"The second interview"Chapter 6

Allen and the Ehesti left by the outside exit and re-entered by the front living room door that opened up directly onto the stage. There was a loud round of applause. Allen went up to the microphone, while the Ehesti sat down and observed who was in the audience, all the while dodging flashes from the cameras. Most of you have met the Ehesti before, said Allen, but for those of you who haven't, allow me to introduce our three visitors from the life support sphere they call Balenn. They claim to be 16,000 years old and they are here to share some of their knowledge with us. To prevent a scream fest, I would ask you again not to ask questions on Religion or Politics. Allen turned towards the visitors. This is Bo, Beem and Beenan. They stood up one at a time and made a slight bow. Everyone applauded again. Beenan will be the spokesman for the group.

Beenan took his place at the podium. There was a special swivel chair for him there that was quite comfortable. Okay, we are ready for the first question. Please do not ask any repeat questions. Refer to the notes of our last interview, to avoid duplication. Okay, the gentleman with the red tie, over to my left. You go ahead first. Thank you Beenan, he said politely. I was not here for the last interview, when you performed those supernatural feats. I wonder if you could do something like that again. Beenan concentrated for a moment. Instantly, Beenan and the podium were standing directly in front of the questioner, no more than one foot in front of him. The top half of Beenan and the top half of the podium seemed solid, but the bottom half just seemed to disappear into the row of seats in front of him. Those sitting in front could see Beenan, if they turned around, but Beenan didn't stay long enough for that. Although his form didn't seem quite solid, there was no doubt that the podium and Beenan were gone from the stage. Beenan put on his widest smile. How is this, he asked? Beenan paused for a second and instantly flashed back to the stage. Everyone applauded. It was too quick for the cameras.

Okay, no more demonstrations, announced Beenan. This is an interview, not a side show. Who is next? The man just next to him jumped up. I have a question, he shouted, with his hand raised, as if in school. Go ahead then, said Beenan. Do you foresee a nuclear holocaust on this planet, as many do? A good question; I will try to give you a better idea of what time is and does first. The past and now are all one. The future is a mass of probabilities, waiting to materialize, depending on which one we choose. As soon as we choose that probability becomes past of now and thousands of other probabilities wait to be realized. The future, as you call it, is controlled largely by the Gestalt of which you are an active member in your sleep. In that sense you control the future.

Let me take you back to your last war, called world Ward Two. One of the horrors of that war was the use of gas to immobilize the enemy. Once the horrendous results were recognized, all forms of gas, or nerve gas as it was called, were banned. To this day, that form of weapon has not been used again. The destructive power of nuclear energy was also made evident over the last two decades. The same force that held back the nerve gas will also hold back the nuclear weaponry. Many different threats may appear, but the chance of an all out nuclear war is very remote. Some countries may flex their muscles with the limited use of nuclear arms, but don't hold your breath for the holocaust.

Although we are from a different time experience, we cannot see the future per say. The future lies so close to the edge of what is now, that it is almost controlled by the now events. Your choice of probabilities is actually a now event. We cannot say what choices you will make, so we cannot predict the exact future. We can come close though, by tuning into the plans of the Gestalt that you are part of.

A mosquito that lives for one of your days, experiences life in a different time concept then you, but it is as fulfilled as you and its lifespan seems long to itself. All time is now. The further back you stand from time, the smaller it gets, like an image, until you get far enough back, where it seems to disappear. What you have left is the reality of now. Time is to be used and not visa versa. In this context, the past goes on forever and the future is a never ending selection of probabilities for us to choose from. As you progress into the astral plane, all this will become evident to you. Don't give yourself a headache trying to understand it. We are attempting to explain to you, about a situation which has no words yet made up for it. What we are trying to do, is speak in parallels. When you are walking along one rail of a railroad track, you get a good idea of what the rail looks like under your feet, by observing the parallel rail.

