Hoping
to slip into Canada unnoticed, John E. Lester (aka Pathfinder Linden), flew from
Boston via Linea Aerea Nacional de Chile through Santiago, stopping at JFK then on to
Toronto's Pearson Airport. Hiding his bright yellow eyes with dark sunglasses
and with a large Matrix-style coat covering his wings, he slipped
surreptitiously into the Reluctant Quester's (aka Marty Keltz's) Subaru Forester.
RQ and Path were on a mission. Long
known for its global domination of animation, and coincidentally Ms. Frizzle's
birthplace...they were there to foment revolution...and make machinima, easily
produced in Second Life, the animation tool of choice. Down with MIA, 3D Max,
flash and Pixar, relocate Linden Lab to Hollywood, feign an offer to Jeffrey
Katzenberg, get the expected turn down, and give Path the job as studio head.
RQ would supervise script development.
Anticipating future glory, Path clutched
RQ's Emmy, smiled conspiratorially, and allowed himself to be photographed in
front of a poster of Indian In The Cupboard. The next time he would hold an
Emmy it would be his and after that maybe even an Academy Award.
