A game of Mercuryball has five quarters! PL OK, thank you.

Dr. Dale has two lines in chapter 10 as well - part of the screaming crowd.

Whoops. Missed that, sorry. Should be able to do it over the weekend.

Like hockey, two half-times!

No nonsense Dr. Dale, calm and certain. PL OK, thanks.

(I had bobbled the MW a bit for the part in chapter 10. That may be why you didn't notice that one.)

It's really too bad Dr. Dale gets so few lines in this series. If she can invent hyperdrive she should be given the lead in a few chapters. But - 1950s - whatcha gonna do?

Clicking of the monorail

Magnetic Levitation bearings would be more likely!

PL OK. You got to read a solid page of plot development in there; yay.

Just having welded, instead of bolted, rails would have cut the clicking. That technology existed way back in 2024. Also, Roger rolls out some of his finest pickup lines. It's shocking to discover those lines never succeed.

I quite agree. But at least they gave her a little bit of credit...

No nonsense, indeed. But also not given to shouting much, so her cheering sounds a bit uncertain. I amplified as much as I could to make up for it. Let me know if that's an issue or if you want me to try harder for some abandon (imagining the Canucks lifting the cup just didn't do it

).

Pity. I hear rumours that we may be facing the Predators in the first round (where we will trounce them just as we did in the second round in 2011...)

It's PL OK, thanks.

Your processing made it sound kind of gritty, which should be fine as part of a crowd scene. Also, your voice will be stacked up with 5 others, and I have no idea how that will turn out until I have all the voices and try to mix them together. Crossing my fingers.

Chapter 12 narration is PL OK - thanks for including the line I missed marking as yours.

I'll be swapping in one of your readings of Stand By For Mars! for the lighter reading you gave the title in the first couple chapters. I think a bit of echo might fit in as well. :-)
