Lt. White Wolf
Phils Lab
Shortly before the 11:00 Meeting in Phils Office
------------------
[Begin last post snippet]
Phil and a rather P.O.ed looking Major Harris walk in the entrance,
and they stop dead in their tracks at the sight of everything.
White Wolf spots them, and quickly drops to all fours and runs over
to them, and begins talking to Phil while casually working on what
looks decidedly like a mechanical arm "I hope you like it, I know
it's a bit small and everything's in stainless steel, It's all I
could do on such a short notice. But I can have the dimensional
resizing interface complete by the end of next week, if you like. And
if you need any other enhancements it'll take a bit longer, of
course. Oh, and I hope you don't mind my putting in the necessary
modifications to the time machine. I upgraded the interface to move
physical forms along the 4th dimensional axis, time, and of course,
since we're back in our original universe I had to add in a transfer
interface for moving things along the 5th dimensional axis, alternate
reality universes. I had to put in a gravity inversion, so anyone who
is going through the dimensional interface will appear as coming out
of open hatch in the floor in the other dimension. I realize people
will be disoriented with the feeling of going down a hatch here in
our dimensional reality, and then going up out of a hatch in the
other dimension reality, but there wasn't much I can do about that.
Oh, before I forget - You better take a look at your computer,
Saddam. I think he had a bit of brain fart when I tried explaining
things to him the first few times, he kept saying something about
setting Commander Niples loins on fire. Well anyways, here's the
remote control pad. Is there any questions you need me to answer
before the 11:00 meeting?"
[End end last post snippet]
The huge hamster stood there waiting expectantly for an answer.
Several moments passed, and Neither Phil nor Major Harris spoke. They
were just staring about the lab. White Wolf began to fidget again,
nervously pulling bits of fur. He was being ignored again. The
humilation of it! "I've got to do something!" he thought.
Huge hamster began speaking outloud, "Perhaps if I demonstrate for
you, Phil... May I have the control?"
Reaching over and spending several seconds prying the remote control
from Phil's 'death grip' on it, White Wolf then stepped back and gave
Phil an Odd look for a second, waiting to see if he'd react. Seeing
none, the Huge hamster start to say something, and deciding against
it, begain walking towards the frig/time machine on the floor while
twiddling the remote control.
White Wolf started his demonstration lecture, "As you can see, the
controls are layed out for ease of use. You simply press the button
marked 'power' to turn it on and off, and when you want to program it
you push the button marked 'Program'. And you program with the time
like a VCR. I assume you know how to program a VCR..."
At this point the six foot one inch Hamster stops, and waits for Phil
to answer. Nothing happened. Neither of the them moved. Puzzled, the
huge hamster walks over to stand directly in front of Major Harris
and Phil, and begins waving his left paw in front of thier
faces. "Hello?!? Major? Phil? Can either of you hear me?!?!" calls
White Wolf to them as he waves his hand more frentically. No reaction
at all.
White Wolf stops waving, and rests his head in his left paw while
thinking "Oh God, their really ignoring me this time! What am I going
to do? What a minute perhaps I accidently inverted the time machine
time stopped everybody." He glances at the remote control.
And this is when the virus finally, hits White Wolf.
White Wolf thinks,"Hey wait a minute, I don't remember a button being
over there before..." and the huge hamster pulls out a set of
glasses and slips them on, to look closer at the new button on the
remote control. It was marked 'Refridgerator'.
"Refrigerator? What that for?" blurts the overgrown hamster. And out
of curiousity, presses it. And the time machines/refrigerator door
swings open. White Wolf cautiously goes over, and looks inside. It
looked like the inside of a fridge, and it was fully stocked with
food. The Huge hamster reached out and picked up a bottle of Thai
Peanut Sauce. It was cold. White Wolf experimentally pressed
the 'Refridgerator' button again.
The door closed. White Wolf reached out and opened it. It was normal
time machine again. "Odd", Thought White Wolf, "I don't remember
putting that feature in."
Glancing at that the bottle of Thai Peanut sauce again, and getting
hungry, "I wonder if there any salad." and pressed the refridgerator
button again. The door opened again, and huge hamster searched the
frig. He couldn't find any salad. His stomach growls, and he
mutters "Well, I guess there's nothing for it. I'm going to have to
go to the promeade for some salad." Glancing at Major Harris and Phil
still standing rather gape mouthed at the at the door, White Wolf
reaches into the fridge and grabs a six pack of Dark amber O'Douls.
Walking over the pair of them, White Wolf waves his paw in front of
them one last time. "I imagine you'll be thirsty after all the
gaping, here's a cold one." Then White Wolf open's a can of O'douls
and places it in Phils left hand, places the time machine remote
control in Phils right hand, and hangs the plastic ring with the rest
of the six pack hanging from Major Harris's right hand, quickly
scrawls a note on a piece of paper "Please don't start the meeting
without me - went to get a nip of peanut Salad, and will be right
back. - Signed White Wolf." and places it in the majors left hand.
Then overgrown hamster saunteers out the door to head towards the
Burger Tzar in search of some salad to go with his bottle of Thai
peanut sauce.
