After we open back up, we see the entrance hatch from Stingray's Pen 3 opening up again. Light beams out from inside, and Stingray booms out and soars off, with material supplied by the familiar stock footage. Troy and Phones are at the controls, with Brains standing behind them and inspecting the craft. Lady Penelope, Parker, and Marina are sat at the back. Dr Moxax is nowhere to be seen. The voice of Atlanta is heard over the radio.
Troy:
Tower from Stingray, seaborne. On course to Arctica base.
Atlanta:
Ok Stingray. Have a good trip.
Troy:
Thanks Atlanta. Are you ok in the back there?
Penelope:
We're fine thank you, Troy.
Parker:
Corr! Stingray knows 'ow to make quite an exit out of Marineville, m'lady.
Troy:
Well, Mr. Hackenbacker, what do you make of her?
Brains:
I-I am m-most impressed, Captain. I admire her, v-very much. There is one thing though, w-where did Dr Moxax get to?
Phones:
I don't know. She not there?
Troy:
Well I couldn't care less, to be honest, Phones. But we'd better make sure we know where she's at. But we ought to make sure we know where she is at in case she causes anymore mischief.
Penelope:
Parker and I will take care of it, won't we?
Parker:
Yes, m'lady.
Brains:
If you don't m-mind Captain, if I was to help look for the Doctor too.
Troy:
By all means, Hiram. Take as long as you want looking around.
Dr Moxax is back in the guest bedroom aboard Stingray. She is crouched down like before and has the radio again. It is currently on with the antennas up and the screen displays Titan in his craft.
Moxax:
I have done everything you have instructed. There is doubt among them, and they suspect me. But they can't touch me because of my rank.
Titan:
Very well. We will be arriving shortly.
The woman hears footsteps from outside, and she quickly looks in a panic at the door. After turning off her radio and hiding it in her pocket again, she makes for the door and opens it to find Parker listening on it with his nose sticking in slightly. The Doctor is nervous and panicked.
Moxax:
Why are you, I mean, why are you down here?
Parker:
We were just looking where you were. What are you doing down 'ere?
Moxax:
I... err... was just looking for the bathroom.
Parker:
Oh. I see. Got a bit lost then?
Moxax:
Erm, yes. I thought that some bedrooms may have a bathroom or an ensuite inside.
Parker:
Well miss, I think it might be down there.
Moxax:
Oh. Well, thank you.
They look at each other as Moxax passes Parker. She has now gone.
Parker:
Hmm. A bit suspicious for my liking.
Meanwhile, back at Marineville, the Ladybird Jet has arrived and is facing towards the right of the camera on the runway. After showing the massive tower control again from an exterior, we look at the Ladybird Jet and are then inside with pilot Scott and passenger Gordon. Atlanta's voice is heard over the radio once more.
Scott:
Tower from Ladybird Jet, do we have permission to leave Marineville?
Atlanta:
You have clearance.
The craft then begins speeding along the runway and is eventually accelerating off at a high speed. It rises up and up and then takes off into the sky. Eventually, the craft reaches a suitable height for it to turn horizontally to fly.
Scott:
How was it Gordon? Dad and the others back home are dying to know about it.
Gordon:
Wasn't exactly pleasant I guess. Seeing Troy and the Commander again was great. Brains, Penelope and Parker are alright. But Dr Moxax from Arctica has been causing trouble. She came to the party last night.
Scott:
Oh. So not so good then?
Gordon:
Well, she wasn't very nice to Marina. But we can't do much about the Doctor because she has such power and authority. And the World Navy need her to deliver the cahelium successfully.
