Where - Bobbing on the surface of some lake on Amadues 5
<Snip>
"aaaaarggggghhhhhhh. Those bastards....Right We need to find where we
are...All in favour of sending MP out in a ruby dingey raise your
hand...."
There was many hands put in the air.
Phil turned to MP..."Right...It's time you earned your keep round
here...."
<End snip>
The Admiral suddenly inquired, "Are we there yet?"
"EEE eeee ee", went Mini Phil trying to explain while nodding and
pointing excitedly.
"Oh Good gravy! The Admiral's plate of green peas are also stuck in
my fur. I'm gonna be in the bathroom try to getting them out and use
the blow dryer to dry myself out, if any of you need me." exclaimed
the overgrown hamster after looking down at himself and picking out
the individual peas.
"Huh? What did he say?" asked Buttecus to Phil whil cuping his ear
with one hand.
"HE SAID HE'S GOING TO THE BATHROOM!" Answered Phil, yelling in
Buttecus's ear.
"You don't have to yell, sonny... I can hear you. I thought he was
going to the bathroom..." replied the Admiral pointing to the
retreating large hamster, "So where's the little guy supposed to go?"
Phil shook his head in disgust, and muttered, "Never mind." while
walking away.
"Oh those are such pretty lights," commented the Admiral while
squinting out the forward windows, "are they having a fireworks
celebration honoring our arrival?"
With puzzlement at what the Admiral was refering to, Jay turned to
casually glance out the window himself, and nearly did a double take
at the sight of a familiar police spacecruiser suddenly approaching
from the distance with it's lights flashing.
"This is Amadeus Traffic control car #127, to the floating Blue Dwarf
craft - You are in violation of Amadeus traffic council decree
#2193487, #444444 & #3425987, Pull over and Prepare to be boarded
immediatelly!!!", Blared the police cruisers outside speakers as it
came up next to the floating Starbug.
"Aw, Smeg... Not again!", exclaimed Jay while reaching over and
flicking the switch to put the turbines in station keeping mode.
"I'll get the door." Offered Olaf.
"I'll get the hamster." Said Phil.
"E ee eeeE" Said Mini-Phil to Jay while gesturing to the Police
cruiser and making a fist smacking motion in his hand.
-------------------
Within moments, two young and extremely clean cut, uniformed police
officers entered the Starbug, followed by a third who was completely
bald, and seemed to be the one in charge.
The bald officer cast a displeased look at Jay, Mini-Phil, Olaf and
the Admiral who were standing in the nearby doorway leading to the
cockpit, as he bellowed, "That makes it two speeding violations in as
many days, along with failing to file a proper flight plan, and
illegal use of Pyrotechnics. I'm Sorry, but we're going to have to
take your senior officer into custody, due to your flagrant disregard
of our laws!"
"Wha? I... I didn't... I was... in back... Uh..." sputters a
completely bewildered Buttecus as the two younger officers came
forward and grabbed ahold of him, and started putting on the
handcuffs.
"What's the meaning of this?" Demanded the whopping hamster as he &
Phil came up from behind, after exiting out of the starbugs bathroom.
The Bald officer spun around, and White Wolf's face fell as he
recognised him and said breathlessly, "Rinsey???"
The Bald Man's whole face immediately flushed red as he burst out in
angry voice, "YOU!!!! I should've known a creature like you would be
among these.... these... Degenerates. I knew when Tobasis's attache
warned me to keep an eye on Buttecus's escort, that I'd be perhaps
dealing with Earth's low life, but I had never suspected they had
sunk as low as this... If you're the best Earth can send, then that
pathetic planet has turned into a bigger cesspool than I thought it
would when I left!"
"Look Rinsey, can't we put the drill sargent thing..." started the
strapping hamster.
The Bald man rapidly turned and raged with spital flying from his
lips as he screamed hoarsely into the rotund hamsters face, "My name
is NOT 'Rinsey'! Nor is it 'Rinse-n-Repeat' as my terminally lazy
father wrote on my birth certificate after his daily wake up shower
from another one of his late night drunken binges! When I came to
this world, I changed my name to 'Pete', you mangy flea bitten
rodent, and don't you forget it!"
The Bald man called Pete then turned to his two men, and jerked his
thumb towards the door of the starbug while ordering, "Get that old
fart into the brig, so I can go breath some fresh air."
"...Behind us?!?" finished White Wolf dumbly, and then trying again
as the two men hustled the doddering admiral off the Starbug, "Give
us break, Pete - He's a negotiator for Earths emergency oil
shipement, doesn't he have diplomatic immunity or something?"
"Diplomatic immunity only applies to Ambassador's. Is he a card
carrying Ambassador? Nope? I thought so! Then he's going to have to
serve a 90 day minium jail sentence just as Amadeus's law proscribes.
And No, I'm not going to give you a break, because you & the boys
certainly didn't give me one... So get out of my face you dandruff
shedding furball!" said Pete quickly before stomping off the Star bug
after his other men.
"Well, he was certainly friendly..." remarked Olaf.
"EEEe eeee?"
"Yeah, What do we do Now?" asked Jay.
"ho boy, I don't know yet. Give me a second to think...", replied the
amplitudness hamster as he sat down in a nearby seat heavily while
rubbing his forehead.
"Perhaps you should've let me send MP out with one of the repair bots
and a laser so he could've shot the traffic cops. It would have
certainly been a lot simpler..." commented Phil.
The hamster's head suddenly popped up with a surprised look on his
face as he said happily, "That's it!"
"Well, It is a little late, but I think we can go back to dwarf and
we can just put MP in the Time fridge and..."
"No, I didn't mean that, Phil. But your sentiment is right, whenever
someone fights dirty with you, then you have to fight dirty back. So
if Commodore Tobasis has got Amadeus 5 thinking we're disregarding
thier laws, we'll show them what 'disregarding the law' means to
us... Jay, Let's head back to Dwarf. I want to have the guys in
Engineering circumvent thier 'gravitonic anchor' and so we can get
dwarf into orbit. Phil, I want you to put your best security people
on alert, we're gonna need them soon. In the meantime, I want to hear
anybodies ideas, because I want to put together a plan to either
spring the Admiral from jail or how we can complete this mission
without him, even if we have to steal the emergency oil shipment
ourselves to bring it back to earth and deal with Anders & Tobasis
directly!"
