Ick Bollard had waited a long time for this. Longer than he could actually
remember. And that was a long time. Ick didn't know how long, because he'd forgotten how to tell the time, but
he knew he'd waited a good while. Ages. Aeons maybe, even though he had no idea how long that was. But it sounded
like it was along time, so he'd go with that.
Ick Bollard had waited aeons for this.
Though he had forgotten almost everything (bar his name), he had woken from Deep Sleep and found a note glued to
his head. He'd pulled it off ( much too fast and taken several layers of skin with it). After shouting obscenities
to no-one in particular about what kind of idiot would glue a note to someone's head, he spent several minutes
getting his eyes to focus and then read it:
ENGAGE AUTOPILOT
Love Ick J xx
Ah….
He stumbled out of his Deep Sleep Tube and gazed around him. Buttons and switches. Lots of them. Lots and lots
of them. Mostly blinking off and on. On and off. But when he looked more closely, he noticed that some of them
had little yellow pieces of paper stuck next to them….
He peered at one.

He moved to another:

On to another:

Ignore, ignore ignore.
