Part 11-One Last Fish In The Barrel

Back at the Tavlek ship 1812 and Blue have now entered the darkened compartment where Jool is being held...

"Now to find the release button for this cell."

**Didn't you notice how that Tavlek opened it last time we were here?**

"No, did you?"

**No**

"Then let's look for it."

1812 and Blue scan the room...

**I don't see one**

"Neither do I."

**Wait, I see a panel**

Blue goes up the wall and hits something on the panel..

-Click-

The lights in the compartment go on...

"Well you found the light switch."

The lights alert the gagged and restrained occupant of the cell...

[Jool] "hofs tre!"

**hey, maybe Jool knows how to open the cell**

"How do you plan on asking her? She won't understand us."

Blue comes down from the wall...

**Hey it was just a suggestion**

Jool notices the DRDs...

[Jool] -Muffled Blabber-

**Did you get any of that?**

"Something about 'where's D'Argo and the others', and 'get me the frell out of here' as for the rest, not a clue."

1812 and Blue stare at the cell as Jool continues to blabber at them...

"So you wanted to ask her where the release button is."

**I think even if she could understand us, we wouldn't understand her**

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile back at the transport pod...

[B-MW] "This is your great plan for getting rid of the Tavlek, a shiny piece of sheet metal?"

[V-W] "Yeah, where going to use this sheet metal as a mirror to fool the Tavlek into shooting himself!"

[B-MW] "Just how are we going to do that? I mean Tavleks aren't that stupid."

[V-W] "Well you know how if you're standing at an angle looking at a mirror, you can't see your reflection, but you can see what's on the same angle on the other side of the mirror."

[B-MW] "Is this what you do with your spare time?"

[V-W] "No. Now do you know what I'm talking about or not?"

[B-MW] "Yeah, go on."

[V-W] "Here's what I'm thinking. You go and stand behind that box over there so that you're out of sight. Then I'll set up the mirror in the shadows and at the right angle where you can't see yourself, but you can see where the pod is."

[B-MW] "Then what?"

[V-W] "Then I'll go and make the Tavlek mad then run back and go behind the mirror. That way he'll think your reflection is me and fire his gauntlet. And when he does that I'll turn the mirror so that it is facing him strait on and blast will bounce off the mirror and hit him."

[B-MW] "You know if that doesn't work we're screwed."

[V-W] "Probably, but at least we tried."

[B-MW] "I think it'll be a better idea if we call the others."

[V-W] "They have their own problems to deal with, this one's ours. So let's just get it done."

[B-MW] "Fine, but if I get shot, you're going to wish you were never dragged out of the bat dren."

[V-W] "And if you bring up that incident again, you'll be the one in bat dren."

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the Tavlek ship, 1812 and Blue are still searching for the cell's release control...

"Anything?"

**Nope, it would be easier if there wasn't so much junk in here** -Bump- **Oops** -Creak- ** Oh Frell**

Storage containers and other items start falling over...

-Crash- -Bang-

[Jool] -Muffled Scream-

"What the frell was that!?!"

-Crack- -Bang-

**Watch out!**

Some of the items hit the side of the cell and one barely missed 1812...

"Blue you yotz!"

-Crash-

[Jool] -Muffled Scream-

-Clank- -Snap-

The last of the items fall...

-Clink-

"Were you trying to get us killed!"

**Sorry, it was an accident!**

"Well don't hit anything else, we still need to...well frell me."

**What?**

"The cell's open!"

**Huh?**

"Something you knocked over must've broke the lock on the cell door."

**It did?**

"Yeah, look."

**It did! Cool**

"Now let's get Jool outta here."

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile back near the transport pod, B-MW and V-W are ready to set their plan into motion...

[V-W] "Ready?"

[B-MW] "If I said no would it matter?"

[V-W] "No."

[B-VW] "Then go ahead."

[V-W] "Alright then. Now don't forget to tell me when you see the Tavlek fire so I can turn the mirror."

[B-MW] "Alright."

[V-W] "Well here goes nothing."

V-W heads over to where the Tavlek is waiting...

[Kort] -Sigh- "Where are those guys. The kid was supposed to take over for me arns ago."

[V-W] -CHIRP, Chirp!- "Hey you!"

[Kort] "What the frell? A DRD?"

[V-W] -Chirp, Chip, Chip!- "Come an' get me!"

The Tavlek raises his gauntlet and scans the area...

[Kort] "Where's your ship's crew hiding?"

He continues to look around...

[V-W] -CHRIP, CHIRP!- "Come On!"

V-W spins in a circle...

[V-W] -Chirp! Chirp, Chirp!- "Fine! Take This!"

V-W shoots at the Tavlek...

-Zap-

[Kort] "Hey!"

-Zap-

V-W Spins in a circle again and heads off toward where the mirror is placed...

[Kort] "Frellin'... Where's it goin'?... I bet they're trying to get me away from the pod. Well I'll just have to play along then."

With that the Tavlek heads off cautiously after V-W...

[Kort] "Where'd that frelling DRD go?"

The Tavlek enters the DRDs' "trap"...

[B-MW] "He's here, get ready."

[V-W] "Right."

The Tavlek looks around...

[B-MW] "I don't think he sees you, I mean me, the mirror, whatever. Just do something."

[V-W] "K." -CHRIP CHIRP!- "Over Here!"

The Tavlek turns to look at the reflection on the sheet metal...

