Exploding Sun Page #3

ah, I was pretty shocked.

Especiallysince I didn't know that my

wife had entered me in the lottery.

But what she didn't know

is that I entered her too. Oh.

Ok. I'll see you later?

Don't you know never

to say that to a girl?

See you later sounds like a shut down.

Like, I'll see you never.

Ya, I'm sorry.

Ok, ok.

I'll call you sometime.

I will see you soon.

Dr. Bakus.

Jeff

How bout a few words with

you and Commander Wincroft?

I'm sorry. I'm busy.

The hardest part I think is leaving

my wife in Afghanistan.

We hope that my being here today

will help draw attention to the needs

of the refugees that we're helping.

Do you have any concerns about

last night's events in Sydney?

Oh none at all.

And besides, I know the

Roebling Clipper inside out.

If there's any problem,

I know where to kick it to fix it.

So you have no concerns even

though this launch is happening

during a spike in solar activity?

Oh. None what so ever.

And besides, if there

was anything working wrong

we'd have scrubbed the mission.

How bout that son of a b*tch asking

about the spike in solar activity?

It's a reasonable question.

What? Are you saying that we're at risk?

No, I'm saying it's

a reasonable question, Peter.

It's space travel. There's always risks.

Craig. Is there any solid

data that we're in danger?

No.

Ok, would you get on the flight?

You know I would.

Well, that's good enough for me.

We've been following Mr. Roebling's

successes for some time now,

and personally I'm thrilled

that Peter invited me to come.

My husband and I

have absolute confidence that

this will be a safe

and exciting journey.

Dr. Bakus. Excuse me Dr Bakus,

I'm Reg Walker, Reggie,

Reginald if you'd like. Ha.

Hi Reginald.

I'm a communications technician

and we met a couple of weeks ago.

Dr. Bakus.

I need you to take a look at this.

Anyways I'm going to be working

intergrated communications today.

Great.

I'd just like to say Dr. Bakus,

it's a real honor to be serving

with you on this mission.

Thanks. You're still here.

Um, well look,

I'm a doctoral student at the Polytech

and I was wondering if you'd consider

looking over my uh, my thesis?

Reggie, it's a big day

for both of us here today.

I need you to focus in. Ok?

Absolutely.

Abso, no I'm focussed.

Uh, uh, no I did not, not today.

Ha ha, I'm just thinking

sometime in the near future.

Um, you know what,

why don't you give me

your ah cell phone number?

I can text you my contact info. Huh?

I don't have a cell phone.

That's a brilliant life choice.

Ya. You know what?

I'm going to give you

my cell phone number,

and you can just call me

whenever you'd like. How bout that?

You're not at your work station.
