A discovery and EVERYBODY DOWN!
"When the Mobius was here, I learnt a few things from Dad about Temporal mecahincs...If I'm reading this screen right...The dwarf's not been destoyed.."
"What the hell happened then"
"It got sent somewhere..in time..."
"Bugger"
<END SNIP>
"OOK! OOK! OOK! OOK!"
"What Dean?"
"Sorry, I lost the ability to speak English for a minute, look at this piece of paper!"
"Where?""Auf dem Tish arsloch!"
"What? You don't speak German unless you're smart." said Amber
"I think the DNA machine is starting to wear off."
"Great."
"No, it's fine, we're inside, the atmosphere is S3." scribbled Phil, "I checked."
"Gut!" said Dean, his old head appearing on the monkey's body.
"This is now getting too weird." said Amber, still a goat.
"Nein, alles ist gut. Mensch ist besser als Affe."
"What the hell did he just say?" asked Zodar, before setting fire to the real MP.
"I'm guessing he said "No, it is all good. Human is better than Monkey." But it's just a guess." shrugged Amber.
"Correct, well done." said Dean, now with arms as well as his head.
"So, where is the BD?" asked Amber
"I have no idea." scribbled MPP.
"Well, said Dean, what I was trying to tell you was that if you look on the table you will see a piece of paper, read it!"
"Um.. Dean, I can't. It's in Esperanto."
"Well, I could, obviously my temporary intelligence could cope with it."
"Hang on, hang on." said Amber. "Sorry to break up the party, but where are the people who man this station?"
"Let me tell you."
"Well, feel free Dean."
"Right, this here isn't just a radar dish as I think Phil noticed."
MPP nodded.
"Believe it or not, it's a coffee machine."
"A WHAT?" said Amber.
"The piece of paper indicates that they were working on creating the ultimate coffee machine, a coffee machine that actually made coffee instead of mud."
"Wow, interesting...." said Amber, "but impossible, surely."
"Wait!" said Keith, "How did it pick up the message that the BD was sent back in time then."
"It's a multipurpose utility." shrugged Dean, "Twice the functionality, half the space."
"That's rather cunning, what will those JMC bod's think of next." mused Amber.
"Anyway, before we find the BD, I suggest we try out this coffee machine." said Dean
"seconded." scribbled Phil.
"Right." said Dean, now back to his human form, and thankfully, back in his uniform, I reckon this is the control panel. Black, Two Sugars."
He pressed some buttons.
The lights went out.
"Bugger." said Dean
"Just slightly." said Amber."
"Zodar? Can you set fire to the paper on the table? Then we'll have a light of sorts for a while."
Zodar breathed, and the paper ignited.
"Thanks." said Amber.
Just as the group were trying to find the light switch, Dean yelled "EVERYBODY DOWN!"
"Why?" said Keith, hitting the deck.
An acid ball hit the wall where MPP had been standing a minute before.
"Daddy's home." said Dean, turning to face the creature that had just entered the room, blocking the only exit.
Dean "Run Junior, Daddy's Home" Thomas
