Ummm...... were you by chance watching Star Wars while writing this?

Heh. Didn't think anyone would catch the "94" bit. No, this is my answer

The only reason I caught the "94" bit was the fact that you mentioned the 
"wretched hive of scum and villainy" and it got me thinking.

As for the 'fic itself, I especially like the way you dealt with the 'yaki 
monster. I was ROFTL for that. Keep up the good work.
