Certainly you can have hangar #24... And the mirrors are okay as soon as they're not confusing anybody...

Me likes mirrors... ~grin~... they are good for looking at me in...

*movinG in , carryinG a biG blacK boX (blacK as a blacK hole) ... and lots of mirrors*

... thinK I will decorate this place with mirrors, maKe it looK's Greater ...

*looKinG for a place for this really blacK boX ... *

*looks curious*
What's in that black box?

*looKinG around and whispering*

really blacK boX's stuff, you know !!!

oo a mirror.
*Peregrin looks at a mirror. He notices himself, and suddenly freezes. It's an instinct - he's trying to outstare himself.*

*stare*

Is there space for a Guild Heighliner in one of your hangers? I have a CHOAM contract to fulfill...

We have A LOT of space!! Do you want a hangar? #11 seems to be free...

BB Have you any extra spice? I think I could use some blue eyes!

*Dr J makes note about possible availability of Spice as subject for next issue of the newsletter.

Marv, we have plenty of melange. The spice must flow!

Ummm... hey... is there a hanger I could get my Starliner D-34 in? It's only 340m long so it shouldn't be too hard to fit in. I just got it back from the shipyards at Alledora - man can those Alledar build good starships. And mine is of course crammed with every conceivable luxury anyone could ever think might fit into the space, and some which might surprise you...
But it needs a place to park and refuel. Can I get hold of antideuterium here?

340m? Well, it shouldn't be a problem... Hangar 11 is yours... *hands over the access key and disappears to find out if #11 need expansion or not*

Is my hanger large enough to house a Death Star? It's not finished but hasn't got far to go. And, before you ask, it is fully operational.

A Death Star?? If you really want that into your hangar it probably requires some special arrangements... Perhaps some kind of dimensional portal thingie... May I ask what are you planning to use a Death Star for??

Thanks Alien. Hanger #11? I'll bring my ship down straight away.
Oh, Peregrin, try looking up a rogue time lord if you want some spatial distortion technology. They might need some persuasion to give it up but I think a Death Star can hold a TARDIS to ransom without much trouble. Hell, even my Starliner could do it.

* leaves to shuttle back up to his ship *

It's a very small Death Star. Only slightly bigger than Mars. I'm sure it'll fit.

*Peregrin presses a button on his remote control and the Death Star looms up beside the H2G2 Space Station and moves towards Hanger #8*

Oh, er... ha ha... I suppose it is a little large. *We* seem to be docked in *it*. Oh well.

WHAT did you do!?!? Get us out of here!! It's not proper for a centre like this to be docked in a death star...

Why, bad PR?

*The Death Star moves away. Peregrin panicks, wondering who is controlling it, then remembers that it's himself in another forum*
