The Saboteur

"I feel fantashtic!" she announced. "But it'sh hot in here. I'm gonna take my clothesh off... Oh, they are off. Why don't you all take yoursh off too...? Nobody? You're all chicken! Ish it becaushe you're shy? Don't worry, I promishe not to laugh. I know you can't all have beautiful bodiesh like mine."

"You're supposed to be making a speech about the hundred-thousandth episode," Scott reminded her in a piercing whisper.

"Boring! But if you inshisht. Did you know that the Never Ending Quesht hash a shaboteur? But for him there would be far more epishodes than however many it wash that you shaid."

The shadowy figure, now lurking at the edge of the room, tensed. This was what he had been trying to prevent. Any moment now Astra would reveal his name. What could he do to prevent it?

1. He starts a fight among the crowd.
2. He distracts Astra by shouting: "Fred's sister, Lady Rowena, has a more beautiful body than yours!"
3. He readies his blowpipe, and fires a tranquillising dart at Astra. He hadn't wanted to draw attention to his presence like that (hence the GHB, whose effects would be put down to booze), but it was an emergency.
4. He starts chanting: "Barrel roll! Barrel roll!" He hopes that the rest of the crowd will take it up, and that Astra will be encouraged to stop speaking and give them what they want.
