this way. And watch
|
|||
|
|
161 the cars. These people are crazy down here." L'homme warned.
|
|||
|
|
162 "I know..." Fellows smiled. "I know."

177 even so, it may seem long. I know this past year has seemed to expand into

192 As night began to settle, the brilliance of the evenings calm rang
|
|||
|
|
193 clear. Night's lack of city noise can sound just as loud as day but never so
|
|||
|
|
194 sweet. This isi the time when all others go about turning off their lights and
|
|||
|
|
195 stagger off into blissful slumber. This is the time when I start to unwind.
|
|||
|
|
196 Taking up the habit I had allowed to lapse in recent months was that of
|
|||
|
|
197 reading for relaxation. A good book, on occasion, could be more relaxing than
|
|||
|
|
198 some attepmts at inteligent conversation with a drowsy friend. As I started
|
|||
|
|
199 reading the third chapter for the evening the words began to flow effortlessly
|
|||
|
|
200 towards my mind. The pages were like sheets fluttering in the wind and my hands
|
|||
|
|
201 the breeze that caused their unfolding. As the pages turned to hours I barely
|
|||
|
|
202 noted that my eyes were now reading through closed lids, only savoring the
|
|||
|
|
203 final words that had been read rather than continuing on in delight of the new
|
|||
|
|
204 ones.
|
|||
|
|
205 When I begin to feel so content I no longer care that I am holding the
|
|||
|
|
206 pages open. I just hold on lest it fall to the ground, away from my grasp.

209 my entries here. It botherd me a whole bunch to know that I had lost the first
|
|||

210 two contracts that day and I couldn't help but let loose in story form. It's

228 The piper sat nursing another ale. His clothing repaired or replaced, he
|
|||
|
|
229 showed little effects of his recent adventure save some slight burns along
|
|||
|
|
230 one side of his jaw. His appearance, however, was somewhat different --
|
|||
|
|
231 several bolts had seared large parts of his full beard into a tangled mess.
|
|||
|
|
232 Giving up the salvage effort, the piper had exposed his chin (contrary to

233 popular rumor, he does posess at least one of those accessories) to the
|
|||
|
|
234 cruel atmosphere of the outside world. Listening with only half of his

235 attention, he heard Farley announce his 18th birthday. With a smile,

236 the piper stood and winded his pipes. Soon the patrons were singing (and

237 refusing to pay the copyright holder any royalties) "Happy birrthdayy

|
241 Leonard: It's a combination of factors really, I send to BW without delays
|
|||
|
|
242 all the time. I have been in situations where the phone line was so terible
|
|||
|
|
243 that I had to do the character wait thing though. The modem on BW has a
|
|||
|
|
244 crystal controled transmiter, so it isn't off tune. However, there is no
|
|||
|
|
245 filter on the transmitter, so it puts out a bit more spectral garbage then
|
|||
|
|
246 some of the better modems. Its carrier is digitally generated waveform.
|
|||
|
|
247 (It uses the motoral 41211 modem chip.) It also only has 8 poles of filtering,
|
|||
|
|
248 compared to the 12 or more in the better modems. Thus some of the problems
|
|||
|
|
249 that are encountered. When the two characters are transmitted at the same
|
|||
|
|
250 time they affect the overall signal, sometimes canceling each other out,
|
|||
|
|
251 other time adding to each other. it is up to the filters to try to figure
|
|||
|
|
252 this mess out. The more and better filtering you have the better it is
|
|||
|
|
253 able to figure it out, the trade off is the more filtering you have, the
|
|||
|
|
254 more difficult it is to get them to respond quickly enough to the signal
|
|||
|
|
255 changes. Like a bigger car that takes longer to stop because of the increased
|
|||
|
|
256 inertia, more filters offer more inertia to the signal change, they want
|
|||
|
|
257 to keep on ringing at the previous frequency. So they have to be very
|
|||
|
|
258 carfully tuned to be as responsive as possible. The big problem that I
|
|||
|
|
259 had with the PCS modem that is on BW is when I designed it, it was to be
|
|||
|
|
260 a 'kit' which means no tuning allowed since most builders wouldn't have
|
|||
|
|
261 the means or knowledge to do so, so I had to compromise. So it isn't the
|
|||
|
|
262 perfect modem, but out of 85 kits that were built, I only know of 3 that
|
|||
|
|
263 didn't work, and those were due to the usual assembly errors.

