Jumpy enough as it is, one can only imagine Grub's reflexive reaction when Trouble bursts through the doors and makes his noisy entrance. The younger Kelp brother nearly jumps clear out of his skin, leaping into Holly's arms with a startled screech.
"Trub?" he blinks and rubs his eyes, then double checks to make sure his eyes aren't deceiving him, "He's alive! My brother is alive!"
He hugs Holly as he shouts these words, then jumps off of her and runs to greet his brother, tackling him in a clingy hug to end all hugs. He backs away as Trouble speaks of his faulty communicator.
"I wouldn't know, brother," he shrugs, "You should ask Foaly. Maybe by now he's figured out where the malfunction occurred. Did you transport that miserable troll yet?"

"Welcome back Trouble. How come you didn't answer on the intercom? And where were you? You were supposed to bring a recon team in!"
Holly glares at Trouble with a disgusted look on her face, do to being ticked off. Then Holly punches Trouble in the face.
"That had to hurt! You males are never trustworthy!"

Grub stares in shock as Holly unexpectedly attacks his older brother. At first, he is stunned speechless and immobilized, but when he recovers, he's just a little bit upset.
"You can't do that to my brother!" he tries to sound tough, but his voice cracks as he dares to put himself between Trouble and Holly, "That was completely out of line, Captain. You apologize to my brother this instant or I'll tell my Mommy on you!"

"Alright Trouble, I'm sorry, I lost my temper and I wanna apologize. It's just that Chix could have gotten killed. Forgive me?"
Holly holds out her hand to take Trouble's.

No communication from Foaly usually means he is hard at work and he is. He has been since all communicatons with Trouble had been lost. When the green light finally kicks back on for the captain's system, the centaur heaves a sigh of relief and presses the intercom button to Trouble's channel.
"Foaly to Captain Kelp. Come in," he speaks in a test-run type voice, "Testing...1, 2, 3. Do you read me, Captain? Over."

Trouble rubs his face where Holly had punched him.
"You'd better be sorry, Yes I copy Foaly. Do we have a situation? Or is this a false call?"

"Well, this was originally intended to be only a test call," Foaly replies, "But since you asked, there's still an unconscious troll blocking the roads in the south-southwest sector. If you're up for it, I need you to take Retrieval One up there and move that beast before it wakes up and we have more casualties on our hands."

"Alright, I'll get a retrival team out there. Initiate gnome combat moving statistics!"
Trouble heads out of the lounge, he looks back at Holly, thinking about how much he likes her. He ignores that feeling, and rushes out knocking over another warlock medic.
"Hey bozo! Watch where your going! This is expensive and fragile stuff!"
"Sorry! And watch who your calling bozo!"

"Wait for me, brother!" Grub calls, hurrying after Trouble and...knocking the medic over a second time in as many minutes, "Oops...sorry."
He shrinks back from the glowering warlock and flees after his brother, finally catching up with him and matching his steps stride for stride.
"So...where are we going to transport the troll?" he asks at length, his voice quivering ever so slightly, "Foaly and Holly think someone was behind it getting into Haven in the first place."

"Foaly, get a transport out to assist Grub and Trouble. You never know when that troll is gonna wake up."
Holly rushes past the warlock medic, as he complains about his job.
"They don't pay me enough for this job. Those LEP bozos keep knocking my stuff everywhere!"

"Already done, sweetheart," Foaly chuckles, "I'm way ahead of you guys today--on the up-and-up. It's amazing what a little alfalfa tea can do for a centaur."
He smirks as the audio in Holly's helmet picks up the grumbling lament of the warlock medic. Those guys always seem to be in the wrong place at the wrong time--particularly the times when LEP officers are in a hurry.

"Don't call me sweet heart! Your pushing me Foaly, you don't wanna do that, if you do I'll wring that little donkey neck of yours!"
Holly is very ticked off at what Foaly had said, but finally she gets over it, and maintains her cool. Which at sometimes is hard for Holly to maintain.

"Easy, Holly, I call you that a lot," Foaly answers, sounding hurt, "It doesn't mean anything. You never raised a stink about it before. What's up with you? Are you suffering from mood swings?"
He drums the fingers of one hand on the control panel while pushing his glasses up on his nose with the other. He punches a random button, activating a little elevator music to lighten his mood.

"I'm fine. I just lost it a little bit back there, I'll be fine. I hope so.
Holly is beginning to relize Foaly is right, there is something wrong with her. Unfourtunatly Opal had injected her with a rage serum, that will make an LEP officer turn on his or her comrades.
"Foaly, I think there's something wrong with me."

"I think you've been hanging around Grub too long," Foaly mutters, "Maybe you should take a break, Holly. Let the brothers take care of the troll. You've been under a lot of stress in the past couple of hours, y'know."
