Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show.

Episode 3: Larry-R’s Lament

Turn 112: Pay Attention!

Quentin-R points back and forth between the wool and the ruler as he says, “I’m awfully sorry, I just wanted to help you get some more wool, and perhaps a better ruler with one of them metal edges to it… I can see I’ve ruined your chat, I’ll let you get back to it…” He steps back with a slight bow, and fusses with his uniform.

Isaac-O, meanwhile, has noticed the pictures of Eula-R’s catbots and says, “WOW a Fluffy Wuffy Happy Wappy Tim Tum Rum Rugger Mark II™! That’s got to be one of only two in the whole sector! Where did you get it!” He then snatches up the PDC and starts flipping through the pictures while making oooing, gooing, and ahhhing sounds.

Eula-R beams and respond, “Oh yes, that’s Biggles. He’s my pride and joy. Got all the optional extra features. If you like, I might be able to get you one. I’ve got a friend at the factory, you see. I might even be able to get you one for, oh… say 1000 credits. But wasn’t Friend Computer just talking to you? We can talk about this after It’s done.” She tries to politely retrieve her PDC.

Dean-O, meanwhile, salutes Friend Computer and holds the salute.

Aken-R joins his team leader in saluting the screen.

Phil-R, using Mr. Sock, says, “No questions here oh great and all knowing Friend Computer!”

Roy-R doesn’t respond, and just looks attentively at Friend Computer.

Quentin-R pauses in his preening to pop another mint in his mouth and, facing the nearest camera with a cheesy smile, says, “Oral freshness is mandatory – and now ENJOYABLE too!” He taps the nearly empty roll while holding it up to the camera.

Friend Computer looks at each troubleshooter in turn then continues.

“Thank you for your attention citizens Dean-O-KTI, Aken-R-BSH, Phil-R-XYZ, and Roy-R-HBL. Citizens Isaac-O-MEL and Quentin-R-PAD, you are each fined 100 credits for not paying attention when I’m talking to you. You will also each be placed on Probation. I expect your undivided attention when I speak to you. Now, while I have your attention: Citizen Dean-O-KTI, please give me a report on your mission progress.”

We shall return to the PBEM Network’s presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages…
