@Aisling Toma smiled. "Sure." From outside the window, they could see a bunch of impaled people.

Mystique went pure white and became shakey.
"Does impalement happen very often?"

@Aisling "In wartimes, yes, but you don't have to be afraid," Toma answered. "My daddy only impales enemies and criminals. Murderers, rapists,... this is what scared the Turks away when my daddy was human, and it's actually lowering the crime rate. Since my daddy took over, Romania has become one of the safest countries in the world, concerning criminality."

"I can't stand the sight so I'll face away from it. Now let's get the various parts out. Here are the balls that represent the different planets, the sun. See the tiny cords at each end of each ball? We can plug them into the different spots and they will light up after we get them together." Mystique placed the balls in one area. She nodded to loan to do the same.
"These are the arms which will hold the planets up and where each planet can be plugged in. This is the base which will control motion of the arms. Here are the various nuts, bolts, blocks, and such. Let's see the instructions....
Start with placing the main rod in the control box. slide the plastic sleeve on the main rod, making sure that the slits line up with the holes in the rods....."

@Aisling Ioan had already begun building his one. "I'm not new to this..." Toma did as much as he could before he got too exhausted to continue.

"Then you will be done before me." Mystique spoke as she placed the numbered branches into the slots then the sparkly black sleeve over the branch. Lastly the planets went onto the Solar System Orrey. It was completed so quickly and it was ready to be tested.
"Well, Toma, shall we test them out tomorrow or tonight?" she asked even she knew what the answer probably be.

@Aisling "Tonight!" Toma answered instantly. So Ioan plugged both orrerys in, and the planets began to shine and to move.

Mystique smiled. "What do you think of your Orrey, Toma?" It was a beautiful sight in her eyes. She had plans on doing the whole galaxy kit by kit.
"Loan is there a place where I can place the one Orrey up here and build onto it? There are other kits to add to this one like stars arranged in constellation form."

@Aisling Toma looked at it. "It's beautiful! It's the eight planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. In reality, there's the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and behind Neptune, there is Pluto and with it the Kuiper belt - the region where the comets come from - and probably the Oort cloud. And the solar system has got a second star in it that Ioan discovered."

"That is interesting and this kit came out just after Pluto was demoted. There are more kits. Maybe I can buy a couple more and we can create the whole universe kit by kit." Mystique spoke.
"Now what shall we do?"

@Aisling "I guess Pluto wouldn't have been in it. Its orbit is so much of an ellipse that in this scale, it would go from here out to the pond in the garden on one side and to the court on the other. And the whole universe... that'd be a bit too much to build, but..." Ioan explained. "How about I take you two to my observatory tonight? I can show you a computer simulation of the whole universe there."

"That would be neat to see and better than getting all of the kits, don't you think Toma?" Mystique spoke softly.
"If we are going to be up late then I think that I will go lie down for a while."

@Aisling Toma smiled. "Yes, I love the observatory!" "If we want to be there on time, we'll have to go now," Ioan said. "I'm too unconcentrated to teleport... but you can rest in the car."

@Aisling "Yes," Ioan answered, and they went to his car.

45 minutes later, they saw something above the forest...

Mystique was just awaken to see something and it was very impressive. Her eyes were wide open with wonder.

"Wow, loan..... is all of this yours? Or do you know the person or company that does?"

@Aisling Ioan smiled as he parked his car in front of the building. "That's my observatory. I am the leader of it."

Ioan got out. It was a cold night. Ioan looked up and saw that the stars were not sparkling a lot. "Seems to be relatively windless up there. Perfect observation conditions!"

"I'd say a bit on the cold side but the sky is clear. How many people do you have under you?" Mystique spoke with awe to loan as she walked.

@Aisling "Five," Ioan answered. "Only Dmitri will be here tonight... the others are on travel. But we often are visited by astronomers from other institutes who use our telescopes for research."

"I am eager to go inside and find out what I can see. You will have to point out the constellations out. I am not good with stars and their locations."
