|
|||
|
|
35 Emu watched the crowd to see if anyone was responding to Trainor's
|
|||
|
|
36 story. For a while all was quiet as the story of a man's mistake was
|
|||
|
|
37 recounted. Now he was trying to rectify his mistake, try to make up for
|
|||
|
|
38 the destruction that he caused by trying to stop future destruction.
|
|||
|
|
39 An unfamiliar force to most of those at the Inn, what had just been
|
|||
|
|
40 described could wipe out all that was known to us; all that we loved and
|
|||
|
|
41 called our own. Trainor looked haggard and needed help. He asked us for
|
|||
|
|
42 assistance, and we sit and consider the request.
|
|||
|
|
43 From nearby, Emu heard a sharp cry, followed by a couple interesting
|
|||
|
|
44 words. Looking, he saw Piper rise up and commit himself to Trainor's aid.
|
|||
|
|
45 Everyone watched as Piper walked across the room and say the immortal
|
|||
|
|
46 words, "Count me in." That was all Emu needed for a final incentive. The
|
|||
|
|
47 next voice heard in the Inn's common room was that of Emu:
|
|||
|
|
48 "Surely, Piper, you need someone along to help you take care of your
|
|||
|
|
49 sharp utensiles. Trainor, I'm in too!"

52 The halls are quiet now, but the memories of more vibrant days
|
|||
|
|
53 linger on even in the solitude. A lone janitor plies his trade slowly up
|
|||
|
|
54 and down the halls, his broom collecting everything that would be so
|
|||
|
|
55 unfortunate to fall in its path. Onward and onward, the broom and its
|
|||
|
|
56 driver make their way from classroom to classroom, all empty now, devoid
|
|||
|
|
57 of the students who give them life. The broom cares not that these rooms
|
|||
|
|
58 are empty. The driver is thankful of the fact, it is so much easier to
|
|||
|
|
59 sweep when the students are gone on the pursuits of summer. It is the
|
|||
|
|
60 season for cleaning, now that learning is over. The chalk dust of yet
|
|||
|
|
61 another lecture has long since been swept away. No broken pencils and
|
|||
|
|
62 crumpled papers grace the hallowed halls of this erudite institution.
|
|||
|
|
63 The lockers are empty, and the desks are clear. All of this suits the
|
|||
|
|
64 man with the broom. The man with the job that never ends is thankful for
|
|||
|
|
65 these peaceful days of summertime. The broom knows the course well,
|
|||
|
|
66 empty halls are vacations.

82 BERUIT -- (AP) The Yasser Arafat Performing Arts Center was the scene
|
|||
|
|
83 of a series of remarkable events last night with the season premier of the
|
|||
|
|
84 Lebanese Symphony Orchestra. Nattily attired in a rhinestone-studded
|
|||
|
|
85 powder blue straight jacket, guest conductor Dr. Frankenstupe achieved
|
|||
|
|
86 musical history with his first appearance in this Lebanese capital.
|
|||
|
|
87 Dr. Frankenstupe started the evening with a melodic rendition of PDQ
|
|||
|
|
88 Bach's Opus 54, the Dead Duck Symphony. A sour note was struck by an
|
|||
|
|
89 overenthusiastic oboist; but a well-placed kick from the second violin
|
|||
|
|
90 quickly solved the problem. Next on the program was Frankenstupe's own
|
|||
|
|
91 composition, Etude for Chainsaw and Jackhammer in E minor. The percussion
|
|||
|
|
92 section performed flawlessly and with the final crescendo, the crowd leaped
|
|||
|
|
93 to its feet roaring its appreciation.
|
|||
|
|
94 It can be said that Frankenstupe's greatest moment was when the Druze
|
|||
|
|
95 Boy's Choir joined the orchestra for the program's finale, the Flatulent
|
|||
|
|
96 Chorale. The second movement literally blew away the first two rows of the
|
|||
|
|
97 audience. There wasn't a dry eye in the hall as the last notes of the
|
|||
|
|
98 piece faded into memory.
|
|||
|
|
99 A knowledgable Beruit crowd brought Frankenstupe back for an unpre
|
|||
|
|
100 cidented thirteen curtain calls. Unfortunately, on the last curtain call,
|
|||
|
|
101 several armed men in black stocking caps charged the podium. Gunfire
|
|||
|
|
102 erupted at the orchestra battle to save their beloved guest conductor. One
|
|||
|
|
103 terrorist was captured and currently is in intensive care at Beruit General
|
|||
|
|
104 Hospital with a piccalo lodged where the sun don't shine.
|
|||
|
|
105 When the smoke cleared, Dr. Frankenstupe had disappeared and
|
|||
|
|
106 authorities fear he may have been taken hostage. No ransom demands have
|
|||
|
|
107 been made public at this time. There are unconfirmed reports that as Dr.
|
|||
|
|
108 Frankenstupe was carried bodily from the hall, he uttered one word...
|
|||
|
|
109 "Mother!" This reporter will continue to give full details of the Doctor's
|
|||
|
|
110 disappearance as they become available.

