2›[LK10 The cork is surprisingly cork-like in appearance.›Iggy: How very unusual. A synthetic rubber cork made of real synthetic rubber.›2›Iggy: Unless I miss my guess, we're looking at the Giant Red Herring of Orrin IV. This particular specimen has seen better days. It's half-rotted and more than half-buried in that heap of trash to the east.›[LK10 The herring is red, and huge: at least ten feet long, although most of it is buried under a ton of garbage to the east.›2›Iggy: The lifepod looks just the way you left it: utterly ruined. You've excelled yourself, Master [AX20. There are dents in the airfoil, the heat shields are burned up, the shell is crumpled and all the external couplings are broken.›Iggy: I don't think Mr. Lifepod is as happy to see you, as you are to see him. Your rather abrupt landing didn't agree with him. The only thing left in one piece is the hatch.›3›Iggy: The pod's internal lights seem to be working. But everything else is a fused mass of siliform plastic. It's nothing more than a burnt out shell. Now we'll have to find another way off this planet.›Iggy: Look at the mess you've made of this pod. Go on, look at it! You can't tell a Primary Capacitor from a Stabilizer Influx Delineator. Everything's burned. I hope you've lined up alternative transportation.›Iggy: The interior of the lifepod is a scorched ruin. Everything's melted into the floor. I told you not to let your insurance premiums lapse! This thing will never fly again! How are we going to leave the planet now?›
