A trip to William

Written by: Giles   

I’ve left the Cavern for the time being. Will has requested my help with some experiment he wants to complete before he transitions to an explorer from a technology person. Or has he fondly likes to call himself “Grand High Tinkerer of Tiny Things”.

I sometimes can’t even begin to understand him, however I must admit here, if not to him, that I am looking forward to someone nearby while I work. I have been so isolated for the longest time, perhaps it will stir my creativity to have him there. Just so long as he lets me work, although I don’t see that as a problem. Once will starts playing with some device, he goes into the same zone that I apparently do while writing.

Hmm…it looks like he has a lot of electronic equipment he will need. This may pose a problem on the generators that are already strained… I may have to find alternate sources of electricity.  Perhaps I should let William figure out that problem. If there’s anyone who can pull electricity from the most unlikely places, it’s him. And Nikola Tesla.

“Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.”

Good to hear you’re still ok.
I did have to laugh about Will’s personal title and the comment about Tesla.
And who is the author of that quote?

Does Will hail from Gnomeregan by any chance?

“I did have to laugh about… the comment about Tesla. And who is the author of that quote?”

Ironic, Nicola STILL doesn’t get any credit… for his theories… or his philosophy! :-}

While we have little control of the great discoveries we will be remembered for, what is more important is that we keep searching and exploring. Discoveries will then come naturally.

Besides, Nikola Tesla’s name is synonymous with man-made lightning. How cool is that?!

@Henry: Ok, I admit, I know of Tesla and what he’s done for electronics and science in general, but I don’t really know any of his quotes, so cut a guy some slack (please).

Is now a bad time to mention that the only quotes I seem to remember are from Back to the Future, Monty Python, or one of the Mel Brooks films. :-~

Oh, by the way since I haven’t said it: Welcome to the Cavern, Will! While the D’ni and the ages may seem intimidating at first, you’ll find that a culture has grown here which is both familiar and fantastic. :-D

Thanks, Will. I’m glad to know I’m not alone in that regard.

P.S. Thank you for the welcome GD! :) I havent actually wrapped up my work at home yet, (I think Giles is getting antsy, he keeps writing in this big notebook!) We’ll be moving down soon, with a lot of equipment! I wanted to get some friends to help but PG said no, security or privacy or something, who knows!
