"You're not pro-zombie?" said the Chief, half-rising.

"I'm pro nothing," said Jolson. "Well? Is this what you want?"

The Junior Chief moved up to study him. "That's wonderful." He glanced at Prittikin. "A little more
suffering around the eyes?"

"Yes," agreed the Chief. He motioned to Jolson. "Walk up to me and let's see how you register."

Jolson walked. "Okay?"

"Beautiful," said Chief Prittikin. "I buy it. Could you fake the chin just a bit, make it a little more
positive?"

"Like this?"

The Chief popped up, patting himself on the backside. "I'm abundantly satisfied. I know this is an image
that's going to sell."

"Definitely," said Azeler. "Now, Jolson, you can report to our Indoctrination Cottage for some sleep-
briefing and a quick course in Cutler's voice and background. You'll be on tomorrow's rocket to
Barafunda, arriving on the morning of the day after. That will give you a couple of days to work on
Jennifer Crosby before the reception."

"Be sure not to get in the way of our other pressure groups," said Prittikin.

"Tell them the same for me," said Jolson. He took a last look at the still running films of F. Scott Cutler
and walked to the door.

Azeler came alongside him. "I'll escort you to Indoctrination."

"By the way," said Jolson, "do you have any information on a guy named Jose Terranova?"

The Junior Chief reached for the door lever. "He's a citizen of Barafunda, isn't he?"

"Yeah," said Jolson. "When I was at the Chameleon Corps Senior Academy I used to follow his exploits.
I just thought of him now. He was Baratunda's greatest romantic figure. A great operator. I admired him."

"A thoughtless womanizer and playboy," said Azeler. "He dropped from sight several years ago." He
turned to face the Chief. "I'll report back shortly."

"Excellent," said Prittikin, laughing. "I'm really very happy with the way this has gone so far."

"So far," said Jolson, following Azeler into the quiet green corridor.
