-BOUFF-
The small yellow construction vessel moved forward slightly and drifted towards the large space dock
-BOUFF-
it moved once more inching closer to the silver circle hanging motionless over the planet Spooteh
-BOUFF-
a puff of blue smoke trailed out of the small engines, it slowly disapated causing a slight glittering effect
-BOUFF-
the station was now close enough to see a much larger vessel, about 5 times the size of the Yellow shuttle
-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUFFFFFFFFF-
The engines burnt bright as the shuttle sped the rest of the way there, it drifted slowly into the waiting docking arm, it grabbed the shuttle and opened to allow for the ships passengers to board, Mr Spoot got out first, ducking to allow for the hatch's small size, he was followed by his wife Jessica and his two sons, next came the portly shaped Mr Spiff who was part way through a Pork Pie, last was a skinny gaunt man who had a stern smile on his face, it seemed as though this was the first time he had smiled in his lifetime.

"Mr Schmeil, which way is it to the vessel?"

Mr Spoot looked over to the gaunt man, who recognised his name being called out and slowly wandered over to the rest of the group.

"Ze vessel is thees vay"

Schmeil walked past the group with his hands crossed behind his back and nose held high, Mr Spoot felt the whif of Arrogance but feld obliged to follow this gentleman.

The German took the group through a maze of corridors and finally to the observation room where three men had been waiting.

"Herr Spoot, Zis is Tokte Schmith, Tokte Braun und Tokte Vulfen, Zey are de mens to cerdit for zis project, zeee ordience is vaiting for your speech zo please take the stage."

Mr Spoot walked forward whilst loosening his throat and tightening his tie, he looked over at the large vessel and smiled, his attention was then drawn to his captive audience.

"Spootians, for far too long we have had the discomfort of being secluded from the outside universe, but this vessel, the SYD1 will take us to new planets and new allies, finally we will have the joy of knowing who we border and who we can trust, it will also broaden our minds and aid our joy in the darker depths of space, the SYD is stocked with 6 sightseeing cabins carrying 100 Spootians, as we speak the first Spootian Intergalactic Space Tourists are being loaded onto the ship, in five minutes the SYD will launch from dry-dock and we will have changed for the better!"

Of course due to the vacum of space Mr Spoot heard no applause, but if he had then he wouldn't have gone back to the microphone and said.

"Is this thing on?"

The count had begun and the VIP's returned to their seats awaiting the launch, several machines clinked and chattered as the vessel was slowly removed from it's umbilical cord, gasses escaped pushing the SYD forward slightly.

The last arm was retracted and the engines fired up, slowly the energy built up and....
-FWAAAAAAAARRRMMMMMMMMMMFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!-
The SYD was moving away from Spooteh and into the next galaxy.

**** **** ****

SYD arrived just past the third planet of this new galaxy, already it had began to broadcast transmissions of peace as the tourists were happily filming the outside worlds and starscapes, SYD kept moving slowly to keep the residents appeased with new worlds and sights to take home, several included the thumbs of over enthusiastic snappers.
