the hamster gives a demonstration on how *not* to return home...
Where: The planet Nix-o-plink, You know... where the Away teams went?
When: 1850 hours, You know ... when a popular american mouse ... Wait
a minute - never mind!
Who: Commander White Wolf, You know ... the marooned hamster?
The huge hamster watches the vidman, or more specifically Sam, as her
blonde hair whips in some virtual wind, while waiting for Sam to tell
him the results of her transmission to the Blue Dwarf.
"ok. I've got a response from the amourzilla, and I've given him the
answer. Now the Amourzilla says it's acting." Trills Sam, finally.
The large hamster quickly scrawls out some more equations with the
charcoal before replying to her, "Ok, Sam. Now I need you to feed the
Bion Ball #6 the instructions to set the Opus's temporal tractor to
send us both through this series of time coordinates outlined in this
equation here. That should put us back aboard the blue dwarf just as
the away teams return, which will put everything right."
The overgrown hamster once again, picked up the vidman, and began
showing the scriblings to her.
"I'm queueing the sequence for transmission, the equation will be
relayed to the Amourzilla in a few seconds."
"Good, everything will be fine in a moment." Replied the huge
hamster. Then, he suddenly sneezed and his spit smeared part of his
charcoaled equation just a mere fraction of a second before he
inadvertantly disconnected the cables connecting the Vidman to the
signal booster and power supply. The Vidmans' display immediately
went blank.
"Unless of course, I do something as stupid as that..." continued the
Huge Hamster in shock. He quickly tried reconnecting the cables to
the vidman, as both it and his form quickly dissolved away.

At that moment in the Blue Dwarf's cargo bay as Commander Smegg is
calling up the Security Department that White Wolf's little ship is
missing, when the bewildered looking engineer tapped Smegg on the
shoulder while saying "um... Excuse me, sir."
"What?" replied Smegg with annoyance for being interupted while
trying to make an official report.
"I think someone's playing a prank on us, sir. Cos, It's back again."
replied the other engineer while pointing toward the ceiling, again.
Commander Smegg glances up where the other engineers pointing again,
and sure enough, there hangs the little ship back in the original
spot it was before.
"Right... After I put all that work into ringing up the security
department and all. I hope Harris catchs the blimey bloke!"

--- Begin Snip ---
"Go!" Coffey repeated. Cerebrum left the room and Coffey locked
the
medibay doors. No one was getting in, and no one was getting out
without Coffey's knowledge.
"Now, Larry. You and I are not resting till I work out what's
happened, why, and how to set it straight," she said determinedly.
--- End Snip ---
Suddenly the sound of an elephant trumpeting came from the Medi-bays
quaratine room, which was quickly followed by a voice trying to sound
calm, "No... No... please, this all a misunderstanding. Just an
unfortunate circumstance, If you'll just allow me to leave..."
The sound repeated itself, but this time the elephant's trumpeting
sounded very angry, and was quickly followed by a loud crash
emanating from the quaratine room.
Hazel carefully walks over to the quaratine rooms windows to peer
inside, just as a huge six foot one inch, hamster is slammed face
first against the glass by an angry elephant's trunk.
The stunned huge hamster merely murmurs, "Oh no... it's Keto's lab!
Why couldn't I have choosen a better place to get injured again...
like before ointment was invented?" as he sinks down to the floor
squeaking against the glass.
The elephant, still in absolute fear, luckily leaves the unconscious
man sized hamster on the floor and crashes it's way out of the
quaratine room and the medi-bay as it makes it way into the ship at
large...
Trisees looks after the elephant through the massive hole where the
medi-bay doors used to be, and quips "If that's an example of the
daily routine around here, it's no wonder why I can't remember
anything, this place would drive anyone looney. By the way, if your
rodents are getting that big, you really *should* try putting out
some 'rat pruf'..."
