Outside the MR a low rumble slowly grew louder. The rumbling got louder and louder. The MR foundation started to shake until the rumbling grew loud enough that you could tell that whatever it was ... was right outside the door.
As the rumbling died and the sound of a powerful engine was shut off, two voices could be heard outside the MR doors. Voice 1 : I can't believe you traded for this tank! Voice 2: It's a beautiful tank! Voice 1: It's awful! It leaks fuel all over the damn place!....It's a piece of junk!!! Voice 2: Always with the negative waves, Moriarty! The MR doors swung open and a couple well dieseled chucks strolled through the door. Jester: They have arrived.... CS: Oddball! Moriarty! Welcome! Kirk: Great....more furballs. Phil: About time you mugs showed up! Where's crapgame? Oddball: He's reloading the paint shells for the tank....he'll be in shortly. Say...didn't you tell me you needed a new decor for this place??

Glancing up from 2 continuous weeks of playing the piano, seeing the three girls walk in, I think it's time for a refill

Has anyone seen our piano player? It's awfully quiet in here.
The Starchuck's was almost ready for its grand opening. The "herbal" tea was scheduled to arrive at midnight. Security was tight; maybe that's why the tank was purchased. The security system WAS designed and installed by OCGM Electronics and monitored from a remote site by hardened communication lines. Even the water supply was separate from the local mains. Nothing was left to chance. |

Midnight on a moonless night. It couldn't possibly get any darker. The power to the street lamps had been cut. Two Opel Blitz trucks show up, each painted jet black with no markings or number tags. Muffled engines and idle speed ensured that there was very little sound. Shadowy forms emerge from the back of the trucks; everyone was dressed in black and wearing gumsole shoes. Most of them set up a secure perimeter around Starchuck's. A specialty team came out and swept for bugs, mines and IEDs. Another team checked the electrical and other utilities -- no sabotage from G/K Worldwide. A secure radio transmission went out.
A second convoy, heavily escorted, came down the road. The third and fourth vehicles carried the "herbal" tea. They were also blast-proofed and well armoured. Backing up to the loading dock, they quickly and efficiently unloaded the precious cargo and stowed it in the sub-basement bunker. Alarms were set in preparation for the grand opening. Guards were posted. Then, the convoys both departed, again, quietly and under extreme blackout restrictions. G/K Worldwide will be furious that they've missed all the fun. |

The rummy is noticed by the guard detail. The Sergeant of the Guard walks up and says, "Say, rummy."
"<snort> Yeah?" "How'd you like a free bottle of Mad Chuck 20/20?" "Whadda I godda do to get it?" "Keep an eye out for Kirk or anything from G/K Worldwide." |
