After Dr. Solace had dropped her bombshell, and delivered the invitation 
to her family’s estate, Teller got serious.


He pulled up a list of equipment and began to order it into different 
field cases.  Showing the PADD to Penn, he smiled.


“Gell-Mann and Finnegans Wake.”


Penn smiled, “Oh that is for sure.”

The hum of the transporter faded away as the two scientists appeared 
before the main door of the “Shadow Pines” estate.  Near them were the 6 
hardside cases of luggage that Teller had packed, containing various 
pieces of equipment he felt he needed.  As usual, Penn had packed more 
sensibly.


Ringing the chime, the two waited a few moments before an impeccably 
dressed man opened the door.


Benson, the Butler, was awaiting for guest.  He opened the door to see 
the two guests at the door seem well prepared for a vacation.  “Welcome, 
you must be Mr. Penn and Mr. Teller.  Please do come on.”


Penn looked at the butler with a serious expression and said, “That’s 
Doctor Penn and Doctor Teller.”


Benson then snapped his fingers and a couple of staff came to the door.  
“My apologies, Quinna did say that all professional ranks and 
salutations were not allowed.  Just following her orders, but 
certainly,”  Benson turnd to the staff, “Take Dr. Penn and Dr. Teller, 
stuff,”  he said, giving the boxes an evil once over. “To their 
accommodations.”  He turned back to the guests. “I will inform Quinna of 
the change in her orders.  So if you will please…Take the road less 
traveled.”  He motioned.  Benson started to head outdoors to the pool area.


Penn stood there, his mouth moving and no sound escaping and watching 
between the butler walking away and his bags moving the opposite 
direction.  He raced to catch up to Teller who did not catch the 
interaction at all.


“Excuse me,”  Benson started, “Doctors”  He made sure that he over 
emphanised the word doctors, “But Miss Quinna wishes to see you both 
immediately. “


“The dwarves to the mine,”  Teller said to Penn, “The beast at Tanagra.  
Kira at Bashi.  Galileo watching the cat.” Turning to Benson, “Sokath, 
his eyes open.”


Benson showed them to the pool.  “Ms. Quinna is over in the far end.  I 
need to attend to more guests.”  Benson then walked away.  In the far 
Lounger was indeed Quinna but Quinna was also asleep.


Penn looked at Teller and smiled, “Goldilocks in the bear’s bed.”


Quinna stirred a bit, “Bear fur by the fireplace.”  Quinna stretched and 
sat up.  “Pleased you are here.  You two work too hard.”


“Ferris Bueller in Chicago,” Penn said to Teller. Then he turned to 
Quinna, “If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.”


Teller nodded, “Mark Twain on the Mississippi.”

Teller whistled at the guest house they had been put up in.  Work could 
wait, of course, and he grabbed one of the containers and activated the 
antigrav unit.  “Buffet and cheeseburgers,” he said as he headed to the 
spot of beach nearby.


Opening the container, he took out two beach chairs.  He placed a table 
between them with two glasses and a pitcher which was quickly filled 
with a blue colored liquid.  The Tamarian sat back in the chair and 
watched as the staff of the house began to build and light a fire.


Penn removed his jacket to show his blue Hawaiian shirt. It was a bit 
cool but he didn’t mind. Then he sat in his chair and lifted his drink.


“George Patton to Mikhail Katukov,” Penn said and took a long drink.