[Kort] "Ah, there you are."

He lifts his gauntlet and then looks around again...

[Kort] "Crew of Moya, this simple ruse will not fool me! Give up now and you will not be harmed!... Much."

[V-W] "Come on you idiot, soot at the mirror will ya."

[B-MW] "He isn't doing anything."

[V-W] "I know!"

The Tavlek turns away from the mirror...

[B-MW] "Quick shoot him!"

[V-W] "What?"

[B-MW] "He looking the other way, shoot him to get his attention."

[V-W] "Oh!"

V-W peeks out around the side of the mirror and shoots at the Tavlek...

-Zap-

Then hides back behind it...

[Kort] "Ow! Frelling! That's It!"

[V-W] -CHIRP, CHIRP!- "Come on!"

He points his gauntlet back at B-MW's reflection...

[Kort] "I've had it with you!"

-Vumpt-

[B-MW] "Turn it now!"

[V-W] "Ahhhhh!"

V-W turns the mirror, the blast hits it, bounces back and hits the Tavlek...

[Kort] "OOOF!"

Knocking him to the ground...

[B-MW] "Ha ha! It worked!"

B-MW heads over to V-W...

[V-W] "It did! And you thought we couldn't do it ourselves!"

[B-MW] "You proved me wrong... Now let's go contact Moya!"

The two DRDs head for the pod, but stop short...

[Kort] "Uhhhhh...frell."

[B-MW] "Uh oh."

[V-W] "Dren."

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, 1812 and Blue have freed Jool from her restraints...

[Jool] "Those beasts where right, Moya is here. Where's the others? Did they get them? Is that why there not here? Did Pilot you to save me? Why frell am I asking you for? It's not like you can tell me anything? Or that I'll understand what you say. I'm not even sure DRDs can know how to make comprehensive sentences."

Jool continues to talk...

"Does she always talk this much?"

**Yeah, and sheds even more**

"Sheds?"

**Yeah, you'll see eventually**

[Jool] "Ok, Crichton talked to DRDs all the time, now how'd he get them to respond...Wait! It was something like two blink for No and one blink for yes, or was it one blink for no and two for yes?"

"What's she talking about?"

**Long story, I'll tell ya it later.**

[Jool] "Frell, I'll just pick one. Now if you can understand me, I am going to ask you some questions. If the answer is yes then blink once, if the answer is no blink twice. Got it?"

**-Blink-**

[Jool] "Good!"

**See it's simple**

"I get the idea."

[Jool] "Ok, is Moya here?"

**-Blink- -Blink-**

[Jool] "No. How about D'Argo, Crichton and Chiana?"

**-Blink-**

[Jool] "Did they send you here?"

**-Blink- -Blink-**

[Jool] "They didn't? Have they been captured by the bounty hunters?"

**-Blink- -Blink-**

[Jool] "Do they know they're after them?"

**-Blink- -Blink-**

"This is taking forever. We need to get out of here."

**I know, but you can wait a microt. Some organic life forms are slower then others you know**

[Jool] "Do you know where they are? Can you take me to them?"

**-Blink-**

[Jool] "Let's hurry then! We have to warn them!"

"Finally!"

1812, Blue, and Jool leave the Tavlek ship...

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile...

[B-MW] "I think we should run now."

[V-W] "That might be a good idea."

The two DRDs back up as the Tavlek starts to get up...

[Sparks] "Eat this!"

-ZAP- -ZAP- -ZAP- -ZAP-

[B-MW] "Hey, it's the others!"

Sparks, Blitz, Cam, Fixer, and Kip arrive in the nick of time and fire at the Tavlek...

-Zap- -Zap- -Zap- -Zap-

[Kort] "Ahhh!"

He tries to get up...

-Zap- -Zap- -Zap-

[Kort] "Ugh."

But falls back down and stays that way...

[Kip] "Is he dead?"

[Fixer] "Why don't you go check?"

[Kip] "Me? How bout you?"

[Blitz] "I'll check."

Blitz goes over to the Tavlek and rams him...

[Blitz] "Looks dead to me."

[Sparks] "And that my friends is how you properly take down a Tavlek."

[V-W] "It's a good thing you arrived when you did, we thought we were frelled for sure!"

[Fixer] "You would've been if I didn't remind these yotzes that there were three Tavleks an' not just two."

[Sparks] "Yeah, yeah, they owe their lives to your incredible power of observation."

[Fixer] "You bet they do."

[Cam] "Oh give it a rest! We have a job to finish."

[V-W] "Right we still have to contact Moya."

[Sparks] "Well then, what're we standing aroun' for, let's go!"

Sparks zooms off toward the transport pod...

[B-MW] "Someone's a bit hyper."

[Blitz] "He's just happy he got to shoot something."

[B-MW] "Ah."

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back on Moya...

~Pilot, I'm receiving a message~

[Pilot] "From who?"

~The DRDs we sent along with the crew~

[Pilot] "Has something happened?"

~They say that there were wanted beacons and bounty hunters on the planet~

[Pilot] "We shouldn't have left...Is the crew all right?"

~Yes, the DRDs say they have gotten rid of the bounty hunters~

[Pilot] "They did? How?"

~The message doesn't say. But they're asked that we return as soon as possible in case any more decide to show up~

[Pilot] "Tell them we're on our way."

~Yes Pilot, sending message now~
