Thanks
to Malady for his help editing and for ideas.
I’d
also like to apologize in advance for the bending of physical laws in
the following chapter. I am aware of MOND, for those of you who are
as well, but I suppose I don't like the theory, so I decided to
ignore it in this book. Author’s prerogative, I guess. In my
defense, I’ve been watching some lectures from the Royal Institute
lately, and maybe it’s gotten me thinking a bit more – sideways?
I
have been enjoying some documentaries on gravity also. They were
heavy.
To Return Home
2.4
John
and Marc got busy maneuvering the ship to a position where we were in
line to reconnect with the command center and downstairs section. I
wasn't sure I liked the idea, but it seemed to be the only choice,
under the circumstances.
Mama
was monitoring Amos’ memories while our ship accelerated slightly
and drew alongside. At the same time, Daddy was monitoring her
very
closely, and I think he was ready to pull the plug if anything should
go awry. So was I.
“What's
happening, Bernie?” Daddy asked.
“Nothing,
Vern. All I see happening is a celebration. Some type of praise for
the ‘Emperor.’”