|

164 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|||
|
|
165 "Thank Amigc that this is only a First-Order spell. I don't think I'd enjoy
|
|||
|
|
166 doing a Third-Order", I said.
|
|||
|
|
167 The Doctor looked up from the command console of the TARDIS, and looked at
|
|||
|
|
168 us, busy with our preparations. "Whatza Third-Order spell, or for that matter,
|
|||
|
|
169 What's a First-Order spell?"
|
|||
|
|
170 "Simple, my friend. The spell's complexity increases with the number of
|
|||
|
|
171 dimensions you have to span simultaneously. The three spatial dimensions count
|
|||
|
|
172 as one, as they are a special case. The spell we are preparing only spans
|
|||
|
|
173 the Paratemporal dimension; you are taking care of the Spatial and Temporal
|
|||
|
|
174 components with the TARDIS. Thus, our spell need only be a First-Order."
|
|||
|
|
175 The Doctor shrugged, and emitted a low, "Oh." Seconds later, we heard the
|
|||
|
|
176 familiar "Shwush-thud" of the Time Rotor, meaning our journey was complete.
|
|||
|
|
177 "I believe that I'll glance outside, and see what's going on", the Doctor said.
|
|||
|
|
178 He touched something on the control panel. The monitor screen lit up, showing
|
|||
|
|
179 a traffic jam of grand proportions.
|
|||
|
|
180 The cause of said jam, it seemed, was the sudden appearance of an old-style
|
|||
|
|
181 English call-box in the center of the intersection.
|
|||
|
|
182 "Damn, left the Chameleon Circuit off again. Milch, see if you can't hurry
|
|||
|
|
183 your preparations up a bit, hmmmmm? I believe that someone's going t
|
|||
|
|
184 to investigate our 'arrival' quite shortly."
|
|||
|
|
185 "We're doing the best that we can", I said, as Grann and I began the casting.
|
|||
|
|
186 The Doctor knew what trouble interruption of the casting could cause, but that
|
|||
|
|
187 did not prevent him from muttering, "hurry" as he saw several police cars
|
|||
|
|
188 arriving at the scene, and policemen getting out to find out just what the
|
|||
|
|
189 trouble was.
|
|||
|
|
190 Grann took over the recital of the words, and I began the material casting.
|
|||
|
|
191 Symbols drawn and erased, dust scattered just so, objects crushed, and Grann
|
|||
|
|
192 droning on all the while...
|
|||
|
|
193 The final bit. Wands out, circles made in air, circles glow, expand, become
|
|||
|
|
194 wavy, fuzzier, grow larger, change colors, expand again, travel like phantoms
|
|||
|
|
195 though the walls, encircle the TARDIS, police halt at the sight, energies grow
|
|||
|
|
196 and entwine, preparation for the very last actions...
|
|||
|
|
197 Two coins appear, one in my hand and one in Grann's, are thrown over our right
|
|||
|
|
198 shoulders. They disappear, as if they never had existed. As do we.
|
|||
|
|
199 Imagine the surprise of the at least nine dozen spectators as the circle of
|
|||
|
|
200 glowing energy, once confined to more or less a horizontal plane, now begins
|
|||
|
|
201 spinning in all directions, defining a sphere about the call-box. Imagine
|
|||
|
|
202 further their surprise when quite suddenly, all that vanishes, and the only
|
|||
|
|
203 brief reminder that there was SOMETHING there is the boom and violent wind that
|
|||
|
|
204 follows the inrush of air to fill the vacuum.
|
|||
|
|
205 Now just imagine our surprise, as we look over the new landscape through the
|
|||
|
|
206 monitor, and see....

208 Fido-person: My 'xmodem' is a BASIC/ml hybrid. It is probably responsible
|
|||
|
|
209 for part of the extra delay. Add in the well known fact that on CIS you
|
|||
|
|
210 can count on about %50 of your time being 'wait states' in their computers
|
|||
|
|
211 or network and...
|
|||
|
|
212 As for YMODEM, I can't get it straight from TeleGodzilla. I can't use
|
|||
|
|
213 xmodem as it is in squeezed format & I still don't have an unsqueeze
|
|||
|
|
214 utilities for any of my systems. So I'd have to 'Type' it. Unfortunately,

215 I keep losing chars....

218 to work something out if you're really interested in getting Xmodem/Ymodem.

