  1. CONVERSATION: BOB PAGE & WALTON SIMONS
  2.  
  3. BOB PAGE
  4. Your appointment to FEMA should be finalized within the week. I've already
  5. discussed the matter with the Senator.
  6.  
  7. WALTON SIMONS
  8. I take it he was agreeable?
  9.  
  10. BOB PAGE
  11. He didn't really have a choice.
  12.  
  13. WALTON SIMONS
  14. Has he been infected?
  15.  
  16. BOB PAGE
  17. Oh yes, most certainly. When I mentioned that we could put him on the priority
  18. list for the Ambrosia vaccine, he was so willing it was almost pathetic.
  19.  
  20. WALTON SIMONS
  21. This plague -- the rioting is intensifying to the point where we may not be able
  22. to contain it.
  23.  
  24. BOB PAGE
  25. Why contain it? Let it spill over into the schools and churches, let the bodies
  26. pile up in the streets. In the end, they'll beg us to save them.
  27.  
  28. WALTON SIMONS
  29. I've received reports of armed attacks on shipments. There's not enough vaccine
  30. to go around, and the underclasses are starting to get desperate.
  31.  
  32. BOB PAGE
  33. Of course they're desperate. They can smell their death, and the sound they'll
  34. make rattling their cage will serve as a warning to the rest.
  35.  
  36. WALTON SIMONS
  37. Mmm. I hope you're not underestimating the problem. The others may not go as
  38. quietly as you think -- intelligence indicates they're behind the problems in
  39. Paris.
  40.  
  41. BOB PAGE
  42. A bunch of pretentious old men playing at running the world. But the world left
  43. them behind long ago. We are the future.
  44.  
  45. WALTON SIMONS
  46. We have other problems.
  47.  
  48. BOB PAGE
  49. UNATCO?
  50.  
  51. WALTON SIMONS
  52. Formed by executive order after the terrorist strike on the Statue. I have
  53. someone in place, though. I'm more concerned about Savage -- he's relocated to
  54. Vandenberg.
  55.  
  56. BOB PAGE
  57. Our biochem corpus is far in advance of theirs, as is our electronic sentience.
  58. And their... ethical inflexibility has allowed us to make progress in areas they
  59. refuse to consider.
  60.  
  61. WALTON SIMONS
  62. The augmentation project?
  63.  
  64. BOB PAGE
  65. Among other things -- but I must admit that I have been somewhat disappointed in
  66. the performance of the primary unit.
  67.  
  68. WALTON SIMONS
  69. The secondary unit should be online soon. It's currently undergoing preparation
  70. and will be operational within six months. My people will continue to report on
  71. his progress. If necessary, the primary will be terminated.
  72.  
  73. BOB PAGE
  74. We've had to endure much, you and I, but soon there will be order again, a new
  75. age. Aquinas spoke of the mythical City on the Hill. Soon that city will be a
  76. reality, and we will be crowned its kings. Or better than kings. Gods.
