[QUOTE="Capellan, post: 1135956, member: 6294"] [b]"Blast Off!" - Part 6[/b] A tall, bearded man in a tweed suit is the first to raise his hand, and Ivanov calls on him for his question. The man stands, seeming almost to unwind from his chair, "I am Heinz Reikel of ze [I]Berlin Express[/I]." He identifies himself, "Und my question is for ze goot Doctor." "Eh?" Doctor Gustav, still fascinated with the innards of his microphone, looks up after a less than subtle nudge from Archie, "Vhat is it?" "Herr Doctor," Reikel poises a sleek black pen over his notepad, "I vas vondering if you could explain to us ze reason why you haf chosen to bring ze girl and ze robot on ze mission with you."
