Get Help? From Where?

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 7851

Damn! I knew wearing a dress, of all things, was a bad idea, Astra thought. Then she called: "Velus, my dress has got caught and I'm stuck! Get help!" Velus gave a succession of barks which, when decoded, said: "Now how on Earth am I going to find any help around here? The only solution is for me to tear away the bit of the dress that is stuck, using my teeth."

But, to Vellus's disappointment, Astra's body did not leave sufficient space for him to wriggle past and into a position where he could get at the part of the dress that was stuck. "Sorry, but you are going to have to find a way to get free yourself," he barked.

Astra wasn't as familiar as Fred with the code of barks that Fred and Vellus had worked out, but the gist of that was pretty clear. She was a warrior-princess, fit and strong. Surely she could tear through a piece of dress material? She tensed her muscles for a final effort, then pulled with all her might.

  1. R-R-R-I-I-I-I-I-P! She was free! The dress was now torn almost down to the hem, and she slipped out of it and left it behind.
  2. Still no good. Nor did trying to back up again work. What now?
  3. Astra calling to Velus had alerted the aliens to where she was, and they removed a one foot square ceiling panel which was immediately beneath her midriff.
