The unexpected humor of Mr. Tricky Smart

15th april 2010

Eve, this is CM speaking. Good to see you there standing firm in service. Good to have you under contract for the next 1000 years. Would have been difficult if you had not signed, grin.

Wait and see, CM, how I get out of these times of turmoil.

I love to be optimistic, dear. We have been briefing you properly. My presence is the eye of the storm, the calm center point. May you also be the eye of the storm for your fellows.

PS. I would be amused about an S333 cartoon.

Well, that was an unexpected statement! How do I design a big wig from Orvonton who has become drawn to the pioneering events of the famous CM enfant terrible of Nebadon?

I"m relying upon your generous creativity. After S333 has moved himself into your focus he is amused and keen to find out how a cartoon figure of himself would be equipped by you.

Isn"t he fearing a bit for his image of seriousness?

Universal people who enter my universe are generally aware that they cannot take such things in, these images are usually to be left in special trays at the border. Now, Eve, what kind of image does S333 have with you?

Ok, let me ponder. The image of a workaholic which is not a surprise, as all of us are somehow workaholics. Then I think he loves the show of presenting himself on the stage of transmission and of course he is good at mass production. I"ve always questionned how Vince could stand that volume. Well, we have the result of this overload now. This would be homework for S333 to develop a better idea about the energy resources of the humans incarnate, in order not to deplete them too much. Actually, the volume does not just occupy the main transmitter, but also the translators. So, just in case that S333 might intend to knock at my door I put out a sign reading:Sorry, S333 must stay out, no free capacities here.

Sounds as if you had felt him silently roaming around your place?

Had the impression somehow, yes. We should have invited him to take part in this conversation, grin.

Well, he will respect your sign and therefore need this special invitation. Maybe he left a note for you upon your sign?

Do you think I should check?

(CM grinning)... if you like?

Ok (I"m looking at my energetical "stay out" sign and read a comment, while bursting with laughter.)

LOL!!! There"s a note added indeed and it"s reading: "AM A GOOD DOG, WAITING FOR YOU OUTSIDE. S333." Now, this is what I call humor of a Mr. Tricky Smart! And you KNEW it already, CM!

Well, he asked me for assistance and I told him that humor would be the main key and a safe card to check in at your door.

Ok, I must say, if he is that humorous I might perhaps let him in for a coffee break and an inofficial chat.

Sounds great! I should tell you on his behalf that this prospect really makes his day!

Does that mean that he has been in now on BCC-modus as a blind passenger and I did not realize?

One could name it like that. I authorized that and hope you don"t mind as this was a possibility to hear you speak freely.

OH MY! As if I mostly would not do this anyway! Ok, S333 and CM, I put up the white flag and will grant unleashed entry to S333.

S333: I"m happy to hear that, Eve. And I think I got your message. I"m aware that you don"t really have any free capacities and that you must somehow protect yourself against me invasively moving in at your place , but my focus was more on saying hello and being friends. And if you have a question to ask, just whistle for me.

E: Sounds nice and funny. Might be a good basis for cooperation.

CM: And don"t forget the cartoon!

E: Make stasis now, otherwise no guarantee, as you have not yet equipped me with starfleet employees doing my housework.

CM: Ok, I see, now, that would be a reason to press the button.

S333: (grinning) Take your time, CM, I still have another 53 messages in store to transmit first!

E: I"m afraid to say that right now you are not a good dog, S333!!!

CM grinning.

S333: Ooops! (grinning again, too) I"ll do my best to behave well in order to be rewarded by a cartoon.

E: You might regret this but I"ll try to be kind. Thanks the two of you, was nice meeting you!
