Oooops!

Hal was immediately redefining his definition of big. After managing to slip out of his suitcase lined hiding place and sneak his large frame to a safer position behind a row of as yet to Hal, undefined rectangularish, silvery, floating yet very heavy looking things, he scanned his field of view and tried to make a rational decision as to where he was exactly. When that failed to work, he satisfied himself with the knowledge that he was in something very, very big. There was a gaping hole in the distance where his jet had clearly entered and landed, but improbably it seemed to be a long, long way above terra firma. Similar in some respects to some weird Star Wars type of Death Star sort of entry bay, except that couldn’t be right, as he wasn’t in a movie. He sidled around to get a better perspective of what he knew couldn’t be at all real, and reassessed his assumptions as the noise of a weird looking round silvery thing blasted its way out of the distant hole, and buzzed off into the starry night sky.

He caught a glance of Minor-Morris and Sir Bradley being greeted by someone with a snazzy uniform, but a noticeably light limish green complexion.

Once his superiors had walked off with the greenish gentleman, the jet that had brought them all here was tugged around into what looked like a take off position. Within seconds its engines revved and it proceeded to wend its way towards the distant hole, and off on its merry way. Hal then thought about Cappi. Still waiting at the aerodrome.

Then came an announcement.

‘Prepare for immediate ascent to preliminary orbit.’

Hal had no idea what it meant except for the word orbit. That didn’t sound promising at all. He watched as he saw everyone scurrying from what looked like a very big undercover airport and through solid, hatch like doors lining the perimeter. There was a similar door just behind Hal, so he thought it might be wise to use it. As he closed the door behind himself, he looked through the small porthole and gasped as he stared at the hole in the distance. There seemed to be a round greenish-blue thing starting to make an appearance in the middle of it now.

‘Oh dear, ooops,’ he thought. ‘I really should have gone directly back to my hotel. This doesn’t look good.’

Looking around, he found himself in a deserted service corridor with odd hieroglyphics on the walls that acted in a very strange fashion. At first glance they were incomprehensible to Hal, but the longer he looked, they then magically turned into English. The first one he concentrated on turned from irregular squiggles into ‘Staff Toilets This Way’ within a matter of seconds. The next changed as quickly. ‘In Case Of Fire, Break Glass.’ As there was every likelihood that someone would come strolling down this corridor shortly, Hal made his next sensible decision. Hide.

A sign on a nearby door that again started as strange squiggles, turned into ‘Soiled Linen Store 112.
