"This is something you should remember about the world young man, make conections and get people to owe you favors if you can. They often times go farther in life then the cash would have, but only if both sides are honest."

"It is the very reason that I have brought you and your familys here to the base of Mount Everest. For the kindness that you have shown me in my old age. It is how we will get to the top of the mountian. We wont be able to stay to long or the copter will freeze still but we will see the top of the world yet."

"There it is, our ride up. Now boy when they get here give them a good, strong, ferm handshake and tell them your name. First impressions are important so be polite and do not swear. Awnser any questions that they ask if you can but do not let yourself be taken advantage of OK?"

We were at a bar and I had just come down from my first trip up the mountian. Of course I had to celebrate the ocaison with those around me and bought the bar a round on me. As you might expect that made me the most popular person of the night and I was just enjoying the good company.

Then 2 men came up to me and we had a conversation about something that they wanted to build. It involved being able to save the people that get traped on the mountian and having once been stuck on a mountian myself I encouraged them and told them my story of dispare. Now I am no engenier or the like but I can spot flaws as well as any man. The fuel would freeze and you would fall I said which made them start to look for solutions. I have actually gone up the mountian like this once before on the madien voyage of the craft to test it. I am sure you will enjoy the view.

I certianly did on my first trip.