|

|
|
272
|
|||
|
|
273 Rhian pressed on, watching with trepidation as the ferocity of the
|
|||
|
|
274 storm increased. Pulling the ragged hood of his cloak over his wet,
|
|||
|
|
275 snow soaked head, he sighed tiredly.
|
|||
|
|
276 He had been caught in one of these Northmountian squalls once before,
|
|||
|
|
277 and, decidedly, one such encounter
|
|||
|
|
278 with the particular phenomena was
|
|||
|
|
279 quite enough for any man. The "White devils" he had heard them called;
|
|||
|
|
280 came swiftly, dropped the temperature with startling rapidity and were
|
|||
|
|
281 known to linger for a notoriously long time. As he shook the annoying
|
|||
|
|
282 accumulation of snow from himself, he grunted scornfully. Longer than he
|
|||
|
|
283 cared to wait. And yet he could remember a timewhen he had thought this
|
|||
|
|
284 self same storms "Beautiful". When he
|
|||
|
|
285
|
|||
|
|
286 had first arrived, they had been
|
|||
|
|
287 "Tranquil and soothing to watch" Hah!
|
|||
|
|
288 He smiled at the irony. Of course, that had been behind windows of glass,
|
|||
|
|
289 before a roaring fire. He flexed his rapidly numbing fingers, wishing
|
|||
|
|
290 vainly for that fire, for that room, even for the cheap leather gloves
|
|||
|
|
291 he had sold weeks ago for a few pennies.Tucking them under his arms, he
|
|||
|
|
292 carefully utilized the warmth he found there. No, this life wasn't for him
|
|||
|
|
293 Never had been. See the world. Rhian spat scornfully, his saliva freezin
|
|||
|
|
294 before it even hit the ground.
|
|||
|
|
295 He looked upward. It really was getting cold now. But the sky
|
|||
|
|
296 showed no signs of slowing; if anything it was speeding up. Well, it was
|
|||
|
|
297 now down to two choices, Rhian thought. Stay on the main road, or what he
|
|||
|
|
298 could still see of it, and die of
|
|||
|
|
299 exposure, or leave the road, and die in the endless myriad of rolling hills
|
|||
|
|
300 Rhian felt a distinct tinge of dislike at each. He shivered, wishing for a
|
|||
|
|
301 coin to flip.
|
|||
|
|
302 Suddenly, from the east there was a biting gust of icy wind, slicing
|
|||
|
|
303 through all Rhian's attempts at warmth.
|
|||
|
|
304 Moving quickly into the shelter of some trees near the road, he made a
|
|||
|
|
305 quick descision. Why not? At leadst the
|
|||
|
|
306 trees could offer some windbreak. He always had liked trees.

321 PDX, Farley thought, must certainly be one of the oddest places in the state.
|
|||
|
|
322 Groups of ex-Dangerfield followers gathered near the terminals, waiting to
|
|||
|
|
323 pester unsuspecting travellers to buy their daisies. A punk rocker lurked
|
|||
|
|
324 at every door, or so it seemed. One group in particular had a sign reading
|
|||
|
|
325 "Frisco JAM '85" in large violet colors.
|
|||
|
|
326 Despite the weirdness, Fellows seemed right at home. "Hey, great group of
|
|||
|
|
327 people we've got here. La Home, aren't you travelling with that group there?",
|
|||
|
|
328 he said, pointing at the sign.
|
|||
|
|
329 "No, but I'm sure that group is just chuck full of subversive elements.
|
|||
|
|
330 Fellows, you've always wanted to go undercover for an indefinite period...",
|
|||
|
|
331 L'homme began, obviously annoyed at being reminded of his previous disguise.
|
|||
|
|
332 "Now waaaaait a minute. Just stop thinking that, as of now" Fellows said.
|
|||
|
|
333 "What? Did you hear what I heard, Farley? There *IS* a limit to how far
|
|||
|
|
334 Fellows will go?"
|
|||
|
|
335 "Stop picking on him, L'homme. Personally, I think that last suggestion was
|
|||
|
|
336 punishment enough for his continual wise-cracks."
|
|||
|
|
337 "All right, Farley. Ah, there's the gate for our flight."
|
|||
|
|
338 Farley and L'homme, carrying their small but completely-stocked suitcases,
|
|||
|
|
339 moved off towards the gate. Fellows, a bit miffed at having his game played
|
|||
|
|
340 back on him, hesitated a moment, then quickly caught up.
|
|||
|
|
341 After an uneventful boarding of the plane, the three agents found their seats.
|
|||
|
|
342 To avoid suspicion, their seats were scattered randomly throughout the first-
|
|||
|
|
343 class section. To communicate, the NET labs had supplied small transceivers
|
|||
|
|
344 to the agents that fit in the ear. Nothing had been overlooked, all details
|
|||
|
|
345 accounted for, except....
|
|||
|
|
346 <Hey, La Home> Fellows whispered through his transceiver.
|
|||
|
|
347 <What now, Fellows?>
|
|||
|
|
348 <I've checked everywhere. NET labs didn't supply one.>
|
|||
|
|
349 <Supply one of what?>, I broke in.
|
|||
|
|
350 <They forgot my toothbrush. You know how I hate to travel without a
|
|||
|
|
351 toothbrush, don't you, La Home?>

