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

Let me talk to Bond...? Please, he'll not shoot if he knows I'm here...

*Volk nods*

*E picks up the radio...*

James, it's Eomando...

Please, don't shoot the sub... Just don't shoot... I'll explain later...

We're almost there OK...

There's a lot you should know...

*E turns off the radio...hoping that JB heeded her...*

*Far away, the mysterious villain ponders*

So, Bond, Liebe, and Volk are aware of the game. What should I do, Fiver?

*The rabbit does not respond. Villain pets rabbit. Replays message and listens carefully*

Hmmm. Eomando did not say that she was on the sub. Bond might still be clueless. However, let's just make our hand that much stronger, shall we?

*Prepares to send message to Bond. Severely enjoys the fact that his telecommunications are even in advance of the Atlanteans. Course, it helps that he knows where they live*

I hope James listens to me... I really do... Perhaps I should have told him I was on the sub with you... No, he's clever enough to guess, and if I'd just told him he might have assumed I was being held hostage...

No, I know James, he won't fire...

*Continues watching with amusement. Pets rabbit*

*Volk watches the sonar screens for the first signs of incoming missiles. Iwans knuckles are white on the controls.*

Volk: I hope you are right about Bond, E. If you are, we will surface near the yacht. If you agree, I would like to send you over to Bond to explain the situation. If he agrees to joining forces, I will come over to the yacht to discuss plans. If he does not agree, you may choose whether to stay with him or come back here to Liebe and me.

Iwan: We are now within firing range of the yacht.

Volk: Well, if Bond was going to fire that thing, he would have by now. I think we are in the clear. Iwan, approach as close as you can, then surface.

Iwan: right boss.

They surface near the yacht:
