17 This really isn't a working trebuchet

A journalist from the Hay and Gwair News and Gazette (aka Hagnag) has arrived to cover the extended demonstration by local farmers. He experiences the full force of their argument when the slurry trailer passes. His subsequent report strongly favours the other side (you will recall that the demonstration is a protest against the public workers strike.) As he scribbles his copy, the shadowy figure of the infant genius (Kolya) passes behind him on his way to test his new tabletop synchrotron. None of this offers any consolation to the two rival bookshop owners, still waiting for the opening festivities delayed by the farmers’ demonstration. Perhaps Kolya has the answer.