|

|
|
376 Slowly but surely he made his way through the cold of the mountains. (A
|
|||
|
|
377 ot of them around lately.) It was a hard thing for him to hide from so many
|
|||
|
|
378 others that he had almost assumed that he would have been followed and caught
|
|||
|
|
379 with no hesitation, but wasn't. Why hadn't they followed? Ha d he convinced
|
|||
|
|
380 them all too cleverly with his deceit and cunning? Or was the pursuit of the
|
|||
|
|
381 other more important to them? As he continued in his quest for some small
|
|||
|
|
382 piece of shelter, a place where che could spend a few tiring moments in rest,
|
|||
|
|
383 one thing came back to his mind. Although not prepared for the coming night,
|
|||
|
|
384 he had remembered a reason for hope, a reason for living just one more day in
|
|||
|
|
385 order that he may soon be reunited with that hope.
|
|||
|
|
386 Stumbling on in vain, fleeing just for fleeing's sake, fatigue soon over-
|
|||
|
|
387 came this man of adventure and his legs began to slow due to the elements
|
|||
|
|
388 unending assault on his body. With a slowed reaction time, his foot caught on
|
|||
|
|
389 a stump limb that his eye had missed in the early dusk. His body came to the
|
|||
|
|
390 ground with a shallow thud and there he stayed. Body inert but mind racing
|
|||
|
|
391 like a grayhound after a rabbit, he soon came up with a way to remove the
|
|||
|
|
392 restraints at his wrists behind his back. Had he been able use his arm for
|
|||
|
|
393 balance as he ran, he might not have taken so many falls, so much pain, so many
|
|||
|
|
394 new scars. But as a man with training and experience behind him he did not cry
|
|||
|
|
395 out when his nerves demanded he should. No, although human, he forced himself
|
|||
|
|
396 to play the professional. With his arms now freed, he brought his hands out
|
|||
|
|
397 from behind his back and rolled over into a sitting position so that he may
|
|||
|
|
398 survey the bruises left by the bands that had once held them... dark they were.
|
|||
|
|
399 Bruises that should be red, but turned blue from the chill were covered by only
|
|||
|
|
400 one thing other than the cuffs of his thin shirt and jacket. And that one
|
|||
|
|
401 thing reminded him more of his goal to stay alive, to struggle the one who had
|
|||
|
|
402 given him this token of her affection. It was a simple man's bracelet with an
|
|||
|
|
403 inscription on it that could hardly be read due to the abuse it had suffered
|
|||
|
|
404 along with its owner, and on it were five simple words, and they were
|
|||
|
|
405 TO LEWIS, WITH LOVE. MARY.
|
|||
|
|
406 His eyes closed slowly as the memories came rushing back to him. The few
|
|||
|
|
407 hours they were able to spend with each other on those days that were so far
|
|||
|
|
408 apart, and now so long ago flooded his mind. Her almost believed that he could
|
|||
|
|
409 see her face before him once again, the touch of her hand, the feel of her hair
|
|||
|
|
410 as it would pass across his face and along his shoulders - ecstacy...
|
|||
|
|
411 "In all my days, I promise to thee, *I* shall return to our 'square one'."
|
|||
|
|
412 His eyes came back open and now had the glazed look of a desperate man. There
|
|||
|
|
413 was no stopping this one any longer, he had a new mission. And a date with his
|
|||
|
|
414 new destiny.

