In reply to Grimsby H. Baskerville (msg # 763):
"Probably for the best." Joseph says, "From what I've heard down in German East Africa, operation of the Liftwood vessels is more similar to ocean-going vessels than is operation of the German Zeppelins--thus, with only some difficulty, I should be able to fly it. Fingers crossed--heh-heh."
"Alright, then--Felicity, if you and the other ladies, here, would be so kind as to keep an eye on our slumbering guests, we gentlemen shall assist Doctor Solar in packing up everything here that he needs to take. Doctor Solar, would you be morally opposed to freezing these gentlemen, given the dual facts that your device has been proven to be non-lethal and that these so-called gentlemen held you against your will?"
"If not, we can just freeze them and go, otherwise we shall have to bind them when we leave and hope that they stay unconscious long enough for us to get a good head start before they start screaming, for we cannot gag them--they might then never get loose or get freed, and could then die. We don't want that."
"Time is of the essence, even should these men be frozen, so from here we should go and settle our business with the hotel, then head straight out to the airship--agreed, everyone? When--and if--we have secured that means of travel, we can then decide where, exactly we should next go, in order to resolve this issue with the Doctor."
"For if we do not resolve it, we could end up being labeled as criminals, ourselves, wanted internationally for kidnapping the Doctor and stealing the airship."
"Are we in agreement, then? Ladies, please watch the prisoners. Gentlemen, let us ready the wagon and Doctor Solar's amazing device. Slap leather, boys!"
