"I'll answer in one second, Miss Skye, but first, may I ask why that drone Domai is over there taking photos of the hab-bay with that cheap Japanese mass-produced camera?" responded Sheng-ji Yang, scratching his head sadly.

"Don't worry about the cheap Japanese camera, it was all we could get for him at this hour, you know, people hussling around, space ships exploding, you know the drill", Deirdre responded with the logical tone one would expect from a science officer and a xenobiologist.

"Oh, hello, Miriam," quipped her guardian angel, sitting calmly near an escape pod that was swiftly loading, "I was wondering where you'd gone off to, silly dear."

"Good for you luv", the guardian angel started, "but Miriam, you do know that Holy Water is unholy if it has been consumed once already", she continued, looking at the line starting from the other side of the bay and being cut as armed guards checked the people into the pod.

"Well, gag me with a spoon if it ain't good old Sister M...hey, you remember me, it's old Pigtree Olliphant-Jones, remember, from Harvard Divinity School," cried out a short, chubby little guy in a class suit, with a straw hat, a blue polka-dot tie, and a little grubby mustache, who was presently pushing through the crowds towards Sister Miriam, who was sneaking some of the wine she was bringing, as well as chatting amiably with her guardian angel, who was slowly moving into the escape pod, coaxing Miriam to follow to safety.

"What the hell was that?" Miriam shouted through the sudden noise of the metal structures of the ship moaning and twisting, and was met by an angry look by her guardian angel and an amazed one by the tubby little man called Pigtree.

It was then that a vibration in the ship tossed the whole lot, Miriam, the angel, and Pigtree Olliphant-Jones, into a nearby escape pod.

Meanwhile, CEO Morgan was in another escape pod, finishing off his dinner by picking his teeth with a gold toothpick, as he watched some can-can girls dance about on the make-shift stage.

Whereas any other human being would have looked upon the Provost's 'vodka experimentations' as unethical, poor litle Federov, the ugly midget hunchback lackey to Zakharov, was tugging at Prokhor's pant's leg and shouting up at him, "Man, you are such a genius!!!"

"Well geeeze boss, gag me with a little wooden spoon, but I thought I was being helpful," whined Federov, taking a large (and very old) shoe out of a box marked 'RADIOACTIVE' that was stuffed conveniently under a table.
