The TARDIS Venture, Part 4

Following our last report Kan Konstruction was contacted by one of our associates, who was worried by the initial appearance of our TARDIS interior. He believed that it had a certain 'Dalek' like appearance to it, and thought we ought to pursue the matter. At first I thought of contacting the Savage - the Time Lord who issued Kan Konstructions with the contract - but I thought he might be quite busy and probably doesn't have the time to be pestered with petty concerns. As such, I simply contacted the Dalek Empire. Kan Konstructions is, of course, a neutral shipbuilder and has no allegiance to any galactic power. They sent us Clive, who put our mind at rest:


"THIS IS OF AN INFERIOR DESIGN. IT IS NOT OF DALEK ORIGIN!"

We thanked Clive, who responded by declaring he would exterminate all of us. When I moved to simply throw him into a wall, he made his escape by some previously unmentioned plot-device.

Our workers got back to business. The next part of the TARDIS Venture involves putting together the control-panel itself. Apparently it's just the outer casing, not the internal systems or electronics, as we mere beings wouldn't understand the first thing about such advanced technology. I'm inclined to agree, I've been known to wipe entire computer-drives when all I meant to do was fix the modem, I probably shouldn't mess with things that have the potential to create gods or wipe out time itself.



As you can see, the men are more than willing to utilise dangerous heavy tools to get the work done. Here you can see them using a pair of potentially lethal tweezers to cut the materials into the required size. But that's nothing compared to what sort of dangerous work some of them are willing to do:



Heavy objects to be lifted onto high heights while standing on a small platform? That guy at the top must be brave or foolish, surely? Of course not! Kan Konstructions is proud to boast the highest investment in safety gear, and the guy apparently one misstep away from certain death is in fact more secure than the gentlemen on the ground. How? White Tack!

You see, his feet are firmly secured to the platform with wonderful plasticine-like adhesive. The platform could rotate 180 degrees and all he would suffer is the blood rushing to his little plastic head. It is truly a remarkable piece of technology - the packaging even declares it has "Thousands of Uses." I admit I can't think of much beyond 'sticking something to something else', but hey, it keeps my men safe!

We're nearly done for the day, but the last part is the hardest. The men have to slot the massive control panels into place on the central structure. This requires pulling the pieces up to the top and slotting the very tiny tabs through the very tiny slots. This required so much time and effort there was little room for error, and I was forced to put the camera away and let the men get to work without distraction. All we have is the early stage as they hauled the control panels up.



Again, note the use of white tack. Truly magnificent stuff.

The last, and by comparison easier part to do is to surround the console with two long panels. This is such a simple job it takes only a few moments, and in doing so we have completed stage 6 of the interior. While we had a bit of a delay this weekend, we are currently on course to complete the entire project on the 29th October, which is well in advance of our 5th November deadline.
