| It appears to be a Swinefleet
vessel, sir. |
Yes. Try to open hailing
frequencies. |
|
|
| They're hailing us, sir. Putting it on screen. |
Pardonnay Moi. I am First
Mate Piggy of the swineship Eggers. Would vous have any tellurium
we could borrow? We lost most of ours in a reactor accident. |
|
|
| Jeffereys? |
Swinefleet does not, as
far as we know, use tellurium to stabilize the harmonic reactions inside
the dilithium chamber of their power reactor. |
|
|
| Also,
scanners show their reactor to be humming along nicely. |
This
is Captain Faith of the starship Inflict. My technician tells
me you have no reactor damage. |
|
|
| Well,
it was a few days ago, and we've cleaned everything up since then. |
We also
detect no signs of an accident. |
|
|
| The
signs are there...maybe you should scoot an eensy bit closer to scan? |
I don't
think they're going for it. |
|
|
| Well, girdle-boy, if you think you can do a better job, go ahead. |
I think that is the first time I've actually seen someone flounce off.. |
|
|
| Hi. I'm Captain Throb of the Swineship Hammon and I
- |
Your first mate said it was the Eggers. |
|
|
|
| Hammond Eggers? I'm starting to get hungry. |
Well, between you and me, anything that isn't part of her makeup routine is a peripheral detail to First Mate Piggy. |
|
|
|
| What do you want, Throb? |
Oh, we, well, um, krssh...krrrsh...fizzle My what a bad connection. krrrsh...fizzle...fizzle You should move closer. |
|
|
| Shields up! Throb, you are aware that you're
on a viewscreen? That I can see you crinkling paper in
front of the mike pickup? |
Um...crackle crackle? |
|
|
| Sir! We raised shields too late! There's an intruder
on Deck 127! |
chirrp! We're on it! |
