Book 6: Resident Mad Scientist — Part III: Life's a Beach

Transcript

NARRATOR: The recently commissioned Reverend Lieutenant Theo Fobius is off to break bad news.  He has brought two grunts with him: Nick and Shep - some of Captain Kaff Tagon's original recruits.

THEO: Okay, guys, this is the place.  Remember, let me do all the talking.  Just stand at ease and look respectable.

NICK: Heh.  Us, look respectable?

SHEP: Hey cut 'im some slack, Nick.  The new Louies always issue stupid orders.

NARRATOR: Shep's visor is a symbiont he picked up as a child on Venus.  It allows him to see quite a bit better than the others.  This is important, because he's about to see something.

SFX: RIIIING.

SFX: WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

SFX: RIIIIIIIIING.

SFX: WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

THEO: Nobody's home.  Maybe he's out eating or shopping or something.

SHEP: Oh, there's somebody home.  Three somebodies.  They jus' don' want to come to the door.

NICK: Shep, peekin' like that is jus' rude.

SHEP: Whoa... helmets up!  NOW!

SHEP: Lemme show ya some rude.

NARRATOR: The rude actions of Nick and Shep (as well as the response from their newbie Reverend Louie) will have to wait.  Be patient.  Churlish impatience would be rude.
