 ‘Well, yes. Err… Thank you, Seejee. Very illuminating. It seems as if the situation could be worse. Could be better as well, of course. But could definitely be worse. A lot worse. Depends what we make of it, doesn’t it. A wealth of possibilities… I heard that! Don’t deny it! I heard you say ‘trite’. I will not accept such disrespectful behaviour. The Duelling Ground tomorrow when the Second Sun rises!’

‘Where was I?
Ah, yes. Possibilities. Maybe we should hear what our scientists and researchers have to say. Seeessdublyou, could you please give us a short overview?’

The Chief Science Wallah rises to address the council. He strokes his speckled, slightly soiled and very much moth-eaten beard, clears his throat and nods happily.

‘My pleasure, Ayyeeh!
I’m glad to say that after the unfortunate accident…’

‘No! I will not countenance the use of that expression in my presence! A spade is a spade is a spade! No use calling it a rose! If you can’t keep that in mind, I’ll ask one of the younger Wallahs to report in your stead.’

‘Spades? What on homeworld have spades got to do with it?’

‘Ah, shut up an get on with it!’

After the general turmoil has settled somewhat, Seeessdublyou raises his hands in a conciliatory gesture:

‘Please accept my apologies, Ayyeeh. To get back to matters at hand: Most of the laboratories were destroyed. Those which are still intact are seriously understaffed. We will have to make difficult choices when it comes to research. Results will not be available as fast as they were in the past. As a matter of fact, they will take at least twice as long. And since the cooperation between the R&D departments and the production facilities has also been affected, it will take longer than usual to turn scientific progress into affordable technical products.
If we look at the different fields of research, we find that the experienced scientists who used to be in charge of the major fields have all perished in… err… well… they perished.’

He wipes little beads of sweat from his brow.

‘Where was I?
Ah, yes.
Progress in the fields of motor building, structural elements and armaments will be hampered by the lack of experienced personnel. We would be lucky if even one or two of those fields advance at a halfway normal pace. In addition, we seem to have lost Iffee, who was responsible for those marvellous little engines that used such incredible small amounts of fuel. d### shame! They are going to rob us blind at the interstellar filling stations.
As to the minor fields: I’m glad to say that research into matters biological, energetical and electrical might actually proceed in a timely fashion. Depending on the amount of resources we devote to them, obviously. But we do have some very old, very savvy, very respected scholars working in those fields.
I heard that! I will not be called a doddering old fool by someone 600 years my junior!
Yes, quite right. The Duelling Ground. Whenever you chose.’