Next question; The woman in the third row with the blue dress on. Thank you. We are expending so much energy counteracting gravity. Can you give any tips on anti-gravity? You have not advanced to where my answer will make sense to you, but I will attempt it. Beyond the frequency range of microwaves, and below the light frequencies, there lives another plane of wave length. We will call them super microwaves for row. You are all aware of the effect of microwaves on molecules and how they produce heat through friction in the molecules themselves. These super microwaves, not yet discovered, produce a different effect. They subtract from the weight potential of each molecule they pass through. When this new wave is perfected, you will find that it affects every molecule in its path the same way. The molecule remains intact, but its weight is diminished. The by-product from this transformation is a very heavy gas, not yet discovered also. The gas will also become very useful in stabilizing objects which are now too light in themselves. For example; When the gas is absorbed into a feather, there will be no physical change in the feather other than the fact that it now weighs four or five times as much. It will also display another peculiar property. When heat is applied to this gas, it will liquefy. When even more heat is applied, it will turn to a solid. Many new devices will be invented, putting this new strange gas to use. It will eventually be used as ballast in anti-gravity machines. The energy you use to produce the anti-gravity wave length will also produce the ballast to come down. Other life forms on other planets are using this product of solar wind to their advantage, with great success. It won't be long before you on earth harness this same power. All of this is being worked on right now, but in top secret labs of course.

Next Question; everyone was so busy jotting down notes, that no one put their hand up. Beenan took this opportunity to lake a sip of water and to ask Allen a question. Do you know of the top secret labs I just mentioned and do you think any of our audience does? I have never heard of these labs, but I believe they exist, if you say so. I doubt very much if anyone in the audience is from the C.I.A. or K.G.B., so they probably don't know any more than me. Than you don't mind if I continue further on this subject? Not at all replied Allen; go as far as you wish. Next question, Beenan repeated, this time closer to the microphone. The same woman in the blue dress raised her hand again. Could you elaborate a little more on your last reply? I still do not quite understand. Of course, said Beenan. The sun, besides producing heat and light, also produces solar wind. Between your audio frequency of about 3000 cycles and your light frequency in the billions of cycles, all other frequencies exist. Some you call high frequency, very high frequency, microwave, etc.

 All of these mentioned frequencies are being radiated from solar wind, almost constantly, along with the others that you cannot measure and not yet control. One of these undiscovered frequency ranges, has a direct affect on gravity. In that same range can be found the frequency of gravity itself. When you learn to finally control the gravity frequencies, you will then have discovered anti-matter, because the focusing and concentration of these waves on all matter, will lessen the weight value of that object, up to a point, where it goes beyond zero weight. It than looses its form and becomes anti-matter. You are closer than you think, to this discovery, when the apparatus is finally constructed, to control these waves, you will find that the space between your apparatus and the target, when charged by the gravity rays, will produce a very heavy gas, similar to mercury, only not in liquid form.

This gas is very dangerous to human life, because it is capable of passing through your skin and settling in your bones. If it is kept warm however, enough to maintain it's liquid or solid state, it will be harmless. It will however, have many uses that will be beneficial. Nearly all the space crafts that you have witnessed from other worlds, utilize these anti-gravity wave lengths. The anti-gravity force makes them far more maneuverable. The anti-matter gas stabilizes the craft by acting as a weighted keel on a sailboat. It keeps the craft perpendicular to the pull of gravity. It is also used on the outer edges of the space vehicles, to produce a slow spinning motion, which substitutes centrifugal force for internal gravity. The same wave applied to lead or any heavy metal object is used beyond the weightless point of lead, until it turns the lead into anti-matter.

This anti-matter mixed with small portions of matter produces controlled explosions that are the main engines of these spacecrafts. I'm getting a little beyond the question here, said Beenan. Does that explain it enough for you Margaret? Is that elaborate enough, asked Beenan? Thank you, she replied, a little curious about how he knew her name. Than she remembered their super vision and the name tag she had on her shoulder.

Next question; another woman reporter stood up in the back row. I have a question, but it is not on the same subject. Go ahead, said Beenan. How long are you going to stay with us? Beenan paused for a moment, we were planning on leaving tomorrow, but we will return from time to time. Why so soon, she asked? There is so much we can learn from you. Our plans were to leave tomorrow, said Beenan, but we are flexible. If there is strong enough reason to stay, we could stay.

What is it you wish to learn from us? I have a whole list here. She held up a sheet of paper. Read out some of the questions please, asked Beenan? What is it like on Balenn? What is your stand on some of the controversial questions, like hunting, abortion, etc?

We will try to answer each of your questions once. Sometimes the answers will run into each other. Questions asked for the sake of copy, won't be acknowledged either. Check your list against the notes taken by those who have been with us and you will find most of your answers there. I don't wish to stand here and answer repeat questions, even if they are worded differently. Allen could see that Beenan was getting a little upset, but he decided not to do anything just yet. Thank you, replied the reporter, as she sat down.

