"Good news, class," he announced as soon as they were all in. If anyone was wondering how there could be good news, it would be revealed in just a few moments. Yes, from Rimmer.

Careful and watch your heart monitors, folks.

"Today's scheduled class, a meeting with a thankfully holographic Inquisitor, will, due to last weeks horrifying nightmare of an experience, be postponed indefinitely. In fact, pretend I never mentioned it... unless, say, you happen to wake up one night to see a skull-like face looming over you insisting you justify your existence."

...

"Something like that. Anyway, today we'll be covering pleasure GELFs and I've even been so good as to provide you your own room for a touch of privacy."

Behind him, in fact, there were a number of doors, the exact number as there were students.

"This is to prepare you for dealing with such a creature should you meet them in the future, so that you're prepared. Attempt to sleep with the one you find here, however, and it will turn into a rather confused marsupial. Which one has been entirely left to choice, so good luck with that."

Re: Meet your GELF

Of course, it was really of little surprise to Valentine's subconscious (although her outward appearance would suggest that she thought something was clearly broken with the GELF) that what she found behind the door was an individual that seemed to falter occasionally in its resemblance to Ender to take on one more like Peter, and that it went, from there, into a discussion of political discourse where he knew that she knew that he knew that he wasn't really winning, it just seemed like he was because she was allowing it, but still took all the credit for himself anyway.

Afterward, the pleasure GELF probably felt pretty tired, because if there was one thing that Valentine desired most in a mate, it was sure as hell way too damn complicated.
