PNS: Good Evening! Rita Trevalyan here with another member of the Proserpina Exploration Team or PET. Like all the others, Dr. Sanches has a PhD. What is your area of expertise, Dr. Sanches?
Paolina: :Cultural Anthropology, and call me Paolina. Dr. Sanches is my uncle.
PNS: Were you excited when you found out that Proserpina had living, breathing people living underground in the lava tubes surrounding Proserpina City?
Paolina: Oh, yes, very excited.
PNS: Did it take you very long to get to communicate with them?
Paolina: Oh, no it didn’t, once Winnie had a handle on the language, it didn’t take long at all. And Marcel invented a pocket translator which translated English into Proserpinan and vice versa, since that was the language we all used.
PNS: And then there was the night of the falling stars. You discovered something very important was going on in your private lives then, didn’t you?
Paolina: Oh, yes. That was the night our contraceptive measures failed, and we both became pregnant.
PNS: You and--
Paolina: Nadyezhka and I. But it did not slow us down too much. Nin Hao invented artificial uteri for us to put out embryos in.
PNS: So you did not consider terminating your pregnancies.
Paolina: Of course not! I am a good Catholic girl!
PNS:But the contraceptives.
Paolina: The Pope has become more pragmatic in the last few years, no? My priest himself blessed the injection I took. But it failed after only a year and it was supposed to last for five years.
PNS: Were they healthy when they were born?
Paolina: We say decanted, because they were not born the regular way, no? Very healthy babies, and we are raising them together so they are like sisters.
PNS: Both girls?
Paolina Si. both girls, so perfect, and afterwards we get married.
PNS:how splendid for you. Did the Proserpina people meet your babies?
Paolina: They love them. They love babies. The race, it does not matter.
PNS Race shhould not matter to anyone. Thank you Paolina. Next week we’ll interview another member of this charming team. Same bat time, same bat channel:
