Science fiction: The director will see you now
“She’s a political appointee. She won’t have a clue.” Leonarda Loos, former principal investigator on the Lunar SETI project, brushed down her jacket.
“Leonarda, Simon — so good of you to spare the time. Sit, sit.” Farside director Liz Calvert indicated the visitors’ chairs. “So, you’re here to tell me about blind injections. I’m a bit worried — I don’t like needles.” She laughed at her own joke.“It’s simple, really,” said Loos. “The signals we’re looking for are on the edge of detectability. Scientists are fallible. It’s easy for wishful thinking to take over, especially with as emotive a subject as the search for extraterrestrial life.
“It’s a simple system,” said Traynor. He touched an icon on the screen. “I just enter a date and time and a few simple parameters here, then press the go button.”“I’m sorry, director, we can’t,” said Loos. “If you know that we’ve done it, the injection is not blind.”“No, of course not,” said Loos, hoping she was loud enough to cover Traynor’s inevitable ‘Yes’.Loos shrugged and pushed Traynor aside. She set a series of parameters and touched the ‘Store’ button.
