<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Pardon me?” The voice at the door to Allison
Moreland’s lab came from
a tall young woman with raven- black hair, conservatively
dressed in gray vest
and trousers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Yes?” Moreland answered.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Moreland was short, solidly built, her sparkling blue
eyes being flanked
above by dark hair pulled into ponytail, and below by a long
white lab coat that
yielded to blue jeans and sneakers before reaching the floor.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“May I help you?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Sorry to bother you, but I’m trying to find Professor
Lafayette’s
office, and the map says here.” The speaker waved an RTI map.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“She’s in class. She should be out of teaching in a
bit,” Alison
answered.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“The office
is down the hall.
The map is wrong. Oh, I’m Allison Moreland, the senior
post-doc.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Is there
something that I can help you with?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“I’m Krystal North,” the woman in the door answered.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Yes, that Krystal North.
I need to talk to
her about something last night.” Moreland smiled politely.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Krystal North not in garb
looked very little
like the same woman dressed as a combat persona.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Professor Wells and daughter?” Allison asked.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Professor Lafayette told
me about it, in
case anyone showed up looking for her, not that it wasn’t in
the morning Boston
Post.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“The Post?” Krystal asked, sounding a bit crestfallen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“With pictures,” Allison answered.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“Of you and your Grandmaster friends and Speaker Ming
outside their home.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The
snow if not the wind had briefly died
down, and one of the neighbors had come back to Boston to
check on his house. He
took some photos as you left. We need to wait for Morgana; I’m
sure she didn’t
tell me everything. Would you like some tea?<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Fresh-brewed, in the group office, of course, not in
the lab.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“That would be very kind of you.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>I’ve been running so much I missed breakfast,” Krystal
answered. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“There are scones,” Allison answered.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“I baked them myself, packed with raisins and hazelnut
flour, and
caramel icing.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I try
to keep things on
hand, just in case we have another, ummh, distinguished
visitor.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Distinguished visitor? Me?” Krystal asked.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“I’m just a civil
servant.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“You.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Distinguished.
Also, this
Department has six Nobel Laureates, fourteen members of the
National Academy, a
Fields Medalist that Course 18 keeps trying to steal from us,
not to mention on
occasion a Lord of Eternity.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>So
I keep
refreshments available, except when Dr. Ashton has baked his
chocolate
brownies. Well, there is a little baked brownie under the
chocolate orange
mocha icing,” Allison said, “so they are brownies.” <span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>She led Krystal down the
corridor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">The group office had comfortable chairs, a large
central table, desks
facing the sweeping windows, a massive video screen covering
most of one wall,
and at the far end of the room a refrigerator, microwave,
coffee and tea
service, and what was clearly a covered tray piled high with
scones. Standing
with back to the doorway was Morgana Lafayette, making final
adjustments to the
coffee brewer. “Allison, Krystal, good morning. I got out of
class early,” she
announced, not turning around to see who was behind her, <span
class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:George"
datetime="2016-12-24T23:08"><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></del></span>“and
I’m just loading up the
Jamaica Blue Mountain, fresh-ground. But it’s good to see you,
Krystal, even if
I have to disengage my hands from the machinery before I can <span
class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:George"
datetime="2016-12-24T23:08"></del></span><span
class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:George"
datetime="2016-12-24T23:08">face you</ins></span>
to say hello. Just a second.” She extracted herself from the
brewing system and
turned to her guests. “Krystal, it really is good to see you
under conditions
where nothing unpleasant is likely to happen. I see despite
the cover of
blizzard we managed to get ourselves in the newspaper.
Fortunately, being
someone’s champion is a matter of public record, so there
won’t be a lot of
Nosy Parkers asking questions about who I am. Well, someone
might wonder why I
was Janie’s champion, but there’s a good cover story that is
even true.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Blue Mountain?” Allison asked. “Isn’t that a tad
expensive?” Like $200
a pound? she thought.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“I wouldn’t make a habit of it,” Morgana said, “but I
did notice Krystal
arriving at the Institution teleport stages and figured I
should have things
ready for an honored friend and guest. Allison, I hate to do
this, but the
shared project group meeting is in five minutes in 26-450 and
you are the only
person other than me who actually understands what we are
about to do. As I
have the guest, I get to ask you to run the meeting. I believe
this was the
occasion on which were going to tell everyone what we are
actually doing, since
as far as I can tell none of them have quite figured it out.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Yes, Ma’am,” Allison bowed her way out of the office.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“A project so secret that the people working on it
don’t know what it
is?” Krystal asked. “That sounds really clever. What could it
be? Not that I’m
prying if it’s a real secret.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
