Does that mean i can get dressed again now?

*E taps donut & speaks distractedly...*

I suppose so, DD...

*DD replaces his red CK boxers, Liverpool shorts and security top*

Now I feel better. Great work with that flame thrower E.

Thanks DD...

...I've still got to find the Snowzar...

Any idea where it might be?

Ow!!!

Someone needs to make these vents easier to crawl through...

I don't know where it is... I haven't even the faintest idea of where to start... I'll just keep crawling around here I suppose until I find it...

Hmm...

I've never noticed that before...

so what's a snowzar, if you don't mind me asking ?

What that the vents are too sma....

*Follows E's gaze*

No neither have I and I know this ship....

*E looks closer look at the thing she hadn't noticed before...*

What *is* that...?

I dinae ken, put it shouldn't be cluttering up my corridor, I think we'd better call security down here to investigate.

DD, security's in the vent with me...which is where this thing is... Is there one out there in the corridor too...?

Aye lass, just here in front of me. MAybe it's some sort of strange non-humanoid boarding party.

*Donut*
Guys, there's an anchovy calling in from the Pizza ship, and he's not happy. Apparently our photon torpedo caused all of the olives to roll off their bread based tomato and cheese based circular snack foods. It's carnage in there.

What should I tell him?

Tell 'em that it's probably best that there's no olives on anymore...

*E backs cautiously away from the wierd thing in the ducts... Backing slowly down another junction...*

*E spies the Snowzar out of the corner of her eye... She picks it up & decides to get out of the ducts as quickly as possible...before the wierd thing did something...*

Esirpretne, this is Al. I'm going to try to sneak on board the Pizzar ship. I can't help but wonder if the sudden appearance of Charlie Dimmock's breasts, or whatever were in the ducts, along with these two odd objects you've found, are coinciding with the PIzzars' appearance entirely by chance... Mr Mandarb, you're at Ops, check and see if you can pick up any transporter beam residue.

*stops for a moment, realising that he doesn't know if Mandarb is on duty or not*

Okay, whoever's on the bridge can do it.

*pilots shuttle towards Pizzar ship*

*realises belatedly that it's CD4 who's at Ops, not Mandarb, who's Assistant Engineer. never mind, eh?*

*E walks onto the bridge, then after handing GL his snowzar, she goes over to Op's to check for residual transporter traces...*

Hey guys. What's happening?

*E pushes some more button-things on the Op's console*

I'm trying to see if there are any residual transporter traces coming from the other ship... We need to find out how those...whatever-they-were's came from...

*The console bleeps a few times & data flashes up*

*Taps Donut*

Al, I'm getting residual transporter traces...but they're old...and, well, wierd... Something came from their ship alright...

*DD approaches the strange object he has found*

It has writing on it.
