"I think I see where you're going with this, Logan, and I'm in total agreement. You know what really gets commies and their egalitarian eating utensils? Explosions. Big, devastating explosions that blow them and their salad forks and shrimp forks and paring knives all into little, itty, bitty bits. Just Boom! and no more commies, no more 12 piece dining set, just you and your spoon and all the happiness and contentment you can have with it. Big, big explosions...that's the answer!"
BUH-GAWK!
Tim tucks up his arms and does a strange little dance.
"*ahem* Speaking of that subject, since that stall Boris pointed out is so near at hand, I think I'll pop over for a little look-see while we're waiting on Horton."

Tim heads over to the weapons stall and looks for explosives. After all, with a name and skills like mine, I'm going to have to blow up something or someone eventually...maybe myself in the process.
"Yes,sir, of course sir. Considering how close it is, I'm sure I could get there and back in no more than 18 seconds, sir. I might even come back with things that will allow us to blow commies into little, itty, bitty bits..."
"Commies have 12-piece dining sets?" Logan eyes Tim warily. "That's hard to believe. It's so.. so capitalistic! Imagine all the money that could be made if everyone had to buy 12 pieces instead of just a fork and spoon."

"Well, I don't know...I was just trying to make a point. I don't know much about commies except that they're traitors and enemies of The Computer. My main point wasn't so much the utensils as it was the blowing up part. I mean, if you don't buy anything and you're just given things, you can have as much as you want, right? Or as much as they want?"
*twitch*
"This isn't a very fun conversation anymore." Tim pulls out his pack of smokes and sticks one in his mouth, then offers the pack to Logan.

"Cigarette?"
"No thanks, I just passed a hygiene inspection." Logan sighs, "Look, man, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring you down. Thing is... You like my spoon. So you're all right. And that blowing up part... that's good stuff."
What security clearance is that spoon, must be at least Orange it does have 2 "O"s in it...Sp-O-on??? And it was at an underground market...or is it like IR clearance? Is it a special spoon?? like a coke spoon? or a grapefruit spoon? Solid silver or titanium?
"Computer, my team is still with Citizen Homer-G-DUF. Should I dispatch part of my team to deliver the bot, and have the other half of the team continue to escort Homer-G-DUF." ""All Hail the Glory of the wise and omnipotent computer"
I'd go bootlicking too if the bot won't crush me when I bend over.
Yeah, you poor guy. We'll get in over our heads and while the rest of us are running for the metaphorical hills, you'll be dragging that bot behind you.
"That bot looks heavy and awkward. Tsk, tsk. Still, I have no doubt your selfless loyalty will be rewarded. As loyalty officer I'll recommend you for an appropriate commendation for your extra labor."
Takes a drag off his cigarette and blows a smoke ring.
You hurry your asses back upstairs and meet up with Horton-R-DUF. You then hurry back to the air transport deck. However, you are required to take a new air bot to get to RUM, as the last one had to be taken away for inspection and cleaning. The "new" air-bot isn't so new, and it is also very small. You all find yourselves crammed into the small passenger area, with shoulders squished up against one another. Even Homer and Barneby are forced to squeeze in with you.
Soon the air bot is off and zooming to RUM sector.
Boris
Spoiler:
By the time you get there you only have about an hour left on the mission clock
The journey passes quickly and surprisingly without incident. Once you arrive in RUM sector, you are led to another transbot and taken deep into the sector. Homer leads you into a service elevator. It is quite spacious and easily accommodates the entire team and the box with the bot. The elevator heads down, deep down. As it descends, the lights suddenly go out . You here Homer mutter,
"It always goes dark when the elevators in this sector go into the sub levels. Don't worry, we'll be down soon."
Well, let's see if my X-Ray Vision would help me see what everyone else is trying to do. Well, that, or I could just end up giving everyone in the cab cancer, but, hey, we probably won't live long enough for it to matter.
"I hear mutants glow in the dark. I can't see anything, so I guess we're all okay here. Haha!"

Spoiler:
How big is the Teela-O pocket mirror in relation to a laser barrel?
"Hey, who's touching me over there? This is hardly the time for a hygiene inspection, Bob. Haha!"
GM:
Spoiler:
After speaking, I'll quietly move to a corner/wall of the elevator, so if anyone decides to take a shot at me, I won't be in the position I was in when the lights went out. I'll also crouch down on the balls of my feet and keep my laser handy.
