Truth Can Be Stranger Than Fiction

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 6748

"You don't believe me, do you?" Stacy said. It was more a statement than a question. "Well, it's a remarkable story. It could come out of one of the SF stories that are my favourite reading. On the other hand, I can't think of any reason why you'd make up such a strange story if it wasn't true. Unless you intend to ask me for a loan on the strength of your 371,000 dollars. In which case, you've chosen the wrong mark, as I haven't had any royalties yet and only have a few hundred in the bank. Anyway that wouldn't really make sense, for you were reading my book with no idea that you would run into its author. It's not as though I eat here regularly. I just came in today on a whim."

It sounded to Stacy as though Betty might be talking herself into believing her story. Finally Betty said: "As you're planning on going out to the VLA tomorrow:

  1. "I suppose I could go with you... I don't think I can get you into the control room on short notice, but I could show you around the public areas..."
  2. "Be sure to buy yourself a broad-brimmed hat. The desert sun can be fierce."
