PNS: Rita Trevalyan here with Oliver Pennstroke III, PhD from the United Kingdom. How are you tonight Dr. Pennstroke?
Pennstroke: Fine, but call me Oliver. Dr. Pennstroke is my father, a famous surgeon, doncha know?
PNS: Oh, yes, internationally famous. He made history by transplanting an ear that was grown on a rat’s back to a human who had lost his ear in an auto accident. Where did you get your degree, and what is your area of specialization?
Pennstroke: Cambridge, and exoanthropology.
PNS: So the UN Space Agency knew aheady that there was likely to be or there had been intelligent life on Proserpina, and they were likely to be humanoid?
Pennstroke: Oh, yes. The probes sent by NASA discovered this straightaway, and they generously shared the news with the entire world. But we didn’t discover the exact nature of the humanoids until well after we had landed. Several of the women reported having disturbing and very vivid dreams about them, and Fran reported having seen something move in her peripheral vision while out examining how the constellations look while several million kilometers away from Earth.
PNS: Pennstroke, that’s a rather unusual surname. Do you know anything about its origin?
Pennstroke: Oh, yes. I had an ancestor who was a scribe in the court of Henry VIII around the time of our Reformation. He had been a churchman, but after the Reformation he was encouraged to leave the Church and take a wife. So he did. She was one of the Hampton maidservants. That’s how my family got started.
PNS. Fascinating What lies ahead for your mission?.
Pennstroke: We will be doing some more exploration of the planet to see if there are other tribes hidden underground in other places. We know there are at least two tribes. We suspect there must be more.
PNS: You heard it here first, folks. Stay tuned next week when we will have another exciting interview with another member of the intrepid Proserpina Exploration team.
