Episode 0477 - The Upgrades: Captain, Kirin, Leila, Sales, Ops, Skipper, Vanna, Zola, ~ 08 ``Kirin: Captain, we have received a flight plan from Vanna for Space Cavern. ``Captain: Blimey, what is it with these earthlings, they want everything done yesterday so they have nothing to do tomorrow. ``Kirin: It appears to be their culture. ``Captain: Anyway it is approved, so send it off. ``Kirin: Zaa Captain, whilst I am here, everyone is quietly saying it has to be the Vulcan. ``Captain: Zaa, zaa, it will happen, but the first trip will be in the S182, and Sales are enquiring about more mods which can be done to improve our speed. ``Kirin: Excellent. Let us hope that Vanna comes back, with some fresh ideas. {Skipper’s Place + Leila ~2} ``Skipper: What is it with you earthlings, as you think about something, and then you just get on and do it. ``Leila: There is some truth in that, and is why we were brought in to help sort you lot out. ``Skipper: Some Beings still think that you want to take over. ``Leila: No way, and it would have to be done democratically, unless there was a coup, which we had not started. ``Skipper: I am still puzzled, where I came from. ``Leila: Get a DNA test done, and send it over to Planet Q. ``Skipper: I will have to. ``Leila: You have been down our catacombs? ``Skipper: Zaa, but it was a blank or nothing. ``Leila: There may be another run to Planet Q, shortly, so talk to Qualla, and she will send off your request. ``Skipper: Another trip? ``Leila: Zaa. Vanna wants direct access to their satellite system. Therefore you could come with us. ``Skipper: Agreed. {Space Cavern + Guests ~ 4} ``Ops: A pleasant trip I hope? ``Vanna: Very tiring, as it seemed to take ages to get here. ``Zola: It was okay, but I had trouble navigating. There were no way points for 1-time, over the desert range. Fortunately you picked us up on SCADA, as we were 5º off course. ``Ops: Let us go into the canteen. I think we all need a drink. --- ``Zola: That is better. ``Vanna: I too needed that. Ops: If you intend to do longer trips, then you ought to put in the global navigational version. ``Vanna: How much? ``Ops: I do not know why, but money always comes up first. I will go and check, but about ¢8-10K. ``Vanna: Are you implying you have it in stock? ``Ops: Zaa. ``Vanna: Can you do it now? ``Ops: Well, zaa, I think so. I will pipe my Manager in. --- ``Sales: Hallo Vanna, and I have not met your friend. ``Zola: I am Zola. ``Sales: Zenden. Actually we do have one, which has been refurbished, as they said it was faulty, but we could not find any fault with it. ``Vanna: How much? ``Sales: Well, we can do it for ¢5K. ``Vanna: Full warranty? ``Sales: Naturally. ``Vanna: Fine, get it in now, quin? ``Sales: Approved. ``Vanna: ``My scroll card. ``Sales: Zarfs. ``Zola: This will make a lot of difference. ``Sales: I will need to borrow your token key. ``Vanna: How long will it be before all your extension works are completed? ``Ops: 2-4 weeks. ``Vanna: So can we arrange to have the Vulcan over here by then? ``Ops: Zaa, but you are very enthusiastic. ``Zola: We also need to know, can you boost up our S182? ``Ops: Your Captain, has asked us to see if there is an additional option available. There is only one possibility with a new modified fuel injector system, which should help, but we do not know, how much more Mach speed, you will gain. ``Vanna: How much? ``Ops: I had a feeling you were going to ask that next, and you are talking about ¢28K. ``Zola: We have the budget. ``Ops: In that case, I will chase it up. ``Vanna: Our Captain will agree to it, but it has to be done officially. ``Ops: Can I take you two for a tour around our new complex? ``Vanna: Certus. ``Ops: Naturally lunch will be on us, as it will take a couple of hours and a test flight to do your Hopper-hopper. There is dust everywhere, so please wear these overalls, ear muffs, and safety glasses. ``Vanna: It is huge, but I do not see the fuel line! ``Ops: It is underground. ``Vanna: But it is too short. ``Ops: Oh heck. < Previous Page 476 Pollux <12.1.8> Warming [06 = 419 <463> 00 = 105] Next Page 478> |
