    ZRtech: Hello Doktor! what was this about paying for my time?


    TheDoktor: I''ll pay $500 for a 30-minute session. I just want a chance to make a proposal.


    ZRtech: Ok, you have me for a half hour.


    TheDoktor: Splendid! I''ve made the payment to your PayBuddy account.


    TheDoktor: Are you ready for the pitch?


    ZRTech: It''s your dime. Hit me.


    TheDoktor: Nice Johhny Mnemonicreference. Is that an official request? Better consult with H first. I''ll wait.Stolen novel; please report.


    ZRtech: H? What are you talking about? A little less cryptic, please.


    TheDoktor: I can''t come out and say it directly since the other H is reading this, The H with the antlers is the one I mean.


    ZRtech: I thought you said this was a secure chat.


    TheDoktor:The chat isn''t the issue. It''s about the transcript, later on.


    ZRTech: Ah, the one from the forest. Got it.


    TheDoktor: Wouldn''t do to give up your moonlight job.


    ZRtech: Who''s this other H you mentioned?


    TheDoktor: If you accept my proposal you''ll meet him later.


    ZRtech: Sure. I''ll be back online in a bit.

    ZRtech: You and H are both jerks. That hurt! Obviously, you''ve been messing with my interface device. I''m not even going to ask how at this point.


    ZRtech: I''m still waiting for the proposal. That new pile of crap in my head is not a proposal.


    DoktorUrmind: I want to help you in developing your interface. I''d like to buy some of them once they are more portable.


    ZRTech: Help how?


    DoktorUrmind: I have technical staff and lots of money. I''d like to pay you to continue working on your interface full time.


    DoktorUrmind: I could make it a nonprofit grant if that makes you feel any better.


    ZRtech: Are you proposing that I leave my current job and do just this?


    DoktorUrmind: Yes, I meant your day job. By all means, keep doing the other thing.


    ZRtech: I needto consult with my wife, of course. I keep the rights and I want a million guaranteed up front. I am so glad that weird doesn''t bother me much anymore.


    DoktorUrmind: Can''t do anything about the wyrd. Where do you want the money sent?


    ZRtech: Green Forrest Treasury. I have to go talk to Kithera. Catch you later.
