Stacy gave Paula another hug -- nearly knocking her PC off the desk in the
process. "Oh, Paula! I don't care what the aliens think about it,
I wouldn't dream of leaving you out of it this time!" "I should hope not," replied Paula in mock annoyance, "after all the worry you've put me through!" They simply grinned at each other for a moment, and then Stacy said, "So, all right, then, what's your plan for getting me onto that ship?" "Well," said Paula thoughtfully, "we'll want to get you on and everybody else off, so that you can take off, right?" When Stacy nodded, she continued, "OK. Here's what we'll do. I can pass you off as my assistant. Like I said, security's a lot more lax now than it was, and if I vouch for you I doubt anybody will even bother to check." "OK, but how do we get everybody else off?" "We don't. We just wait for the usual 12:00 lunch break." Paula's grin grew wider. "After all, nobody's allowed to eat in the saucer. Might drip ketchup on the controls or something..." "Paula, you're a genius!" "I know. Isn't that why you contacted me in the first place? Come on: you can sleep in my tent tonight, and I'll introduce you around as my 'assistant' in the morning. Come noon, we'll be spaceward bound!"
