Angel: Dave! We're supposed to be looking for clues. Have a root around
while I look through Victor's databases.
Spot: Computer, pressing buttons and logging on.
Dave: What am I looking for?
Angel: Anything that could tell us who Victor was communicating with
yesterday when he was in the Central Lab yesterday. Word 3000- fantastic,
we've got that on the ship..so if I just press that, then that . it
should..Great! I'm in!
Dave: Wow!
Angel: Yeah! We're getting somewhere!
Dave: No, the spring catalogue! Lots of pictures of ladies..mmmm
Spot: Flicking through a magazine.
Angel: I can't find anything that..here! This file lists all that
information Victor said out loud yesterday. (She reads some of it)
Dave: mmmm, the leg section..such a variety.
Angel: So, whoever Victor was speaking to was in here taking notes, but
who?
Spot: Magazine flicking.
Dave: Of course, read it for the stories.
Angel: How else would he get that information typed into this file?
Dave: Oh mama! I'm taking this home! If I could just get this gadget off
that seems to be stuck to the front page.
Spot: Tearing from magazine, Dictaphone falling on the floor.
Angel: I told you not to touch!
Victor: (playing from Dictaphone) Blah he said in the lab.
Angel: Dave! You've cracked it! That's a Dictaphone- he wasn't talking
to
someone else, he's recording it for himself. Victor wants to use the K62
to
set up his own Chip World company. Dave, you're a star!
Dave: (confused, high) Well, all in a days work.
