Braxiatel frowned, not at the Doctor's antics and suggestions (he'd have had a lot less tolerance for half of the known universe if that bothered him) but at mention of fixing a vortex manipulator. "I hope he doesn't succeed. It would be such a waste."
Without waiting for a reply, Braxiatel started up a new subject. "Do you think I should start a university here? On the Collection, I mean. It seems such a waste not to. We already have handfuls of students here on assorted research projects, of course, but there's no full colleges of any sort." The frown was back. Braxiatel was relieved but not yet at peace; he hadn't really been at peace since Dellah was destroyed. He now realized that more than his peace of mind, the Collection had to take precedent. "Students are always so much more irritating in practice. And it would pose something of a security risk to let our doors open to a flood of undergraduates."
