"General, is that necessary?" asks President Rytom, "I understand checking your weapons, but could you at least - "
There is a knock on the door, and everyone freezes.
"Everyone stay quiet," says Director Atlantis, "maybe they'll go away."
The knocking continues, turning into pounds.
"Detective, can you check what's out there?"
"I can't see a thing, it's too foggy!"
A voice speaks from outside, "
It's us! Let us in!
"
"The Council!" exclaims Detective Nera while punching buttons on a keypad by the door, and a short whirring noise can be heard.
"
Jesus!
" says another voice outside, "
is that a gatling
- "
The intruder's outburst is followed by something almost, but not quite akin to the sound of a kazoo orchestra, followed by panicked shouts.
"
No! It's us! The Tan
- "
The kazoo orchestra changes direction, as do the shouts, moving around past the front of the ship.
"
The Tanicians!
"
Detective Nera's eyebrows shoot up as he quickly fumbles with the switches, and the kazoo orchestra dies down.
"Right, let's not discuss this."
He throws a few more switches and a group of pocket medical droids appear from inside a storage cabinet. Another switch lowers the starboard boarding ramp, revealing two disgruntled men in suits, one of them clutching a bleeding shoulder, the other missing a piece of his ear. The medical droids immediately fly over and attach themselves to the wounds, to the evident relief of the new arrivals.
"Welcome to Nera, Agent Tanicia and Deputy Tanicia. I hope your trip was... pleasant?"
