The door of the office was opened wide to the unexpected one and a man entered
nearly in the room running and he was arrested to the writing desk and he
supported the palms of the hands opened on the shelf in front of himself in
order to support his abrupt arrest and in order to refrain the inertial force
that still pushed him in ahead. There was a moment of total quiet, then the
man made a strange noise with the mouth, sucking in the air fastly, like if he
was remained for a long time without breathing, and nearly shouted: "Boss, the
problem is solved! The Larvae of Sector 1, Cross-sections 2 and 3, are born
according to the foreplanned rhythms in the central program, in its original
version. Also the other Cross-sections would have to follow the normal
ruotine. The voice of the Sleepers more has not been heard from several hours.
It is foreseen that all this bailamme involves a delay of 6 days only !! ".
The man behind the writing desk slowly raised the head, surmounted from a not
indifferent mass of white hair, from the papers he was examining before the
irruption, until intercrossing the look of who it was of forehead. His candid
beard trembled, the light naturally rose-colored colouring of his face turned
to the bright red and his blue eyes darkened in a steel-gray, while his voice
thundered out again: "Professor Albani! But then this is a your bad habit!
Still you are obstinate to make irruption in this barbarian way !! Perhaps you
want cause me a cardiac arrest? You want take my place in this way so little
scientific? And then still you continue to call me Boss !!!". The tone of his
voice had continued to go up in a more and more acute way, as his speech
proceeded. Then he was arrested the unexpected one. The two men watched
themselves fixed in the eyes and began to laugh. Very soon they laughed
heartily, without any reserve, with the tears to the eyes. Then slowly
subsided. Professor Carpitelli headed for the bookcase, to the right of his
writing desk, removed some books from a shelf up, threaded the hand in that
opening and seized one bottle of a very old brandy. From a drawer of the
writing desk he pulled outside two disposable paper cups, then he raised the
bottle and he watched the other man that he made endured a wide signal of
assent. The disposable paper cups were filled up. They made a toast and the
disposable paper cups came quickly emptied. The emptying and filling process
went ahead for a short time, while the two men were comfortably seated, one
behind the writing desk and the other of forehead. "Sure", Albani exclaimed
"that a similar ingenuity is inexplicable, if we think the intelligence
demonstrated from the Entity.".
