Stor had been about two miles(10560 ft) above ground. He evaded on airboard and alternating went up and down. White grumous hair was whiffing from mask,which helped him to breath in this high. In usual cases he wouldnt need this mask, but in 120 kph(75mph) he would stiffle. Hands were widespread and occasionally he made a tumbles.
"Good work, First!" screamed out his companion Trun Melivar through transmitter. Trun was young, barely thirtyseven years old man, long and thin. His head was recently skinned. His beard until his chest was in strong opposition to his head. He had got a browngrey cap, which elastic copied his skinned head. He came from Drefil, planet in central sector. This planet had got no ground like other was only water on entire planet with manmade air-islands,was settled just three hundreds years ago using antigravitic technics like in times of Cleon IV, and powered by motors from Terminus in times of Hobert Mallow.
"I am not First, Trun! How many times do I explain it to you?" Stor Gendibal reacted wrathfully. But he wasnt angry really. His times went away and he went too, with honesty, to rest active. His succesor, Trun liked to meet him in free time. He was sport-based, too and airboarding was sport, he carried from his homeplanet. And because Stor couldnt run as well, he sported this way.
They tittuped about quarter of a hour and then they dropped down on ground. There, the lunch was prepared by Suri Novio and Deltram Huji, wife of Trun Melivar.
"Like young boys !" Deltram said with smile. She was long till waist –line of his husband, her long brown hair until her bottom waved in little breeze.
"There is so much fun uphill," Stor noticed in good feeling. Also, Trun was satisfied. He smiled and stepped neaerer to Deltram. He embraced her and kissed on a bow..
"I love you, my darling," Trun said to his wife.
"So do I, but I wa srong afraid of you," Deltram whispered to Trun.
"Lets gonna eat.," Suri called everyone. She aged, too. But wrinkles and hair-style corresponding to thirtyfour years old Deltram and modern dress made her younger. Suri a Stor still loved each other as they were young, in their first meeting. Suri leaded Stor for some time and affected him mentally, to change Second Foundation to be the Second Empire of Hari Seldon as galactic equivalent to Gaia. This knew only Suri Novio, Gaian woman living on Trantor as Damovan wife.
They ate together and shared delicious to each other. They continued in companionable debate, when sudenly Stor called unextected:
"Yeah? I am listening, my little child. Falom? Is it you? No , we elder used to say that to many ones. Wait a moment. I call you in a while, " Stor was quiet for a moment, turned to others,. "Excuse me. Work. I am sorry to trouble you but me and Trun have to go. "
"Oh, our guys! Always in work.," Suri tried to save the situation, "Lets go, Deltram, we clean a place. Propably, its for longer time."
"Hm," Deltram said sadly. Last month she wasnt enough with Trun. Situation in First Foundation requiered all of Truns concentration and she waited long days Truns return saying that for some time he spend time only with her. She has feeling he is comming home to eat and sleep. This weekend they were both for moments and there was work already between them.
"Dont worry, nothing serious. In a hour they will be back and then I tell Stor to argue Trun for holidays" Suri pacieffied her. Deltram looked sad at her, and sighed. She thought at that. Not only Stor and Trun were friends, but so did Deltram and Suri. For Deltram,Stor and Suri were like parents. She liked them. But there were some jobation to Stor, that he powered Trun in so important tasks. But she didnt say him anything.
Stor and Trunom went away quietly. Stor didnt say something. Until they were far enough from women..
"I have to connect with Falom. Then I say details. Shield will be up, so you see our interview," Stor said. During this he moved his hand up, to show how he is getting shield up. They found undisturbed place and they sat down.
"Falom!" Stor called in his mind to connect with Falom.
"Yes, uncle Stor?" Falom faltered. As usually, when she called mentally, sat in her favourite chair. She had shrinked legs and covered herself by glittering rug. She found it when she walked in gangways of Moon, at small springlet of water.
