Historical accounts:

************5th floor- near Margaret's desk***************

Channa: We won?

Margaret: Yeah...Alingi made a tacking error,

Channa:....

Margaret: yeah...Alingi made a tacking error and Team New Zealand capitalised.

***********Meanwhile: on the 11th floor**************

"Ah...excuse me...Janet."

"Yes Siaan, How are you?", Janet articulated her words carefully and politely to Siaan.

"Well... I've found..ah...this book and I can't seem to find a place for it...um..It looks like"

"may I have a look?"

"Oh...that's interesting I wonder where...where it's from", her words trailed off as she entered deep contemplation...

James' first coffee for the day was kicking in and he was on route to the mens', but...'what's going on here?', he thought, as he saw what could be a situation to join.

He sidled up close, looking interested, confused and helpful.

"oh, hi James"

"what's going on???"

"Oh...Siaan found this...", she wouldn't let go of the book just yet. Instead she held it for James to view.

"Oh yeah....", James was clearly on to something here, he was so excited by his opportunity for contribution that Margaret and Siaan could feel it -and anticipation arrived...

"mmm..."..."yeah this looks like some sci fi book...yeah...I know this...I think I've seen the movie"

"Oh I wonder how it ended up here" said Margaret, "Can you maybe ask around to see who's it is Siaan?"

********************Meanwhile: in the elevator on route to the 12th floor*****************

I've pushed my trolley into a lift with some dude who's got this feeble, thin, long, brylcreemed and stylised fringe. Another dude is associated with him by floor and present vicinity- he looks at the papers ostentatiously, so as to start something.

"oh yip....we're on the way."

"yeah but can they do it again?"

Ding. They split as they go to their respective ends of the floor, but the fringe hasn't finished yet...

"Yeah...well Alingi have a better boat, great design...", his voice trails as the doors close. I sigh. Then I wack my head against the wall. Then check out the article. '1 each....I reckon we can do it. Alingi have the better boat, but we've got great sailers'