Are there any more questions? This time, three hands went up. Go ahead, the gentleman in row five. What do you think of our commercial sports? I have seen your sports on television and read a few magazines. Although I must confess I do not see the connection between alcoholic beverages and sports. Alcohol hinders a person's athletic ability yet everyone seems to accept the connection. I would suggest that it is in the best interest of everyone concerned, if this connection between beer and sport was severed. That is another matter though. Paying for energy spent, whether it be the hydro bill, payment for work done or payment for work oriented sports, are all basically the same. Whether or not they are morally right or wrong, is up to the individual. As you create more and more leisure time, through automation, you will need to do something with that leisure. Sports is but one of many ways to pass the time. Participating in sports, keeps the body healthy and active. Watching sports or listening on the radio, only requires the head. The rest of the body does not benefit. It is tough for a career sports person to see himself as doing something worthwhile for society. The transition from a healthy sports minded person to a middle aged or old aged life style, can be traumatic for some and many do not make it. If you see it as entertainment and see your own participation as entertainment, than you are no less than the actor or singer in what you do. I think the bottom line here is, don't get too involved in sports, but don't despise those who do. One of your more popular clichés is applicable here;" All things in moderation". The gentleman in the row ahead of you had a question. Go ahead please.

A heavy set man with receding hairline, in his forties, stood up. We were told not to ask any religious questions during this interview. Can you tell me why? You know the saying about religion and politics, not being good topics of conversation. There is good reason for that. There are so many variations of beliefs in both of these topics, that their discussion is sure to cause controversy. With religion, your beliefs are so varied and different from one to another, that it is almost impossible to discuss, without offending the other. I will say this though, all your religions, both of old and new, do some good for some people. Your God concept is basically right, but not as a male white or black God. We refer to God as "all that is." A controlling gestalt of higher entities in conjunction with all life set the main thesis for existence. This topic of religion is so sophisticated and diversified, that it would take a one week seminar of questions and answers to even begin to sort out the confusion. Although we are leaving in a few days, I would like to one day return for the sole purpose of discussing all aspects of every religion. It must be done in a step by step fashion, going slowly through time, showing changing dogmas and the reasons behind the changes. I would also like to relate to religion on other planets and show how their changes came about, relative to religious changes on earth. That is all I will say on the subject today. Are there any more questions?

A young blonde woman in her late thirties stood up. Would it be possible to take one of us humans to see Balenn for ourselves and if so, could I be the first to go? Beenan paused. He went over and spoke to Beem and Bo. Do you think we could arrange this, asked Beenan? It would take a lot of mental preparation and instruction by us, but we might be able to swing it. We should take a larger group than just one person, don't you think, asked Bo? Should I ask for other volunteers than, asked Beenan. Before you do that, said Bo, maybe we should wait and ask those we already know. They have a better background, with their scientific training than a pack of reporters. One reporter would be okay though. Your way sounds sensible, said Beenan. Beenan went back to the podium. What is your name please Miss? My name is Kelly, she replied. It may take some time, but if you would like to remain after the interview, we will work with you on your request. Thank you, she replied, with delight. I will wait.

The gentleman just in front of you has a question? Yes I do, he replied. I am sure you are aware of the sorry state that the world economy is in. Do you have any suggestions to remedy this? I am glad you asked that. I have a sketch here to demonstrate how it works. As you work out your own financial problems, so can the world problem be solved. What must be done; is an overview of each country's debt. All the information about what and who is owed must be put in a pool. When every country's debts are in full view of everyone, then the juggling of debts can begin. If Chile owes the United States twenty billion and the United States owes Canada twenty billion, then Chile can pay direct to Canada and the United States can pay another, etc. Nearly all of the debts can be cancelled out in this way. It is not important who you owe the money to, but the fact that you acknowledge your debt and your intent to pay it. Countries that are left can agree to a reasonable method of pay back with services or products, assuming they do not have the money. For example, if Argentina still owes Brazil x number of dollars, they can sign an agreement to supply x amount of water or electricity until the debt is settled.

