"Don't worry, Lady. I'm alright. Let's go on with the plan." Sid answered, a wicked grin curling his beautiful lips. Lady grabbed his free hand, while Brynn put her hands on his shoulders. Johanna and Bugdog nodded and both began keyboarding.

The monitor began to return strings of data so fast that it was impossible to read them. Sid's eyes began to loose focus and when the screen became black, they looked like blue cold diamonds. Lady and Brynn sighed.

Jar Jar was wandering in his(its) virtual world. It was a good thing this "virtuality" because all of his(its) sputtering could have damaged the expensive components of ILM's computers. He(it) was living again the scene of his(its) rescue by the mighty Jedi knight, when he(it) heard a noise coming from behind. He(it) caught a glimpse of purple, then everything went black when he(it) found him(it)self under one leg of the huge transport headed his(its) way. A wicked giggle was the last thing he(it) heard.

The night-shift technician immediatly spotted the peak in the computer activity. He started the diagnostic routine, not expecting a real problem of data loss. The company was spending so much in real-time troubleshooting that the hypothesis of loosing something was just a remote possibility. His confidence in the system was sorely tried as his computer showed a difference between the situation before and after the peak. He compared folders, files size and everything he could think of. The result lead to an unbelievable conclusion: all the files referring to Jar Jar Binx, including the original project, the rendering features, the voice, the new movements for the second episode of the saga had vanished from the computer. Unable to contain the trembling of his hands, he took the phone to wake out his superior.

Sid slowly returned to consciousness. He stretched like a Siamese cat, then took the plug out of his arm. He grabbed the glass Lady was offering him, using its structure to rebuild himself.

"Mission accomplished." he said with a cocky grin on his handsome face. All the girls smiled with him, while they helped him on his feet. He didn't need their help, he felt wonderful, but he wasn't willing to renounce to be petted, taken care of and everything else they may have in mind for him. He quickly dressed and all the group headed to the Tavern to spread the news.
