hard at the stripe around the boxy
device that allowed a zerpy of Wilburps’s type to view and record
everything around it. It could take in whatever seemed of
importance in any direction, three-sixty on the horizontal plane
with additional detectors on the bottom and especially the upper
surfaces to let it keep tabs on what was there. Ormelexian
technology included more than a few wonders, like zerpies that
could record in all directions and then process the input to
produce fine-focused images at any distance from it up to an earth
half city block away, all without moving parts.
Nerber kept his face close to the zerpy and
muttered to himself knowing that when he was so close his mouth
could not be seen by the visual system and since he was actually
muttering nonsense sounds even the zerpy’s acute auditory system
could not pick up signals it could translate into meaningful sounds
to report to the producers.
“The signal has cleared and you are told to
step back so you can be understood or you are useless for the
program,” Wilburps said.
“That must have been interference with our
signals due to factors in the planet’s atmosphere or the
inhabitant’s technologies that the producers did not anticipate.
Surely it will be a learning opportunity for them. You appear to be
working okey-my-dokey now.”
“Is there something you want to confide to
me, Nerber?”
“I am on an adventure of discovery but there
is some stuff I came with anticipation for. Be ready, be ahead, be
the winner.”
“Pithy but obscure. Request you put the
pieces in a row to make them all show your meaning with no secret
stuff.”
“Secrets make for more
I-must-see-each-episode-to-know-what-will-happen show material.
Every group guessing is good Pacification By Distraction With
Entertainment.”
“But those in charge should know all the
bitsy pieces of what is being planned and done.”
“Noted with precision, Wilburps. So all with
their eyes open can see that reversing of the things makes the
picture happen too.”
Chapter 07
Eighteen-inch wide Wilburps sitting firmly on
the six-inch wide top of the decorative side railing of the gazebo
would have seemed noteworthy but perhaps risky to most people. The
zerpy hovering an inch above that board would have been a major
point of interest but there were no Earth inhabitants there to see
it.
“At home no one thinks a zerpy hovering is
strange. But as they say on what we have now confirmed they call
Earth, when in romance, do as the romancers do. At least your
talk-talk gets better as we get update transmissions.”
“This should be okey-your-dokey. If local
beings look upon us they will see you as resting on that
barrier.”
“You are having doubting thinking about what,
Nerber?”
“After these first encounters I am
worry-warting that things are so strange here. There is the need to
be first to complete the challenges to win but running fast into
the spinning thing what they call a fan seems not to be clever. So
much is not what I was told it should be like here.”
“I am required to correct your just said
statement. You were told what it might be like here. Nothing
was for surely certain.”
“Understood. The bottom-most lineage though
is that we are here to provide Pacification By Distraction With
Entertainment for the masses and there may be more interesting ways
to do that than the list of challenges. Those were selected by
Ormelexians with no true experience of what it is like here, only
what has already been done on shows at home. I am here so I can
explore and maybe find more interesting things even if they slow me
in completing the list of official challenges.”
“Be remembering that you are mainly a tool of
the producers who sold the show because of what they promised would
happen. They can transport us back at any time if they decide you
are not fulfilling their wants or needs.”
“So you are sending them my every word
