Clean up complete, provisions stocked and the team assembled. Patty decided time to get this show on the road if the event wasn't gonna just pass them by. The pickings this time of year would ensure she had enough stock to cover any eventuality. With the 'b' word threatening shortages it was imperative that they go without delay... she hit the button.... "To infinity and beyond"....

Peter got back from Egypt in time to see the Punt and butty fly into the sky! John, Flappy and himself watched it disappear out of sight, nice tan remarked John as they strolled into the bar and ordered from the barthingy. "What happened" said Peter "no idea remarked" John and flappy "we thought the gals were having a party, but clearly they have other plans".....................

John hastily adjusted his ear defenders as the mighty Lister burst into life. "I wish someone would give me some warning before pushing the button" he grumbled. He had been busy in the engine room putting the final touches to the new fuel system on the mighty twin turbocharged monster that lurked in the engine 'ole. "I hope Gazza got his calculations right" he muttered (though in that engine room he could have screamed it at the top of his lungs and no one would hear). All this work he'd put in to keep Peter happy, the punt could now be powered by any commonly available fuels including used chip fat.
With a last fond look round his domain and after giving the new fuel spin filter/preheater a wipe with his bestest wiping cloth. he headed to the bridge to see where the "navigation" department (spit) had aimed them this time
he wondered how his new robot double was coping in the bar ..... the early trials had been difficult due to Gruntfuttocks corroding the speech patterns and giving the machine Tourettes

In the bar John was in trouble Flappy and Peter were watching him as he ran around with his head spinning and smoke coming from his backside! Flappy said "I thought this the Egyptian booze is alright but John seems to be having trouble with it!" Santa let out a chuckle as a few drips started to eat his beard " it has a very nice after flavour" at which point he burped and flames came from his mouth setting fire to John! John looked like the swedish chef on the muppet shot with his hat on fire. Taff trained by Arnie had detected immediately that John was a robot so Flappy and Peter had given him extra strong date palm liquire at about 300% proof to see what it would do...................................

Flppy was intrigued by the effect the 300%proof liquor was having on RoboJohn not to mention the now very moth eaten beard that Big Red was sporting. Flappy thought of how effective it would be as paint stripper so he took a shot glass of the stuff and dripped a little of stuff onto a section of scabby over painted deck. "WOW!!look at that will ya" Flappy exclaimed as there was instant bubbling as the multiple layers of paint just vaporized along with a good layer of heavy rust. Peter swooped in with a bucket of water to slosh over the few drops and explained to Flappy that you had to be careful not to eat right through the plating otherwise they would have to get Metal Lady back in again to weld up the weakened area of plate

Robo John exploded to loud applause, Peter looked at Santa and said "time to catch the punt dont you think" Santa nodded and let out a loud whistle, seconds later the sledge and reindeer were at the bar door ready for the off. The remainder of the gang piled in with supplies and they were off bravely going where others feared to tread.............................

Meanwhile on the punt Patty wondered where they could go...if truth be honest she was getting a bit fed up with the lack of excitement in her life...it seemed ages since they'd had a real adventure. Checking the radar thingy she watched with new found interest as a blip travelled nearer and nearer............

There was a loud "Bang" and the hidden chaingun towers that John had secretly installed disguised as oversized bollards popped up and the menacing nozzles swung in the direction of the oncoming radar target.
John rubbed his hands together, so far the auto "Anti-Santa" system was working fine ...
.... now as long as the IFF system worked (Identify friend or foe)

"Peter" Santa said," we are going in the wrong direction" Peter looked at the screen and replied "we are following Patty and John" "Bugger" exclaimed Santa "we haveny got time to get them we need to do the rescue now otherwise Christmas will be cancelled for millions of kids" The gang looked glum realisation set in and with a sigh they alter course 150 degrees in the opposite direction and engaged the intersteller drive! On the punt Patty piped up John to let him know that the blip had just disappeared completely.....................

They came out inter steller drive and the planet was in front of them Santa was going to give a pep talk, but one look at them and he realised it was going to be a no prisoner straight in through the front doors attack! Seconds later the punt and butty appeared all guns ready, Santa had a tear in his eye which was just as well because it looked like the punt was going to blow the sleigh to pieces!!! Peter flicked the reins and the sleigh launched itself forward at the planet. On board the punt a proper row was going on John wanted to blow the sleigh to pieces and Patty wanted booty, john gave in as Patty held him down with a headlock and body crush!.....................................

Patty having sorted out John felt a tad guilty and left him propped up with a pint of Gruntflocks topped up with Granny Glads cure all. She then transported her best buddy with all her booty on board, unfortunately the transport beam locked in and before u could say Santas Socks the whole lot appeared... Patty quickly helped BB move her acquisitions to their quarters......she could hardly wait to start checking out the treasures.....
