Shane Gooseman
Glorified security guards.
Zachary Foxx
It's not my idea Goose, so quit complaining to me!
Shane Gooseman
Playing nurse maid to a bunch of pictures. Phuh.
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
That bunch of pictures happens to be treasures of art from a hundred different cultures. Both human and alien, and priceless.
Niko
Doc's right. This is an opportunity to generate a lot of good will among allied planets.
Zachary Foxx
But it's also an opportunity for big trouble, and we're supposed to make sure that trouble doesn't happen!
Niko
It'll do you good to see an art show, Goose.
Shane Gooseman
I'd rather be chasing smugglers.
the Tower
We have you on scans, Ranger 1. Tube 3.
Niko
That landscape's from Nebraska.
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
The planet or the state?
Niko
The planet, Doc. And that. Hm... that looks like a Zeotrope mobile.
Shane Gooseman
What's that thing?
Niko
This is a sensation doll. It was made by one of the Poe Mutants.
Shane Gooseman
Edgar Allan Poe mutants it looks like.
Zachary Foxx
Don't joke, my friend. Once upon a time the Poe Mutants controlled a vast empire.
Shane Gooseman
For a bunch of big shots they sure made lousy art.
Niko
It's not what you can see that's so special about this object. You're supposed to touch it.
Shane Gooseman
That's a good one. You're supposed to touch it and it's stuck under a foot of glass.
Niko
You bet it is. Because unless you're a Poe that thing is deadly. It's a kind of battery. A storage battery. It holds one million emotions. A hundred thousand kinds of fear, a quarter million varieties of anger, jealousy, love... One touch and...
Shane Gooseman
Haha! The emotional electric chair. Well, I guess we don't have to worry about somebody stealing this thing.
Zachary Foxx
Maybe not.
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
This sounds funny, I know, but it looks almost alive!
Niko
In a way it is. It literally contains the personality of its maker.
Zachary Foxx
Let's make the rounds.
Miller
Now what time is it?
Sanderson
Relax, we've got three more hours till everybody clears out and we can go to work. --- Looks good, I'll go first.
Miller
I thought I was gonna go crazy cooped up inside that thing.
Sanderson
Hey, you'll forget all about that once you start counting your money. So let's get this business over with.
Miller
Hey! What's going on?
Sanderson
Let's get out of here!
some Ranger
Stay right where you are. If you move, you're a memory!
some Ranger
Ugh.
Sanderson
Uagh!
some Ranger
Hugh!
the Curator
Be careful with those pieces. Would you look at this mess! How could you let this happen?
Zachary Foxx
Take it easy, curator.
Shane Gooseman
I've ordered a full station search.
Zachary Foxx
Good. Find any identification on the thief your men stopped?
some Ranger
None, but we're running a few checks right now.
Zachary Foxx
So are we.
Niko
That's how they got in here!
Shane Gooseman
They just sat all scrunched up in here until everybody was gone.
the Curator
Get down from there. Are you loony?
Zachary Foxx
Curator, when was this web and spider installed?
the Curator
Why, just yesterday morning. Early shuttle brought it in from Mars. The artist lives there in a colony called New Pigale. A woman named Arizona Magee.
Niko
I've heard of her.
the Curator
Everybody has heard about Arizona. She's fabulously famous. And she couldn't possibly have had anything to do with this. That is out of the ...
some Ranger
Emergency. Area seven.
Zachary Foxx
Come on. Sounds like somebody's trying to leave.
Shane Gooseman
Wait for me!
some Ranger
He's escaped.
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
He's gone! You let him go?
some Ranger
Listen guys. I wasn't armed and he was. I don't get paid enough to be a hero!
Zachary Foxx
Galaxy Rangers, we're going to Mars. I think we should have a little talk with this Arizona Magee.
Shane Gooseman
Arizona Magee, sensation dolls, spiders from Mars, now we're cooking!
Miller
Whaa! Eh, you scared me Mr. Subtract. I wasn't expecting you to be here.
Jackie Subtract
Oh. We've been waiting quite a while. Hope you don't mind. I gave my little friend some cake you had lying around.
Miller
No, of course I don't mind. Well, I got it.
Jackie Subtract
Yeah, so I heard. Everybody's heard. What happened Miller? You were both supposed to be back here by the time they even found out the sensation doll was missing!
Miller
I don't know what happened, Mr Subtract. Everything was great until we grabbed the thing. And then, they got Sanderson.
Jackie Subtract
Yeah, they did. But at least I got the doll. Miller. Kindly open that suitcase, will you. I want to see what this thing looks like.
Miller
So, there it is, Mr. Subtract. Eh, eh do you have the money with you? I'm really gonna need it fast.
Jackie Subtract
Easy, Crumb.
Miller
Mr. Subtract, eh, my money! Hey, hey what're you doing? Oh no, no! Hey, no no! Stop! No no no no AAAARRR!
Shane Gooseman
What's the story here? Are the bugs taking over? Call the exterminator.
Niko
Earth pests that stowed away on colonists' ships have found Mars much to their liking.
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
Well, I guess we know where the artist gets her inspiration.
Zachary Foxx
Arizona? Arizona Magee?
Arizona Magee
Miller? Is that you? Where've you been? Who are you? I thought you were Miller.
Niko
Miller?
Arizona Magee
My helper. You don't think I lug all this heavy metal around by myself, do you? Are you people art collectors? Do you wanna buy somethin'?
Zachary Foxx
This helper of yours, Miller, by any chance, did he recently deliver a sculpture of yours to the show on BETA space station?
Arizona Magee
Yes, just yesterday. What's the problem?
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
Do you happen to know where Mr Miller lives?
