‘I’m here, Colonel,’ said a seductive female voice from behind Dash. ‘I wouldn’t miss this for the universe.’ Dash spun round.
‘Samantha Fumblebot,’ he gasped with a gasp. ‘As beautiful as ever.’
‘Oh, you,’ laughed Fumblebot. ‘Three months of being missing presumed dead on an ice planet and you haven’t lost any of your charm.’
‘No,’ grinned Dash, grinning. ‘Just a few of my toes.’
