"Adéle does not 'like' explosions, per se. She is merely rather accident-prone."

BOOM!

"... like so."

Anyway, somebody get the popcorn.

I guess Alex found his Librarian equivalent, though with PPC tech she's not going to remain haughty for long.

Especially since her Z-space "you-don't-have-anything-this-good" attitude is pointless when the PPC has what pretty much is teleportation with the portals.

Can't wait for more!

I remember reading about them a long time ago. I finished the series last year. It went from a series that sounded lighthearted to me, and then fridge horror set in. Finally, it went into "This is Reality" for me. I still can't believe they had 54 books.

I had to use Google to figure out what an Andalite was. I'm pretty sure I had nightmares about them as a child, so that's good. That face looks like the face of the thing at the end of 'I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.'
Aside from the mild mental scarring, jolly good story!

I wonder if what's-her-name (drat! Forgot already!) will mellow out once she sees the craziness that is PPC technology, or whether she ends up being the only friend of a certain female Time Lord.

Either way, good inerlude.

A few errors:

1) Alex’s cheer was abruptly cut off. “Waitwhat.”
I know that you're trying to convey that Alex said those words in rapid succession, but I don't think that the sense of "WTF?" would be lost by punctuating:
"Wait, what?"

2) “Right then, um, Farilan, if you’d follow me please.”
Missing comma before "please".

3) The doors to Hornbeam’s office were easily at least sixty feet tall, but there was a smaller door set into the left hand, larger door
Hyphenate "left hand".

...in a long time but I do still remember what the centaur girl is upon initial description.

"Internlude." Hehe. I had a moment where my brain went "Look, a typo," and then I got the joke, and it was even funnier.

The only maybe-negative thing I have to say about this is that I wish it were longer. I'd love to see Miss High and Mighty get her first real taste of PPC runs-on-nonsensoleum technology and have to come to terms with the fact that all her Andalite science is precisely worth a poot when it comes to making CADs work. Not that it'll cure her attitude or make her respect Alex more, but it would be fun to watch. *g*

Aside from that, yay, new Andalite girl and more DoSAT, and Hornbeam was in it, too! ^_^

And now, we should do that other thing. I am currently not working, so I have oodles of time. E-mail me when is good!

First of all, congrats to Alex. You did it, buddy!

Second, wow... I know I'm going to enjoy reading about Farilan. What is it with beings with superiority complex that makes them so amusing?!

On a side note, I wonder who would out-superior who: Farilan, or the Librarian... Please make that happen! :D

I guess once she saw one of these bigger on the inside time-machines, smugness dropped? Congrats for Alex though, both for the place and the princely gift. Guess something bad had to happen to him to balance them...
