REAWAKENING - an excerpt
Once he found an open wave he was quick to begin transmitting his data into the huge memory bank. For the first file he sent; George, 14879328; Numas, black, five feet seven inches, one hundred and forty pounds; accepted heat engagement; movement apparent at first inspection.
He went through all the files in exactly this manner until, once again, he needed to transmit the seventh. This time he slowed his transmission process a little and allowed a slight intrusion of his analytical process while he worked.
He sent; Linda, 775923, Nufem, white, five feet two inches, one hundred and five pounds, accepted heat engagement. Then he stopped momentarily to analyze. He could see nothing unusual in the data, nothing that would explain his strange behaviour the previous evening. Again he began to send Movement apparent .....
He hesitated. He wondered if he should record her unusual movements. Never in his career had a Newold actually grasped the hand of a Prime or even that of a Midescent. It was unheard of that an Analytical Prime could not make a quick decision, but Jim found it impossible to decide whether he should report the Newold's behaviour or keep the information to himself. He did not really want any extra work or hassle from his supervisor. He was over-worked as it was. Already, Jim had begun to think of Linda, 775923 as his very own and very special one in seven. Realizing this, at last he was capable of making a decision. He decided not to transmit information about the uncommon occurrence and instead sent the message, Movement apparent at first inspection.
The data transmissio was complete. Jim stood up from behind his desk, walked across the office floor and stepped onto the travel platform. In an instant he once more stepped off the platform inside the Entry Centre.
