... intensely, so I couldn't do that. I'm the village Safety Officer now and very happy doing it. I haven't encountered anything dangerous on the ground yet, other than a few shouting matches that got out of hand. I walk around the village two or three times a day, making sure everything is in order and everybody is all right, then I coach tennis, basketball, and other sports when the kids get out of school. I don't see any way I could be happier. Since I was the Chief Pilot, I also drive the weekly 'bus' between villages. A lot of people might be upset, going from piloting a starship to driving a ground vehicle that can only manage fifty kilometers (30 miles) an hour. I just think it's kind of funny. Sometimes I'll say, "3, 2, 1, IGNITION!" as my sleepy snail of a machine takes over five seconds to reach jogging speed. The villages were built 30 kilometers apart to prevent all of us from being wiped out by a fire, flood, or other disaster. It’s still close enough to walk from one village to the next in half a day or drive the 'bus' in about an hour.

Please consider that I come from a culture where people are more honest and open than most. I hope you won't be offended if I'm too direct for you. A lot of people see the term 'Technologist' and think of things like advanced flying robots and wireless power networks. We brought a lot of modern technology on the ship, but what happens if your advanced robot breaks down and you don't have spare parts? Or an electronics factory to make parts? Or even bricks to build a factory? Advanced modern devices are only a small part of what we do. We study technology, as in tools and methods, all the way from the stone age to the most modern. I and the two other Technologists on our mission plan to focus on the simple things first. We need basic tools to produce food and homes. Tie a rock to a stick and you have a crude but useful hammer. Break a rock a few times so it has a sharp edge, tie it to a stick, and you have a primitive axe. Split two branches in half and tie them together in a rectangle, and you have a frame for making bricks. Pull some grass or vines and weave them, and you have a basket, rope, or a ...