262 Why do I smell a fraud in Foxy Lady? Maybe I'm just gun-shy, but there have
|
|||
|
|
263 been too many examples, here in this People's Republic of Twitdom, of people
|
|||
|
|
264 playing games with their messages. Oh, well, we shall see. It's hard to
|
|||
|
|
265 explain to truly new users why we doubt them at their arrival.
|
|||
|
|
266 Anyone want to bet that we're the target of another joke from a 13-year
|
|||
|
|
267 old? I'll believe when I can run my hands over those beautiful.... Oh,
|

268 sorry, got carried away there.

279 down the hall and out the door i pace in order that i may soon
|
|||
|
|
280 forget why it is that i take to walking in the night. my mind longs
|
|||
|
|
281 for something other than the acts of futility, the daily chores.
|
|||
|
|
282 what i would like now, as a distraction, is something slightly out of
|
|||
|
|
283 the ordinary. maybe to forego the need to cling to reality and pick
|
|||
|
|
284 up the flight offered by fantasy might provide the wanted slice of
|
|||
|
|
285 life. maybe...

|

|
|
287 after telling a friend that i would be alright walking alone, i
|
|||
|
|
288 continue on the course that would take me home. now that the sun has
|
|||
|
|
289 left, it is feeling cooler and the breeze is still very welcome.
|
|||
|
|
290 i would be home although i find that the lights draw me to the
|
|||
|
|
291 place where i notice the faint din of voices. for want of some
|
|||
|
|
292 possible souce of excitement or entertainment i turn ot walk to the
|
|||
|
|
293 source. i am almost at the door when the branch of a tree catches at
|
|||
|
|
294 my shawl, my hair falls out from under the cowl. tucking it back in
|
|||
|
|
295 lace under the fabric i note that this is no ordinary tree for it
|
|||
|
|
296 contains an element so as to make me feel at peace. with the garment
|
|||
|
|
297 back in place, i snap a small brach, or twig, to carry with me to
|
|||
|
|
298 remind me of this peace.
|
|||
|
|
299 once inside i realize that this must be the place that has taken
|
|||
|
|
300 away the generic meaning of the word "inn", and has changed it to
|
|||
|
|
301 iclude also the words "genesis" and "nexus". highly acclaimed, and
|
|||
|
|
302 without an equal, the inn is surely the center of what must be a
|
|||
|
|
303 great discussion or debate as so many people inside have clustered
|
|||
|
|
304 together to speak of a common topic with such vigor.
|
|||
|
|
305 not to attract too much attention i make my way to te group of
|
|||
|
|
306 people that are consumed by this interest and tap one of the more
|
|||
|
|
307 confidant speakers on the shoulder to ask my question.
|
|||
|
|
308 "excuse me, could you tell me what it is that is so gripping? i
|
|||
|
|
309 have missed what it was that has been said and would like to know
|

353 As Emu was contemplating his last words, the ones that could change his
|
|||
|
|
354 boring existance forever, he saw her walk into the confusion of the Inn all
|
|||
|
|
355 alone. She had a strange look about her, like she had just gone through
|
|||
|
|
356 hell in a one-person liferaft. Her hair was bundled up precariously under
|
|||
|
|
357 the scarf on her head, as though it had been quickly tossed together. Next
|
|||
|
|
358 to her breast she clutched a branch from the Giving tree outside the door.
|
|||
|
|
359 As she made her way around the noisy throng, a few others saw and watched
|
|||
|
|
360 her. Emu ordered a steaming mug of spiced wine, guided her to a seat, and
|
|||
|
|
361 set the wine down in front of her. She took it gratefully, sipped it, and
|
|||
|
|
362 sighed.
|
|||
|
|
363 "What's everyone talking so excitedly about?" she asked. "I have missed
|
|||
|
|
364 what was said earlier."
|
|||
|
|
365 "The man warming his hands at the fire has just asked us all to help him
|
|||
|
|
366 in his quest. He needs our assistance in stopping a threat to the whole
|
|||
|
|
367 time/space continuim."
|
|||
|
|
368 "Oh."
|
|||
|
|
369 She was thoughtful for a moment, then, "What's his name?"
|
|||
|
|
370 "Trainor", Emu replied. "By the way, I'm called Emu. What may I call
|
|||
|
|
371 you?"
|
|||
|
|
372 She ignore his question, and asked "Where is he from?"
|
|||
|
|
373 "He came from some point of time outside of our's. He arrived in the
|
|||
|
|
374 machine outside about an hour ago." She sat quietly as Emu told her all
|
|||
|
|
375 that he knew of the man called Trainor.

