WHO: Prince Gorak
WHERE: Dandy's bed, PezDispenser

That night Gorak has a vivid dream.

~~~~~~~~~

After months of lobbying, hard work, and payoffs he was finally back in command. The proud captain of a powerful new battlecruiser, The Primate Killer. By exploiting and threatening multiple contacts he had at last located and cornered his hated adversary.

Gorak lowers the Primate Killer until it hovers just above a flat building. The battleship resembles a giant bird of prey poised for the strike. It’s wingspan stretches 300 meters from tip to tip and it blocks out the sun making the small building look dark and vulnerable.

Gorak: (voice thundering from the ship’s external speakers) “BINGO! You vile little ugly monkey. I have your house surrounded. Come out and meet your simian maker, you son of a baboon.”

Science officer: “He is coming out captain.”

Gorak: (with a wide smile of satisfaction) “On screen. I want to see the look on his hairy little face as he dies.”

The viewscreen shows a little figure coming out slowly. But the figure is carrying something large that is making it teeter from side to side.

Gorak: (intrigued) “Heh. What have we here? What does the little fool got that makes him think he can harm US? Magnify image.”

The viewscreen zooms in on Bingo who is barely stablizing on his shoulder what appears to be a huge cannon.

Weapons officer: (his eyes widening and his face turning an ashy white) “C-c-captain… Is that a Mark VI MiniPlas cannon?!?!”

Gorak: (incredulous) “Oh no. That’s MY miniplas! Shields!! Raise shields NOW!”

Too late. At this range and with such a large target Bingo could hardly miss despite his unsteady aim. The mini plasma torpedo impacts right into the Primate Killers belly with a devastating fireball that blows back the little monkey several feet.

As Gorak and his ship burn, the last image he sees on the viewscreen is the little monkey getting back to his feet and eep eeping excitely in a wild dance of victory.

~~~~~~~~~

The Prince wakes up with a start.

“That monkey tasks me. He tasks me, and I shall have him.”

He then rolls over and goes back to sleep.
