                 (Bunny
                              gives us some background into her family
                              in which her father is the head of the
                              family Tenuvial which makes him both a
                              member of the Sirian Council and someone
                              of importance in the planetary system. Her
                              role as his daughter we find out lacks the
                              responsibilities of her siblings so we get
                              her perspective on Sirian life.)
 
 
 Russ: hey
                                  Bunny.
 
 Bunny: hello..
 
 Russ: so a horak?
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: and a bunny, how cute. It’s a
                                  mental picture.
 
 Bunny: uh-huh, a mental picture huh?
 
 Russ: you bet. Good, that’s quite
                                  fascinating, I like listening about
                                  the Tenuvial family.
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: and long does your little
                                  portion of this…..
 
 Bunny: I’ve never done my part.
 
 Russ: but you know it by heart so…….
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: really? That’s very good, how
                                  long does it take?
 
 Bunny: it takes five hours.
 
 Russ: geez.
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: and you learned it by heart?
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: you’re quite an actress.
 
 Bunny: I have to be.
 
 Russ: yes you do, that’s quite a
                                  script.
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: well I can’t wait to hear about
                                  your telling of the story someday.
 
 Bunny: oh.
 
 Russ: when does it happen? When is the
                                  next gathering of the family?
 
 Bunny: the next gathering of the
                                  family is on the conjunction of the
                                  sun and the moons.
 
 Russ: ahh, so sometime in the near
                                  future I take it?
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: okay, well good.
 
 Bunny: and everybody tells a part. For
                                  the family members that live far away
                                  they select an individual to tell
                                  their part.
 
 Russ: oh, hmm.
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: well if your part’s five hours
                                  long and there’s 3,000 family
                                  members….
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: well they can’t all be five
                                  hours long.
 
 Bunny: no.
 
 Russ: oh okay. I was going to say,
                                  you’d be basically living there for a
                                  year or so listening to this story.
 
 Bunny: uh-huh, it’s……our father is
                                  head of family.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Bunny: so as daughters and sons we
                                  have…
 
 Russ: oohhh, the longer parts.
 
 Bunny: that’s right.
 
 Russ: that’s right, I forgot.
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: ahh, okay. Hmm, now with your
                                  family, is it very structured as far
                                  as from the head of the family down?
 
 Bunny: the higher up in the family the
                                  more structured it is.
 
 Russ: okay so you have to go to
                                  specific family functions as a family
                                  member being as you’re daughter of the
                                  head of the family?
 
 Bunny: no.
 
 Russ: oh so you’re not like Karra
                                  where you have to do a certain role
                                  and all.
 
 Bunny: no, that goes to…….
 
 Russ: not your older sister, not
                                  Leah’s older sister?
 
 Bunny: the way it works is, on the
                                  climbing pole there is my father and
                                  my mother and then there is my biggest
                                  brother and then my biggest sister and
                                  they have important parts to play. And
                                  then there is Leah and she has a
                                  little part to play and there’s me and
                                  my little brother, we don’t get to
                                  play any parts except for at really
                                  big family functions.
 
 Russ: what are you going to do then,
                                  tell your story?
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: that's it.
 
 Bunny: uh-huh so I can get away with
                                  wriggling around at family meetings.
 
 Russ: oh yes, not for long.
 
 Bunny: I can get away with it as long
                                  as I want.
 
 Russ: (laughs) okay so your family is
                                  important as far as trade and things
                                  go on Sirius I take it?
 
 Bunny: sorry?
 
 Russ: well with the fishing, the
                                  things like that, your family has a
                                  part to play itself in the whole grand
                                  scheme of Sirius.
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: right, so is there any part of
                                  that that you are responsible for?
 
 Bunny: nope.
 
 Russ: oh okay. So you don't have to
                                  learn the family business or
                                  something?
 
 Bunny: nope.
 
 Russ: you lucky girl.
 
 Bunny: uh-huh, it’s not expected of
                                  me.
 
 Russ: ahhh.
 
 Bunny: I can sun myself on the beach
                                  all day, I can go to college for as
                                  long as I want, I can…..
 
 Russ: gallivant around the galaxy.
 
 Bunny: uh-huh, I can get joined as
                                  much as I want and nobody can say a
                                  word.
 
 Russ: so in other words there is no
                                  such thing as family scandals?
 
 Bunny: you want to hear family
                                  scandals?
 
 (Russ starts laughing)
 
 Bunny: I heard a story a while ago of
                                  a family that the head lady, the head
                                  lady, I think the head is quite
                                  appropriate in this story was.........
 
 Russ: I won’t wonder who’s that family
                                  is.
 
 bunny: I know who’s family it
                                  is……..oww, hmm.
 
 Russ: so anyway.
 
 Bunny: yes it was that family.
 
 Russ: that’s too funny.
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: with that in mind then
                                  basically, have you had a chance to
                                  really get out and explore the galaxy
                                  at all or no, not really?
 
 Bunny: no, the only part I’ve seen of
                                  the galaxy is from my chambers.
 
 Russ: so you haven’t been to the city
                                  ships yet at all?
 
 Bunny: city ships, no.
 
 Russ: oh yeah? You plan on going
                                  someday?
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: yeah? Okay good.
 
 Bunny: uh-huh, I’ll make a tour.
 
 Russ: well it’s funny, even down here
                                  we know what the city ships kind of
                                  are setup as, as far as their……
 
 Bunny: yeah, they could do with some
                                  rest and relaxation, I’ll liven things
                                  up.
 
 Russ: yes I'm sure you will dear.
 
 Bunny: uh-huh.
