Episode 0232 - Interjection: Captain, Leila, Ming, Qualla, Selina, Tetra, Scotty, Vanna, Zola, ~ 09 ``Selina: Heavens qaa, but it is possible, because when our by-monthly curse starts up it is very quiet, and builds up over the next three qefs, then it becomes rampant for three qefs, and lingers away for another three qefs. So it takes a total of ten qefs cycle. ``Vanna: But you only have one period every eighty qefs or two of your moths? ``Selina: Zaa. The orbits of our satellite planets, can make us even more moody and depressed at times. ``Vanna: So you are not too old? ``Selina: Heavens qaa, you can live for 900 years and still be active, but you say yours is monthly? ``Vanna: About every 24 of your qefs. When do young Cats start up? ``Selina: It varies, but usually after the age of 16. ``Vanna: That is much better and a relief. ``Selina: I think we have time for Tetra. ``Vanna: I am quinned to hear that. ``Tetra. Can I help dish up? {Ming’s Place + Leila ~ 2} ``Leila: Thank you for your help, I would have never got through the language barrier or known what to ask for! ``Ming: I am pleased to help! In fact I have learnt a lot myself. ``Leila: I will have to go back for a fitting in three qefs time, so quin come with me? ``Ming: Confirmed. The tailor was surprised as well. ``Leila: That is what I thought. ``Ming: The newer materials are now much lighter and not like your original ones. It was not an easy choice, and I help to convince her you have got it right. ``Leila: Regardless of buying you lunch this qef, can I please take you out for dinner? ``Ming: That it most kind, as long as it is not expected every time we meet! ``Leila: I will make it a one-off situation. ``Ming: Twin Peaks Restaurant is only 8 Km from here, so we could have a light dinner up there? ``Leila: Absolutely, especially as I have only been there to see the illusion. ``Ming: It is standard cultural food of Cassiopeia, so as not to spend too much money, we could have their special. ``Leila: Excellent idea. I have to get back afterwards for a meeting. {Vanna’s Trullo, Meeting ~ 5 + Captain} ``Vanna: Thank you for coming over. Could we have a Hopper-pad please, then you could have been here in units of time? ``Leila: The same as Selina’s! ``Captain: You can, but it will cost you. ``Scotty: How about a tunnel? ``Captain: I could ask Udal to cost it up! ``Qualla: It is a distance of 10 Km on the map from here! ``Zola: Let’s all club together and have the Hopper-pad? ``Vanna: Talking about that I have studied our local maps from Earth and I have a new large scale one of the Outer Hebrides, where there are many tiny islands! Papparay is south west of Barra and it is one of uninhabited island, about 1.5 Km long and only has a shepherd. It does have lochs, streams and steep hills, and there are remains on two sites. I was thinking we could land there for a period in time? The shore lines of other islands are at a sensible distance away. ``Captain: This is feasible, but we will need a cloaking device which works on the ground, especially as you are going satellite mad, on your planet Earth. Therefore I have asked Space Cavern, and they are making enquiries. In theory it should be possible, but no ideas as to cost or availability. ``Zola: On our next run can we go and take a look at this island? ``Captain: Zaa, but it will have to be when it is dark, and we now have two night imaging cameras. ``Vanna: Thinking ahead, what is the latest on landing in China? ``Captain: Regardless of it being logged in my logbook as a landing, the crew have all agreed, but it is the Oligarchy who has to understand and accept that I will take evasive action if needed. ``Zola: Agreed. ``Captain: The problem is that although my passengers do come first, I do need to save the saucer, otherwise I cannot get back to help you all. ``Scotty: No saucer, no way home! ``Captain: Exactly, and there is no backup plan, If we were to sustain damage, It could take Wesks to get home without Hyperdrive. Therefore I will ask Kara to create emergency ration packs. ``Leila: You will not get drunk on it! ``Scotty: Oh! It reminds me of when we had rationing in the war, back on Earth.
