“You couldn't do that again could you Bop?”
“N...n...no.”
“I was joking really. Now we need to think of a way we can discharge or bypass an energy field.”
“Can’t we just throw the smoke canister down the hole?”
“It's protected with the force field. I know what, we’ll link your pulse weapon up to it. It’ll charge your weapon and reduce the field.”
“Why mine?”
“I had the idea.”
“What if I had the idea?”
“You would have as much an idea to bypass an energy field using a pulse weapon and a pair of dog tags as a tagged dog trying to charge a bypass in a field of pulses owned by an electricity company.”
“That might have been a little bit funny if it had not been so contrived. Anyway, we don't use dog tags, we all have bar codes.”
“I keep a set of dog tags on me in case we ever get stuck in the war dimension.” Bip took Bop’s pulse weapon off him, laid it as near to the field as he dared, then breached the gap with dog tags, “Ok, put the canister down the hole.”
“Why me?”
“Because you keep asking ‘Why me?’”
Grumpily Bop pulled the ring on the smoke canister and threw it into the vent leading into the air distrubution system of the listening post, "Chocks away!"
