Captain Liamoira was celebrating with the crew in the galley of the Snallygaster.
"Well, I think we deserve this celebration! We captured the notorious criminal Jobrania! Drinks all round! Aldanian Whiskies?"
The Captain took the decanter, poured out a generous slug into four glasses and offered them to the crew.
"Just Water, please," replied Dregg.
"You know, I'm shure you'd feel better if you'd jusht relax a little, but if thash what you want..." she drained one glass and refilled it with water from the faucet. "There you go!" handing over the glass.
"Thanks, Captain," said the Ogre, sipping his water.
Liamoira knocked back her glass.
"Anyone elsh need a refill?" she said. Sasha and Dr Olivia gestured to their mostly full glasses and politely declined. "Oh well, all the more for me!" pouring herself another. "Always good for morale to shcelebrate after a succeshful mission..."
She was interrupted by a judder going through the ship.
"What wassh that!?"
"It sounded like the escape pod firing off..." said Sasha as a loud bang went through the ship as it came shuddering to a halt. "That didn't sound good..."
They all rushed to see what had caused the explosion. The escape pod was missing - as was their prisoner.
"Thish is bad," slurred the Captain.
"It looks like he set a fire to damage the inertial stabilisers," said Sasha, looking at the damage.
"Thish ish verra bad!"
Dregg looked around to see what had caused the explosion. As part of his escape, it seemed Jobrania had sabotaged the engine by setting a fire beside the ship's stabiliser. He leaned in for a closer look and noticed some glass shards.
"Captain, I know what caused the explosion..."
"Yesh? Don't leave us all in suspense, my dear!"
"He blew up your drinks cabinet."
"Thish ish a dishaster!"