"Uncle? Nice to hear that," there was gladness in voice of Stora Gendibala. Also Trun observed, Stor is smileying. Stor aged but his body was stable. He wasnt bow-backed, just his skin darked little and wrinkled. His hair was white and dense. There occured nooks on forehead. They were surmounted by his hair style, because he parted hair backwards.
"I didnt know, how to speak to you. Mister Gendibal is better?"
" I like Uncle Stor. You know, I havent had children. I was always in my work," Stor explained slowly.
"I know. Second Foundation and Seldons Plan. And thats why I am calling you," spoke Falom. She looked for words.. Oficial tone sugessted she didnt know how to behave to Stor.
"Falom!" Stor snubbed her. He said it at hearing limit. He wanted to stop Fallom. He choosed words, too but in geriatric wisdom. Times of passion and eruptivity had gone long ago. He had only one objective - as long as he is alive and he is able, he will put to Seldons plan.
"Please?" Falom said noiselessly. She got alarmed, if she didnt do anything wrong or didnt say something unduly. She didnt communicate with anyone but with Bliss. Daneel was robot and none of alive hasnt came to them. She watched sub-etheric holovision and she registerd, that communication between people is a very important thing. Also, her study of history, her staying on Solaria or travelling with Far Star were nice showing, that existence of manship is based on communication. It didnt mind, how thiscommunication worked, without it the manship shouldnt survive at all. Her life, too, was about communicating, however, there was outter feature - lapets. "Call me Uncle Stor. And when you say me Uncle, behave to me like to uncle, ok?" friendly tone of Stora Gendibala suprised Falom. She was awaiting persuasion or some jobation.
"Well, uncle Stor," Falom reacted chickenhearted.
"But for reason of calling. Suri informed me. How many years is that? "
"34 years two onth one week and four days," Fallom said like computer.
"Time is flying away very quickly. Well. Lets go on. She helped me to remember Gaia and what was happening. How is R. Daneel?" Stors voice sounded little throatiness.
"Yesterday he stopped to left me some instructions I have to do after his disfunction. And first thing is to call the First Speaker. Arent you, uncle Stor? " Falom asked Stor.
"No, although I help him still. He is sitting next to me and can receive our debate. It would be better to speak personally. There are more reasons. Will you come?" Storgave wink to Trun. Trun moved with eyebrow and was suprised. He didnt know what about Stor says.
"Nicely, but I dont know how. " Falom said harassed. She was afraid of this. "Is it not enough this way, uncle? "
"Uncle want to see you. I try to find Golan Trevize. I tis his work, so its on hi to solve this. Second Foundation is not equiped by so big fleet. Well. Enough. I call Trevize. Certainly, he would help to kick.. Have a nice day, my beauityful niece. See you!" Stor unexpectedly made .
"See you," Falom said automatically.
Connection was lost and Stor gazed into farway. Then he longly look on Trun and tľapol ho po shoulders.
"Lets go!" and talked him story from long time ago. Trun listened patiently and he didnt try to disturb Stor.. There should be time next.
"Well done. And how to solve this?" Trun asked at last.
"In front of Council you appeal me to describe this story again, You power me for this trouble to solve, after all, it should come to useful for that. And you take holiday at least for a week. Suri told me, Deltram is very unhappy. I am sorry to tell that, I cant trench upon that, but Suri is as is. Gaian woman, by body and mind," Stor ended because they aproached to their wifes.
Deltram ran, and extended arms to Trun. Trun took her up on his arms like little daughter and waited for Deltram what she says.
"Dont say, there is another crisis in First or Second Foundation," Deltram looked accusingly into Truns eyes.
"Something worse," Trun said seriously, and his face still remained serious.
"No! Not again! Always work! You stay home, I dont letyou go anywhere!" Deltram launched.
"But Stor," Trun said and noded with head to Gendibal, " told, he double me for a week."
Deltram grinned. She kissed Trun and he got her down then. He catched Deltrams hand as well as Stor Suris and together gregariously went to college town.
