"I apologise if I've been less than cordial in my welcome..." came the voice.
"And about time too." said Alota, joining in the game.
"Actually." whispered Dean, "I've just had a better idea. How about we run back to the entrance and give the boys a hand?"
<END SNIP?
"wait, lets find out what this is first" suggested alota, taking a step further into the cave
"What?! Are you nuts?" whispered Amber and Dean, in unison.
"sorry, have i not introduced myself yet?" asked the disembodied voice, "I am welcome module version 5, welcome to <insert your own business here>."
"Great." said Dean, "We were frightened by a commercial welcoming system."
"Yeah," said Victoria, "Aren't we all big tough space core astronauts."
"Hell, we're so tough we should be in an advert." said Amber sarcastically.
"Well, shall we go further in and get frightened by commercial products some more? Or shall we help out the guys at the entrance as they get eaten alive by GELFS?" asked Alota
"well, I'm voting for further inside, I'll take being scared over being killed any day of the week." said Dean, and so saying he bravely strode further into the cave, then sped up to a fast scuttling as gunfire was heard from the cave entrance...
<AT THE CAVE ENTRANCE>
"Don't come any closer!" shouted Jack, pointing his tommy-gun at the advancing Gelf, who held their weapons up, and walked casually towards them.
"huh?" jack said, looking to his partner in defense for thoughts. there were none.
"what are you up to?" shouted Jack.
"FDAHKJASDLGBFDSHG" said the GELF.
"Great." said Jack, "The old communication problem raises it's head again."
"Charades time" said McJohn
"umm, don't mean to spoil your intentions" called back Mcjohn. "but we don't speak Gelf"
"oh, no problems chaps" replied the gelf in an english voice even worse than seymours, if that possible.
Both Jack and Mcjohn raised an eyebrow each simultaneously, Jack made the first move, and got up, walking out to meet the Gelf 'representative'. "whats up? given up on the hunt?" asked jack, then thinking "why did i say that, of all things".
"your presence has been requested at head quarters, i believe it is one of your crew to wed Olga vbfsvjsnbvbsivbsvdbsvisvvbsvbsjhfh Jones today, we must escort you there"
"well, this is nice" thought Jack, and raised his index finger to the Gelf, hoping he knew that it meant 'one minute' and stepped back inside the cave to get the others.
<BACK IN THE CAVE>
"What is this place?" asked Amber
"Some kind of Museum" said Dean...
"No," said Alota, "I think it's the visitor centre section of a massive theme park."
"Why you say that?" asked Victoria
"I just read it here on this brochure entitled, 'Welcome to Sci-fi world, the ultimate sci-fi theme park in the universe!"
"Now, that's why you're Captain and I'm deputy cheif navigation officer. I'd never have thought of reading that."
"You'd never have thought full stop Deano." said Alota
"She's got a point." said Amber.
"HEY! GUYS!" came a shout from behind them, they all wheeled round to face the speaker.
"The Gelfs have stopped hunting us!" jack continued, being the owner of the previous call. "They want us to go with them to a wedding on t'other planet!" he fnished. McJohn followed Jack to the others "Yeah, they say its Seymour! should be a laugh if anything!" he added, beginning to chuckle at the thought of seymour marrying a Gelf.
There was an uneasy silence at this, it looked like everyone was trying to stop themselves from laughing. Surprisingly, they all succeeded. "right, so they want to get us out of here? works for me!" said Dean, hanging up his previous thoughts of a horrible death being just outside the cave, and exchanging them for a party being there instead.
"Right, let's get out of here." said Alota, putting the brochure in her pocket. "Dean? We'll get in the Rafven and follow their ship over to the correct planet. Alright everyone, MOVE OUT!"
<we're on our way!>