379 As L'homme stepped into the room, wiping the moisture from his sweaty
|
|||
|
|
380 palm, he knew at once something was not right. A few moments ago he heard
|
|||
|
|
381 the voices of three people when now there was but one. Weapon drawn, he
|
|||
|
|
382 scanned the room with senses alert. All he found was a rather conspicuous
|
|||
|
|
383 secretary hiding behind scatterings of unattended paperwork with one ear
|
|||
|
|
384 pressed to her office intercom. It was no surprise that she continued with
|
|||
|
|
385 hardly a glance for she was far too engrossed with what was happening on
|
|||
|
|
386 the other end of the line. He recognized that if there were danger, it
|
|||
|
|
387 certainly wasn't here. Lowering the weapon to his side, out of view to
|
|||
|
|
388 the secretary, L'homme shook his head and commented.
|
|||
|
|
389 "Harumph! Isn't anything sacred anymore? I mean really." That seemed
|
|||
|
|
390 to do the job, for as he reached the front of the desk she spun around to
|
|||
|
|
391 greet him.
|
|||
|
|
392 "Oh! Yes, may I help you?"
|
|||
|
|
393 "I'm here to see a man about a... Actually, I'm here to see Ms. Lamb,
|
|||
|
|
394 I understand she is in. I would like to see her if she is available."
|
|||
|
|
395
|
|||
|
|
396 "I'm afraid that won't be possible at the moment, sir. She's in the
|
|||
|
|
397 middle of a... a conference. Yes, that's it, she's in a conference with
|
|||
|
|
398 her... her lawyer."
|
|||
|
|
399 "A lawyer is it?" The voice from over L'homme's shoulder could be
|
|||
|
|
400 none other than Fellows. L'homme turned just in time to see him with his
|
|||
|
|
401 hand in his jacket, concealing his sidearm in an inconspicuous fashion.
|
|||
|
|
402 "Good thinking," thought L'homme. "We needn't arouse any suspicion
|
|||
|
|
403 with anything other than our presence."
|
|||
|
|
404 "So there you are Fellows," he said aloud. "I'd thought you had
|
|||
|
|
405 been lost."
|
|||
|
|
406 "Little boys do tend to get lost," he said with a motion back at the
|
|||
|
|
407 hallway. "But what of this meeting with the lawyer? Do you think it's
|
|||
|
|
408 legit?" he mused. "Then again, lawyers have never barred our way before."
|
|||
|
|
409 "We're not here to judge the validity of his credentials," L'homme
|
|||
|
|
410 said as he turned back to the secretary. "We are here to see Ms. Lamb."
|
|||
|
|
411 Just then, words came across the intercom that drew their attention.
|
|||
|
|
412 Fellows hand went back inside his jacket.

Slowly the Former opened his eyes. Sunlight was streaming down from the
|
|||
|
|
545 windows. The little room looked much larger in the daylight. As did our fury
|
|||
|
|
546 little friend with the slowly adjusting eyes.
|
|||
|
|
547 A stillness came over the scene that relaxed the Former after a restless
|
|||
|
|
548 night. The stillness injected the feeling that there was time to do pretty
|
|||
|
|
549 much anything he really wanted to do.
|
|||
|
|
550 He announced to nobody his schedule for the day and that he intended to
|
|||
|
|
551 follow all of it to the letter. Which he did not do by any means. Since the
|
|||
|
|
552 schedule required about nine things that he was too short to do.
|
|||
|
|
553 The first one of them was to go down and ask everyone when they were going
|
|||
|
|
554 to leave. Depending on how many people actually answered this question, he
|
|||
|
|
555 was going to ask them if they actually planned on leaving.
|
|||
|
|
556 Of course, he wanted to clear up the little detail of where they were
|
|||
|
|
557 actually going to go anyway. What they would do when they got there, if they
|
|||
|
|
558 ever really did.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
559 Mind you, he never really got up the nerve to do any of this, and instead
|
|||
|
|
560 his wandered around his room, above the commons, and stretched all day. His
|
|||
|
|
561 mind full of thoughtss of young koala female bears, instead of the business at
|
|||
|
|
562 hand.
