The Fellowship of the Dwarf
<Snipperoo>
Before leaving he thought about the exam he did two months earlier.
"Someone should have the results of that by now. I want to see how I did!
Especially when the exam I did was the Medical exam, and not the Engineering
exam!" He thought to himself.
<End Snipperoo>
Zodar walked out of the door and headed to his room.
"Holly," He said still walking, "have the results for my test come in yet?"
"What test would that be then, dude?" Said Holly
"The Medical exam, Holly."
"But you're an engineer. Isn't there some sort of law against people taking
the wrong test or something?"
"No Hol, I checked it out. Have you got the results?"
"Results?"
"Yes, the results for my test, Hol."
"What test? I didn't know you did a test."
"My results for the Medical exam that I sat for." said Chris getting
increasingly annoyed.
"No, I expect that everyone will get them as soon as they are marked."
"Thanks Holly."
"That's alright, hope you did well in your Piloting exam, mate."
"What piloting exam... oh never mind. Is there anything I can help out with
on board the ship?"
"Well, there seems to be a big party here," A map was displayed on the
screen with a big arrow pointing to a large area. "I guess you could go help
out... But my sensors detect that there's some sort of space anomaly in the
same area."
"And what would that mean?"
"Buggered if I know."
"Thanks for the warning, Hol."
"What warning?"
"Bye Hol." Said Chris as he walked into his room and collected his
hoverscooter.
Chris set the hoverscooter up and began hovering down the hallways at quite
a speed, almost hitting a few people, until he reached the area Holly had
mentioned. A huge stage, poorly built, but stable towered above everything.
Chris glided out of sight behind a wall.
He noticed Eve and a few familiar faces arriving.
"Hi Eve, I've been missing you... Hello Phil, how are you?"
There were also some not so familiar faces.
"Who are they?"
"Don't you recognise me?" Squeaked the small rodent.
"Um, no. Sorry."
"How many 6"1' hamsters do you know?" He squeaked, annoyed.
"But you aren't that tall... Oh, right, I know who you are now. Hello White
Wolf. Sir."
"This is WD-40, my mechanoid." Squeaked WW.
"Oh, right," said Zodar looking the mechanoid over and circling it. WD-40
stood still and followed him with his optical receptors. "Nice mechanoid you
have here..."
"I think you will find that I am close to flawless, sir."
One of WD-40's optical receptors popped out of it's socket and bounced
across the floor.
"Flawless?" Asked Zodar, picking up the receptor from the floor.
"I did say close to flawless, Sir. I still have a few bugs to iron out."
"If you need someone to help with repairs, you know where to find me." Said
Zodar to WW.
"That won't be necessary, Sir. My self-repair functions are fully
operational."
"Ok, ok." Said Zodar.
Phil spoke up, "This is my son, Rufus."
"Oh, right, the one I gave that magic show for... I remember."
"Doesn't it freak you out that he has grown so fast?" Eve whispered into
Chris's ear.
"Nah, it's the norm for 'round here these days."
Chris looked up to see Rufus looking at Eve in a strange way.
"Hey, what are you looking at, buddy?"
"Nothing. I wasn't looking at her. Honest." Rufus said.

much... :) I'm not breaching copyright am I?
