All rights reserved. You can read the previous episode . Dear Ken, Last week, Harshan and I were summoned to a meeting with the Population Council for Hapdorn Province. On the way to the interview, I asked Harshan why that is. He took a moment out from driving the car to flash me one of his endearing smiles.
Population affects the planetary ecology.
It is a planetary issue, and it has to be handled on a planetary basis. I do remember some talk back on Earth on that subject, but so far as I know, it's handled by the individual countries. They should at least coordinate it. At first, I was nervous when the summons arrived, because I was afraid they were going to review my immigration status, or even Darryl's, and I have to admit to a small nagging fear that they might want to send us back to Earth. Then I decided that they probably wanted to urge us to become naturalized Thorgelfaynese.
