Vera sat in the cargo bay. She was getting tired of being the third wheel in this pantomime. After all, she was top bill, wasn't she? She struggled with her bonds and found, once again, that they were tight and not budging. The Japanese sailors brought the large cylinders into the bay. There were four of them. Each of them had Japanese glyphs painted on them. She wished that she had paid attention in class when she'd taken the Japanese course in High School.
Fujimora moaned loudly in the corner. She really wished that he wouldn't do that. He sounded awful and she didn't wnat her last... She didn't want to be hearing that when... She just didn't want to hear that right now. And the socks were back. That was stranger than the first time that she had heard Vivaldi talk. Even considering that it had been a five minute monologue, none of which could have been printed in a family newspaper. Even the prepositions had been vulgar. They were creeping around the parachute pack. She was quite certain that there was something about to happen. |

Harv and Vivaldi sat in the cockpit, feeling helpless. The socks' plan could only be played out back at Lake Gatun.
"Sort of quiet out there," said Harv. "Yeah. Too quiet, if you know what I mean."" Last edited by pshrynk; 11-15-2008 at 12:09 PM. |

Myatake came forward. "We are ready to go."
"How much weight are we carrying?" "An extra four hundred pounds. Your plane should be able to handle it." Harv did some mental calculations. "Should be no problem. Back to Gatun?" "That will do. Oh, and should you have any ideas of trying any of your 'fancy' maneuvers, just be aware that there are not enough seats in the back for everyone and your Miss Vera will be riding without a seatbelt." "Bastard!" "Not according to my mother. For a dog, you are quite lippy." "Whatever. Strap yourself in, laughing boy. I'd hate for you to fly out witht the slipstream on takeoff." "How droll." "You know," said Harv after Myatake had left, "It doesn't do any good to antagonize him." "Doesn't hurt, either." "True enough." "Wanta skip the checklist again?" "Check." |

After they were airborn, Harv turned to Vivaldi and said, "Take over. I need to get the harness ready."
"I'm enjoying having my head out the window too much. Why not turn on the autopilot" They both looked down at the control panel. There in the middle was a plate labeled "M.A.R.V.I.N." "You mean the Multi-Axial Reactive Vortex Inertial Navigator?" "We have another autopilot?" Harv flicked the switch. "Well, it took you long enough. It's not like anyone really cares about the autopilot." "Just fly the plane. Vivaldi -- wiggle the controls every now and then to make sure the passengers don't get suspicious that we're up to something." "Oh, sure. Ask the dog to do it. He's an organic being. Not that having a Genuine People Personality Prototype is good enough to fake the flight characteristics of a real person. It's very depressing." Last edited by pshrynk; 11-15-2008 at 10:17 PM. |
