Re: Within the Asteroid
In reply to Billy (msg # 776):
Once he realised what Billy said, Dr. Gilenkaar burst into laughter. "No, you simpleton, they were wondering if WE were the cannibals! Ha ha ha!
"Oh, too funny. You are a card, my friend, a real delight!" He chuckled. "Cannibals...ha! My lords, that is priceless. I never took their question at anything other than face value, although I can see how you and your friend were fooled.
"I think they wondered why we were dragging that poor sod around. Something I wondered about myself. But I'll check."
There was a short exchange of dialogue with the headman. "No. No cannibalism. I told him I don't know why we have the prisoner."