The most important part of this plan is activating the plan and getting it done. The longer everyone waits, the more tension will build. Once this is done, then everyone should agree to a borrowing ceiling for the future or what would be better still, no borrowing at all. If credit is not kept in check, a country could become so much in debt to another richer country that every working person in the poorer country, would actually be working for the richer country. Credit is an idea that cannot be left to run loose. The numbers can become so big, that recovery in the next few decades wouldn't even be imaginable. The only way out for some would be default and refusal to pay. Let the borrower take his losses. If everyone did that, the end result would be the same as my first plan. Everyone would have to default once it started. The easiest way, is to meet as I mentioned before and balance it all out, until everyone returns to zero. This chart shows how the debts cancel each other out.

Everyone tried to copy Randy's sketch on their note pads and some took a picture of it. While I have you looking at the sketch, said Beenan, I also have here a sketch of our planetary system around Balenn. He unveiled a colorful sketch of light and color hues, intermingling with what looked like a hollow sphere. The sphere, called Balenn, was enlarged on a side sketch, to show the breakdown of regions. Tiny laser-like lines of light emanated in all directions from Balenn. The other planets in the system seemed to draw in all these rays, like a vacuum. The background was pale blue. Another side sketch showed a close-up of a city on Balenn. All the buildings seemed to look like glass and they did not have a bottom or foundation. The Balenn people were represented by tiny colored dots.

Again the cameras flashed and some came forward for a close-up. One of the reporters taking a close-up, said; I see you have three more sketches as yet unveiled. What are they all about? After reading and learning about your life style over the past few days, I found we were able to anticipate most of the questions that would be asked. "Those questions that were most likely to be asked"; we took a chance on and produced some visual aides to help explain our reply. I have not yet been asked questions relative to these three sketches, replied Beenan. If someone asks, then I will go into a monologue on these subjects, near the end of the interview. Allen stepped up to the podium. We will take a short break for ten minutes or so, before we resume. There are refreshments on the tables at the back of the room. Help yourselves.

Allen and the Ehesti left the stage and went back to the dining room. This is going much slower than we expected, said Allen. Maybe you should go directly into your monologue, if there are no more questions. The novelty has worn off, said Beem. All they want from us now, is to do some magic and entertain them. I say the heck with it. Let's wrap it up now. What are the three sketches you have left out there Beenan, asked Beem?

One is on USSR relationships, one is on abortion, and the other is on charity and compassion. Sounds like pretty hot stuff, said Beem. I am glad you are the speaker. We do not have to discuss these topics, said Beenan. I just assumed these questions might be asked. They still might, said Allen. Let's be patient for a while and see what happens. He picked up his coffee that Kirby had prepared for him. It was hot. His lips were already a little sore from chapping and the sudden shock of the heat caused him to jerk his arm and spill some of it. Allen laughed at his own reaction. Everyone pretended not to have noticed. Allen was thinking about Beenan's other topics, especially abortion and compassion. They might cause as much of an uproar as if he had discussed religion and politics. He was also concerned about whether or not he should reveal the plan to the Ehesti, that Professor Ingle had discussed earlier. He tossed it over in his mind until his coffee cup was empty.

I guess it's time to resume, said Beenan, are you guys ready? Bo and Beem were munching on some dates. Beenan was thinking about how the meeting was going and also about what Beem had remarked on entertainment and magic. Maybe a little magic wouldn't hurt, he thought, but what should he do? They had seen transposing, so that wouldn't do. He could levitate everyone, but that might frighten them. He could make it rain or snow inside or almost anything. Finally, an idea came to him. He must see what Beem and Bo thought of it.

Beenan went over whispered something to Bo and Beem. Beem laughed out loud. Beenan went back to Allen and said ready when you are Allen. Beenan had a big grin on his face. You guys are up to something, said Allen. Care to tell me what it is all about? Just stick around, Beenan snickered, you'll see. Allen was starting to feel butterflies in his stomach again. He knew how much power these Ehesti had and he was not sure what to expect. All he needed was for someone to get their pride hurt or even worse get physically hurt, and the negative publicity, combined with the fear generated by this publicity, would set this project back 100 years. He had to trust the Ehesti's judgment, rather than his own.

Allen climbed up on the podium and rapped on the wood with his knuckles. Okay, we are ready to resume. Would you kindly take your seats? Take your seats please, he repeated. Take what's left of your coffee and doughnuts to your seats if you wish. Some started to move, but most of them ignored Allen. Allen turned to Beenan. I don't know what it is that they are yakking about over there, but it sure must be interesting. I can't get their attention back to the podium. Don't worry about it, said Beenan, we anticipated this when we came back ourselves, we'll have them back to their seats in a jiffy. Oh no, thought Allen, this is the plan they were snickering about earlier. Allen stepped down from the podium and gestured for Beenan to take his place.