419 The evening was still early. A stack of plates covered one corner of the
|
|||
|
|
420 glowing wooden bartop where the innkeeper was discussing some arcane abstraction
|
|||
|
|
421 with a small group of patrons. The hum of conversation, which never stopped
|
|||
|
|
422 at the inn, had reached a still-low level.
|
|||
|
|
423 The piper, having finished a satisfying dinner that most assuredly would
|
|||
|
|
424 increase his already respectable girth, was making his way between several
|
|||
|
|
425 tables, planning to engage someone new in conversation. He nearly did not
|
|||
|
|
426 see the black-robed figure sitting in the shadows. The fustian robe rustled
|
|||
|
|
427 slightly as the figure reached out an arm to tug at the piper's sleeve.
|
|||
|
|
428 Politely the piper paused.
|
|||
|
|
429 "Ahh... " The voice was a hoarse whisper, not betraying whether the speaker
|
|||
|
|
430 was male or female.
|
|||
|
|
431 "Sit, good sir," the voice continued. "Would you not like to glimpse the

|||
|
|
432 future?"

494 Alice Brand: I liked your entry, the different meanings were ones that I have
|
|||
|
|
495 had to see too. You loved something so much, it hurt to see
|
|||
|
|
496 yourself destroy it. But now that you see it was for the better,
|
|||
|
|
497 do you have any questions about what you did? It seems that
|
|||
|
|
498 whatever we do it brings more into the light, more for us to deal
|
|||
|
|
499 with. It always helps to remember the good things that have
|
|||
|
|
500 come from things we have done.

503 The main element of Lananaran society which has yet to be descouvered by
|
|||
|
|
504 earth-human anthropologistys, is ther engine which drives the Lananaran economy
|
|||
|
|
505 The primary driving forces of Lananaran society, seems to be the desire to create
|
|||
|
|
506 beauty and to reverse entropy( which is looked upon as evil). Perhaps these drive
|
|||
|
|
507 the economy as well, though the manor in which this is done remains unclear.
|
|||
|
|
508 It has been something like one hundred and forty some odd years since
|
|||
|
|
509 earth-humans first encountered Lananarans. In jthese few shory years, our own social assumptions
|
|||
|
|
510 have undergone so many revisions that at least a few of us have learned to stop
|
|||
|
|
511 assuming altogather, or at least try to. Yet, with all many points remain unclear.
|
|||
|
|
512 If we have learned anything from the bloody events of 200 b.e. , let us hope
|
|||
|
|
513 (however hard the lesson) that we have finaly learned not to confuse a peaceful
|
|||
|
|
514 nature with weakness or vulnerability to attack, or, social stability, with technological stagn-
|
|||
|
|
515 ation.
|
|||
|
|
516 There is a popular misconcepation thaat Lananaran culture is some how uniform
|
|||
|
|
517 or monolithic. I must confess that my earlier triests on the subject have done little
|
|||
|
|
518 to dispell this illusion, and may even have contributed to it.
|
|||
|
|
519 The simple fact of the mate is that no6t only is
|
|||
|
|
520 each Lananaran a unique individual (who glories in this unipueness rather than
|
|||
|
|
521 try to hide it as we once (mistakenly) thought proper) but every village, town, 'urban' neighbor
|
|||
|
|
522 hood, and rural destrict is, itself, an utterly unique cultural enclave. Granted, the common
|
|||
|
|
523 thread of the Celo-op-Soco dominates an overwhelming majority of cases; there
|
|||
|
|
524 are , non the less, regeonal, national, and even
|
|||
|
|
525 multinational traditions. Yet even here, individual communities interpret thyese in
|
|||
|
|
526 unique and oaften unexpected ways.
|
|||
|
|
527 There is however, one planet-wide universal, whichmay well c0ontribute to the
|
|||
|
|
528 maintenance of this great diversity, and that is the right of free movement of
|
|||
|
|
529 indiveduals. This is protected and, whin necessary, enforced by the planetary government itself.
|
|||
|
|
530 Lananarans have an abiding love of thair transport infrastructure, at least guided
|
|||
|
|
531 ground at anu rate, wjich they m,aintain with a devotion which borders on religeos.
|
|||
|
|
532 Long distance travel is kept cheap while shorter trips arre usualy free.

562 A tough decision: modem price = (more or less) external drive price. How
|
|||
|
|
563 can I give up watching tales unfold on my screen? How can I end frustration
|
|||
|
|
564 with switching disks all the time? How can I do both and still have money
|
|||
|
|
565 for groceries? HE wants a drive; I want a modem. Crossroads...

567 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (such hard decisions...)
|

568 If it were possible, the modem would be the choice.

576 The first game was a real mess. There was no such thing as real strategy. All
|

|
|
577 you missed was a whole lot of confusion and two more victories under your belt
|
|||
|
|
578 from the young ones. P is still domineering, Z is learning, and E is still the
|
|||
|
|
579 same old E we all know him to be. Then there is that new merc, K. Voice later.
