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.”
M-Opus are a progressive rock band from Ireland.
(Jonathan Casey, Mark Grist, PJ O'Connell, Colin Sullivan,
James Dunne).
They are a real band, but have a fictional history.
They record their albums today, but the albums have release dates in the past, featuring the sounds of music at that time.
"At The Mercy Of Manannán" (1972), "ORIGINS" (1978) and "1975 Triptych" (1975)....more
Whilst delivering well crafted music, unless you focus on the lyrics, you could miss the story lines. This is the last of the war trilogy, so subtle ,but so poignant. Superb music with broken road and Holding On ,on permanent repeat. Listen and become enthralled. Top quality song writing and musicianship.10/10

Surprisingly good. As may be expected from 2 members of a Pink Floyd tribute band, "Rain" invites comparisons to PF's concept albums and Roger Waters' solo work. Recommended listening for anybody who was disappointed by Endless River! SantaR
This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all.
After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie
Tim Arnold's latest album of lushly detailed art-pop explores the insidious ways tech surveillance has become a part of our lives. Bandcamp New & Notable May 9, 2023
A spirited, modern imagining of classic ’70s prog; Pink Floyd vocalist Durga McBroom and Finnish prog icon Jukka Gustavson guest. Bandcamp New & Notable May 10, 2023
BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
