Episode 0022 - The trip home: Captain, Jarry, Elder 4, Leila, Qualla, Taxi, Wendy, ~ 07 ``Elder 4: I am impressed with the detail report that you have submitted. The cost of fuel is ¢1,155 Qintars per top up. The average cost of wages per Being is 800 Qintars per month. There is a compulsory break, after one week or for a two-day continuous journey. There is a stand-by crew, but they usually only do the local runs. You are correct in your assumption that all the bills come through us, for direct payment, which have been pre-approved. Now, how much are we going to pay you per month? I will pay you 400 qintars each. And I will make Scotty a special allowance of ¢250 as he is helping us so much. A traveller to Earth, will get a ¢600 payment. ``Leila: Very nice, and thank you. Zarfs. ``Scotty: Zaffre. ``Wendy: Zaffre. ``Elder 4: I am amazed and deeply impressed with the way you have handled all these calculations, and your in-depth understanding of basics. You have kept me on the hop, and I too had to update my calculations, which I like. As well as that, I am conducting an interim audit, which will take a while, because of some drastic anomalies. Therefore, for my gratitude the new navigational computer system is being installed. So as soon as tests are completed, you are free to take a trip home to your planet. ``Scotty & Wendy & Leila: [Zaffre]. ``Leila: Are you coming as well? ``Scotty: Not this time, maybe the next time. {Elders - Meeting Room ~ 3} ``Wendy: Have you had any success with volunteers who will come to Earth with us? ``Qualla: Quite a few have applied, but as you have noticed, I have narrowed it down to ten! ``Leila: In that case, as we are leaving shortly, it will have to wait for the next trip. ``Qualla: Agreed. ``Wendy: There is another problem, where are we going to hide our alien friend? ``Leila: Good point and we will have to find a hiding place for him in a house or something, out of sight. ``Wendy: Or her! ``Leila: Whatever, Cat or Bear. {Wendy’s Trullo ~ 5} - [To Space Dock] ``Qualla: Zibo. I take you to Space Dock, for the early morning flight back to Earth. --- ``Leila: Zarfs Qualla. --- ``Jarry: Zibo. ``Leila: Zibo. ``Wendy: Zibo. ``Jarry: We will be lift-off in 5 units. ``Wendy: Zarfs. --- Lift-off --- ``Jarry: Drinks --- Zarfs. ``Leila: The crew are much more friendly. ``Wendy: I trust that you will keep up the ‘public relations’ with Kirin? ``Leila: Cheeky! The question now is, where are we going to land? ``Wendy: In this case, the same place, but we must look for an alternative portal site.--- ``Captain: I will give you a necklace each, which has some beautiful emeralds, but built into them are some crystals. These crystals have a homing device, which means that we can track you better, and they will glow. They came with the navigational upgrade so we are testing them out, and I too thank you. ``Wendy: Zarfs. ``Leila: Zarfs. --- It is compulsory kip time! ``Wendy: Agreed. --- ``Jarry: Zila, zila --- Food. ``Leila: Zarfs. We have time for a couple of games! ``Wendy: Sure, and I think we will have some fun on landing. --- Get strapped in. --- Blimey, that is a strong negative g-force, which was just as bad in lifting off. ``Leila: It is trying to pull us out of our seats. --- However, we are down so lets go! --- [Zimo] --- Not bad early morning, for Earth. {Portal Site ~ 3} - [Back on Earth] ``Wendy: It seems a shame that they have flown off without us! ``Leila: It is sad –--- Blimey, it is a struggle! ``Wendy: My legs are wobbly. ``Leila: Let’s walk down to the garage. --- ``Wendy: There is one! ``Leila: Taxi, are you free? Taxi: I was going on another call, but I am early so where do you want to go? ``Leila: The Lock please, our car has broken down so we have left it, in the garage. --- Taxi: That is £15 please? ``Wendy: Here is £20 and keep the change. ``Taxi: Thanks. ``Leila: [Knock, knock] It may take a few minutes to wake mother up. --- Mum, Wakey; wakey! It’s Leila! < zarfs = thanks – Zibo = Morning> < Previous Page 21 Ursa [24 = 024 <024> 01 = 001] 00.3.8 Sum Next Page 23> |
