。。。 and now the book has e to me。 Through coincidence�察�through chance�拭�Forget about those�察�through fate。 My parents taught me aide English。 The archaic written word。 They changed all that after the NHE�察�an entire new alphabet�察�so no´one could read the truth about the past�察�I guess。 The terminal spoke and showed you the way。 We watched and learned and clocked up credits。 No other options。 Only the lord high terminal。 The new god。 He who gave or took away�察�depending how long you spent at your devotions before him。 So you worship in your shrine�察�your home�察�your tomb。 But I had the word。 The Logos。 I was the last�察�it had to be passed to me and it was。 I could confide in no´one。 Hardly Norma。 But then Rex was sent to us。 I studied and I studied and at last I began to piece it all together。 And I began to realize what I should be looking for and ultimately where it was to be found。 And in the mean time I played the fool�察�the mad uncle�察�until I could teach the boy。

The silver spaceship still stood upon the upper deck�察�atop the spiral tower of Earthers Inc。 In it sat Mungo Madoc�察�he was picking his nose。 Before him screens displayed the current state of things。 Three men in a bunker。 One Phnaargian struggling to his feet。 A beautiful woman in a control room。 A curious vortex�察�which was probably just interference。 The doings in his own boardroom。 He would have to put a lock on that cigar box。 Mungo examined a fingertip�察�made a face and applied scented drops to a now upturned nostril。
'It won't do�察�will it��'
Mungo�察�alone of all Phnaargians�察�knew the speaker's voice。 The series' backers municated with only the station head。 And to him rarely。 'I hardly feel that I can be held directly responsible。'
'Oh�察�then perhaps you wish to step down from your position of responsibility。'
'I didn't say that exactly。'
'But it amounts to the same thing。 The buck stops with you。'
'I would have thought that ultimately it stops with you。'
'Oh�察�no。 It never does that。 Non´intervention is our policy。 This is the way it has always been。 Always will be。'
'Well�察�I hardly see how I can influence events。 We shall just have to see what Fergus Shaman does。'
'It might all prove to be somewhat academic。 You are aware�察�are you not�察�that the virus has now reached the twenty´first century��'
'Word has reached me�察�yes。'
'And it's gaining momentum。 If you can't halt the process then it will shortly reach the present。 And when it does。。。'
'When it does�拭�Yes��'
'Armageddon��' said the voice。 'But not the one you have planned。 You are going to need a veritable miracle this time。'
'Hellooooeeee��' called Fergus Shaman。 'Anybody in there��'
'I know that voice。'
'It's Mr Shaman�察�chief。'
'Who��'
Elvis turned to Rex。 'Fergus Shaman�察�the man from outer space�察�I told you about him。'
'And he's just popped by for a chat。 How sublimely opportune。'
Dan felt the hand of Christeen tweak his left testicle。 He wasn't going anywhere for the moment。
'Open up��' called Fergus。 'It's important�察�honestly。'
'Best let him in�察�chief。' Elvis cranked the turncock and swung open the bunker door。 Fergus stepped inside�察�grinning broadly。
'Hope I'm not intruding。'
'Not a bit of it��' Rex helped him through the hatch。 'We have about four minutes to kill before the bomb drops。 We've been playing a game called ;I spy with my little eye;�察�except we seem to have run out of expletives to describe Dan。'
'Just four minutes�察�here in the nick of time�察�eh��'
'I doubt it��' Rex replied。 'But if you have had any hand in all this�察�then I will take some pleasure in knowing that you perish along with us。'
'You have a ready wit upon you�察�young man。' Fergus hastily addressed himself to Elvis。 'Mr Presley��' he puffed。 'You really shouldn't be here�察�you know。 It really would be better for all concerned if you just went straight back to 1958 and dodged the draft。 As we suggested in the first place。'
'No way��' said the Big E�察�shaking his head vigorously。
'Easy there�察�chief��' howled the sprout。
'Can't you reason with him��' Fergus addressed the rear of Presley's head。 The sprout for once had nothing to say。
'I screwed up once already。 This time I gotta make it right。 I got me the Ant´eye´Christ here�察�for Chrissakes。 No offence to the Good Lord intended there。'
Fergus perused the bound lama。 'He's much smaller than he looks on TV��' he observed。
'But I ain't no frigging Antichrist。 You tell him。'
'Shut your mouth�察�fella。'
'Really�察�this is getting us nowhere。 Rex�察�what do you think��'
'Rex��' said Rex。 'I don't know you�察�do I��'
'But I know you。 All Phnaargos knows you。 You're a big star。'
'A big star��'
'A real crowdpleaser。 I shouldn't be saying this because we're probably on camera�察�but it would be a sad day if we were to lose you�察�Rex。'
'Butt out of here�察�Shaman。'
'No�察�hang about。 I want to hear more。 A big star�察�did you say��'
'I'll tell you everything�察�but not here。'
