The Shape of the Wait

Len and Odo are commissioned by a MoonTimeX attendant to build an hourglass from specific lunar sand. Its fall rate depends on how the glass is held. Since vertical orientation increases flow, Odo must design a tilting base to control speed and alter the timer's meaning.

  1. Generation 1333
    • 1.8–4.2s · SUBJECT: I need a timer as slow as the lunar wait.
    • 4.8–7.2s · GUEST: Funnel geometry dictates the flow rate.
  2. Generation 1334
    • 1.8–4.2s · SUBJECT: It must feel as slow as the wait.
    • 4.8–7.2s · GUEST: Vertical is too fast. We need a tilt.
  3. Generation 1335
    • 3.1–5.5s · GUEST: The angle slows the flow.
  4. Generation 1336
    • 3.1–5.5s · GUEST: Forty-five degrees. The base must hold that exact angle.
  5. Generation 1337
    • 3.1–5.5s · GUEST: It is slipping. The angle is wrong.
  6. Generation 1338
    • 3.1–5.5s · GUEST: The fit is secure.
  7. Generation 1339
    • 1.8–4.2s · GUEST: The fit holds.
    • 4.8–7.2s · SUBJECT: I can feel it now.
