WIT XIV 2006: Scientific Progress Goes 'Boink'

Rumfoord asks in a friendly voice if Unk recognizes him. Unk guesses that the friendly man might be Stony. Rumfoord laughs at this and says he wishes he were. The rest of Unk's regiment takes off in their ships, leaving him behind. Unk asks the man's name, but Rumfoord tells him that names do not matter. Rumfoord tells Unk a story. ................
