Indiana Chip and Detective Teddy: Chapter Twenty-Seven

\ Chapter 27 \ Meanwhile....



Meanwhile, at the Empires fortress, things are going pretty well, the spaceship was nearing completion, more and more creatures were joining the Empire, helping complete the Rocket T-Rex 2, The Sequel. Inside, the Mighty T-Rex was in the throne room, waiting untill the final moment came, when they would be able to destroy the planet with the superlaser ray gun. A small creature jumped into the room, "The battle station will be operatinable in 36 days, lord Rex," it said. The Rex said, "Well then, make all workers double their efforts." the creature turned and started walking outside, The Rex said "Good work, agent Bogey."


END CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

Notes: The "double their efforts" line was clearly taken from Return of the Jedi. There's been no references to Empire Strikes Back though, either ten year-old me skipped it or we're about to see some strange revelations regarding Chip and his parentage.

One can only assume, should we accept my theory the T-Rex is the true hero, that the events of the past few days has broken his mind (thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of his workers dead through the actions of a few terrorists) and forced him to become the villain everyone claims he is. A tragic tale of a tortured soul. Like Gollum. Or Anakin Skywalker. Or Gandhi.

The 'revelation' that Bogey was a villain should have been kept until later, when it would have been revealed to both the audience and Chip and company. His double-agent role was hardly subtle in the first place, and I like to think ten year-old me was just being self-aware of how silly it was Chip and Ted accepted new characters - including a snake that was a known associate of T-Rex - without question. I'd like to think that...
