POLICE QUEST: ANOTHER GRAVEYARD SHIFT

Sonny Bonds was in his patrol car travelling east on ROCK when his radio BOUNCED: 83-32, respond Code 3 to a 42 in progress at the corner of DROID and PICTURE.” He turned on the siren and hit the gas. He knew what this was: someone was SHAKING a CHEETAH.

He arrived at the location and recognized the suspect immediately. It was "BLAM-BLAM" SAM, ASSASSIN FOR HIRE, sometimes known as The ADVENTURER or SALTY SAM the PENGUIN. His rap sheet was a mile long. Sonny cautiously approached him and said “HOLY WAR ELEPHANTS ON TOAST, BATMAN!” The suspect ran and got into his car: a souped up BILL THOMAS CHEETAH. Sonny go back into his car and gave chase. Within minutes the suspect’s car crashed into YE OLDE FISHIN' HOLE AN' BAIT STORE, A-YUP. Sonny pulled the suspect out of the car and arrested him. “As the old saying goes:” he said “There Ain't No Cheater, Like A Cheetah Cheater.”

THE END

Sonny has to get that radio properly secured. Salty Sam the Penguin?

All right, I just improvised one this morning (after sleeping in for nearly 30 minutes -- don't ask...) And no peeking!

Space Quest XIII: Not Those Guys Again!

One fine morning, the alarm [ANIMAL] [VERB} and woke up Roger Wilco, our favourite space janitor.

He yawned, went to the bathroom, peered into the mirror. Yep, still his [PART OF FACE], all right. What did he drink at the Captain's Birthday Party last night? Oh -- two pints of [ALCOHOLIC DRINK TYPICALLY SERVED IN TINY GLASSES], that's right.

His head ached, his earlobes ached, and against all logic, his [PART OF FACE] ached.

Maybe if he shaved? And brushed his teeth?

Put toothpaste on [NOUN]. Brush, brush. Rinse, spit. What's next? He lathered up his face and began shaving, concentrating hard on every bit.

The PA system crackled into life. "Attention all [PART OF AN ARM]! Code [COLOUR]! We have a transmission coming i--"

"Not today." Roger turned on the tiny bathroom radio. [CLASSIC SONG BY LED ZEPPELIN WHICH IS NOT "STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN"] came on, shocking the life out of him, and he nicked himself. "Damn!" He grabbed a piece of space toilet paper, dabbed at his [PART OF FACE]. Meanwhile the radio burbled on:

[LYRICS FROM THE ABOVE SONG - AS MANY AS YOU LIKE!]

Roger swore and turned the radio off.

The PA kept going: "...And that is why planet shore leave is cancelled. I repeat: the ship is overwhelmed by Sariens. Report to escape hatch immediately. And worst of all, the [MORNING DRINK] machine is offline..."

There was a crackle, a thump, and the PA went dead. Then someone started thumping on his [NOUN]. "Roger Wilco! We know you're in there! Sludge Vohaul wants to see you!"

All right, so how was he going to get out of this one? Maybe start by counting his posessions. One: toothbrush. No help there. He put it down [ADVERB].

Two: his space underpants. He put them down as a "maybe".

Three: tiny mirror and shaving razor. That seemed to be it.

Perhaps he could improvise? Use the mirror as a shield and the razor as a sword?
