Just before the clock reached zero, a screen flickered on a
console near the end of the viewing platform to reveal Kent Brockman, the fictional
newsreader from the Simpsons.
‘We interrupt this world domination takeover to bring you
this breaking announcement.’ The screen went blank as the opening words of
Donna Summer’s ‘I love you always forever’
plays through the speakers. Flint looked round the room at his commanding
officers, baffled. They returned the gesture; shrugging their shoulders right
back at him. At the words ‘Discovering You’, a single message in a small white
font is displayed on the screen. It reads simply; Scavengers Rule.
Through the window into the depths of space, lights flicker
on to reveal a long oval-shaped silver zeppelin with large wings and fins.
However, Flint’s attention is focused on his cydroids as their feet have
started to tap in time with the bass line of the music.
