If
Curtis had not died, this might have been another mission for him. He had the
looks for the job, if not the mind for it, and yet they had the Seltzman
machine for that. Number 6’s mind transferred into the body of Curtis, at least
he would have felt more at home than he would have done as the Colonel. But of
course it would never have worked, once Number 6 had woken up back in London his mind housed in Curtis’ body, well
who knows what would have happened then. Certainly there should have been no
need for him to have gone looking for Professor Seltzman! He would have been
reunited with his fiancée Janet that morning she came calling, and then surely
he would have gone running to Sir Charles Portland. But then what? Spill the
beans to him about The Village, or to hand in his letter of resignation? If he
had he’d have ended up waking up in The Village as himself. But then what? To
undergo a second mind transference in order to render him whole once again?
Be seeing you
