It has been quite the few days, hasn't it been, Vatheon? That conversation appearing on the network --just who had posted that, anyway?-- the experiment and then the collapse of the bubble and the evacuation. It certainly kept everybody's hands quite busy and full. But now that things are looking at little more calm, with far fewer trips needed to ferry things from down in the bubble up to the island, Station Master makes his move, abandoning his post to seek out people. Who? Well, just about anyone. He seems to avoid groups, instead seeking out people while they are alone, whether wrapped up in some activity, or moving from on place to the other. His purpose? Unclear for now, but if you are a foreigner and you are on the island, you may very well find yourself with a sudden Station Master at your side.

How will you respond?

[Finding Washu was rather simple. After all, how many petite red-haired scientists would be sitting on a floating pillow and typing away at a holographic computer?

Not many, if any other than her. Everything that appears to scroll up her screen seems to be some sort of equation mixed with charts and graphs. It doesn't make much sense to anyone that isn't Washu.

And by the looks of it, she isn't paying attention to her surroundings. Well, until he gets a little closer and she pauses in her typing.]

I'm surprised to see you wandering around. Is this a business visit, or something else.

I'm an old man. Taking frequent walks is good for my health.

[He smiles, tapping his hat for a moment. She may be small, but she is still a lady, and ladies should be treated with respect.]

I was wondering if I could have a few moments of your time.

I suppose it is. I wouldn't know being so young and all~.

[She smiles at him and taps a few keys on her computer before turning to face him.]

Since you've gone through all the trouble to approach me, I think I can give you a few moments.

Thank you kindly.

What I would like to talk to you about is the barrier below. It is in a rather sorry state at the moment, isn't it?

That would be putting it nicely. What I would like to know is why the coral was loosing enough power to allow the failure.

You wouldn't happen to have the answer for me, would you~?

I may have a good theory regarding that. However I'm afraid I cannot share it with you. Or at least, not right now.

Oh? And exactly when can you share your theory?

This coming friday evening. Ten o'clock. I hope you do not mind waiting until then.

[Washu looks like she's considering his proposed meeting time for several long minutes before speaking.]

Well, as long as it's not some sort of trap, I think I can humor you. But, I expect answers when I get there.

You wouldn't want to disappoint a cute little girl like me, would you?

I believe it may very well break my heart. I'm glad that I can count you amongst the attending. May I make one final request?

That depends, what's the request?

Could you please leave the communicator you have been given at home? I fear they are using them to monitor you, and I do not wish this meeting to be monitored.

Hm.. I think I can manage that.

Then I look forward to seeing you, this friday at ten.
