Oink: AARGH!
Toaster: See—very dramatic!
You come in and see the star we're falling into!
The scream was a nice touch!
Oink: What happened?
Toaster: Remember they said there was a one in a million
chance of coming out of Hilbert space this close to a star?
Well, it seems to have happened...
Oink: Help! Er, communications panel—broadcast on all channels! Shrove Tuesday! Shrove Tuesday!
Toaster: You mean “Mayday”, and I did that already.
Oink: Power's on full already. What did you want me for?
Toaster: I was hoping for one of those animal flashes of inspiration...
Oink: Er, we could reverse the polarity.
Toaster: Reverse the polarity of what?
Oink: Um...
Well, sensible inspiration is more Kristy's style than mine...
Toaster: I'll wake her next, but it will take a while..
Oink: Why is it so qatting hot?
Toaster: A/C power is diverted to the engines...
But it's not going to be enough.
Oink: So I see... but if we divert power to the Hilbert drive,
We'll fall into the star before we could make the jump.
Toaster: Yup. I plotted an escape orbit, but we'd get way too close to the star..
Basically, we're doomed!
Oink: No, wait...
