Episode 1021 - The Requirement: ``Marge: Zaffre for coming all this way. ``Vanna: Zarfs. ``Marge: You explain to Vanna the problems you are having. ``Boss: Let me show you! --- As soon as we switch over to our new system, we get a grey screen. ``Vanna: Interesting illusion. ``Vanna: First stop is the basement quin. ``Marge: Certus. [Hotel Basement] ``Vanna: All the data cables look okay, and there is not damage and they are properly laid out. ``Boss: They are all running in parallel. ``Vanna: Therefore the next stop is the roof quin. `Marge: Certus. [Hotel Roof] ``Vanna: This older type relay dish, does not have the bandwidth to cope with the increases you need for good reception on our new system. However I do not believe that is causing the problem. What is highly suspect in your downlink cable as it is the impedance matching of the cable cannot cope with the higher frequencies we are using. Therefore you need a new dish and a new down cable in one piece, all the way down to the control box in the basement. ``Bois: A sensible solution. ``Marge: In that case I will pay your bill. ``Bois: Zarfs Marge. ``Vanna: Sometimes it will work and you can get away with it, but your old type is not compatible, I am sorry to say. ``Marge: I will buy you both a light lunch and I get my secretary to authorize payment, on the way. ``Vanna: Zaffre. ``Bois: That was a nice lunch. I am going to the Office and perhaps you two would like to come? ``Vanna: It will be nice to see Chauffeur again. --- ``Chauffeur: Hello all. We are getting a lot of enquires, but what I have been trying to explain to Bois, is that you have to lay in new cable to the high populated areas, before we can get them signed up. ``Vanna: That make sense. Bois? -|-``Tetra: I too agree. ``Bois: We have not had the time, and still cannot find anyone to do the cabling. ``Vanna: In that case it will be cost effective to bring Cables, up here again for a few qefs. ``Bois: Okay you win. ``Vanna: Bring some reels of cable over in Eagle. ``Bois: Excellent idea. I will see you back at Ziggy for 18th time. ``Vanna: Zimo. {Cosmo. Algol Space Dock in transit to Citadel ~ 8} ``Albi: Hatches secured, and 5 greens. Tetra? ``Tetra: Auto course laid, but keep the speed down until we are through the wormhole. Master? ``Master: I agree, and already Vanna? ``Vanna: Mach 28 and then Mach 48 once through the wormhole. So Zoom. [Cosmo Mess] ``Vanna: What status can you give me with Cosmo, so I can temporarily fly her alone, on a specific course? ``Master: We could apply the same rule which we have done, which allows you to fly to Atlantic City for SAA, and Space Cavern for repairs, but if you want to do anything else you will have to apply for special permission for an extension under personal circumstances. ``Vanna: Can we do it? ``Master: Certus, but where? ``Vanna: Lacerta. ``Master: Blimey! Lacerta? How many hours are in your log book as Pilot under training for Lacerta? ``Vanna: About 20 hours. ``Master: We will have to go and see them and take your log book with you. ``Vanna: Can we do that shortly? ``Master: Certus, but you want to fly Cosmo single handed? ``Vanna: It will be all on automatic, as Lacerta have updated the computer program with a special routine, and they will control the ship. ``Master: That is an amazing achievement and I am flabbergasted. ``Vanna: If there were any problems they would come out in Cosmo 3. ``Master: [Shouts] Cosmo 3? ``Vanna: Shush! When we get back home, I will come over in Ziggy. If I get approval, how am I going to keep it quiet? ``Master: I can file a flight plan at Atlantic City to Lacerta, as you are covered from Space Dock. ``Vanna: Wonderful solution. ``Master: They will charge you ¢500 just for that! ``Vanna: I do not mind, as long as I get it. ``Master: So You are leaving us all behind? ``Vanna: I must move on.
