[[Kuri walks from the room with the fish tank, and has a flashback to the Planetfall waystation; she is in a narrow tubular room in which water is suspended at the axis of rotation via large support columns.  Proctor approaches her, standing nearly opposite her in the rotational frame.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Proctor: Ah, I knew I would find you in here.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Kuri: Leave me alone, Proctor.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Proctor: Zero was quite pleased when you agreed to become an Oracle. It always thought you had potential.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Kuri: I can&#x27;t hear you over this wind. It sounded like you just said I agreed to become an Oracle.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Proctor [walking closer]: Ah, but you did. Two decs ago... &#x22;I would like to speak to Zero.&#x22;&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Kuri: Wh--!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Kuri: That is NOT what I meant, and you KNOW it.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Proctor [talking over Kuri]: Perhaps, but we have lost ALL PATIENCE with you, Miss Melrose. At htis point you, have no choice.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Kuri: Like spray I don&#x27;t.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Proctor: Tomorrow we will move on to echo validation.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Kuri [shocked]: Validation without priming?! But that&#x27;ll--&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Proctor [interrupting]: Ah, but you know the Process? But of course-- you have already been primed.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Kuri: W--&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Kuri: I...&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Kuri [quietly]: when?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Proctor [walking away]: In your sleep... starting three decs ago.</description>

Craig: you&#x27;d gone to bed already.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Craig: followed protocol completely. every test came back fine... so we switched the sources.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Craig: would you have really done differently?&#x3C;br&#x3E;

Pixo: Xoti, what happened? You look strange.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Xoti: I look the way the watcher made me feel to look.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Pixo: The watcher?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Pixo: Yes. It watches.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Pixo: We are still only seeds. It came from outside to help us grow. It looks like how it made me.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;

Pixo: What&#x27;s that?!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Xoti: One of Tiro&#x27;s seeds, changed. The watcher gave him so much quick...&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Faxo: He&#x27;s huge.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Xoti: Yes, too much, I think. The watcher is still learning.</description>

[[A large, windowless hotel dominates a dark landscape.  It is early evening - the horizon is still red.  Wings of the hotel extend outwards from the side in serried, countable ranks, backwards to infinity.  The name &#x27;Hilton&#x27; is blazoned across the top in red, with the letter &#x27;H&#x27; replaced by an element of a Hilbert curve.  The sign over the door appears at first to read &#x27;no vacancy&#x27;, but closer inspection reveals the truth - the sign is actually advertising &#x27;aleph-null vacancy&#x27;. In front of the hotel, one end of an infinitely long tour bus is seen, disgorging antlike hordes of passengers who stream through the exceptionally wide yet finite door of the hotel.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Narrator: Hilbert&#x27;s Paradox of the Grand Hotel is a well-known mathematical thought experiment which explores some of the many nuances of infinity.  It posits a hotel with infinitely many rooms, occupied by infinitely many guests.  One night, an infinitely long tour bus arrives with infinitely many travellers, who each want to book a room.  This is not a problem...  &#x3C;br&#x3E;

[[In a column to the left are seen five red elements numbered sequentially from zero through four.  Arrows map these elements onto a sequentially-numbered column of ten on the right side, with zero mapping onto zero, one mapping onto two, two onto four, etc.  The odd numbered elements in this column are green, to show that they were not part of the original set, while the original elements remain red.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;

&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[Hario skips down a curving path towards a distant castle.  The path is blocked by frowning mushrooms.  Hario has just squashed one by hopping on it. The next one is wearing glasses.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[In the background we see a flattened mushroom, with a pair of broken spectacles beside it.  -5 hovers in the air over the smashed mushroom, and its eyes have turned to xx.  The bunny jumps into the air, straight toward another mushroom.  The foreground mushroom has a tiny sweat drop over it.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Hario: Woohoo!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[Hario has misjudged the jump, and flies through the air toward the foreground mushroom, arms waving desperately.  The mushroom frowns malevolently.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Hario:eep!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[Hario trips over the grinning mushroom, and falls to the ground, dead. -199 floats above.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Voiceover, from offscreen: Ha!  You SUCK!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[In a flashback framed in the panes of a window, we see that the preceeding was a videogame.  Two bunnies, one with perky ears, and one a lop, sit in front of a videogame console.  On the TV screen, we see &#x22;P1 Game Over&#x22;. Perky-ears is grinning.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Lop-ears:Grrr...&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Perky-ears: Dude, don&#x27;t you know how to double-jump?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Lop-ears [angrily]: Why do you always have to be such a dumb JERK?!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[The two bunnies from the front.  Perky-ears is still amused, holding the game controller.  Lop-ears&#x27; game controller is abandoned on the floor, and Lop-ears is sitting hunched over, arms crossed.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Perky-ears: I&#x27;m not being a jerk...  You just suck at Super Hario Sibs.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[Lop-ears stalks away, arms crossed.  Perky-ears turns to talk.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Perky-ears: Look, just let me show you how to...&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Lop-ears:  NO!  I&#x27;m sick of this STUPID GAME!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[Lop-ears is in bed, face hidden in the pillow.  There&#x27;s a spot moist with tears.  Moonlight shines through the window panes.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[The angle changes.  Through the window we see a winged bunny fairy gazing in, floating on a cloud of stars.  The fairy emerges through the window.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[The bunny fairy hovers over the bed, floating on the stars and waving a star-shaped magic wand.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Bunny Fairy: Wake up, child.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[The bunny fairy is frowning.  Lop-ears&#x27; face is still buried in the pillow.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[The frowning bunny fairy gestures with the wand.  Lop-ears sits up in bed.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Bunny Fairy: I said, WAKE UP!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Lop ears: huh?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[Lop-ears sits up in bed, looking dejected.  The Bunny Fairy hovers overhead, looking concerned.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Bunny Fairy:  Ahem... Uh, I am your fairy guardian.  Why are you crying, child?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Lop-ears: I had a fight with my cousin.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Bunny Fairy: Oh no!  What was this fight about?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Lop-ears: It&#x27;s stupid...  just over me being bad at a dumb video game.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[The bunny fairy brandishes the wand. The wand is beginning to sparkle.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Bunny Fairy: That is nothing to get too worked up over!  But I can grant you a wish.  Would you like to be the best at it so you can enjoy playing it with your cousin?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Lop-ears:  No...  it&#x27;s a stupid game.  I hate it.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[The bunny fairy looks interested.  The wand is fizzing away now.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Bunny Fairy: What game is so bad that you would not enjoy playing it well?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Lop-ears: Super Har...&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Bunny Fairy: SUPER HARIO SIBS?!  That&#x27;s the best game ever!  You have it?!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Lop-ears: Yeah, it&#x27;s in the living room.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Bunny Fairy: Okay, great!  &#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[The bunny fairy flies away, grinning cheerfully, leaving Lop-ears sitting on the bed.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[Lop-ears sits on the bed, looking more surprised than anything.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Bunny Fairy: (from offscreen) Goodness, how can anyone not love Super Hario?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[The darkened living room.  Perky-ears and the bunny fairy are playing Super Hario Sibs.  Both seem to be enjoying themselves immensely.  In the foreground, Lop-ears is seen from behind in silhouette, peeking around the edge of the doorway, watching them.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[Lop-ears is seen from the front, peeking cautiously around the corner of the door, looking sad and uncertain, face partly lit by the TV.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[Lop-ears steps halfway out from behind the edge of the door, still looking uncertain.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Lop-ears: C-  Can I play?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[Lop-ears and Perky-ears sit side by side, playing Super Hario Sibs.  The Bunny Fairy is nowhere in sight.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Perky-ears: (whispering) Thanks for granting my wish.</description>

Xoti: Father-father-father-father-father-father-father&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Xoti: Father there are new things on the dry land!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
&#x3C;br&#x3E;
[[Faxo is sprawled on the sandy bed of the ocean, looking at Xoti above him.]]&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Faxo: Xoti, why do you insist on such curiosity?&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Xoti: But father they were alive but opaque and solid!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Faxo: Nonsense.&#x3C;br&#x3E;
Xoti: And one of them *touched* me!&#x3C;br&#x3E;
