Ben Goldstein [from QEC]: We thank you for your continued support of
|
||
the Galactic News Agency. Remember, starting with tomorrow’s
|
||
broadcast, your old QECs will no longer receive GNA broadcasts due
|
||
to the DQEC Transition. Stop by your local Galactic Tech Emporium to
|
||
buy one today. Keep in mind the free DQEC offer has already ended.

[“Our Shining Federation” plays]

|
||
[Jaan Sechs leaves his lab and goes up to Ranway who is piloting the
|
||
space cruiser. “Our Shining Federation” is blasting from Jaan’s QEC
|
||
in his lab.]
|
||
|
||
Reble Ranway: What?
|
||
|
||
Jaan Sechs: You know about the thing?
|
||
|
||
Reble Ranway: What thing?
|
||
|
||
Jaan Sechs: They awarded Tomasino citizenship and residency for the QEC.
|
||
|
||
Reble Ranway: I wonder what the news guys will have to say about it.
|
||
Probably won’t be good. Do you th…
|
||
|
||
[A 1 KHz tone is heard as a deafening volume]
|
||
|
||
Jaan Sechs [shouting]: I’ll go turn it off-
|
||
|
||
[Sound fizzles out]
|
||
|
||
Reble Ranway: I hope you enjoy your QEC without sound…
|
||
|
||
Jaan Sechs: Oh damn
|
||
|
||
[Exit Jaan Sechs]
|
||
|
||
Reble Ranway [shouting to Jaan]: See if A&L Finances responded to my
|
||
message yet!
|
||
|
||
Jaan Sechs [still shouting]: No can do!
|
||
|
||
Reble Ranway [turning around to face Jaan Sechs, still yelling]: WHY?
|
||
|
||
Jaan Sechs [even louder]: I CAN’T LOG IN! NOOOOO!!! INTERNET!!!!!
|
||
|
||
Reble Ranway: We’ll have free wifi soon.
|
||
|
||
Jaan Sechs: How?
|
||
|
||
Reble Ranway: Going to meet an old friend.
|
||
|
||
Jaan Sechs: Ohhhh. I’m going back to the lab.
|
||
|
||
Reble Ranway [shouting]: DAMN IT JAAN! YOU LEFT THE FUEL SIPHONS
|
||
OPENED AND SPILLED HALF THE EMERGENCY FUEL!
|
||
|
||
Jaan Sechs: There’s more in the unused pitcher I stuck in the fridge.
|
||
|
||
Reble Ranway [looking at glass]: the WHAT??
|
||
|
||
Jaan Sechs: The emergency fuel isn’t poisonous! It’s basically just
|
||
the old cooking oil with some other things. I make it in the lab
|
||
every so often. Besides, it’s not like I’ll have anything to do since
|
||
we won’t get GNA anymore…
|
||
|
||
Reble Ranway [now looking at QEC]: The federation doesn’t broadcast
|
||
over QEC anymore?
|
||
|
||
***loud “tap tap tap”***
|
||
|
||
Jaan Sechs: Stop uploading our conversations! They’ll know where we
|
||
are at!
|
||
|
||
Reble Ranway: Who’s going to pay any attention to this anyways?
|
||
|
||
Jaan Sechs: You’re right.
|
||
|
||
Reble Ranway: Of course!
|
||
|
||
Jaan Sechs: Who is James Tomasino anyways and why did he get credit
|
||
for the QEC? I thought it was invented by Juan Yin or Yin Juan, or
|
||
someone on a different ship…
|
||
|
||
Reble Ranway: We don’t know he is, let along who made the QEC. A lot
|
||
of people claim they made it. Now others are unknowingly getting
|
||
credited for propaganda purposes!
|
||
|
||
Jaan Sechs: Well then, back to the lab. I’m just gonna turn this of-
