Kochanski trailed off and ducked as Dante fired off a burst at three
approaching figures, who dove for cover, apparently unharmed.
"Jesus H. Christ! That's a fine way to treat a friend!" McJohn
shouted from behind a dustbin.
"Next time don't sneak up me!" Dante bellowed back.
"Fair enough!"
McJohn, Sandoval and Victoria nervously joined the others.
"Where have you been all this time?" said Kochanski. McJohn didn't
answer, he was too busy looking at Aurora. Elian answered for him.
"We've been looking for the rest of the crew, senor Kochanski."
"Did you find any of them?" asked Dante.
"Nada. Except Senor Higginson."
Higginson was the Fourth Engineer.
"And where is he?" Kochanski asked.
"Locked himself off in one of the bathrooms on Deck 19. Completely
loco."
"Terrific," sighed Kochanski, "And what are you looking at, McJohn?"
McJohn was still looking at Aurora.
"Who the smeg's that? And why does she have a gas mask?"
"Introductions later," he replied. "I've rigged up some grenades with
that love virus --" he stopped, suddenly noticing they were being
surrounded by clones. "And it looks like we may have to use them PSQ."
"PSQ?" asked Aurora.
"Pretty smeggin' quick." answered Victoria as she put on her gas
mask. Elian followed suit. McJohn simply took out his wallet.
"Don't you have a mask?" asked Aurora.
"I don't need one. All I need is this." He showed her the naked
photograph of Jean Harlow inside his wallet.
"Just what," Kochanski snapped, "is your obsession with that woman?"
