Search for Niples (no jokes!)

Who: Mk.8, Trisees
Where: Somewhere between the barracks and the French base.
When: While everyone was out
Mk.8 looked around him. Everyone had already left, and he was snooping
about the place for the prison complex holding Seymour. He felt a tap
on his shoulder, and swiftly drawing his katana, spun round to find
himself face-to-face with Trisees.
"Why the hell aren't you with everyone else?"
They stared at each other for a while.
"Of course, silly me. It's you."
"What in the hell are you looking for?" asked Trisees, partially
taking over the job of lookout.
"Got a call from Jed. Said he needs Seymour, and he would make it
worth my while."
"Can I help?"
"He wants him alive."
"Smeg."
"Although, tag along and I'll cut you half of my share."
"Well, ok, but I'm pretty sure the prison complex is on the other side
of the river."
"What makes you think that?"
"This map they gave everyone… And the large orange arrow with 'Prison
Complex' written on it…"
"…Why must you insist on spoiling my fun?"
"Oh, and another thing, to get across, we may well have to take out
the guards protecting the bridge."
Mk.8 once again drew his katana, which then snapped.
Mk.8 stood in astonishment, while Trisees stood unmoved, and very unhappy.
"Damn" said Mk.8
"Find another way?" asked Trisees
"Find another way"
**A short hike later**
Mk.8 and Trisees stood at the river bank, and watched the Blue Dwarf
crew being hurled across the river.
"Idiots." they said in unison
"Then again," said Trisees "How are we going to get across?"
Mk.8 pointed to his legs, or rather lack thereof.
"Oh, right, of course. I forgot. I have the floating robot"
"Hey, I resent that."
"Ok, ok, droid"
"No, not that. I meant that 'floating' remark. I prefer
'Gravitationally challenged'"
Trisees rolled his eyes and Mk.8 airlifted him across the river.
Trisees hopped out of Mk.8's arms.
"I gotta say, the in-flight movie was absolute shit."
"Hey, it's a classic"
"The 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' is NOT a classic!"
"Oh, bite me. Where is this damn prison complex anyway?"
"About 20 kilometres that way."
"'That way'" repeated Mk.8 "Oh, yes, VERY bloody specific that is."
"Look, just follow me" said Trisees, and the pair wondered off into
the maze of buildings.
