| Would you look at this crowd! Wow! |
| Real glad you could all make it to this little shindig-- |
| Classified military briefing. |
That's right, don't go telling your grandxa about this one! Khahahahaa!!!
Really, though, out of all the research stations we got in this empire, I think this here's my favorite-- and not just for those lakeside views!!
You've been doing some great work round here, haven't you? |
Now I won't lie to you-- when Ribbsy came round to my office and dropped that report on my desk, she didn't seem much too pleased with what you'd all been up to here. I mean, yeesh, that ship you lost? Not a great look!
But hey, that's just Ribbsy, isn't it? Always gotta poop the party! |
Hehehaha, I know that look in those eyes! You're thinkin' how easy it'd be to kill me, aren't'cha?
Just grab me with that big ol' fist and squorch, BLUUUUGH, guts out my mouth!!! Khyahahahahaaaa!!! |
But really, folks, when I got reading that report -- and I do read the reports -- I was real impressed! You've been busy round here!
That business with the ray particle fields from plasmology? Fun stuff!
6% efficiency gains from aeronautics? Every bit counts!
And how could I forget wassername from xenobio I gave that medal to? |
But what really caught my eye -- and I'm not just playing favorites here! -- but what got me perked was what all you in physics have been up to.
There's some crazy stuff there! Could barely wrap my head around it, khahahahaha!!! |
Turns out, we've found something on the other side of reality. Not just any old knicknack. I mean something big.
We've found redemption. |
| Why don't I let our Head of Science explain what THIS is! |
It's the discovery of the era!
WE'VE FOUND ANOTHER EARTH! |
| By Helix! That can't be possible!! |
That's right, kiddos!
Biggest screwup our empire's ever pulled, and we get a do-over!! |
| Now I'm sure you're all as excited as I am about this one, but-- |
| You are not about to announce another invasion -- let alone a repeat of the most ill-advised campaign we've ever waged -- WITHOUT CONSULTING ME! |
You worry too much, Ribbsy!
We know what went wrong last time! We just won't make those mistakes again! |
You have no idea what you're talking about!!
Call this insane proposition off, NOW!!! |
Awww, Ribbs.
I don't think you get to make that call. |
Unless you're telling me you're gonna do something if I don't.
Is that what you're saying, old girl? |
Mm.
That's what we love about Ribrax, eh folks? |
| Sure, she's a bit of a grouser... |
| But she's always a team player in the end!! Chahahahahahaaaa!!! |
