Geoff, I'll try to discreetly pass that on when I see the Captain. Regarding the Mary: Wood, it's huuuge! It must be a good city block long, and maybe five, six stories high. The engine pods alone are the size of boxcars! I can't see any seams in the hull, it's pretty much smooth, with just a few little ports and modules here and there... they look like they're molded right into the skin. And it's white, like shiny alabaster... I mean, it's pretty! Of course, it's a relatively new ship, and I guess a few years will put some blemishes on it eventually. But right now--

Ah, there's the hatch opening... and unless I miss my guess... yes, that's Captain Carolyn Kestral waving me up! Come on... (I am so geeking out over this!)

"Welcome to the Mary, Mister Jordan! It's so nice to meet you in person."

And you, Captain! My MobileRead colleagues would like me to pass on their compliments on your... ah... attractiveness. Yes. As a matter of fact, you're... uh, taller than I imagined you.

"I get that a lot. And you, uh... look thinner in person."

Thanks! I've dropped a few pounds... heh... anyway, why don't we get started with the interviews?

"Certainly! And if you and your friends would like, we can also walk around the Mary, and I can show you some of the amenities."

That would be great! And where is the rest of the crew?

"Oh, they're about somewhere... we'll run into them soon enough."

Okay. So: You're just back from the planet Shura Dva, where most of the story The Lens takes place. Nice planet?

"Well, it's still in the process of being terraformed, so it's really not much to look at. And after our visit, we were happy enough to leave!"

I can dig it. We know, of course, that you had quite an adventure on Shura Dva, although only you and I know the details.

"It was an incredible adventure, Steve! And as rough as it was at times, I can assure you that I wouldn't have missed it for the world."

Excellent. Ah, we seem to be approaching the bridge of the Mary. Would Mark O'Bannon possibly be here?

"Well, let's see..."
