Wait, there is no day. So BOB, a cross-dressing Republican, and BROWN, a Christian fundamentalist Democrat, are talking nonsense instead. \begin{dialogue}{Bob} That means that someone sabotaged the unit and killed the President!

FRED is with them. TOM is at another console slightly further away. \begin{dialogue}{John} The planetoid seems to have a thin crust covering a nickel-iron core. Could have been an Earth-like planet at one time. \end{dialogue} \begin{dialogue}{Mark} We're coming up on the radio source now. \end{dialogue} Brown walks in and goes to a console. He has a PARROT on his shoulder. The Parrot has an air of quiet insouciance. \begin{dialogue}{Fred} Switch the visual to main screen so we can get a good look.\end{dialogue} They look up at the main screen. \begin{dialogue}[to John and Mark]{Fred} Lock on to that. \dialbreak[to Tom]{Fred} Establish planetary orbit. \end{dialogue} \intextslug[day]{in or out} Apparently some people do this. \intercut \extintslug[night]{out or in} Or even this. \extslug[day or nite]{NO WARRANTY -- EXPRESS OR IMPLIED} \pov\ I made the slugline DAY/NIGHT optional 'cause in space no-one can tell the time.
