”“Hmmmmm,” Don mused, and then got his com unit.“Hey, Fred, I have an idea and wonder if it’s feasible,” Don said, evidently talking to Fr...d from his work.“Would it be possible to mount a holographic projector on the tender sled? And if so, could you mount a high-pressure nozzle beneath the bow of the grav sled?” Don asked.“Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but it’s for an idea Jim had. I’ll explain it in more detail the next time I see you,” he promised.I was surprised when next he commed Dorothy. Girl did her thing on the treadmill. I must have been lost in thought for several minutes thinking that no one noticed when suddenly she stopped the machine and turned around.“Are you looking at me?” she asked coyly.I was stunned into complete silence as my mind fumbled for something to say.“Uh, yes.” I managed as best I could.“Well, then come over here and take a closer look,” she said.Far be it from me to refuse an order like that, so I got up and joined her on the treadmill. She threw her. I'll talk to her, make sure she doesn'thave anything too crazy planned, if it's too crazy I'll take back over.Don't worry about it," Cal said."Regrettably Cal. I am very worried about this," Marko said."Get over it," Cal said before turning away and heading toward theschool.Later that day Cal met with Denise and gave her the broad strokes of thesituation. No specifics about the blackmail material, just that he hadsomething on Marko and wanted him to pay but nothing too crazy. Heexplained that. Suddenly I'm feeling confused. All this time I've been thinking about the course and I've no real idea what is actually going to be involved. I look back over my shoulder as I follow Jo along the corridor. Judy is working hard. She looks up again as we reach the corner. I can't tell if she's unhappy about what she's doing or if she's enjoying it. Maybe she doesn't even know herself. I'm in two minds about most of what's happened so far.Jo takes me to see the genial and enthusiastic black.
