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!" 50 .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.Emu 51 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 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. 67 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Janitor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 68 69 yes, more terminal jocketes making waves about terminal jockies making waves 70 about spies.

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. 111 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 112 113 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 114 Oh, rapture!

The Doctor ????? 163 ^^^ ^^^^^^ 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.... 207 ++++++++++++++++ Milchar ++++++++++++++++++++++++ July 21, 1985 +++++++++++++++ 208 Fido-person: My 'xmodem' is a BASIC/ml hybrid.

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. 376 .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.Emu 377 KOSTA 378 fellows fellows fellows fellows fellows fellows fellows fellows fellows 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. 413 fellows fellows fellows fellows fellows fellows fellows fellows fellows 414 415 SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD 416 SAD INTERNAL MEMO FM DUNDERSON TO FIELD AGENTS RE THE FALCON 417 PLEASE PROCEED TO LOCATION DESCRIBED IN SECURITY PACKET.

If you are interested, 509 can trade you *complete* B protocol specs for Ymodem specs... 510 Chuck has the Ymodem stuff, but it's squeezed.

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. 563 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: TOTAL NUMBER OF LINES = 563
