recently
on IRC...
(beware the lunatics!)
Idea:
Zach
suffers from a particularly evil malfunction in the early days of
his bionics: he reacts to the Tri-D remote control, and his son
is a passionate "zapper"...
"No,
no, commander. SIR. Please. It's just my son watching channel
6..."
"Dare
I ask what will happen if he changes to the Playboy channel,
Captain?"
<embarrassed
studying of boots> "Better don't."
"Son,
would you *please* stop channel surfing? At least while we have
company? I've already offended 3 officers by inadvertantly
making an obscene gesture when you press the channel button. And
I dislike walking into the fridge on a continuous basis as well."
"Dad,
where are all the batteries?"
"Confiscated
until Q-Ball fixes this glitch."
"How
am I supposed to watch Tri-D without a remote?"
"GV
can change the channels for you."
GV:
"Little Zach, please, not so fast! I'm getting quite
dizzy!"
Z:
"And now to the two of us, QBall..." <impressive
growl worth the Goose>
Q:
"Captain, I am doing my best! But you must realize, that
with over 2 billion fine bio-mechanical nerve connections in your
arm alone, tracking the problem to the specfic faulty ones will
take *time*!"
Z:
<leaning in closer> "Fix. It. NOW."
Q:
"Ah, Fredrick? Hold all my calls until further notice.
I've got a few billion circuits to test before I find myself
dropped off of the charging platform..."
