Change of Scenery?

Who: Dante, Charlie, NSD
Where: the Science labs
When: 3hrs past the mole, (sorry don't have a watch)
Dante looked down the corridor outside of the science labs. He caught
a glimpse of his reflection in a mirror just down said corridor. The
look of anxiety on his face was a strange site for Dante so he lost
it quickly. "NSD, will you please hurry up?"
"I'm sorry Dante," replied the geek who sat tapping away at the
computer "But whoever this Hal geyser is he has made a right mess of
my comms system"
"I don't really care NSD about how you do it just do it quickly.
Harris needs to know where that crazy cowboy is taking this boat."
"Yes I know you keep saying. But if Harris knows you're doing this
then why are you staring down the corridor as if the big monster is
coming again." The skinny NSD behind the computer asked the giant.
"I told you that big monster was just mini Phil mounting a goat and
playing Buckaroo around the ship. And the reason I am standing here
is because that Eddie guy is out now and is `bessie' mates with the
cowboy."
"So you're scared of Eddie?" posed Charlie who was now peering over
NSD shoulder.
"No I am bloody not!!" Roared Dante in response.
"Eureka! I got it! OH SMEG! So have they." NSD went from happy to
scared to wetting himself in about half a nano second.
"What you down now you gormless, white coated pussy whipped excuse
for a half wit. I thought you were supposed to be intelligent and not
make mistak.... Hang about..." said Dante arriving behind
NSD. "That's not good." He said pointing at a message on the
screen. "I have just broadcast the Dwarfs position to every JMC
vessel in the galaxy." Mumbled NSD patheticly
"What the hell did you do that for!" shouted Dante as he clobbered
the helpless scientist around the head with the keyboard.
"Well..." grumbled NSD when the battering had stopped, "You know you
get those emails that ask for you to send a message back
automatically when you read them."
"Yes!!!" growled Dante
"Well you had one of those." NSD flinched waiting for the smack.
"Who from and what did it say?" asked Dante menacingly.
"It's from the Space Corps......... It's a Job offer."
