Then there was the time Viola DeRama—

Gray
Alright! Alright! I get the general idea. Do you think this emergency message is more of the same?

Who can say? Vi did accurately report a sighting of the bison known as Rosie last spring and it was exciting to learn that Rosie now has a calf.

Ms. DeRama also zeroed in on Neva Riviera when that lady was here last winter to discuss geothermal research projects. No one paid attention at the time, especially when Viola said that she and Neva spent a very pleasant half hour chatting about Neva’s new shoes—but it did turn out to be true. Rumor has it that the Yellowstone Ministry of Mysteries would have dearly loved to have had a word with Ms. Riviera.

Gray
So this meeting today may be a complete waste of time!

Beadle
Yes, but since the lady herself has just arrived, let’s find out what she wants.