Beenan returned to the podium. No one was in any hurry to return. They moved slowly, but chatting and laughing all the while. Ready when you are, said Beenan, as he made a hand gesture, like he was steering them back to their places with his fingers. A greenish smoke came from his hand and spread out in the form of a cloud over the room. The cloud broke up into as many pieces as there were people. Each piece moved slowly towards a person, while the smoky appearance took the form of a human hand, made out of green smoke. Each hand was about two feet thick and the index finger was protruding, as if pointing. The hands twinkled lightly, as they moved. The floating motion of the smoke like substance, created the impression that the hands were alive and moving. At the very tip of the index finger was a miniature outline of Beenan's smiling face. Some of the reporters were still so engrossed in their conversation, that they didn't even notice the hands. The hands drifted behind each person that was not yet seated and poked them in the back, as if prodding them to return to their seats. Some blew the smoke away or brushed it away with their hands, but the hand would return in about thirty seconds and begin prodding again. The aroma from the smoke was similar to the perfume smells enjoyed when walking through a flower garden.

As each person sat at their respective place the hand disappeared and returned to the cloud above. When everyone was finally seated, the smoke returned to Beenan's hand and disappeared. The whole crowd broke into applause. Many had taken Polaroid pictures of the hands and much to their delight, the hands appeared on the photos. That meant they could show this on television tonight. Now they had something to show their publishers and producers. Up until now, all they had was film of a bunch of people watching a Sasquatch speak. They were hoping that something entertaining would happen and it did. Most of this "ghostly" stuff usually never showed up once the film was developed. The green hands showed up though. Everyone applauded again.

Thank you all, said Beenan smiling. Do any of you have any more questions? How did you do that, asked a reporter, right up front, next to Sarah? We have control over the atomic structure of most matter, said Beenan, remember we are 16,000 of your years old. If you could live that long, think of the powers you could develop. Our ability also includes knowing how to create and control gases and aromas. Bo and Beem are working now on producing a series of pleasant aromas that will travel through­out the room, in the air currents. We are sort of entertaining you with smell instead of light and sound. I hope you all enjoy it. Bo and Beem concentrated for a moment and than put their hands up. Out of their fingers, the same smoke Beenan had emitted, seemed to spew forth, only this time, it only remained visible for a few seconds. Bo and Beem sat back down and relaxed again. At that moment, the flower aroma from Beenan’s earlier demonstration slowly dissipated, to be replaced by the aroma of spearmint. The spearmint aroma brought smiles to many faces.

Okay, any questions now, asked Beenan? Yes, a woman in the third row stood up. I suppose you know of our current controversy over abortion. How do you Ehesti stand on abortion? I was hoping someone would ask that, said Beenan. He uncovered his easel on birth control and abortion. To begin with, said Beenan, both sides in the contro­versy are equally right. It is right, for a woman to have a choice about her body and it is right to protect the fetus. As in most confrontations, both sides are sure that they are right and that everyone else is wrong. I mentioned earlier that all things are right in themselves. It is our conflicting beliefs systems that make them wrong. The underlying conflict here is, not abortion, but taking power away from your God and allowing a mere mortal to make the life-death decision. Again, you find that as you take on more powers yourselves, you must raise your God to an even higher position. The astral part of you that lives on beyond your body's life is also you. Because it is beyond time, it sees the time spent in your body as very small compared to all the time that is. It sees your physical body as insignificant, as you in another time context, would see the life of a spider as insignificant.

The astral portion of you, aids you in your desire to die, brought on by depression, etc. Because you can't fool your astral self, it is aware of your feelings and helps convert your depression into the death you desire. In that sense then, all death is suicide. The death of an unborn child is no less controlled by the astral body of the unborn child than, is yours and mine. There are no surprises to the astral self. This does not solve the problem though. There is a way out however. Birth control should become more widely available to anyone on demand at any drug store. Every child should be issued birth control devices when they are eleven years old and instructed in their use. Once these protective devices and methods are available everywhere and even free in some cases, then chances of accidental birth will drop drastically. When this drop begins to occur in the number of accidental births, then every child will be a wanted child. No one would ever consider aborting a wanted child, except for cases of severe medical reasons. Then you can make it illegal to abort and the majority of the populace will be with you. Step one is absolutely necessary to make step two work, as shown here on this sketch. The Republic of China is now making this method work quite well. It will work for you too. Once you take away the reasons to abort, the problem is solved. Long term birth control discoveries, are also being worked on. These will take the form of one pill or one injection that will last up to six months. There was a pause.

