h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Okay, so nothing out of the ordinary then.

Is there anything around for me to do or should I just fall back asleep?

Errrrrrrrm, not that I can think of ATM, maybe Major Scandrea has something for you, don't you have some research to do

*climbs the ladder to see if he can make room for the Colonel's cast*

*call's down from the cockpit*

I think we can make room for your cast ma'am. By the way, the practice of refering to a vessel as 'she' goes back to ancient Greece where sailors believed placing the visage of a beautiful woman on the bow would quiet the sea god and convince him not to swallow them whole.

*looks down smiling*

*Looks up and grins*

So are you going to take me to heaven and back then

*there is a sound behind them*

Captain Kat requesting permission to speak to you for a minute colonel ma'am before your flight.

*Turns around*

Yes Captain, what can I do for you

Do I have your permission to attempt to recreate the chemical used in sedation and to synthesise an antidote to the aforementioned? I think I can have results to show you within the day, and I would also request pemisison to be present at interrogation of the prisoner?

Permission granted

As long as you have everything under control

When you see Dr Anthea can you ask her to page me

I believe that she has been having problems in the family ma'am and requested leave.

Ok

I will be watching Captain, don't let me see you in the same state you were in last night, get help before I get it for you

*lifts chin and gazes at the colonel before blinking and snapping round and leaving*

I'm going to have trouble with that one,

*laughs*

The plague of being the boss.

*climbs down the ladder*

If you'll follow me ma'am I can show you where you can find a flight suit. I'm a little worried about the cast, but if you're willing to risk it I'd be happy to take you into the wild blue yonder.

*Dons the flight suit and hobbles up the ladder*

Take me to heaven and back Major

*climbs up the ladder and situates himself*

I do try to take her to heaven and back twice a day.

*secures himself and starts the pre-flight checklist*

Lucky her,

Ok Major so show me what the X-309 can do
