Johnny Sixguns faced Toranaga in his kitchen stadium.
"My body is a vessel for the truth Toranaga"
Toranaga's face twisted in confusion.
"What the heck is that supposed to mean, loud mouthed braggart?"
"My mates will be here soon and they'll be serving you up a very special 'secret ingredient' if you know what I mean."
"You're friends are pitiful fools and ..."
But Toranaga did not finish as he was interrupted by his pimply-faced junior messenger.
"Your lordship, your lordship" the young man panted, "a message for you sir."
"what what what" toranaga replied in annoyed tone.
"The Planetary Sovereign has arrived and a party of warriors, mages, thieves and two epsilon-minus, semi-proles are storming the castle."
"Jimmy, White Shadow, PW - stop them - summon the ..."
But once again, Toranaga was interrupted, this time by a charging Turnips/Hannon.
"Banzai - BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWK!" he cried in his fiercest battle squawk.
In the meanwhile, Sir Bocking was busy sticking his shiv in the three henchmen while Zimbar pocketed the silver.
Woody and the Admiral halted in their tracks to ensure that none of the fine antique china was damaged in the melee.
The golem Fedor crashed through a wall and accidentally damaged three teacups but other than that most of the antique dining ware was protected.
Everything seemed to be going swimmingly until Lady Marzipan noticed a large lever marked "DO NOT PULL."
Woody took a moment from his guard duties to take a quick look at what had Lady Marzipan so engaged.
"I'll bet Lady Lyme Weoghe would be interested in this - she's always telling me not to touch stuff like that. I'll show her - I'll just go over there and demonstrate my will power in front of a witness. I won't fall for that one and pull it."
"Hey Lady M, its me Woody remember? Neat looking lever, mind if I get a closer look?"
Lady M replied, "No Woody, that's not a good idea, you know what happens. Lady Lyme Weoghe told me to keep an eye out for this type of thing."
"Oh no worries there Lady M. I'll just ..."
And here Woody slipped on a the slippery rind of a yellow tropical fruit and landed his other foot in a bucket as he stumble forward.
"I'll be just fine ..."
Woody, his eyes obscured by a large tapestry, stumbled right into the lever.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
Stars

Stillness of space
Bing, beep, beep
"Sir, Sir, you're needed on the bridge"
