Mission control to Mayor Pete: Hey, PC, what the hell are you doing there?
PC: Well, counting down… we are ready to lift off!
MC: But what are you doing? Calling BNN? Break contact with these aliens immediately!
PC: Hey, Tony, it was part of our lift off schedule… So why should we stop and hold it?
MC: On our schedule, we still have to fuel up! 2 Mill i-clocks left…
PC: OK, stand by for some moments, we will try to sputter to gain some time. But please hurry, as we have to catch our slot for our mission to NArS. Agreed?
MC: Agreed. Thanks for your help, have a nice flight!
