Mars city

"Sir, we got a ship coming down, it has no insignia". My receptionist is really daft sometimes, she can't even remember that we don't use insignias, but she makes me come up every time and look at it, at 63 years, I'm getting to old for this job. "Listen ok Mary, no ships have any insignias, we already know it is ours, so just shut up already and let him in, besides, I'm too busy watching the grey cup to get up and look at it."

"Yes sir"

The ship landed with a loud clank, and Phil came walking out, that's when the intercom came on. "Would Phil please report to the front desk for probing…….uhhhhh I mean for clearance….heheheh…..ummmmm…..out." Then the intercom snapped off, Phil made his way to the clearance pathway.

There was a guard there, behind bullet proof glass, who was fiddling away with the keyboard. "Alright marine, just stand there while this thingy takes a scan of your body."

"Will it hurt?"

"Ummm, not at all marine"

"Alright, why is there bullet proof glass?"

"Well, we have some trigger hap-"

A large zapping sound, then I screamed, I then took a couple of shots at the glass.

"Well, I was partially right, step on through to the reception area just ahead."

I walked out to the reception area, where I then saw some plastic plants in a brown, wooden pot, sitting on a marble desk with a apple computer yuck apple. Sitting behind the desk was a female secretary, who looked just like Jay Leno from the "Jay Leno Show", and not that bright either.

"O you must be the hair products salesman!"

"Uhhhh, nooooooo…."

"Don't lye; I know your hiding an anti-dandruff shampoo in there!"

Apparently, she's been behind the desk a little too often, so I decided to play along.

"Yes, and there is some skin products in here too, but you can only have them if you take me to your boss."

"O yes yes yes, he is in his office just walk in, and he should be working on some reports or something."

"Ok, thank you."

So I walked a little to the left of the desk, up a crimson hallway with Leonardo paintings on them. Then I found his office, kind of hard to miss with the word "BOSS" in big bold letters. So I walked in, and heard music but thought nothing of it, thinking he likes to listen to music while working.

I walked in, and saw a fairly old man, with a grey crew cut, well built, steel eyes, oh and one more thing, completely naked yelling "GO ESKIMOS!!!!!!" He then turned around, screamed, and hid behind his desk. He then reached up with his right arm and hit a button on his black intercom phone.

"Mary! I said no visitors during happy time!"

"Sorry boss, but he said he had skin care products, it was so tempting…"

He then turned a nice shade of red and smashed his phone on the floor. He then walked around and put on a yellow jumpsuit, with various medals on it, and proceeded to turn off the old fashioned TV. He then turned towards me.

"You must be the marine that arrived this morning."

"Yes sir, permission to speak freely sir?"

"By all means"

"Do you usually dance naked to the Macarena while watching the grey cup?"

He then shyed away and turned red.

"It was an exercise that the doctor said was good for my heart."

"I'm sure he did."

"It's a she"

"O then that explains everything"

"Alright marine, you're here, because we have been losing men in this sector"

He pulled down a pretty detailed map of Mars city, with a little poorly drawn smiley face in the corner, with the words beneath it saying "made by the boss", I decided to keep quiet about that one. He pointed over to grid kilo 45.

"We have lately been losing men over in this sector, but we recently got a message from a scientist called Gotte Miilc, who said they were experiencing a giant problem. We want you to go check it out"

"I'm pretty sure they're coffee machine is out of order, that's probably what they would declare a giant emergency"

"No, that is just a mega emergency, now get to it marine, Sgt. Harmen will fit you up in that sector, any questions?"

"Just one sir, where's the bathroom, It was a really long trip from earth to here"

"Follow the hallway, first door on the left, can't miss it"

"Thanks sir"

I ran out the door like I was on fire.
