Ice Twisters Page #2

---

so we raced over as soon as we could.

Storm radars.

Working on anything related?

No.

Pull this leg

it'll play Swanee River.

What do you want me to say, Charlie?

You know we can't talk.

Look, Frank.

We just got on the scene.

We don't know anything

for sure yet, but...

Relax, Damon... Let's not jump

to any half baked conclusions...

there's plenty of time

to figure out what happened.

The seraphs have

a 48 hour cycle...

the next 24 hours

are vital, you know that.

You made it rain... Damon,

let's not lose sight of that.

Yes, sir.

And Damon,

when you do figure it out,

make sure it wasn't us.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I understand.

I'm just curious why

the federal science foundation...

is here in the middle of nowhere,

when this happens.

Even I can't conjure up

that kinda buisness.

We've been stationed here

for three years, you know that.

- Doing what?

- Mostly robotics.

Robotics.

Come on, Jo.

Sorry about the interruption.

Damon Jarwell,

- Ah...

- I'm a fan of your books,

crazy as that may be.

Well, it's fiction, Damon,

it's supposed to be crazy.

Kind of like a grown woman

in trench coat...

sifting through puddle of water

with a test tube.

Hm. Don't tell me.

Earthworm boxin'.

Latest experiment is with

mechanical earthworms.

Or, uh... maybe it's drainage

or maybe it just had someting to do...

with the freak storm

that just tore through this town.

We want to, uh, cut out, I guess,

we got a lotta work to do.

Of course, uh...

I'm sure you both do.

So I take it, our dinner plans

are off for tonight?

Yeah. Sorry, Charlie.

Rain check?

No pun intended.

I have a TV interview

tonight anyway.

Can't wait to tell 'em, about all the

fun stuff the FSF is doing out here.

You know, earthworm robotics,

all that kinda stuff.

Hey, what's Frank's last name?

I'd love a quote.

Don't do this, Charlie.

I just can't seem

to help myself.

What do you want?

I wanna know

what you're doing.

That's outta the question.

Oh, come on, Damon,

that'd be fun.

No, this conversation

is over.

I'm no genius but, uh...

you come here checking puddles...

for residual trace elements.

I bet if I did my own sampling

I could find some heavy oxygen...

maybe some elevated

nitrogen levels...

or maybe I'll just find

some anti depressants.

Trying to make everybody feel good

about the economy these days, are we?

Be careful. You're smacking

a hornet's nest on this one.

That is a terrible analogy.

It's the truth.

Is it?

People died here.

This isn't going away.

I'll make sure of that.

Just... excuse us

for a second.

Look, Damon. I know Charlie.

He's a dog with a bone.

I'll bury him and that bone if I have to.
