Right, I say as I and the other's who'd been invisible to hide
our presence from the "Sneakers."
It's not without a little regret that I and the other elves need to
do this.....we regret it just as much as the fact that due to our short
stature and....rather sharp pointed ears precludes us from having participated
in the conversations between our group and Bishop's group.
Needs be that we must drop our cloaking spells before we complete this
next part. But at least it'll be swift.....
"What the Hell?!" Crease manages to shout in surprise as a redhead....elf?....appears
before him.
The other Sneakers shout in surprise as well as the other elves drop
their spells of cloaking....only to drop to the ground at the short but
alien sounding words these mysterious visitors.
Asleep they would stay until the proper counter was used on them.....
"Some of them do have a rather loud snore, do they not?" Nyssa chuckled
as she looked over the now magically slumbering Sneakers.

"Yes, they do at that," I agree with a twinkle in my eye and a small
smile on my face.
The only regret that I have is the fun we could have had working along
with them....if there had been enough time....and we could somehow have
kept up the ruse that we'd been keeping up until this moment.
"Now we need to get in gear and go to Playtronics," Ragan says, pointing
at an address in the phonebook. "And since this address number matches
the address block on the map where the Reservoir is.....the chances look
good that the script and what passes for real life are matching each other."
"But what if we are wrong?" Nyssa asks the group as they pile into the
TARDIS, "What if this Playtronics isn't the spot they took the Item?"
Elrondir
I smile over at B'elanna, who smiles back.
Go ahead and say it, she chuckles in my mind.
"Then we drop back and punt," Elrondir say mysteriously.
"We do what?" Nyssa asks, then remembers that phrase used under similar
circumstances.
"Oh....we improvise!" she answers herself, nodding sagely, "Hopefully,
though, we won't need to do that."
Elrondir, back when his name had been Seeker (and a Military AI)...back
when he'd only been a few weeks Awakened.....he'd come across the wonderful
phrases used in the American game of Football. Though he'd since outgrown
using it in EVERY occasion (with his rapid...unheard of promotion to officer
status by the eleventh month of his Awakened status....his crossover from
a mere machine to a real person...he'd gathered that that was less than
becoming of an officer since it confused his commanders) he still used
one every once in a while.
"Yes, let's hope we don't have to punt indeed," the Doctor
said in a half ironic voice as the TARDIS appeared in the hills around
Playtronics.

 Having switched
on the Chameleon circuit (since for this job required something
less conspicuous than a police box), the TARDIS now appeared like a rather
large bush.
