One In Particular
I think he must have realized I didn't want to see him after that as we didn't see each other for a few days, well that isn't strictly true. We saw each other in passing and during lunch but we never once spoke in those few days. I found it so lonely during those few days. The rest of the crew barley spoke to me as usual. I felt like I was the only one onboard Starbug, I have felt that feeling of being alone when I am surrounded by others many times in my life so it was nothing new but this time it felt different it had felt like I had lost something.
It wasn't that long before we had started to talk again. After five days of silence - on my part anyway - Kryten found some weird readings coming from a planetoid.
It had taken us roughly an hour but we settled down onto the planet surface with the Cat's usual smooth landing.
We all made our way from Starbug to the surface together with Kryten trying to warn us all about the possible dangers and only Miss Kochanski actually listening to him.
As soon as I stepped onto the desolate land I had known something was amiss, I had a deep sense of foreboding, I knew something was going to go wrong. Dave on the other hand had looked ecstatic,
He was glad to finally get off, of Starbug for a while.
We had wandered for about twenty minutes before coming across some kind of alter - Kryten had tried to translate some of the text written on it but to no avail, all he had seemed to translate was the word 'Memories'.
At this point my paranoia had gotten the better of me and I decided I wanted to head back.
Surprisingly the Cat and Miss Kochanski agreed with me, they stated there was nothing here of importance and we should head back.
Dave being Dave protested.
"But we don't even know what this thing does yet!"
"Who cares Listy, it's a smegging rock"
"I care; I want to know what it is!"
"You know I hate to agree with ol' goalpost head but he's right bud"
"It does look as if we are out numbered Sir; maybe we should head back"
"But.... What about that?"
"What?" All of us thought this question but only Miss Kochanski thought to ask.
"That square thingy on top"
"You mean this?" And I grabbed hold of the weird sand coloured cube that was placed on top of the small altar.
"It's a smegging..." I had suddenly felt dizzy. I felt someone grab hold of me from behind and everything went white.
Now before you all complain about this chapter of lack of chapter... I promise the next part will be longer! Unless I decide to split it into two parts... I have about eight written pages I now need to type up... ok Jules bring on the coffee... this may take a while... scratch that, I don't like coffee... bring the on the water - Bad idea will need to pee... just bring me anything, what? You quit? Fine!... new help needed! Will pay nothing per hour, opportunity of a lifetime.... Damn what am I on about!? Who slipped me something? Jules?
