WE: Here 'ya go Dave. ((Hands Dave a pair of
brown hiking boots))
DM: I already have footwear.
WE: These are NCSF StickyBoots (tm). You can
use
them to walk up walls and on ceilings! So simple to use, there's no
manual.
DM: ((Looking at Brian)) Well, at least
there's that advantage.
HE: With a flannel shirt and the right pants to
go
with those boots, you'd make a fine lumberjack. ((Cue music))
HE & DM: ((Singing)) We are
lumberjacks
and we're ok...
Once again, Brian and Amanda are mesmerized by another
Vicious Circle
custom. Unfortunately, Wesser misses the reference and chalks their
behavior up to the experimental NCSF Flouride / Hallucinogenic additive
that was recently introduced into the Cirran water system.
WE: Here 'ya go Heresy. ((Hands Heresy a
metal
object the size of a Kleenex box))
HE: ((Obviously impressed)) A metal
box!
Outstanding!
WE: It's a NCSF Chameleon Unit / Universal Game
Console (tm). With it, you can blend into your sorroundings and play
any Sega, Nintendo, or Play-Station game. (Batteries not included)
HE: Woo hoo! ((Runs off before Wesser can
change
his mind and take it back))

BS: That boy's on a sugar-high diet, isn't he?
WE: Here 'ya go Amanda. ((Hands Amanda a
metal
box which looks suspiciously like the one Heresy got))
AH: Didn't you just give one of these to
Heresy?
WE: Nope, this is a NCSF Long Range
Communicator /
Fizzy-Cola Dispenser (tm). The communicator is so that your team can
keep in contact with the Goddess. The Fizzy-Cola is a refreshing thirst
quencher. Instructions are on the bottom.
AH: ((Turns box over)) Wow, convenient
instructions. ((Glances at Brian and the heavy manual he's holding))
Thanks Wes!
WE: (Well, at least one of them is polite) ((Starts
handing out forms)) Fill out these forms in triplicate before you
leave. Remember to use your equipment and don't break any of it. Time
for you to go back up to the conference room.
Wesser leads the troubleshooters back to the elevator
and sees them
off.
The foursome file back into the conference room, where the Goddess and
Leicky are waiting.
LK: Oh good, you're back. Now that you have
your
equipment it's time for the Goddess to say a few last words.
GC: I just want to wish you all good luck.
Watch out
for Commie Mutant Traitor Scum. And, hmm... what was it?, oh yes...
DON'T COME BACK WITHOUT MY SLINKY!!!
