Fort Polaris, deep under Praetonia
"Ah, so they have a companion! The game's afoot... notifiy our spy satellites! Tell them, on our signal, to shoot it! Shoot it! Shoot it!"
"Sir, we don't have any spy satellites. This is just a radar base... and spy satellites dont have missiles anyway..."
"Silence! Allow me to plan in peace. Soon we will destroy..."
"...Sir they've landed."
"Then we have but one course left... fire the nukes! Shoot it! Fire the..."
"That's better, sir. These drugs make everything happy again, sir."
"Happy... happy... happy... I am happy"
"Sir stop dancing - you'll damage the equipment."
Polaris Airforce Base
A large number of marines surrounded the outlandish new arrival. They did not expect it to be hostile, but when national security was at stake, it was much better to be safe than sorry.
"Foreign vessel. You are surrounded only as a security precaution. We will not fire unless provoked."

A large steel door opens in the side of the vessel, opening into the cargo hold.
"So, what' the going rate, here?"

The marines looked at each other, the Commander did what he called the 'Carrot Dance', his aide looked embarrassed and a proper representative sped up from Praeton.
"Seven shillings and six pence!"
Shouted out of the marines.
"As I'm so happy, Im ordering you all to run wildly around!"
Shouted the Commander over the intercom system. What followed was sheer madness...

The captain looked surprisingly at the Marines. And he thought his own people where weird..
