234It was the following day of the night of sex. Rachel sat with Stephanie, Luke, and George before the project%u2019s panel. Barbara and Alfred were not among them. Gordon stood up and took the microphone.%u201cI have some sad news. Two members of our panel have resigned.%u201d He announced.He said their names and then addressed the four young people. %u201cI am sad to say our section of the project has come to a close. But, as part of the signed agreement, your accommodation and monthly payments will continue to honoured for six months from now. You may leave.%u201dOutside Rachel kissed George and Luke, as Stephanie did, and waited with her until cars came for them and took them away. She turned to Stephanie and said, %u201cSteph. What will you do now?%u201d%u201cTravel, I think. Rich now, so I can go and see the world. You?%u201d%u201cI%u2019m not certain yet. I know I%u2019m rich but my mind is still burning with curiosity. And I love imagining too. I think I might become a writer and create naughty books.%u201d%u201cWhat? Porn?%u201d %u201cYes. Why not. And I might spread my legs more often to give me references and moments to write about. Would you like to be a character in my first one?%u201d Rachel told her.%u201cOh, yes. I would be honoured. I%u2019ll keep in contact with you.%u201dThey kissed again and parted.End.The Search For Consciousness
