And so it happens, the computer set up comes with a comprehensive, though compact, communications suite. So I could listen to speeches, enunciations, and/or oratorios in living color. And it sounded as if they were right there in the cubicle speaking to me.

The Exchange Commision seems to be thanking everybody, the Exchange Commission, the Cylons for their cooperation, the Evacuees. Just about everybody, save the pirates, who had made all of this possible in the first place.

And th speakers for bothparties continue on with lenghy speeches, enunciations, and oratorios. The leadership want their role in this event to be well-recorded.

And the Exchange commission reads a statement, purported to be from the Cylons claiming to thank the Exchange commission for working with themj to help bring about this Exchange. About how building trust between the species is needed for the cease-fire to lcontinue.Perhaps other future steps should be considered.

I can not help but speculate that perhaps the Cylons are somewhat justified in disliking us. At times, we can be a very long-winded and pompous species.

"And for the next two centons I wait. And listen to the high officials of the Exchange Commission and our governemt give speeches, enunciations and oratoriaos praising the Cylon heroism, this being a first step that could lead to open relations and perhaps peace. Of how other species could learn from ours and the Cylons good example.

I notice that the temperature is signifigantly higher. Whether it is from theplanetary temperature, or we being out in the middle of an unsecured zone, I still don't know.

I get dug in. The shuttle lands with a jolt and only one bounce. From whaqt I understand that is a pretty smooth landing.

After what seems forever, the intercom crackles on and it is Monica, again, "Scurry, you can dig your dingers back into the armrest now, we are preparing to land."

For sometime, I try to tangle myself up better in the jump-couch. I also think about how comforting my boring job back home sounds just now.
