Again St. at Recur Rd.

[Mach Thomberi]

Bwhat?  Typical American pussy.  First you tell us you're no longer human.
 Got me frankly all hot in the pants about doing the same.  I got no
particular fondness for the humankind.  I'll step on out.  But now you're
stopping you're research, because of this Lee Kun-hee?  (This guy?

) He's
not your concern, kid, trust me.  He might be the soul of civil, but he's
not stepped across anything, except more than his share of martinis of blue
pills.  I was waiting to see what further thing you morphed into.  But I
ain't waiting til the frikkin equinox.  That's untrue too whatever paranoia
you got going on there abouts.  So the paranoia got the best of you.
