"There are only the three of us."[/i] The man in the black suit grinned mischievously. [i]"True." "I can't tell you much yet, some things are interesting, especially the scope of what's on the table here. But I have a few questions before we continue. Of all people, why am I here? "Professor, it would seem from our file that you are a specialist in archaeology and theism?" "That's right. But now that you mention records: Is there a secret list floating round the government and when there's imminent danger, they tap that list?" "Not exactly, there are such lists. But you've been asked for explicitly." "Oh?"[/i] That took me by surprise. [i]"Yes, the committee leading the investigation thought you were the best choice - given your previous experience. And you are the youngest person on the list." "If that committee sees it that way, I'm not sure if it's meant to be a compliment or not?" "Probably less as a compliment than as a possibly relevant requirement on the ground." "That sounds exciting!" "Look at the pictures and you'll know it's going to be exciting."[/i] I swallowed. [i]"Indeed."[/i]
