"there's an ASDA just over the hill in the town? I bet
the sell jaffa
cakes" said Phil giving seymour a look that said simply "We are
getting jaffa cakes wether you like it or not"
"Very well..Jaffa cakes it is then" he said sighing

Who: The quarry team (Phil, Seymour, Mk9, Efof anyone
else?)
Where: Outside ASDA on Mars
When: Just before the crash
The group all headed over the hill into a more urban area.
It would be unusual for some to think of Mars as having such common scenery as
roads, pavements, traffic lights and bus stops, as many people still think of
Mars as the mysterious red rocky planet. But not Efof. To him, just about every
aspect of human culture was so bizarre that he had become accustomed to it.
If Mars had streets, bus lanes, inner city parking, and
out-of-town business parks that was fine by him. If hairy midgets playing
trombones wanted to dance in front of them, that was fine by him too.
He left the hairy musical midgets to it and caught up with
the rest of the gang who were just entering ASDA. He followed them inside the
supermarket.
Every one else was used to supermarkets, having been in them
many many times before. But for Efof this was like a brand new experience. He
was only used to the small newsagents on the Blue Dwarf's promenade and the
corner shop on deck 29 that sold unlabelled meat in plastic bags. His eyes
opened up when he saw the sheer size of this shop and the things on offer.
Unfortunately he didn't get very far through the entrance
before someone stopped him.
The rest of the BD gang had walked straight past the shop
assistant, assuming he was just one of those people that greet you when you
come into the store. Keto has assumed that he was collecting for a local
charity so had even more reason to hurry past and not make eye contact.
The man had a big badge saying `I'm happy to help'. Efof
looked at it.
"Oh goodie, are you my own personal shopping assistant?"
Unfortunately the man was a zombie and the only way he
wanted to help Efof was to eat him.
The man snarled.
Efof was always remarked by others as being a bit dumb, but
to give him credit in this occasion he DID realise the man was a zombie,
although a few seconds after he approached him snarling and drooling. But Efof
had to be sure, because as far as he knew, this could be normal for ASDA
employees.
Efof ducked under the zombie's arms and ran to catch up with
the others. "Guys I think we should be careful, look around you
"
There were zombies in the aisles. There were zombies at the
checkouts. There were zombies at the meat counter.
But whilst the team were looking around, they really should
have been looking up.
A loud whistling signalled the approach of a falling
spacecraft. The ceiling caved in and everywhere was covered with plaster.
As the dust and smoke cleared. Seymour pointed. "Oh dear
God, that spaceship has destroyed the delicatessen counter!"
