Episode 0068 - The Parallels: Joual, Kina, Leila, Scotty, Wendy, ~ 05 ``Joual: Zenden. We are happy to accommodate your requirements, but it is an unusual request as it is initially a specialist field of expertise. Naturally, we do teach other languages, but we have very little information on the Earth, although I am making enquires. This will mean that we will have to allocate someone as an additional task or hire someone new, and would not be within our normal budget. ``Wendy: It would appear from the in-depth way that you are looking at the problem is, that someone from another planet with expertise in this field, would have to be found! ``Joual: Possibly. ``Leila: Why can your Cassiopeian language master not cope with resolving any interpretations? ``Joual: Basically, he does not have the time to get involved with such a big project. ``Scotty: Could we not train someone up to do the job? ``Joual: Possible, but we are talking months. – [Confab] - ``Wendy: Okay, we have enough to consider, and we will write up a report. We thank you for your time. Zimo. ``Joual: Zimo. [In Hopper-buggy in transit to Trulli ~ 3] ``Leila: Let’s get home, because that was a waste of time! ``Scotty: Who does he think he is? ``Wendy: I think he was expecting the Oligarchy to finance a huge package at our expense. ``Leila: I thought we only had those problems on Earth! ``Scotty: It is done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. ``Leila: Thank you Scotty. ``Wendy: I am not accepting that under any condition. ``Leila: Agreed. ``Scotty: Agreed. {Wendy’s Trullo ~ 3} – [Quant Message Received] ``Wendy: I will see to the dinner, and can you please read the mails, Leila? [Pop, Pop, Pop] ``Leila: It is from the Publishers and Kina, Subject - Translation. Dear Wendy, I would like to help with your project and we do have imputer’s here, for our in-house publishing. Please respond so we can arrange a mutually convenient time. Regards, Kina. ``Wendy: I have had a casserole cooking, so it should be ready for eating! Are you staying? ``Scotty: Zaa, for this, sure, it will make a nice change. ``Wendy: All I have to do now is to dish it up. ``Scotty: That does smell good. --- ``Leila: Yum, yum! Food.--- I usually do the washing up, although I prefer doing it by hand, so they have a proper wash, as I think those dishwashers are a waste of time. ``Scotty: Paper plates would be better. ``Leila: Actually I do use them sometimes. ``Wendy: Well Leila, the tea towel is dry! --- ``Leila: You have 1 private and 1business mail message, still to answer. ``Wendy: Tell them this afternoon, if Dad is free. ``Scotty: Confirmed. ``Wendy: Okay I will send a message back saying ”We are available this afternoon, say at 15th time. Please confirm. ``Leila: At least there is not much washing up to do either. ``Wendy: I think Scotty should learn how to do it! ``Scotty: Cheeky. --- ``Leila: Blimey that was quick! A reply message from Kina, it is confirmed. See you then. Regards, Kina. [Zimo’s]. {Publishing Group + Wendy + Scotty + Leila ~ 4} ``Kina: Do come through, and it is nice to meet you all. So you are Leila, Wendy and Scotty? Can I see this lexicon language book of yours please? ``Scotty: Sure. ``Kina: Quite a big job! --- At a guess, I would say it would take two months work to do it. ``Wendy: That initially is fine. ``Leila: What about lose ends and amendments? ``Kina: That will probably take another month. ``Leila: Costs? ``Kina: I would suggest a flat hourly rate of ¢10 per 1st time period. ``Scotty: How soon could you get started? ``Kina: Almost straight away. ``Leila: A quick calculation is ¢42,000 for three months work! ``Kina: That sounds about right. ``Wendy: Zarfs. We have enough to get on with, and we will have to get approval, but this is a feasible option. ``Kina: Excellent, and I will be happy to take it on. Zimo. ``Kina: Zimo. < Quant = Intranet or Internet> < Previous Page 67 Auriga [16 = 072 <089> 00 = 016] 02.2.1 Wet Next Page 69 > |