A short, plump man, in the middle row stood up. Speaking of the Republic of China and us North Americans, which method of government is best and why? Beenan flipped out his next sketch. Cameras flashed. Once the problem of arms control is solved, said Beenan, you will realize that other differences you share can also be resolved. Both forms of Government have advantages. The Democratic ways allow ambitious and wealthy people to surge ahead of the rest and enjoy the expensive luxuries of life, while the Communist method brings everyone's life style up slowly at the same rate. The end result is the same. If both systems can produce happy people, than there is good in both systems. The system you choose is usually a product of your upbringing and peer pressure, rather than a logical decision, based on all the information about both forms of Government. Beenan pointed to the graph showing the positive aspects of each government. The two systems produce enough rivalry, to speed up technology. In attempting to be first with a discovery, you greatly accelerate the progress of mankind. When the rivalry stops, way in the future, the fierce competition will stop also and mankind will make another turn on its path to the future.

As sure as the international language of "Esperanto" is alive, there is also being formed by the thinkers, a method of government that combines the best parts of each form of government, as well as taking into consideration the best from tribal life in the third world and disciplined life in the various religions. Look closely at what they have to offer when it is finally ready. Therein lies a life style that will end the cause of all wars, and bring the whole world together. Esperanto is the start of this union. Esperanto is not just in the future. It is alive and well now. It is being taught in many universities around the world. Once the whole planet speaks the same language, there will be no more suspicions and misinterpretations that are often the cause of many conflicts. The toughest part will be convincing "oneself" to make the necessary changes. This could be a lengthy process. There is a good deal of self-discipline necessary to learn a new language. Many will not learn for that reason. When Esperanto becomes compulsory learning all around the world and in all the schools; than we will see a dream come true. Listen to your youth and not the old war mongers, who talk paranoia and violence.

Any more questions on that, asked Beenan, while the aroma of chocolate took over from the spearmint. The two mixed at first and the spearmint slowly subsided. This flavor also brought smiles to most. Some deliberately moved to the rear, to avoid the smell. It was getting close to dinner time and there was the aroma of roast beef, competing with the chocolate in the back of the room.

Beem stopped the chocolate smell and replaced it with fresh air. Everyone went back to their chairs. Are there any more questions, asked Beenan? Beenan looked around the audience for a raised hand. He asked the question again, only louder. No one raised their hand. Beenan was thinking about doing his monologue on compassion, but it was getting late, so he signaled to Allen to come over and close the meeting. Allen did just that and as they were filing out, Beem did one more smell. He did the smell of fresh horse manure, just for a laugh. He did not push it, but there was enough of it to make Allen break up with laughter. What a finale, said Allen. Now I see what you were whispering about earlier. That's a rude trick, yelled one of the reporters, as he was leaving, holding his nose. There is nothing funny about it either, said the woman in the blue dress, sternly. Kelly had spent a lot of time around animals in her youth, so the smell didn't bother her at all. Allen had tears in his eyes by now, from so much laughter. He had to get out of there, to get his composure back. Beem returned the air to its normal fresh air smell. He made a quick exit himself, into the dining room.

Everyone left except Kelly. Allen asked her to stay for supper, because it was that time anyway. She accepted. Allen introduced her to Sarah and Marie, with whom she would dine and spend the next few hours. I heard about you letting yourself be transposed, said Kelly. Weren't you scared? I was scared at first, said Sarah, but only for a moment. Do you think we will be going to Balenn that way? Will you be coming along? Boy, you sure are full of questions, replied Sarah. I'm not sure just what is planned for the trip to Balenn, but if they will let me, I will go for sure. I would suspect they would want someone more scientifically qualified though, someone like Allen or one of the other professors. I assume they will want at least one person from the media to go along. That is probably you. It sounds like it might be an exciting adventure, but I'm not going to get pushy about it. If they want me along, they'll ask. Okay, good, said Kelly. I will ask for you if you like? I can do my own asking, said Sarah, but right now let's go into the dining room. I think Kirby wants to impress us with his culinary expertise.
