ZARDOZ'S REVIEW

Part I

Look
Office of Zardoz
Zardoz's office is lined with fine Aekonian woods. A large antique desk with a large leather chair is located on one side of the office. On the desk, in a gold frame is a picture of Zardoz's love, and wife, Sephorin. Against one wall is a soft, comfortable leather couch. Built into one of the cabinets is a wet bar and food replicator.
Zardoz is here.
Zodraz is here.
Sephiroth is here.
Nosferatu is here.

Zardoz says, "So, the new planet will then be able to take up the gap as Sephiroth promotes to Indy. Any questions?

Zodraz raises his hand and says, "I have one. What new planet?"

Zardoz looks at Zodraz and says, "Deos Station. We covered it at the last meeting."

Zodraz says, "I don't recall that. I have nothing in my notes about a new planet."

Zardoz says, "Zod, it was the first item on the agenda."

Zodraz looks down at his notes and says, "You mean the wen tenalp?"

Nosferatu groans.
Sephiroth groans.
Zardoz slaps his hand against his forehead and groans.

Zodraz looks at his notes again and says, "Ohhhh.... I get it"

Zardoz's communicator beeps.

Zardoz glances at his comm unit and says, "It's Hazed... Am I doing anything I have to be worried about?"

Zodraz says, "No, you have been behaving yourself."

Zardoz says, "I have... Why? Oh well, I'd better take this."

Zardoz picks up his comm unit, presses a button, and says, "Hello Hazed. It's a pleasure to have you call, why just now I was commenting to my executive staff how... what's that?... Oh yes, ok... shut up and listen... I understand completely, I just hate it too when someone just starts to prattle on about nothing and fills the air with... right... shutting up now, is this about my recent suggestion?... What do you mean you don't think Sephorin would like it? Why wouldn't she like painted spaceships with custom wheels?... The subject line?

Zardoz looks at some papers on his desk and says, "No... Not Bride, Ride... Yes, like the TV show... Pimp my Ride... Ok... Yes, shutting up now and listening... Yes, I know Trill has been away... Oh her reviews... yes, of course, don't worry, I'm on it, Good bye Hazed, Leave it to me.

Zardoz closes his communicator and says, "Right, I have job to do for Hazed."

Zodraz says, "What kind of job."

Zardoz says, "I have to write of review for the Star."

Zodraz says, "A review? Of what?

Zardoz says, "Of... ... ... Of... .... Oh, nuts... I forgot to ask.

Zodraz says, "What are you going to review?

Zardoz frowns and says, "Hmmmm.... I know, I'll review a spreadsheet."

Zodraz says, "Zard, how on Aekonia are you going to do that?"

Zardoz frowns and says, "Right... Ok, I have to review something... Let me think."
