WEB OF DIONARA-
PAGE1-
GARTH- professor it this professor bidle is so brilliant why doe he live in this squalor?
PROF. LUMIERE- because he cannot be tolerated elsewhere, you will see for yourself.
[professor lumiere [along with Garth ]a in a rundown apartment building knocks on the door of an apartment]
Professor bidle opens the door-‘ oh! It is you professor lumiere , thought it was that damn loan shark, come in and have a chair ,if you can find one[b162]
IN a cheap south London apartment-
LUMIERE- bidle why did you call me?
Bidle- because you are only one of the few scientists who are not bookish…
…now I urgently need a fearless and capable volunteer.
LUMIERE-WHAT for?
BIDLE – OH! I will use his spirit by mental transference to outer space to save four young people from a slow and painful death![b-163]
LUMIERE- bidle do you mean to say that you would transport in to deep space   a human spirit by separating it from its living body?
BIDLE- yes! Lumiere I have established mental contact with a friend on planet ‘TISHO’
GARTH-‘TISHO”where is that?
50 LIGHT YEARS AWAY IN SPACE MU FRIEND ALGOL IS THE CHIEF PRIEST AND FIRST LAMA IN THE COURT OF NEFREZ-2
GARTH-[thinking] had my brain scrambled! Answer to question from an eccentric! [B-164]
SUDDENLY-
BIDLE- OH! It seems my friend is on thought processing beam, excuse me gentlemen!
[bidle goes in to a trance like state]
GARTH- professor this bidle seems to be a somewhat mysterious character .
PROFESSOR- I think he has some screw loose in his brain!
Bidle establishes contact with sage algol on faraway planet ‘tisho’
Algol- bidle i can hear your voice ,have you found the man?
Bidle- yes ! but he does not know anything ,he is beside me now[[b-165]
PAGE-2
THOUGHT transference between two people---
“This is very important bidle our space chariot has strayed  in to space along with our emperor’s daughter!put this volunteer on the job immediately.is he reliable?
Bidle-yes algol he is very strong and wise.
Bidle [coming out of his trance like state] repeats the message received from algol
Professor – and bidle where would you find your space volunteer?
Bidle- he is here only… your friend Garth, that is why I had asked you to bring him along with you![b-166]
Garth-so you want to use me as a scapegoat in your work in this space related madness?
Bidle- yes I do! But don’t tell  me that you are afraid?
Garth- first tell me what this is all about?
Lumiere- keep in mind that bidle is a genius but he is slightly irresponsible.
Bidle[angrily]- irresponsible? You call me irresponsible? I who provided enough materiel to two noble laureates, for free to help them win the prize?[b-167]
Valdo biddle tells his story-
‘This trouble strated 50 years ago when ‘tisho’ was afflicted by a contagious fungus!
50 years ago emperor neferiz is on inspection tour of his planet tisho-
Algol- neferiz! This fungus is spreading everywhere, there will be no life left in tisho In a span of 100 years!
Neferiz-sage algol you will have to stop this![b-168]
Sage algol don’t you have any method to stop this from spreading?
None! My emperor, I even summoned the demonic powers of ‘acra’ , but nothing happened!
Fungus has spread to plains of ‘ikerana’,our crops are getting ruined!
Neferiz- algol can’t you stop this? Don’t you remember what happened to your predecessor priest?
He could not foretell the earth quake 10 years back and I had him boiled in oil!
Algol- [timidly] - I remember my emperor!
PAGE-3
Algol- there is one solution to the havoc caused by the fungus emperor, my astrologers have found the existence of a planet 50 light years away, where people of Tisho can live, and we must send a group of pioneers to inhabit on this planet.
Emperor- what happens to the rest?
Algol-we would probably all be dead of hunger and old age before they reach that planet all our existence will be wiped out. [B-170]
O neferiz! To propagate our race on the new planet we must send a young maiden and three young men-[continues algol]
…………will   be the maiden.
Neferiz- quiet! Algol , I choose my rebellious youngest daughter moya!
She is refusing to wed the man I have chosen for her, come let us return to the palace! [b131]
The youngest daughter of emperor of Tisho, moya  [facing furious father]----- NO  father I will not marry
Oclid,he is old and fat and his breath stinks
Neferiz- QUIET!HE has 50 kaldars of warriors and ten thousand slaves
Moya  - I am not concerned with all that, I  will not marry that fatso!
Neferiz- then, by god I will give you three husbands!
Send her to that new planet, this is my order algol![b-132]
Algol[to moya]- obey your father moya marry oclid
Moya- I will prefer death, send me to that new plant you were talking about!
Garth- you mean to say that emperor sent his own daughter in to space?
Bidle- yes Garth, it was a battle of principles in which moya was the victor!
Garth- good for her, how did she fare in space dr., bidle?
Bidle -.I am telling you , let me narrate the story in my own way!
