Carrots'Good afternoon, sir. It has been a while. I had calculated your safe return at zero point two five percent.''Yep, I missed you too, buddy. It's been a late one. Got any mail for me?'Tony brought up the main menu screens of his holographic computer system, blitzing through the tabs with his palm as he pulled on a fresh shirt. He had some new scratches on his chest and his left arm was aching from all the quick steering in the air today. (Say, Rhodey, I'll call you back, I'm about to fly into a mountain.) For once, he wasn't in the mood to work on a project, or even to draw up some blueprints for the next one. Tonight was different. He'd a

Not that the locals knew what she was actually digging for.When he crashed, she felt the shockwave from fifty miles away and smiled. Would he never learn? Still, she had to admit she kind of liked his madcap driving. It reminded her almost of herself, back in the days of fast cars and slow Ponds.

They sat him there, chattering in some primeval language abo
