Scene: Exedore enters Breetai's command center wearing bushy side-burns, dog ears over his real ears, and a dog-like tail sticking out of the back of his suit. Seeing this, Breetai does a double-take.

Breetai: Umm, Exedore, old friend. What are you doing??

Exedore: I'm a Zog, my lord.

B: A Zog? What's that??

E: I am part Zentraedi, part Dog. I'm my own best friend.

Meanwhile, over on the bridge of the SDF-1, Gloval looks over at Lisa with a cocked eyebrow.

(Unsteady POV suggests a handheld videocamera, angling for a low shot from behind a slightly open office door...
Audio is of a man's voice singing...)

Got out of town on a boat goin' to southern islands
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea
She was makin' for the trades on the outside
And the downhill run to Papeete

Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
We got eighty feet of waterline, nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away
(POV angles to show a desk with a pair of well-polished boots proppped up on it....still can't see the singer. though...)

Think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten

I have been around the world
Lookin' for that woman-girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way...

(It's Field Marshal Leonard, pushed back in his armchair, hands knitted behind his head, staring up at the ceiling, soloing Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young's "Southern Cross" and doing a pretty good job of it...until he ctahces out of the corner of his eye that he's being watched...)
Leonard: "....-Whar-?! FORSYTH!!! YOU SKUNK! I'll---"
(The door abruptly closes as the POV retreats with great haste..)

*It;s a sad sign of how much of a Robogeek I've become that I can't hear one without thinking of the other... :oops:

LIsa(onboard Breetai's ship): "NO, Rick! I lost the camera! I lost the information! The pictures! I can't finish the mission!"
Rick: "Sure we can! WE'll just get more pictures!"
Lisa: "Hunter, did you just hear what I SAID?! I lost the camera! It's GONE! Smashed to bits! And I know you aren't carrying one! Where are we going to find another?"
Rick: "There's a souvenir stand just down the hall..."
...sure enough, there's small cubby-stall set in the side of the hallway, with a glass counter, spinner rack outside, and a tee-short-wearing young Zentraedi clone looking utterly bored and asleep under his emblazoned cap behind the counter. THe stall is stuffed with tee-shirts, hats, models of Zentraedi ships and mecha, pendants, fake campaign medals, and racks and racks of postcards of pictures of noteworthy Zentraedi, ships, battles, fleet formations, and other matters of martial importance...
"Here's what we do..."

Later:
Onboard the SDF-1 during the post-rescue debriefing...
Maistroff: "And what evidence do you have of your allegations of the size of the alien fleet?"
Lisa: "Just these..."
Rick, Ben, and Max struggle to pull a pile of giant banner-sized cardboard postcards onto the desk, the top one inscribed in Zentraedi characters: "GRAND FLEET MEET, SECTOR 0238"

In military order several dozen uniformed women file into the room.
"CHAMBERS READY!"

With a hiss of escaping vapor, several clusters of giant tubes open up.
"TAKE YOUR PLACES!"

Several dozen skyclad women in toned physical shape step forward and climb into the chambers, then turn.
"CLOSE CHAMBERS!"
Just out of sight, a VF stands in the shadows overseeing the operation...Inside the pilot is slumped at his seat, eyes glued to his monitors, and a thin stream of blood coming from his nose...He's watched this take place a dozen times already...
"...i love my job...."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, on a Male Zentraedi ship, a similar scene is taking place...only the overseeing Micronian mecha is a Spartan destroid, and the pilot is female...
"...six-pack abs...i love my job..."

According to the new RPG book, male Zentraedi are assigned the menial jobs aboard Female Zentraedi ships...
This is rife with possibilities...

*BEEP*BEEP*
"Enter."
"Menial Slaz, Commander Azonia. Hear your shower got clogged again?"
"Third time this week...at least I didn't drown in it like the first time."
"Very well, ma'am..I'll see to it..."
(fast forward to scene of plumber stripped to waist working to unclog pipes while Azonia is oh-so-subtly ogling his backside...)

Of course, such an encounter more probably went like this...

Stereotypical:
(Big hulking male Zentraedi bending over to work on the pipes...with Azionia not-so-subtly gagging at the sight thus presented.)

OR:

The Right Tool for the Right Job.
(Male menial goes in, takes a look at the clog..does what he knows...starts unpacking demolition supplies and sets up a charge as Azonia on-so-subtly begins to worry...)

"See, Ariel! Behold that the Humans consort with the Children of the Shadows!" The Regis exclaimed as the image of alien spacecraft appeared in the center of the Hive.
She saw the astonished looks on the faces of the humans, no doubt shocked at how Invid senses could still penetrate the stealth of the human weapons systems, and saw the quizical look of incomprehension on her misguided child's face...
She decided to explain..."THey show their true face in such weapons.."
"We consort with KLINGONS?!"
The interruption came from the red-headed human. The Regis glared at the primitive for his impunity in interrupting her diatribe, and she was readying a suitably painful rebuke when she caught sight of the image in the Hive globe...
No Shadowtech, no Shadowfighters assualting Invid...but a squadron of gangling, long-necked, pylon-engineered alien warships zooming at the point of view...
"Oh %&*^!!!"
The Regis took the remote out of her robe sleeve and pressed the buttons...No response...shook it...no response...Then proceeded to wack it against her hip..."It was working a minute ago! Damn all-in-one remote control!"
"Maybe the batteries are dead?"
"Wow! Is that High Definition?"
"Mother? What are those?"
"You gotta be kidding me!"
"You still get 'Star Trek' reruns? Or the tapes? Can I get a copy off you?"
"YOU FOOLS AREN'T HELPING THINGS ANY!!!"
Behind the increasingly frustrated Regis, Starfleet and the Klingon armada continued exchanging shots...