'Yes��' Dan agreed�察�'this is all most interesting�察�we should go somewhere more fortable and discuss it。 My place�察�perhaps��'
'Button it�察�schmucko。'
'Well somewhere�察�and now。'
Elvis chewed upon his curly lip。 'We really should�察�chief��' his cerebral panion agreed。 'Or at least we should。'
Elvis dithered and dathered。 'I just don't know。' He just didn't know。
'Nuke them out��' said Gloria Mundi。
'But your brother�察�dear。'
Gloria paused。 'Bugger him。'
'But dear�察�blood is thicker than water and all that。 And if we are going to build a better world surely we must do it with passion。 Or we will be no better than。。。'
'Than men。'
'Exactly。'
'But we may never get as good a chance as this again。'
'But he is your brother�察�dear。 Flesh of your flesh。'
Gloria hung her beautiful head。 'You are right。 It would be murder。'
'Exactly�察�we must rule with love�察�care and feeling。'
'We must�察�we must。'
'Even if�察�when all is said�察�he is just another man。'
'Even if。'
'Representing�察�in microcosm�察�all men。'
'Even if。'
'All men with their shallowness�察�lust�察�greed and craving for power。'
'Even if。' This 'even if'�察�although looking the same as the previous 'even ifs'�察�had about it a more prolonged and thoughtful quality。
'Even if he did crap in our bidet。'
Gloria gave Ms Vrillium a very knowing look。
'I'll nuke them out then�察�shall I dear��'
'Best to�察�eh��' Gloria ran the intro。
Over the hills�察�but not a great way off�察�was another vast concrete pyramid。 It was the headquarters of number two in the Big Three。
L。 Ron Hubbard the twenty´third lounged on the fy rear´ends of a dozen nubile lady acolytes。 As with the previous twenty´two L。 Rons�察�who had gone before him to wherever it is those lads go to�察�this one was rotund and ruddy and bore a striking resemblance to the late and legendary Andy Divine。 Plumping himself upon those who were grateful for it�察�he nodded towards she whose job it was to work the controller。 And then he watched the wall screen with an eagerness which many might just have considered a smidgenet unhealthy。
And way up over on the other side of town�察�Pope Joan knelt alone in the viewing chapel of Vatican City。 Actually it wasn't really a city at all�察�just another dirty great concrete bunker�察�but city says something which bunker just can't seem to。 For Joan there were never any pleasures of the flesh。 Such were strictly proscribed。 To fall into such iniquity would be to fall from the true faith。 When you fall heir�察�or in her case heiress�察�to a legacy of pious turpitude�察�which includes within its holy ranks such exemplars as Pope Alexander VI and Innocent VIII�察�you have something to live up to。 Mind you�察�the weekly burnings were�察�as they had always been�察�something of a turn´on。 And although the Dalai wouldn't actually be broadcasting live from his bunker prison�察�the mere thought of his forthing immolation sent pure frissons of pleasure all around where the rosaries dangled。
She genuflected�察�whacked herself a couple of times across the naked shoulders with a plastique flagrum and pumped up the volume。
Down in the bunkers�察�Mr and Mrs Joe Public whacked into today's deliveries and kept on watching that screen。 It was a bit early in the day for all this mega´excitement�察�but they were feeling fine about the whole thing。 Today's deliveries had been suitably laced for the occasion。
Gloria's face filled the screen。 Gloriously。 Her green eyes were red´rimmed and welled with tears。 Her exquisite cheeks streaked。 Her lipstick smudged�察�just so。 The makeup department had really excelled themselves。 'It's now an hour since the telepathic munication from our beloved Dalai Lama。 My dear friends�察�I'm lost for words。 My grief is your grief。 For if the loss of one of the world's greatest figures isn't enough in itself to fill our hearts with sorrow�察�the ghastly news that I have just received�察�and which I now convey to you�察�is more terrible yet。 It was previously believed that the Devianti was a separatist group acting upon their own insane dictates。 But this isn't the case。 The terrorists are in the pay of one of the other networks。 Even now another kidnapping is in progress。 A Devianti death squad is penetrating the security of。。。' Gloria choked back a tear and blew her nose on a handkerchief of crepe de Chine。 Then the screen crackled and went dead。
L。 Ron Hubbard collapsed; into a turmoil of heaving buttocks。
Pope Joan pulled the plug from her flagrum。
'Joan��' screamed Hubbard。 'The treacherous。。。'
'Bastard。' Pope Joan finished the sentence。 'This means。。。'
'War�察�I should think。' Gloria pressed the firing button。
'You really are a genius�察�dear��' sighed Ms Vrillium。 'Do you think we should take to the shelters just to be on the safe side��'
'Now�察�why on Earth should we do that�拭�No´one is going to be shooting at us�察�now are they��'
Mungo Madoc buried his face in his hands�察�and said�察�'Oh�察�calamity。'