Arizona Magee
You're police, aren't you? What's a Galaxy Ranger?
Zachary Foxx
Would you please come along with us and show us where Miller lives? We'll explain everything along the way.
Shane Gooseman
Do you sell much of this stuff?
Arizona Magee
Believe it or not: Yes! Heee, he, he, he! --- I don't understand. You think he hid inside my sculpture?
Miller
{\em Sob, sob.
If I get my hands on Subtract for doing this to me I'll... I'm so mad, I could tear him to pieces. I'm sorry I ever got involved in this thing! Why did I let Jacky Subtract talk me into it? I'm sorry, Arizona. I'm really sorry.
Niko
He touched the doll.
Zachary Foxx
Sounds as if he was forced to.
Shane Gooseman
The emotional electric chair.
Miller
You all really hate me! Well, I hate you too! Ugh.
Zachary Foxx
This Jacky Subtract who talked you into this, does he have the sensation doll now?
Miller
If I tell you where he is will you promise not to hurt me?
Niko
We won't.
Miller
Jacky lives over in the lowest east side. Everybody knows Jacky Subtract over there. Now please go away.
some Alien
You want what?
Niko
A mars ruby.
some Alien
Go to a jewel store, don't come to me.
Niko
The ruby I want isn't for sale. The owner wants to keep it, but I want it.
some Alien
You want somebody to steal this ruby for you, is that it? You don't want me, lady, you want Jacky Subtract. Pandemonium Street Number 301.
Jackie Subtract
Good little bug.
some Alien
Hey, boss, this lady wants to talk to you.
Jackie Subtract
Now, what's all this I hear about a ruby that's not for sale?
Niko
I'm not interested in the ruby, Mr. Subtract. What really interests me is a little doll.
Jackie Subtract
Ah, I see. --- I need some help in here!
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
You rang? --- Neat trick!
Niko
If he leaves the building by the back exit he'll run right into Goose.
Jackie Subtract
Uh! Crumb! Crumb! Here, Crumb! Come to daddy!
Shane Gooseman
Where's the doll, creep?
Jackie Subtract
Doll? I don't play with dolls. Can't you see I'm a grown man?
Shane Gooseman
Don't get funny with me, pal. I'm warning you.
Jackie Subtract
Crumb, you naughty girl. Where have you been?
Shane Gooseman
I don't believe this, a trained roach! This job just keeps getting better!
Jackie Subtract
Crumb! Attack!
Shane Gooseman
Yuck!
Jackie Subtract
Don't hurt Crumb. Have a heart. Leave my pet alone.
Shane Gooseman
Tell me where the doll is or I'll squash this bug.
Jackie Subtract
Alright. Just don't hurt it!
Shane Gooseman
Where is it?
Jackie Subtract
It's on its way to earth. There is a guy there, who collects statues and sculptures and stuff for this weird garden that he's got. I had the doll stolen for him.
Shane Gooseman
Where on earth?
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
I ran a check on this collector. He is an art lover alright. What he loves, he buys. And what he can't buy, he steals and smuggles from Tortuna to New Jersey.
Shane Gooseman
And he lives in New Jersey?
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
He owns New Jersey!
the Tower
Roger Ranger 1, you are cleared for landing.
Brappo
Now, it's so beautifully ugly, isn't it, Peters?
Peters
If you say so, Sir.
Brappo
This sun comes out at night, doesn't it Peters?
Peters
If you say so, Sir. Sir, apparently some intruders have entered the property.
Brappo
Oh, I wonder if they've come for you. --- I don't think we need worry too much about intruders.
Niko
This garden - something tells me it's not as innocent as it looks.
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
Now I know why we haven't seen any guards around here! Whaa!
Niko
I think there is the man to see.
Zachary Foxx
Be careful. --- The fountain! Blast the fountain!
Brappo
My fire-fountain! Those philistines have destroyed my fire-fountain!
Peters
If you say so, Sir.
Niko
There's something very familiar about the collector.
Zachary Foxx
You two deal with the collector, we'll take care of ourselves.
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
Got an idea. We have to move together, O.K.? Drag this thing towards that tree over there.
Brappo
Eieigh.
Niko
Goose, it's Brappo, and he's got the doll. Remember, don't touch it.
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
Worse than gum my boot. --- I'm billing him for dry cleaning.
Shane Gooseman
You caused us a lot of trouble, Brappo. Now I'm gonna cause you some.
Brappo
Peters, get rid of him.
Shane Gooseman
Grrrr!
Peters
I quit, Sir.
Brappo
Peters! Alright. How much do you want?
Shane Gooseman
Don't make me mad. We're here for the doll.
Brappo
You can't have it, it's mine! Aargh!
Shane Gooseman
Niko! No!
Zachary Foxx
Goose!
Niko
Don't touch him!
Brappo
Mommyy!
Niko
Goose, can you hear me?
Zachary Foxx
Goose?
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
How do you feel, Gooseman?
Shane Gooseman
Feel? I feel... wonderful. Go to sleep my masterpiece, you're safe now.
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
What happened? Why didn't he...?
Niko
He did. Goose absorbed everything that the sensation doll had to give. One million emotions. But Goose's bio-defences protected him, in a very special way.
Zachary Foxx
Do you remember what Niko said? That doll contains the lifeforce of its maker. And Goose absorbed that lifeforce. He became that Poe mutant artist.
Walter 'Doc' Hartford
Goose? An artist? Then I'm Santa Claus! One million emotions. What was it like? Come on!
Shane Gooseman
What was what like? I didn't feel a thing, I'm telling you. You know us supertroopers, Doc. We get angry and we get mad. And that's about as emotional as we ever get! Right?
