1 {scene: The bridge of the ship Legacy}
1 Paris: The football match is starting. Where are they? They wanted to watch this.
1 [sound]: RIIING!
1 Quercus: I'll get the phone.
2 Spanners: Well whatever's happened to them, it can't be as bad as last time.
3 Quercus: That was the hospital. Iki Piki and Serron have accidentally had their vital organs removed. Again.
4 Paris: You really do underestimate them, Spanners.

I bet nobody else in the history of the world has ever had cause to utter the word sequence, "accidentally had their vital organs removed. Again."

2018-10-12 Rerun commentary: Of course the futuristic space phone has a "Riiing!" sound.

Years ago, before I ever had a mobile phone but when smartphones were starting to take off, I thought how cool it would be to have one of these futuristic modern phones, but to use the classic analogue landline ringing sound as the ring tone.

But now it seems every second person whose phone I hear ringing in public has exactly that.

So instead my ringtone is the chorus of "Dagger of the Mind" by Five Year Mission.
