"Ok Joshua. You've been doing very well this week. Your control is most impressive. Now let's really test you." Ateia pointed to seven containers along the far wall. "Lift all of them. And try to keep them at about the same height from the floor." Joshua did as asked. The seven objects slowly lifted from the floor. And as they did, music began to play over the sound system in the gym. Kirk smiled as the sounds of Marvin Gaye filled the room. The last time he'd heard this was when he'd first met Magenta. He smiled at the memories of his first meeting with Magenta Montal. Ateia then wrapped her arms around Joshua's neck and began whispering obscene things in his ear. After several seconds of that, she jumped up and began to dance provocatively before him. The doors to the gym slammed open and Mala and Nani, who'd been hiding outside came running in, peppering Joshua with questions. "Joshua, who is this singing?" Mala asked excitedly. "Marvin Gaye." He told her. "He was one of the best, if not the best, singers of his time." "Joshua!" Nani cut in quickly. "That swoopbike you bought me keeps losing power when I hit the accelerator suddenly. What do you think is wrong with it?" "Sounds like the connection to the power converter is loose. We'll check it later today." "Who do you think is the best actor ever?" Mala continued. "Humphrey Bogart. Without a doubt!" "Who do you consider the worst musical act of all time?" Nani asked. Figrin D'an And The Modal Nodes!" He said disgustedly. "Come on, Nani! Fifteen hundred people committed suicide after their last show here on Coruscant. They been banned from ever performing again. They are now listed as a threat to galactic civilization." "What's the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?" Mala shouted. "African, or European?" "What was the funniest movie ever made?" Nani asked as she poked him in the shoulder with her finger. "The Trials Of Joshua Kirk!" He shot back instantly. "It's also the worst movie ever made! It was supposed to be about my life up to the attempt to court martial me. It got nothing right about me. Including my name! Joshua Cicero Kirk, indeed.! Only time I ever saw my Uncle Spock laugh in public! That's how bad it was." "OK, ok!" Ateia said with a laugh after five minutes of this. "You girls can stop now. He's passed this test." "How did I do?" The man asked. "Obi Wan couldn't have done it!" The tall Jedi said with a grin. "Your concentration is amazing!" "Well, the truth is, I can work on several problems at one time with this brain of mine." Joshua jerked his head in Mala's direction. "She could have come in here with all her sisters and danced about and pestered me with questions, and it would never have made a difference. As long as I kept a part of my brain focused on those containers, they would stay up in the air." "That's an amazing brain you have there." Nani said. "The most advanced ever designed." Kirk said. "Hey, short stuff!" Denise Williamson shouted from the door. "Get you ass off the floor and head for the infirmary! There's a baby on the way!" Joshua was instantly on his feet, and out the door, quickly followed by Mala. Ateia and Nani watched them sprint down the hall. The girl turned to her mother and shrugged. "Shall we?" She asked. "Why not?" Her mother smiled, before jogging down the corridor.
