	Rina snorts. Three hours? What could possibly require three hours to look presentable? She gets her answer when Christian exits his quarters. He’s transformed into a blonde bobby soxer, complete with cashmere sweater, poodle skirt, bobby socks and oxfords. He doesn’t look like a man in drag, he looks like a woman.<br>		Rina snorts.

	Christian introduces Lem to Valenci next, stating Lem is his adopted son. Valenci greets him and we get right along with the visit. Valenci is a good and gracious host and serves us drink and Hors D’oeuvres. Christian regales Valenci with a somewhat sanitized version of our adventures. Not that there’s much point in too much censorship—our faces were all over the Second Miranda Waves. And by degrees Christian leads us to the purpose of our visit. He mentions that Jake, as a reality show cameraman, is very interested in getting backstage at the show tomorrow night. We happen to be bringing a couple of contestants to the show, having booked passage with us, and they have gotten Jake interested in going. This would be a great opportunity for Jake. And here’s Valenci, one of judges of the show….<br>		Christian introduces Lem to Valenci next, stating Lem is his adopted son. Valenci greets him and we get right along with the visit.

	Rina: It’s a match made in Heaven.<br>		'''Rina:''' It’s a match made in Heaven.<br>
	Valenci: If you wish I can make the producers aware of your presence. They’ll probably want to do a cameo interview with you, pan you in the audience, ask if you’re enjoying the show, that sort of thing. And perhaps ask what your opinion is.<br>		'''Valenci:''' If you wish I can make the producers aware of your presence.

	Arden: That’s part of the fun.<br>		'''Arden:''' That’s part of the fun.<br>

	Christian chuckles with Valenci and then admits he’s surprised to find a figure of Valenci’s stature involved in such a show. Valenci shrugs and says his agent insists on keeping his face on the Cortex on occasion. Valenci would be happy just doing live shows. Usually that isn’t an issue on Paquin, but with fewer and fewer ships arriving with greater gaps between each one, especially with the epidemic and such, it’s resulted in a loss of business in general. So anything that might drum up business would be welcome.<br>		Christian chuckles with Valenci and then admits he’s surprised to find a figure of Valenci’s stature involved in such a show.

	Valenci agrees and goes on to observe that Paquin has always been one of the richest planets outside the Core and as such, can make good on that claim. Of course, he adds, one Navy cruiser would be sufficient to wipe out Paquin’s entire security force. Valenci goes on to say that his political contacts are saying that the Blue Sun quarantine is just an attempt to bolster people’s political ambitions here, that they really don’t anticipate anything large happening but if they can make the population think that the Alliance is turning its back on us, then they can take advantage of that for their own political aims.<br>		Valenci agrees and goes on to observe that Paquin has always been one of the richest planets outside the Core and as such, can make good on that claim.

	Rina: What was it that Mike said once? “Opportunities are sometimes disguised as obstacles”.<br>		'''Rina:''' What was it that Mike said once? “Opportunities are sometimes disguised as obstacles”.<br>

	Valenci asserts that he doesn’t believe the leaders of Paquin have any desire to be cut off from the Alliance but it makes good copy. It certainly makes for a good argument for increasing taxes to fund Paquin’s military budget. But, Valenci adds, he’s not privy to all their secrets. He doesn’t quite have the passage as the lovely and talented Christian into such circles. Arden says that Valenci is still quite the impresario. Valenci demurs, saying that such is not the so much the case these days, hence his being on the judging panel of a talent show. However, if we can make it back to Paquin in a month, he should be performing something worth seeing.<br>		Valenci asserts that he doesn’t believe the leaders of Paquin have any desire to be cut off from the Alliance but it makes good copy.
