Well, Rackie fans, the old research mission turned out to be longer than expected, but it ,sure paid off. While circling the Sun, I gathered Several frag- ments of information spun off from'the recent explosion at quEI. What's more, the Empire Council continues to meet occasionally and there are signs they may seek to replace the Sure Heavenly Vision with something a-little Purer, and perhaps a bit less Insular. Who knows, the very meaning of Growth may eve1 be up for grabs. That would rank right up there with Rock's conversion to Art! (Some of the sures, contemplat- ing an uncertain and ever Future,

cited bv Fluke and C—thru for that old offence so

oft associated with these riders of flying steeds, that of besplattering the. heads of innocent Insulars with their, shall we say, exhaust. It seems they were on patrol over and above the call of duty out of concern for their respective flocks of sheep, who they feared were in danger of being spooked by the mere sight of a hairy Rookie or two.

Wolf seems exceptionally protective of his fold (a word, incidentally, that he forgets when in full- throated song). He clearly contemplates its inhabitants in proprie— tary fashion, as fair, but no longer so Sure, game. (Did not the Sures have some wisdam to offer on the subject of Wolves and Iambchops? But - I digress.)

Better for the Wolf were he to ponder the recent ramblings of the Sacred Cow. The Cow, still loose in the ‘. heavens, has strayed farther than ever frem INSULA and quEI, accor— ding to the latest word ' from the central galactic information network. has been one of the great promoters of the last roundup of the Cow and

the Empire (of quEI, that is) has staked(steaked?) a lot on the prospect that the Cow can be snagged.

In that respect, Wolf should be pleased that the Empire Council seems to be in no mood to permit the Ro'ck to burn any more offerings - and risk offending the Cow. Apparently unimpressed by the great pile of ord.-- nance(is that the word for all that Sure Heavenly stuff? — darn head wounds! - check with C—thrul) unloaded on quEl by the Horsemen after their summer's foraging, the Council is moving to establish a new team of ' Visionaries for the Empire. Rock is happily contemplating the recruits for the new squad.

Maybe there is a future for quEII Mus-t— it, too, be Sure and Heavenly? Is there another Solution, neither Final nor Nasty? Tune in next week.

What is the sourrl of a falling sheep? Can it be heard by a rolling Rack? By a howling Wolf? Where is Star Dragger? Can Ran 8010 be re- programmed? . Who was that Masked Man anyway?
