WHO: Prince Gorak
WHERE: Suid Sidal...

Gorak is pulling himself out of the dark water thinking to himself that he has ruined yet another fine uniform. He’ll never get the foul smell out of it now. He just hopes he can find the lights in here before…

Suddenly, something strong grabs the prince by the waist and pulls him back into the water. The grip is so tight he barely has time to catch his breath as he is pulled under. The prince uses one hand to hold onto the the water’s edge and the other to find whatever is grabbing onto him. His hand finds a muscular and slimy tentacle that is in the process of tighening it’s grip on him. Unfortunately, the tentacle is right over his gun holster and he can’t reach the weapon. The prince knows he better do something fast or he is a dead man. If he has guessed right the tentacle will be the least of his problems. The fangs and jaws will likely rip him to pieces long before the life is crushed out of him. He needs to do something NOW.

With a monumental effort the prince manages to pull his head, at least, above the water.

Gorak: "This is GENERAL Gorak. And I command you to RELEASE ME. And turn on the damn lights."

Not far away in the darkness, the prince can hear the translator burping out his message.

There is a pause of 2 or 3 heartbeats. Then all around him he can hear other burping, flatulence-like noises. More heartbeats…. Then the lights come on. Slowly, almost reluctantly, the tentacles release the general.

Gorak gets out of the water with the most dignity he can muster and then stands tall. He walks around and locks the room doors as speaks.

Gorak: "Ambassador….uh….Brap-Du-Poop. I read that you and your podquid contingent were being accommodated in room 5B-2? What are you doing here?"
