Cum Igni et Tonitrui!

[Thunderer]

Arthur McGregor, the first officer, calmly comes on the bridge and walks towards Charles.

Arthur: Captain, we're going in a wrong direction.
Charles: Oh.
Arthur: No, really! We should be going t' Leeds jump goite, but we're going t' planet Dover!
Charles: Oh! Who the bloody hell is navigating us!?

Both of them hastily walk towards the navigation room. At the same time, Sir Piett writes something, making an evil grin.

Charles: You!?
George, his youngest brother: Me?
Charles: Yes, you! What the devi... What are you doing here?
George: I was invited, same as you. You did notice that letter was opened, right?
Charles: Yes...
George: I opened it. It was also directed to me, but that coffee stain made my name impossible to be read by your and your wife's old eyes.
Charles: Why didn't you tell us?
George: I didn't want to disturb you. Victoria* would be totally shocked, and you would know anyways. I took the letter and left a note in my bedroom that I have found a woman to marry. It would be enough for them. They're trying to find me a permanent one for all these 42 years. I just can't stand a long relationship.
Charles: (chuckles) I can understand you, brother! However, this is a dangerous place for you.
George: It is too late now, I'm afraid. There is no coming back. I have found a meaning for my life.
Charles: I can't let you...
George: (rises his voice) The Armed Forces have decided. There will be no deserters. I have only two choices - to be punished, or to fight for our home. Brother, neither you, nor I can do anything now.
Charles: (breaths is and out and lets a tear) Alright, my bro. (hugs George) Alright. (pats his back) At least you don't have to fix that plumbing! Anyways, why did you direct us towards Dover?
George: Oh. They have a good tea cook there. I hoped you would appreciate if we hired him.
Charles: (his lips shiver, but then he lets them go, making a wide smile) Of course! Wonderful!

The admiral enters the room to check what the devil is going on there, lifts his eyebrow in confusion, and then makes that evil grin again, while writing something down.

* Victoria - their youngest sister.
