In A Galactic Farce...Far, Far Away...
The WARP FACTOR
(In space, no one can hear you.)
By David and Shannon
Scene opens: Captain Pendragon is sitting at his desk, shuffling through a
pile of resumes.
Captain Pendragon: Lady, send in the next ap... (a dark haired woman seems to
appear before his desk out of nowhere)...plicant.
Captain Pendragon: (looks up, blinks once but otherwise seems unperturbed)
Yes, well, let's see. Mikah Morgan, is it?
Mikah: (with a somewhat insipid smile) Yes. That's Mikah with a "k".
Captain Pendragon: I see. And what do you do, Mikah?
Mikah: I sneak.
Captain Pendragon: Sneak.
Mikah: Yes. And I can become invisible too, which is very important to
sneaking. Wanna' see?
Captain Pendragon: O.K. (Captain Pendragon continues to look expectantly at
Mikah, who is still very visible and still smiling that insipid smile.)
Captain Pendragon: Can I take your word for it?
Mikah: Sure.
Captain Pendragon: Anything else?
Mikah: I look fabulous in black.
Captain Pendragon: A definite plus.
Mikah: Thank-you.
