THE FOURTH GATHERS: SCENE 22: CROSSFIRE

	ST ER ORMTROOP: "It is they! Blast them!"

Mr. Thoreau shoots one of them dead. The others flee. He runs after them. The Gospel Of Luke and Princess Leah just stand by and watch.

	MR. THOREAU: "Back to the ship!"

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "Where are you going? come back!"

	PRINCESS LEAH: "He certainly courage."

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "What is it with us ... If he commit suicide? hurry."

The Gospel Of Luke grabs Princess Leah's hand and makes the run for it.

Mr. Thoreau runs after the ST ER ORMTROOPS, screaming at the top of his lungs.

	MR. THOREAU: "what!"

He runs into a room filled with troopsesses. His beserk yelling quickly transforms into a scream of fear.

	MR. THOREAU: "what!"

The Gospel Of Luke and Princess Leah reach a deep pit.

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "Shout!"

(Dammit Mark, that's the stage directions. You're not supposed to read those out loud!)

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "I think we took the wrong way."

The troopsesses catch up with them. Leah manages to close the door behind them.

	PRINCESS LEAH: "No lock."

The Gospel Of Luke shoots the controls next to the door.

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "That is, it will remain for some time."

	PRINCESS LEAH: "quickly! We can enter. You can find the spread leg control."

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "I guess I'm just strange."

	PRINCESS LEAH: "They came!"

(Hey, Mr. President. No time for love. You've got company!)

ST ER ORMTROOPs emerge from another hallway. The Gospel Of Luke shoots one of them. They retreat.

	THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: "Here, hold this."

He hands Leah his gun. She start shooting at the troopsesses - who have returned - and kills one of them. What's worse, the ST ER ORMTROOPs behind them are starting to get through the door...

	PRINCESS LEAH: "Here they come."

Leah gives The Gospel Of Luke a kiss (which won't in any way be awkward later.)

	PRINCESS LEAH: "For luck."

The Gospel Of Luke uses his grappling hook to swing himself and Leah across the pit.

The ST ER ORMTROOPs run through the corridors of the Station Wagon, trying to figure out where the intruders went.

	ST ER ORMTROOP: "We think they can be split. They may be a teacher, grade 5 and 6 now."

Once they have run past, Ratio Tile manages to sneak by them in the opposite direction.
