[LazyScot]

LazyScot, Zelda, Nekokami, the JukeBox topped by the angora rabbits and hitch-hiking chinchillas reached the T-junction at the same time as the Pandaborg. Pandaborg-B looked at the jukebox, topped with the colourful angora rabbits, which were performing ever more complex (and geometrically incredible) rabbit pyramids, each time to a round of enthusiastic applause from the chinchillas (who were still wearing their Merry Christmas hats).

"I see you got the music and rabbits, " said Pandaborg-B eventually, clearly deciding not to ask about the chinchillas or the cheerleading team performance taking place on the JukeBox. "Shall we head back?"

LazyScot looked at the group of Pandaborg, and carefully counted. "Let me guess, someone asked some searching question?"

"Me um heap-big chief!" replied the recently acutelated Pandaborg who was wearing native America clothing.

"Don't let that silly tourist stereotype fool you, he's read all the Pratchett books!" said the Pandaborg policeman, slapping his new friend on the back.

Pandaborg-B shrugged as if to say, "hey, no harm done." At the same time, Pandaborg-R glared at Pandaborg-B in a way that did imply deep friendship. Whether this was because he had been apparently reduced to a non-speaking part, he was annoyed about yet another acutelation or for some deeper, darker reason could not be divined.

As they group headed back to the overloaded BatPickUp, which they could see through the glass front of the POOP building, LazyScot observed "I think we have a problem."

"pity the batai isn't called huston, " giggled Zelda.

"No, seriously. We've now got this jukebox and an extra Pandaborg. How are going to get all this back. The BatPickUp is already overloaded, and there's no space in the trailer with the llamas, and we've already filled up the Pandborg Harley's as much as we can."
"He's got a point," said the BatAI. "And no, I'm not called Huston."

"Oh, it's no problem," said Pandaborg-B with a delighted smile, which got LazyScot very worried who was only distracted by a particularly loud round of applause from the chinchillas just as they reached the pickup. "I'm going to enjoy this!"

And with that he passed his Harley over to the Pandaborg Indian, and unloaded the VentureOne. The JukeBox jumped up to the space in the batPickUp where the VentureOne had been, whilst the rabbits and chinchillas squeezed into the back of the VentureOne. And with that, Pandaborg-B got into the VentureOne, pressed the amber start button to the sound of silence.

"Hello, where would you like to go?" asked Penelope Cruz/VentureOne.

"Hello, georgeous; what's your network address, " asked the BatAI, perhaps too enthusiastically.

"Oh, hello. Sure." And with that the BatAI and VentureOneAI started whistling melodically at each other for a few seconds, before falling silent.

"If you've quite finished exchanging telephone numbers, could we PLEASE get back to the Lounge?" asked LazyScot, slightly irritatedly. And after a few more seconds added, "BatAI???!"

"What? Huh? Sorry sure," replied the BatAI, albeit with the sound of Penelope Cruz giggling in the background.

"I don't think Steve Jordan is going to be too pleased with that," observed Nekokami as they squeezed back into the BatPickUp. And with that, the convoy headed back towards the lounge.

"Uh-oh!" said the BatAI, after about a minute.

"Uh-oh? How uh-oh? What uh-oh?" said a suddenly re-nervous LazyScot.

"I think one of the Google search engines has become fully sentient and has take exception to our little shopping trip. I think… Owww. Oi!" said the BatAI

"Ouch, don't you dare," said Penny.

"Right, that's it…." Said the BatAI followed by silence.

"BatAI?" asked a shocked LazyScot. The silence continued.
