FADE IN. INT. 'S ROOM. CAPTAIN HOBBES is sitting behind his desk. The door opens and ALEK, DERYN, and enter. CAPTAIN HOBBES stands upon their entrance.
Good evening Captain Hobbes.
CAPTAIN HOBBES
Good evening Dr. Barlow. Good to see you again Sharp
You as well, Prince Aleksandar.
ALEK
Sir, I am no longer a prince, you might recall. Please call
me Mr. Hohenburg.
CAPTAIN HOBBES.
Ah, of course. (Hobbes walks around his desk so he is standing
in front of the three people.) I have called you here to discuss
your mission aboard the Leviathan. I trust Dr. Barlow has given
you the minor details.(Alek Deryn nod) You will be going to
transport a fabricated weapon to our allies in Italy. We will be
dropping you and leaving you there, as it will take quite some
time for you to deliver the weapon.
DERYN
If I may ask, what is this beastie that we will be transporting?
Seeing as we will be carrying out this mission without the help
of Dr. Barlow, I think we have the right to know.
CAPTAIN HOBBES
Indeed you do Mr. Sharp. (He looks at Dr. Barlow who is smiling devilishly)
DR. BARLOW
A dragon, Mr. Sharp.
FADE OUT.
