Death was silent as the grave on the entire 10 minute trip (yep, the ‘time travel
to any destination’ anomaly worked this time), just staring blankly, while HELLdin dabbed the drool as it dribbled down his beard, as it annoyed Schnecke immensely (this, coming from one who leaves a slime trail wherever he goes *sigh*)
They went directly to Professor PP’s lavatory, er, I mean La'BORE-atory.

‘We come seeking Eezillyobtainium. A rare earth element!’ it bellowed inside our heads.
‘Sedate him or something!’ HELLdin franticized.
‘I am not a doctor! I am a scientist! Professor PP spat *spat*.

HELLdin, tearing at her hair in desperation for who knew what atrocities were being performed on her beloved FarLich, ‘We need a doctor!’ she wailed in earnest supplication.
*whoosh...whoosh...whoosh* along with the melodious sound of a theremin (and, no, it is not Star Trek...or is it????) echoed about the room.
(followed by a voice heard off camera) ‘Did someone call for a Doctor?’

Who is this mysterious stranger, you might ask? Is he, indeed, a Doctor? Why is he off camera?
