#SNIP#
Unknown figure with a cat in his hand: "I'll take it from here."

One of the Sprague 3000s: ::lowers Star back to the ground and releases his shirt::
#SNIP#


{USS Albion, Corridor}

Good Sprague 3000: ::accidentally drips ice cream onto his arm:: "Oh no." ::moves wipe it away with a napkin::

Sprague: ::eyes and mouth widen::

Good Sprague 3000: ::smiles and nods, then licks it up::

Key: "That's my Cap'n!" ::turns to the real Sprague:: "And Cap'n!"

Good Sprague 3000: ::a panel opens on his arm:: "Wait, what's this?" ::one of the buttons is red and labeled "Cancel mission and destroy all evidence":: "I wonder what it does?" ::presses the red button::


{Earth, Admiral Star's Office}

Sprague 3000s: ::all explode as they begin to fall to the ground::


{USS Albion, Corridor}

Good Sprague 3000: ::still standing, no worse for the wear::

Key: "I guess it doesn't do anything!"


{Earth, Admiral Star's Office}

Star: ::crawls out from under Sprague 3000 body parts, covered in suit, coughing::

Unknown figure with a cat in his hand: ::still masked, but knocked out::

Star: ::removes mask to reveal _________::


{USS Albion, Bridge}

1 week later...

Admiral Yoshimeyer: ::on screen:: =/\=Yeah, so we couldn't charge Admiral Star with conspiracy and a whole bunch of other stuff because he never completed the required conspiracy training. And since we couldn't charge him, we had no grounds to remove him as head of Star Fleet.=/\=

Sprague 3000: "What about me?"

Yoshimeyer: =/\=We haven't decided yet. For now, both of you will command the Albion.=/\=

Sprague 3000 and Sprague: ::both look to each other::

Key: "Double party time!"

Sprague 3000: "But why wasn't I destroyed with the rest of the androids?"

Yoshimeyer: =/\=Apparently, when you were damaged in Admiral Star's office, you were disconnected from the net.=/\=


OFF:

So that's it, we're FINALY DONE! You guys did amazing!!! Whoever wants to can reveal who the mysterious figure was.

I'll start the new mission next week after FallFest! https://fallfestonline.com/ -- this Saturday, be there!!!

Until then, feel free to post about anything else you like! And yes, we will continue with two Spragues next mission!
