Description
James: How much are they asking for you? Oh dear. Interesting - tell me, how much have you got in your piggy bank now, Chomper? I see. And Mogbot hasn't got any money at all? Um. Well, tell them the Commander said she would give them five bob* to keep you.
[Aside to radio operator: Got a fix on his position yet?]
[Operator: Gynoid reports weak signal masked by cave in sector 314-159]
James: What's that, Chomper - they say they'll melt you down if we don't pay up. Well, you do realise we have a whole store of unused new Chompers here.
[Nearest rescue unit?]
[On its way]
[Strong signal coming in from Mogbot, James]
Yes, well stop fretting, Chomper. I'll go and have a look in our money-box and see how much we've got in the holiday fund. Though I'm not sure it'll reach to what those Silurians want for you.
---------------
Commander (listening in): Now we've got him - alert Rapid Strike Squadron - we'll take out those Silurian creatures and rid ourselves of Chomper at the same time!
DroidThree: You can't do that, the Silurians aren't presenting any threat, and Chomper belongs to James.
Commander: Of course I can. I'm the Commander here, and what I say goes.
Rapid Strike Squadron - Alert! Immediate take-off - proceed to target sector 314-159 and eliminate all undesirables!
DroidFour (aside to Gynoid): get over to James now - quickly!
Gynoid: Not enough time - look, they're airborne already!
---------------------
Operator: Cavern identified, James. Rescue squad disembarking and approaching target.
James: No firing unless absolutely necessary. We're not starting a war here.
Operator: Warplanes approaching! Rapid Strike Squadron!
James: Turn them back - cancel their orders!
(*Five bob = five shillings, 1/4 of the old pound, roughly equivalent to a dollar in the fifties; in this story now five-twelfths of the Sterling and still equal to five dozen pence.)
