"Morning," Hawkeye greeted everyone as they entered. He was wearing clothes, but they were obscured by his maroon bathrobe. He had a cup of coffee in his hand. "Professor Lyman's not back yet, so you're stuck with me. I won't subject you to what I think about the United States government, because chances are a lot has changed since my time. Today's project is an interactive one. Sign in and pick a state. Don't double up. You're now the Senator for that state. You've been elected by the people in your state to represent them on a national level. The issue of the day is that there's been a slump in the economy and we can't keep importing goods to save our collective tushes. The states have something that other states want. Interact with each other and, as representatives for your state, try to get as good a deal as you can out of your negotiations."

Sam wasn't drooling over the prospect. Really. "I most definitely could. And give them relocation bonuses." Moving was expensive and the market was competitive.

"You'd have to really. At least it won't cost as much as moving them across an ocean," Elizabeth nodded. "UCONN's a pretty good school too." She checked her laptop. "Ooh, and we're also good for fabricated metal products and transportation equipments. I've seen them moving those shuttles around, y'know!"

"Good to know," Sam nodded. "Want some citrus?'

"Citrus is good," Elizabeth nodded.
