Susan Meerson was speaking to Dr. Victor Venturius one day in his laboratory when he suddenly asked her to do something for him, something very important and urgent...
"Go to the planet Arcturus. The city called Wayland. Enter the bar called Tony's and ask to speak to Bob, who runs the place. Old Bob and me we go way back, I mean way back, all the way to the Rebellion."
"You were in the Rebellion?" asked Susan.
"No. But I watched it on holovid. Like your father. And Bob."
"You knew my father?"
"Yes. And he also was a great fan of the Rebellion. On the holovid."
"My father watched the Rebellion on holovid?"
"Yes, and he was very good at it. The best I've ever known. Just as you will be one day, if you keep at it."
"Oh I don't know about that..."
"That's your Uncle Dan talking."
"I don't have an Uncle Dan."
"Oh."
