"Hehehe," chuckled Burlington, sipping on his Dublin Whiskey, "Murder? You shoulda told me this earlier...Then we would have had a wonderful laugh together, Mr....uhhh...what was it?"
"Cooper," said Cooper.
"Right...right, Cooper." Burlington paused and sipped. "I didn't commit any murder, Mr. Cooper. And if you still believe that I did...you can check it against my C-O-2, scrubbers. Aye, they've been working overtime. Sure, I was in orbit of ole' en-el the 14th, but I sure didn't land, either."
Cooper leaned forward, interested. "Now, what was in the box?"
Burlington chuckled and looked down.

Inside the room, Sir Alan and the others watched. Suddenly, a mechanical, yet feminine voice rang out through the speak in the ceiling.
"Deviations from Previously Recorded Speech Patterns Detected."
"Deviations from Previously Recorded Speech Patterns Detected."
"Deviations from Previously Recorded Speech Patterns Detected."
"Deviations from Previously Recorded Speech Patterns Detected."

"Burlington?" asked Cooper, "You alright?"
Burlington grunted, simply looking down at the floor of the room. "You want to know what was in the box?"
------------------------------------------
"Deviations from Previously Recorded Speech Patterns Detected."
Sir Alan stood up slowly. "McNab, Vimes, get Mr. Cooper out of there. Whitacre, get a medic, stat. Trevelyan, Roxburg, Lawrence, come with me. Scott, you stay here. Until I'm back, you're in command."
"Deviations from Previously Recorded Speech Patterns Detected."
------------------------------------------
Cooper motioned towards Burlington, putting the glass of whiskey down. "Humphrey?"
Without looking up, the man sighed heavily. "I.....was in that box....."
------------------------------------------
"Deviations from Previously Recorded Speech Patterns Detected........Advise caution."
