K3.14159 and Dr e enter local koordinates.

Renowned ego, Dr e, assisted with the testing. 'I had a little trouble driving the software but I was kamping at the time... so... that's OK.'    While true, e's lame excuses didn't sit too well with K3.14159. 'We almost lost the test because of e's incessant tweaking of the optics alignment. You really don't need to know anything to talk smart,' K3 sputtered.

And he's been tight lipped about the new concept. Without a BFT clearance and need to know, few have gotten any details.Only his innermost circle - all certified opponentologists - have an inkling of the nature of the work and they're notspilling the beans, at least not around kamp.

Certified opponentologist K3.14159 maintains a different opinion. 'I had a buzz going too and I didn't see anything', he carped. K3.14159's announcement last week that 'there are no e-mesons' has his professional reputation in a tail spin again.

    Pleased with the results, K3 retires for another well earned cocktail.

Despite the progress, there are detractors. Art Coates, well known for his one-ups-manship, is unequivocal. 'You can't steer photons with a gromet repair kit!' His assertion is well founded. During the test, several hardware failures were field repaired with his handi-bundler.

Earthlings beware, the kamping fiends are coming.
