#46:Banana Slug -Did I hear a 'but'?
Shelby was impressed. He was also mildly disappointed. The boys could do so much more with just a little bit more effort. He had some ideas. He gave Joshua a text.

Do I hear a ‘but’?

Shelby to Joshua
Bright lad. You might not be aware of hydrofoils. The mantas will adapt to them just PERFECTLY. Also something else I’ve been working on. Are you and the boys free for lunch? Joshua to Shelby
Heh, Silly Question.
“At your Command” ArchMage
When and where?
.
Shelby groaned. This wasn’t going the way he had wanted it too. All he’d wanted to do was to make a few helpful suggestions. Guess not. Burden of command and like that.
- Shelby to Joshua
I dunno, knowing that crowd maybe both. You decide. Anything you want. You all deserve it.

My treat.

Take your time. Have a GOOD time.
Then Ya’ll drop by to see me.

Shelby sat with his head in his palm for a few minutes. He thought of an old quotation.
“Heavy is the head that wears the crown” He didn’t have a crown. What he had was worse.
“Oh Boo Hoo” Elvira was NOT sympathetic. “ Poor you. It's your party and you’ll cry if you want to. Cry until your pity party _something, something _? Just like the song says?”
“We ain’t got time for that. CowBoy up Gramps. I have ideas in motion. I did a Cyber-Plunge into the fountain of the SoulStone chasing your mind waggles, so saddle up! It takes a big tractor to plow the fertile field of your mind and I’m just brimful with ontological commitments, instantiation and domain specifications! ” She said.
“WELL?” Elvira continued, not a bit patient.” Extending this logic, the direst scale to be less than an untoned, advised bangle of an unshrived cognitive organization. Much like the zeitgeist of millrun plants but without the understated beauty of karate or the apparel of unlined cymbals!”
“I’m in awe” Shelby said “I don’t believe I’ve ever hear such a wild mixed rant.”
“Yeah yeah.” Elvira cut in “ I bet you say that to all the girls. It got your attention. Now listen up. If you vary the resonance spectra of the tau-geek-speak techno-babble”
In spite of himself Shelby listened. This was new. It actually made sense in context. He began to grin.

When watching the LameStream FakeNews Media
it's hard to tell what’s true or when they are lying isn’t it? It seems that they are more interested in influencing public opinion than they are reporting the facts.

borg...borg...borg-borg
Shelby, for the moment looks like a man tormented and alone or at least with many worries or is the one who really understands the problem they are involved in ... Hopefully, his meeting with Naomi, will allows him to alleviate a little his weight or worries .. .Shelby, as a good leader, wants his people to give him more, I think he handled it well with Joshua ... Elvira? ... I understand that Elvira is installed in his mind?
Yup...Shelby has a split personality. One is Shelby..the other is Elvira...an alien installed interface to the SoulStone embedded in his brain.
OK. Now I understand Shelby's behavior throughout history. Thanks
Book 1: Soulstone...explains all that ...
Yes, it is certainly necessary to review the book 1. I must do it.
good story friend
