Josh leaned up against a desk in the Danger Room, hands in his pocket and a grin on his face.

"President Andrew Jackson, in the main foyer of his White House, had a big block of cheese and I can't believe I'm giving this speech," he began. "He did not, sadly, have a cracker the size of Lake Tahoe. I checked. My old boss, the White House Chief of Staff, used this folksy excuse to make us all talk to total crackpots once a year and today that privilege falls to you."

He waved his hands. "Pick a desk, make yourself comfortable, the computer'll drop someone insane off to talk to you. Try not to laugh in their faces--they're all based on real people. Um, sadly."

"But that's what everyone else does," she whined.

"Because it tends to work?" Will suggested. "If you have any other ideas about what more can be done to protect the wolves, you can always come back and suggest them to whoever's at the desk here."

"Fine," they said, clearly disappointed. "Thank you for your time."
