Ellie Arroway's office, Friday Morning

[stargazer_ellie]

Ellie was in her office, idly wondering if the "Vegans" would send her some, you know, nice guest speakers for a change.

Marco double checked the room number and knocked.

[stargazer_ellie]

"Come in," Ellie called out.

[morpherboy]

"Mrs. Arroway? Uh...hi. I'm Marco. A student here?"

[stargazer_ellie]

"Hello, Marco," Ellie said. "What can I help you with?"

[morpherboy]

"You teach the alien thing class, right?"

[stargazer_ellie]

"Extraterrestrial Civilizations, yes," Ellie said, nodding.

[morpherboy]

"I was uh, wondering which species you studied?'

[stargazer_ellie]

"Well, this particular class is focusing on a variety of worlds," Ellie said. "Why, is there a race in particular you're interested in?"

[morpherboy]

Marco shrugged. "I was just wondering if you covered Andelites? Or Hork-Bajar?"

[stargazer_ellie]

"Not as of yet," Ellie admitted. "But I'm never quite sure what my contacts are going to throw at me."

[morpherboy]

Marco sat very, very still. And possibly got ready to bolt. "Have you ever heard of them?'

[stargazer_ellie]

"The first one sounds familiar, but not the second," Ellie said. She peered at Marco. "Are you all right?"

[morpherboy]

"Oh yeah, fine." Marco replied causually. "So what races have you covered?'

[stargazer_ellie]

"The Draconian Empire, Ewoks, Saurons, Antar," Ellie said.

[morpherboy]

"Have you met any of these species?" Marco tried to sound innocently curious.

[stargazer_ellie]

"We have a guest speaker each week representing the race, yes," Ellie said.
