Time for catacopter tours
Francescaa makes sure that the onboard teleporter is working, so
kitties (and others) can teleport from the catacopter to the ground if they need to leave, or from the ground to the catacopter if someone wants to board after takeoff. She does a walkaround inspection of the catacopter, then she starts the engines and gets them warming up. She does the powered portion of her preflight, finds all is as it should be, and makes a boarding call for all interested parties. Ranger and Sammy help make sure that everybody is strapped in and has their seats and heateres adjusted for comfort. Ranger then adjusts the left-hand seat in the cockpit to have room for 2, and he and Pipps get themselves secured. The copter lifts off, and Francesca flies it out of the large opening in the side of the ice shelf. She climbs to an elevation of 500 feet or so, then turns the copter towards the south. The catacopter has just settled itself on a southerly course when the aircraft radio can be heard through the intercom. "I say, Roadcat Copter 1, this is Rothera Station. Welcome! I wonder if you might be game for a bit of lookabout? We seem to have lost a team of scientists." Francesca queries the station as to last kknown coordinates and expected heading of the science party, then she banks the copter around. Once they reach the last known coordinates Francesca takes to the intercom. "Ok, everykitty - and everydoggy and everypenguin - we're looking fur some silly hoomins. Dey was out playing in da snow an dey getted lost. Efuffyone close to a window please keep an eye out fur da hoomins. We'z gonna fly a spiral course working outward from where eey was, so we should find dem." It's only 4 of 5 minutes later when Zick get all excited and starts flapping for attention. Francesca sees where he's pointing. "Fangu, Zick, it look you found dem. Let me call da station - Rothera Station, Roadcat Chopper 1 has found your missing scientists. Dey turned right when dey should have turned left at dat last ice ridge. Dey's about 15 miles eastish from where ey is supposed to be, I'z got a copter full of passengers, but I can drop dem a 'mergency porter if you fink dat it won't freak dem out. An da porter will automatically return to my copter when dey arrive back at your station." "Jolly good, Roadcat 1! Please do so. You and your group are always welcome here." "Roger, Rothera. 'Porter has been dropped, an dey's starting to go through. Next time meebe keep dem science types on a shorter leash! Roadcat 1 clear." "OK, kitties, let's get back to our tour. Hows about we go party for a bit wif da kitties at da Amundson Scott South Pole station, den when we'z done go visit with da Russian kitties at Vostok Station?" |

The Amud=ndson Scott kitties called Ranger and expressed an interest in goint to Vostok Station with us. We'll head for the South Pole Station and pick up their kitties, then we'll land at Vostok Station. [A few minutes later the catacopter touches down on the helipad at Amundson-Scott South Pole Station. As soon as the skids touch down a dozen kitties wearing heavy parkas dash from the nearby equipment hangar to the catacopter. They climb inside and make themeselves comfortable. A very large Maine Coon Cat starts meowing on the intercom.] "Hihi, efurry kitty! Hey dere, Zoot and Zack, long time not see! I'z Homer, and I'z da cat ambassador of da Amundson Scott Station. We bringed along a couple cases of nip vodka fur our comrades at Vostok. Anyone care for a nip before we get dere?" |

Since it's so far away, she engages the teleporter and the copter emefges from a shimmering wall of light just a mile or so from Vostok Station. The radio operator at Vostok welcomes the copter and clears them to land. Francesca sets the chopper down next to a maintenance shed.

I'z sure you know that it is ultra-pure, probably the purest, cleanest water on the planet. I am pleased to announce that we haf a very nice submarine, with two trained captains, Polina and Marina. And both of them are on duty today. Which of you would like to take da submarine tour, and which of you would like to enjoy da banquet first?" |

Polly being bird brained, scoots to the banquet and loads a plate with dried coconut, some grapes, and a few nuts and comes back to say "Dankeshan Sergi!'. Wrapping her goodies in a napkin, she joins the line for the submarine. She afterall has to eat her weight pretty much per day. Meantime Clem and Cleo sort of hang back. They are not sure about going *gulp* under water! Pit2nya sees this and comes over to soothe them. Meantime, Cash reaches into his backpack and pulls out waterproof booties. He really HATES getting wet toes. He figures the sub will be dry but he's hedging his bets. He offers Starr a selection in several colors she might like. All halts though as Iowna bashfully raises a paw and asks 'Is there a little ladies room? I'z been runnin frum place to place fur a lot of time anna need to (um) powder mai nose'... Reminded of this, a fairly large line falls behind Iowna.... -- |
