Boss, somebody has hooked on to our zero-translator and is transmitting a coded message

Cut it off, dammit! If someone gets in touch with Star Patrol we're done for !

It's not working! The translator is not responding! They've switched it to automatic! Looks like a priority army code!

Back off !

Let's hope the transmission wasn't sent in full... I bet it's the newcomer! He's young, but we've checked everyone else... Damn! We should've got rid of him right up !!

Everything worked out just fine. The nearest battleship should be a few hours away. . .
