Foreign Pancake

Who: Justin Pancake, Lester and Callum Kotchanski
Where: Boarding the "ugly" Blue Dwarf
When:
Something bleeped on the cockpit control panel and Justin sat heavily
in the pilot seat behind it. 'Looks like a personal distress beacon,'
he said, 'punching up the target.' Justin leaned forward to squint
through the crowd of Blue Dwarfs. 'Ooh, it's the ugly one.' He looked
at Lester's expression, 'well uglier. Let's go be heroes.' He fired up
Starbugs engines and they soared towards Kara, Keto and Dysart.
When they docked in the Flight Deck, Justin was the first to jump out.
"Where is the good looking version of me? Oh... I'm already here!" He
said.
"You already said that. And you've said it on every alternate Blue
Dwarf we've been on."
"It's still funny."
Lester shook his head in despair.
Callum headed took out his Psi scanner and headed off towards where
the K.N.O.B was on this ship. He aimed to fix it and get all these
Blue Dwarf's back to their own universes so that he could go back to
his drunken hibernation.
Justin noticed a Starbug parked next to theirs that was covered in
flags. The flag was mostly green to match the colour of the Starbug,
but had a white square with a green star in it.
"I think they're visiting too." Lester said. "I can't see that flag
anywhere else."
As they were talking a door opened and an identical Callum, Lester and
Justin got out. The other Callum was waving a Psi scanner and heading
towards the K.N.O.B just like theirs was.
"Hi." Waved Justin.
"Kie estas la bona rigardanta versio de mi? Ho... Mi estas jam
alvenis!" Said the other Justin, finally noticing them.
"What did he just say?" Justin said.
Lester shrugged. "I guess not all universes speak English."
"Kio estas ili diranta? Ili parolas kiel totalaj pikoj!"
"I think they are insulting us." Justin said. "I suggest we kill
them." He pulled his gun, but Lester tugged on his hand.
"Wait, they might be friendly. Talk to them some more and I will try
and get SNIDE to translate what they are saying."
SNIDE shrugged mechanically, his translation matrix has recently
corrupted.
The alternate Justin stepped forward.
"Ni havas dek du tunoj da senutila metalo nomis oron, Nin vol
interŝanĝo ĝi por sep ŝafo(j)."
"I think they are trying to kill us. Let's kill them first!" Said Justin.
"Bonvole uzu niaj belaj edzinoj"
"These guys aren't going to give us anything useful." Justin said.
"It sounds like it might be Esperanto." Said Lester, giving it a guess.
"Well that proves they're evil."
Lester had to drag Justin away from them before he murdered them in
cold blood.
"Justin!" His alternate called after him. "Gardu sin kontraŭ la
koridoro de seksaj malsanoj ! "
"Yeah yeah, whatever. Dickhead." Justin shouted back.
