WOOF WOOOF WOOF WOOOOOOF WOOOF WOOF WOOOOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF

*stand at door hoping they now understand*

Tuc, why is Snowy barking like this?

*snowy hangs her head in desperation why have they not noticed that Tuc missing? She trundles out in search of caerwynn maybe she will understand better*

Ah, yes, the ship is very much still here, of course, it is the bar that is fading...
Or is it me?
Is there time for a last glass of

Let me see...

Oh, yes, I found a bottle of champaigne but I'm afraid the glasses are all gone already.

Well, that's better still
Care to share the bottle?

* leaves Pod and Hati with some of the remaining and follows Snowy out of the bar windering where Tuc is *

* thinks that she hould not have drunk so much and tries wondering instead, which leads her to remember that she has not drunk anything - maybe that is the problem *

Enough now!
Cheers!

*enter alec, for it is he*
'morning hati, pod...

*approaches dormant swashbot in the corner, covered in backlog*

!!!!AUFWACHEN...PUTZEN...ENTSTAUBEN...SAUGEN...ALLES ORDENTLICH MACHEN!!!

phew, this is hard work...

*the swashbot stirs slowly, the camera lens hood blinks open, the sound of servo-motors is heard as the three robotic arms unfold...

the centre arm clutches a huge sword, the left and right arms meet, lock hands together and swashbot ...cracks its knuckles!

the device propels itself around the bar, cleaning here, dusting there, applying its built in vacuum cleaner where necessary, picking up the sheets of old backlog and making them into a nice pile...

alec is a little concerned about the third arm, the one with the sword, but it does not appear to be doing anything threatening at the moment.*

'well, this looks like it is going to work.'

alec.

Alec, once the place is sorted I hope to house the in here. Will the swashbot move to Lights new place?

...erm yes...under its own steam i think...

*swashbot is now using a toothbrush to remove all thecrumbs from the floorboards*

alec

Could it do something with the cockroaches, too?

*swashbot produces a flute from its array of attachments, and begins to play 'fur elise'...

...the roaches emerge from their hiding places and march in step towards the swashbot...

...swashbot deftly swoops down with the vacuum attachment and inhales the entire army of roaches.

...continues to flute for a while before resuming "PUTZEN" mode.

alec

Blimey, good work Alec and swashbot. Beethoven too. He certainly is a German bot isnt he.

Soon time for the 5K party

Things are slow here today, aren't they? I guess the problem is in the new thread - the liquids are moved there already and here's only cleaning etc.
When will we reach this 5K then?

LIGHT !!!!!!!!! R U THERE

Hi Hati

I thought today but not yet and I retire to the Brewhouse in a couple of hours. Ho hum, tomorrow perhaps

Wish I owned a swashbot..........

*Walks in the bar, looks at everyone present.

Then stares at the swashbot.*

What's the sword for?

* rushes back into this thread to see how the clearing up is going *

Hi Guys, how are you doing? This place is almost sorted now, please come and join us in the new bar whenyou are ready, as you say most of the drinks are there all ready.

Wow Alec, the Swash Bot is being very through!

* Sees Devil Man * Hello Stranger - how have you been
