Who: Seymour, Queen Britney, Dai
Where: TransMed
When:
<snip>
"Now go get me out of there. And stop thinking about my bottom." Said
fully-grown Alota
"Seymour?!" He blinked at the screamed voice and he was back in the zero-gravity
room. Brittany was hammering on the glass frantically. He kicked off the wall
and floated out of the zero-gravity area, gingerly stepped over Lester's corpse
and joined his Queen in the ante-room.
"What? What is it?"
<end snip>
Seymour looked back into the zero-gravity room, with a hope that Alota was still
there. The room was empty, but he looked down into his arms. Baby Alota was
asleep with her face tucked into his armpit. He hoped she seriously wouldn't be
sick on his nice clean suit. Although with the amount he'd been through today,
his suit was anything but clean.
"Seymour are you listening to me? As your Queen, I order you to listen!"
"I'm sorry ma'am." Seymour said.
"We need to-"
"Two years old. She's grown so much."
"Seymour!"
"Sorry ma'am. I was distracted. It's just, look how big she is, and she's really
heavy!"
"Seymour we need to go. There's alarms going off all over the place!"
Seymour's attention snapped back. "I'm sorry. I'm ready to take my daughter out
of here. This is no place for a baby!"
A lift door opened and a bunch of guards stepped out. Dai bounded over and
swiped them with a vending machine fist. This bought them all some time.
"This way!" Said Seymour.
"Why?" Asked Brittany.
"It looks like an exit."
"It doesn't look vaguely exit-y. I say this way, and I over-rule you because I'm
your Queen."
"Ma'am please. I have a lot of experience in running away. Let me find an
escape."
"Wait!" She said, as Seymour carried Alota down the corridor. "What about this
Lester guy?"
Seymour turned. "Leave him. He's nuts."
"But he's ... dead. He died to save your baby!"
Seymour sagged his shoulders. "Good point ma'am. I do owe him a lot. At the very
least we should carry his lifeless body out of here and give him a proper
funeral when we get back to the Blue Dwarf."
"Sod that. I was just thinking of putting his body in that furnace over there."
"We could do that instead." Seymour admitted.
Seymour placed the sleeping Alota down on the floor and er the corpse of Lester.
"What are you waiting for?" Asked Brittany.
"I'm not picking him up. I'm a Royal Ambassador, I don't do 'disposal of the
dead'."
"Well I'm a Queen! I'm not doing it!"
"Touché. Lets wait for Dai."
Dai flew past them followed by a large rampaging armadillo. "Bit busy I am." He
said.
The armadillo disappeared into a swirling wormhole and reappeared at the end of
the corridor. Dai grabbed it around the neck with his mech arms and pushed it
into a nearby lab. He came out again covered in some sort of green acid. He
washed himself off using a small sprinkler nearby, and then jumped back into the
lab again to finish the creature off.
Seymour realised he'd have to do it himself and dragged the lifeless body of
Lester into some sort of machine that was nearby. "What does this do anyway?"
Brittany asked.
Seymour shrugged. "No idea. What does any of the fantastical inventions around
here do? It will either disperse his atoms across the galaxies, or turn him into
a bottle of Chateau Lefitte 1787."
Brittany scowled. She hated it when Seymour made jokes about wines. She turned
around. "Where's Alota."
"My baby? MY BABY!" Seymour screamed as he saw Alota crawling away down the
corridor.
