RhL: Thanks, Cobie.
{Turns to Hyvvie.} Well, Hyvvie, let's try out that Nose of Wonder of yours again!

Time Teller Lad: Where are we going?

RhL: Actually, Tim, could you please stay here in case Cobie or Lardy show up. We need to find Everyday Girl! Hyvvie can you find her?

{The Wonder Beagle sniffs the ground, nods and they're off!}

Wow.

Quiet in here with everybody gone. Maybe, just for old times' sake I could sneak myself a glass of ice cold.....

<span style="font-size: 10px;">(No.)</span>

No.

[rematerializes from the bunker , looks around]

[thinks]

My optical sensors cannot locate him, but...

[sees Time Teller Lad]

...that is one of his associates!

[approaches Time Teller Lad]

<click>Pardon this unit, Time Teller Lad, but is your friend Rockhopper Lad currently located in this establishment? This unit wishes to speak with him...in private.<click>

<click>Listen, Time Teller Lad...I--this unit can't prove it to you, but this unit is the genuine Lard Lad Robot all the sentients seek! Wil you help me-- er, this unit?<click>

[tentatively, Time Teller Lad nods]

<click>This unit is most appreciative! This establishment is perhaps too public a place, however. Please, tell Mr. Rockhopper Lad that I will stop by his Rookery tomorrow night if he can be there. I--this unit--will discuss the matter with him there if that is agreeable.<click>

[disappears]

<At Cobalt's table, the body of Hrun remains, bent over as if he'd been drinking all night>

---A sign is on the table. It reads: RESERVED - EVERYDAY GIRL---

A hologram of Cobalt Kid: "Its here Brittney that we must meet. Legion World in general has too many ears. Only here, in SHAKES, under Semi's protection and the Empress's dying charm spells, will we have privacy. You can wait for me here."

Ohmygod, you know Mr Cobalt, I'm gonna need some help to do what you want done...

So isn't it about time you upgraded Jailbait Lass from GenCar to Alt?

Then I'd have both my partners backing me up...

And Gramps would have less objections to point out.

Not that he's gonna like our plan anyway...

How about a drink, noble patrons? Cobie, my memory banks have failed and I don't recall what it is you drink. Everyday Girl, you're too young for hard liquor. But scotch is pretty simple. How about a Lagavulin on the rocks, water on the side?

Ohmygod, Miss Babette, Mr Vee used to make me chocolate egg creams, they're so good.

Do you know how to make them?

If the answer is "Yes", I'd like one as well.

Mr. Vee, could be quite naughty, so I'm told. No chocolate egg cremes for any of you. My decency protocol forbids it.

Those must be some pretty odd egg cremes then.

Does your decency protocol allow you to get me a Diet Dr. Pepper?

Brit, you know she prefers to stay out of the limelight. Just know that the two of us have an agreement and a plan--she'll become an alt when the time is right...(insert foreshadowing music)...which shouldn't be too far away...

But know that I'll be backing you up on this one. I'd never be able to face Abin again if I sent you into danger and wasn't there to take it on with you. Like you say though, not like he likes our plan anyway


Babette, you little robotic minx, no problems at all. Much like other tastes of mine, I have no one drink but enjoy multitudes. And as I know I'm off to battle soon, I might as well start knocking back bourbon and sodas. Make it the good stuff too, just in case something terrible should happen, I'd at least have the taste of expensive bourbon on my lips...

[Cobalt is long gone as a new arrival enters, having just left a certain cottage ]

[robotic eyes search the bar area and settle on a supple form they find...appealing]

[approaches the bar]

<click> Greetings, Miss Babette...I am the Lardlad Robot! I was wondering if I could speak to you of a matter of some importance! <click>

Are you hitting on me?

[blushes, or his circuits provide an approximation of blushing, at least]

<click> Er...no, Miss Babette, I am not. My programming is...insufficient for providing such action. <click>

<click> I speak to you as a fellow robot about an issue which may concern you. You are a robot, correct? My apologies if my fact files are incorrect! <click>

Inside Backroom at SHAKES:

<A gathering continues. Low-ranking security officers sit all around, but say nothing. Hrun the Barbarian's body is laid on a make-shift bed>

(Even now, she barely understands that this is her father. Hrun...I always suspected, after Infinite Crisis, but now I know for sure. I wonder if even you know for sure. I promise to tell you. I, too, know what its like to have a daughter that scarcely realizes she's related to you. If Umber never sees it...perhaps Brittney will for you)

<turns back, seeing My Wheem Fem and Everyday Girl discussing strategy>

Girls, listen. I know you wanted Jailbait Lass to back you up, and that would be pretty cool, I admit <grins>, but while Lolita has proven herself time and time again, she's not a field agent. She's doing something for me as we speak. Don't worry, she'll arrive eventually in all this madness.

No, it needs to be me with you. Slim is out for my blood and I can't let you rush off without me. But despite what your grandpa thinks, Brit, it must be you that leads this charge. You have a way of getting these things done. I'll say no more about it than that.

<security officers eye Cobalt as if he's speaking another langauge>

So, shall we prepare for our assault on Slim's?

<turns to My Whee Fem>

You know, once you start going on field missions you get a pretty hefty pay raise?

Haven't been here in a while

*downs some silverale*

Tasty!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Did I just hear the words "Hefty Pay Raise?"

Now I know why I've always liked you Mr Cobalt.

Oh and look Invisible Brainiac just showed up...

Can this day GET any better?!?

Ohmygod! like CHILL M. Frost Out...

Brit! Please can the BVG act, OK? Please?

I swear I'm gonna puke if you keep spouting the "Like Ohmygod I'm such a dip" Crap...

You don't talk like that when we're not around the older guys.

Oh, you don't do you?

(Proven right again...I knew they're wrong about you Brit).

So, perhaps Invisible Brainiac will be able to stick around and help us take down Slim's Bar.

How should we go about this Everyday Girl?

Okay, I've given this a lot of thought and it kinda depends on some things we don't know...

How does he freeze people into those time cube thingies? Is it his power or does he have some weapon or device inside his bar that does it?

How many targets can he handle at once? I mean everyone he's caught went in alone... Maybe we can overwhelm him with numbers... Send in a redshirt squad first, god I never thought I'd even suggest something like that...

Brit! Are you really ready to use GenCar Officers like that? Most of those guys are our FRIENDS!
