Baron Manferd von Richfoten

Who: Keto, Cerebrum and a guest star appearance of Baron Manferd von
Richfoten, in mind, if not in body
Where: Medibay and other

> "First TWO."

"Well," Cerebrum said. "I asked Holly, and told him it was really
important."
"Yes," Keto replied, unsure of where Cerebrum was going.
"I told him that we had to find a replacement, and that my life depended
on it."
"Go on."
"So I told him that he had to do his absolute best to intelligently find
a solution."
"And?"
"So we went online and used Ask Jeeves. The answer we got said that we
can use alien bug brains hooked up to a electronic system."
"Brilliant," Keto said, sarcastically. "Where will get some of those?"
"From a dead alien, of course. To do this, we can-"
At this point, the alarms sounded, and coincided with the fact that the
last time he had taken his pills was eight hours and one minute ago.
"Good God, the ship is in danger!" Cerebrum shouted, in a German accent.
"Come on, we have to hurry!"
"But-"
Before Keto could say anything more, Cerebrum had grabbed him and yanked
him into the nearest turbo-lift.
Docking bay
"Fortunately, the scutters repainted this Starbug during the Soviet
revolution last year," Cerebrum said, dragging Keto on board. "We save the
ship, and who else could possibly do it but us? The Red Baron and Dr Keto."
"But I don't know how to fly!" Keto finally said.
"Don't worry, you can be the navigator," Cerebrum replied. He had
managed to acquire a pair of aviator's goggles, and had started up the
Starbug. "Now, how do you open the docking bay doors?" he muttered, then
pushed a button.
A missile flew out of the Soviet era launcher welded to the side and
slammed into the bay doors.
"I knew I could find it!" the Red Baron said proudly, as the resultant
hole in the side of the ship sucked the Starbug out into space. "The Red
Baron flies again! Now, have you got any idea which one of these things is
the steering wheel? I haven't flown since World War I, so I'm a bit rusty on
the controls of these new-fangled space craft. Shouldn't be too hard," he
commented, as he confidently set the red Starbug on a collision course with
Kara's craft.
