Act 1 Scene 4
NASA HQ. Evil NASA overlord Z is sitting at his desk. Commander Saddam is standing before the desk.
Z: So, Saddam Hussein, have you made any progress building a time machine?
Commander Saddam: No, no I haven't.
Z: Need I remind you, Saddam, that we only saved you from execution at the hands of the Iraqis because you claimed to be a brilliant rocket scientist?
Commander Saddam: Err...
Z: A claim which subsequently turned out to be false?
Commander Saddam: well...
Z: You then avoided a second execution by claiming to be able to build a time machine.
Commander Saddam: Yeah...
Z: This also appears to have been a lie.
Commander Saddam: There have been some unforeseen setbacks. I need MOAR funds!
Z: What exactly have you produced so far?
Commander Saddam: I have built some Anthrax
Z: Oh yes, it always seems to come back to Anthrax.
the office door opens. Z's PA fshy enters.
Fshy: General Gayer here to see you sir.
General Gayer: Hello chief.
Z: Hello General Gayer
General Gayer: Our spy reports that the Flat Earth Society have begun building their own time machine, chief. They plan on going back to protect Rowbotham.
Z: WHAT? They must be stopped! General, take a strike team and kill them all!
Fshy: Excuse me sir, can I use your phone? It's quite important.
Z: Yes of course. Go ahead.
Fshy uses the phone
Fshy: Hello. Yes it's me. No time to talk, they're on to you. You must leave on the mission immediately, otherwise you'll all be killed. Good luck.
Z: Right, where was I? Oh yes. General Gayer, I order you to kill the Flat Earth Society!
