they are actually from about a thousand years in your future."
"That's impossible!" "Nothing is impossible for me." "Getting me clothes seemed to be." "I wish that you would stop your complaining and cynicism, not for my benefit but for your own. You are a much better person than that. If you had not been, then I would not have chosen you for this mission. Of course, you have scope to develop further as a person while you are here, and it was partly to give you that opportunity that I chose you. Please don't waste the chance." Astra was not sure what to say to that. So instead she said: "And these children's names and ages?" "Dnumde is sixteen and his sister Ycul is fourteen. Their cousin Ecatsue is Ycul's age." "Bloody daft names if you ask me: D'Numpty, Ickle and Cat Sue." "I didn't ask you, and you are just being awkward." Astra sighed. "I suppose that you'd better give me that briefing about Sidaj's strengths and weaknesses that you promised me." [72886] Nalsa smiled, exposing an alarming mouthful of teeth. "That's better."
