Merlin opens the door and sees a group
of Knights outside.
"You have been summoned by
the King! Come!"
"What of my friends?" says
Merlin with a commanding air.
"They must
stay."
"Very well. Lead the way, good Knights!"
says Merlin.
"I'll keep you posted!" thinks
Merlin to Speedy, Grassie, and FM.

Professor T had reached the black
corridor, so he seemed to be heading in the right
direction. But he was beginning to tire and the Daleks
were gaining on him. They were shouting "HALT!
HALT!" The professor thought he could hear another
voice coming over the PA system, but with the noise the
Daleks were making he couldn't make out what was being
said.
Breathless now, he came to a doorway
leading to the more industrial service corridors. He
could hear the distant buzz of machinery. Which way?
Which way? He turned right. The buzz of machinery grew
fainter. He turned quickly, slipping on the smooth
floor. He passed the entrance to the black corridor and
glimpsed the first Dalek heading in his
direction.
The buzz of machinery grew louder and
soon became deafening. The Daleks were getting nearer.
He kept running. Where was the doorway? At last he found
it. He darted into the room. Gasping for breath, he
leapt on to the desk and clicked the picture hook
downward. The door began to slide closed. But too late!
A silver Dalek squeezed past the closing door. The Dalek
was in the room. It swivelled toward the professor.
Breathing hard, he turned from the wall, wide-eyed with
fear.
FM eventually calmed down after he saw
Merlin leave. How on earth was he able to move a bed and
chair away from the wall without doing it, he
wondered. "Well, you're quiet at last,..." Speedy
muttered. "Why don't you get some sleep?" asked
Grassie as he yawned. "SNNNNNNNNNRF!" snored Dr
Warrell. "I have too much energy to sleep!" said FM
rapidly. "In fact, I want to tap dance! Even if I don't
know how to!" and he began to stomp his feet on the
floor. Speedy groaned. She had promised that she
wouldn't knock out FM but this was getting very
ridiculous. There must be too much sugar in the food...
she thought as she looked it at. But the food that they
gave them was bread, peanut butter, milk, some jelly,
and some 'turkey' (which Speedy thought was Dibb). He
must be on a sugar-low then, Speedy thought as she put a
pillow over her ears to drown out the noise. She
looked around, trying to find something that was like
earmuffs. Instead she found something much more
interesting. A window.

A
window?! Either you are going for anti-climax comedy, or
you're hinting at something....hmmm....

Merlin strolls into the throne
room.
"You there! Come here!" bellows the
King.
"Yes, your Majesty? What have you summoned
me for?" asks Merlin.
"Take a look around you!
This room is all jee-jaw! Cockeyed! Out of kilter!
Messed up!" says the Giant King Knight.
"Yes, I
see. May I go now?" says Merlin.
"No! I mean,
please don't! I would, erm, like you to fix it for me,"
says the King.
"I am afraid that I must decline,
sir. You really should be able to have some of your
knights straighten this room out. You have so many, it
wouldn't be too much of a chore. However, I see no
reason to waste my time, ability, and energy on
something so horrifically trite. Good day to you, I wish
to return to my room," says Merlin with artificial
disdain. He was trying very hard not to laugh
outright.

This did not situate with the king very
well at all. A person, a foreigner, an INFERIOR,
OPPOSING HIM?!?!?!?! This was unheard of! Steam began to
sizzle out of the helmet. "IFFFF you do not
comply with my wishes,..." began the king. "Ah, but I
am a wizard!" said Merlin as he did this: "WIZARD OR NOT! You
are MY prisoner in MY castle and if I tell you do
something, YOU BETTER DO IT!!!!!!!" yelled the
king. Merlin gulped. What on earth did he get himself
into now? Suddenly, a guard ran into the
room. "Your highness! We have an interesting scenario
going on, sire!" "I'M BUSY!" yelled the king. "But
sire! The prisoners are trying to
escape!" "WHAT?!?!?!?!" "What?" asked Merlin.
Speedy didn't mention anything like that to him! "The bird is
dangling one of the men out of the window to their room,
sire... and they aren't being too quiet about it
either," "Get the guards to the room and to the next
level below immediately!" "Yes, sire!" Now Merlin
was really confused.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Speedy
was not trying to escape. True, she was holding FM out
of the window by his feet, but she did it so he could
finally shut up and stop 'tap dancing'. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
PULL ME UP!!!" yelled FM. "Only if you stop dancing
and go to sleep!!!" Speedy yelled back at him.
"NO!" "Fine, I'll let go..." "NO!!!!" "Then
stop dancing! You can't tap dance!" "But I can
Riverdance!" "NOT ON MY TIME!"

And that was the last
sound any of the Daleks made. Professor T still stood on
top of the desk, his back to the wall, recovering his
breath. He looked at the Dalek that still stood facing
him. But now, suddenly, it was lifeless, its eye stalk
hanging down, unseeing.
A voice came over the PA
system:
"Deactivation sequence is complete. If
you require further assistance, please proceed to the
control centre."

Merlin tries desperately to establish a
link to any of the others, but he can't get
through.
"No wonder, they're busy escaping and
leaving me! I thought they didn't object nearly as much
as they ought to have when I had to come here. They just
let me be used as a diversion! Of all the nerve! No
matter, I can get along fine without them. Why, of all
the ignoble, underhanded, scheming..." thinks
Merlin.
Then he has a different
thought.
"I know what I'll do!" thinks
Merlin.
He gets up and follows the Knights back
to the rooms.

FM begins to cry. "PLEASE! Bring me
up!" he wailed. Grassie peaked over the
windowledge. "Speedy! What are you doing?" he asked
her. "I'm trying to get some sanity through his head!
It seems to be in his feet at the moment,..." Speedy
said. "But he'll pass out soon!" Grassie said,
getting worried. "Eh, good for us then?" Speedy
suggested. "Bring him in. He's crying like a baby,"
Grassie said. "How about if I drop him?" Speedy
suggested. "What? Ok, now you need some sleep bird,"
Grassie said. "What, it's only a 3 foot drop...,"
Speedy said. Grassie looked down. Sure enough, a foot
away from FM's head was a balcony onto the level
below. "He could get hurt if you do drop him. Just
bring him in," Grassie said. "(sigh) Fine..." Speedy
said as she pulled FM back in. Just when FM was
pulled into the window, the knights came onto the
balcony. They saw no one. "They must be around here
somewhere! You three, check below! The rest of you,
follow me!" said the head knight. "Aye!" said the
knights and they did that.

MrD, the Daleks were originally activated by the Star
Field Ship's onboard computer, as a result of Thietris's
request for assistance. The computer sensed that the
mission had been accomplished, possibly by the return of
the assistants to the ship, and therefore initiated
deactivation.
