lyrics

In the Observation Room, we hear a video comm screen opening up.

Robot voice speaks:
“Communication Screen Opening - Video Message Begins:”

Minister for Off-World Developments Antoinette Fiennes sings:
Mr. McKey, glad that you're here, perhaps you recall we met before,
I’m Minister Fiennes, I’ve risen the ranks since you ran off to play with crooks and whores.
Mr. McKey, don’t dwell on the past, the future is almost in our grasp.
But we need your help with one small problem.

If you're willing to take a little leap of faith,
We need some answers to some questions never asked before.
They say you're one of a kind, an enquiring mind.
Keep this quiet and we'll tell you all there is to know.

Mc McKee, I now can reveal the teleport program has resumed.
We’ve had great success on a satellite lab, but one fatal flaw leaves us confused.
Mr McKee, Miss Vicefield believes, when no-one can solve our mystery,
You are the one we need to turn to.

Mr. Mc Key, the launch window's free, you're headed for Orbiter White Rose
Our jewel in the sky, the security’s high, but I’ve granted you rights to come on board.
Mr. McKey, regarding your fee, it will be discussed if you succeed.
Try not to misbehave before then.

If you're willing to take a little leap of faith,
We need some answers to some questions never asked before.
They say you're one of a kind, an enquiring mind.
Keep this quiet and we'll tell you all there is to know.

Communication Screen Closes.

Robot voice speak:
“Video Message Ends:”

Miller and Violet speak.

Miller:
“Wow, WHAT an asshole. I have this urge to stick a cabbage juice enema in her.”

Violet:
“She ain’t winning awards with her personality, but Minister Fiennes gets results.”

Miller:
“Teleport research, ha? She’s just using you Violet. Like a second hand dildo.”

Violet:
“I’m using her right back! Her self-serving meant I could go further with the study, achieve something, actual teleportation.And maybe someday figure out what happened to Jonah.”

Miller:
“Ah, good luck with that, I tried everything, he’s gone forever.”

Violet:
“Oh yeah Genius? How is it I’m shovelling your drunken ass off a beach, if you know everything?”

Miller:
“It’s fun to bet chips when you can count cards, calculate and predict outcomes, but it’s never as much fun as betting on the stuff you can’t predict.”

Violet:
“Until you lose.”

Miller:
“Yeah. I never see that coming.”

Robotic announcement:
“Delta 10 Exiter Launch in 6 minutes.”

Violet:
“Let’s go, we’ve got an Exiter to catch.”
