In case you were wondering, no, Simons will not show up again after this point, so there's no point to avoiding him. Also, I stray a bit from Area 51 itself in the first part of the lecture, but considering the first map I cover today I'd say I'm still on-topic overall.
Additional music is the theme from The Black Hole as performed by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, "The Castle" from the Shadows over Riva soundtrack, and "Danse des Petits Cygnes" from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.
