Meetup at Barrier Gate

[fabreth]

Nick at first is astonished, then he bursts in laugh, following Jimmy's

"All right, is that a joke? I mean.. a base.. well if it's true, maybe I found someone crazier than me!"

He grins.. he still thinks that was a joke, but he plays along. After all, his hyperspace nonsense may seem an elaborate joke as well.

"So your trips really are worthwile! Anyway, the construction of a base needs time, manpower, resources... and in all that you'll give me access and a lab all mine? Well, what do they say? Crazy people get along well!"

He was still on the "joke side" of things, but from the expressions on Jimmy's face he starts to believe that he really was serious about that.
