Forty-Ninth Theory [Action/Voice]

[Don has never been to an ocean before, and last time he was at an amusement park he had to electrify the roller coaster to defeat an enraged colony of nanobots.]

[He is determined that this excursion will be one of pleasant discovery.]

[To that end, he takes the teleporter to the beach on Thursday morning, and spends the next two days exploring the park, the waterfront, and as far out into the ocean as his own limbs can take him. (Or farther, if anyone is kind enough to offer him the use of a boat.)]

[At some point during the two days, he opens his journal and leaves the following message:]

Researchers, experimenters, tinkerers, inventors, curious people of all kinds... join the "Scientists, Hypothesizers, and Engineers of Luceti League". I'm starting it right now and everyone is welcome.

Oh? I didn't know you were interested in boat travel, Don.

I've been working on it all summer. [And now it looks like it won't happen until next year.] I guess I shouldn't expect boats to be readily available when we've only had an ocean for a few months.

I imagine it would be a pretty involved process to get the whole thing together. Too bad the ocean didn't come with its own fleet, huh?

[A faint laugh.] I like your optimism, Mr. Mulder.

Well, I try to keep an open mind.

[He sobers again.] I'll see you when you get back?

You will, count on it. I'm holding up ok over here.

[That's what he likes to hear.]

I'll talk to you soon, then. 'Bye, Mr. Mulder.
