	In Response To: Gilbert and Sullivan were at Tau Ceti (Alfred Mordeir) : Some recent talk about "Marathon to Waterloo" really got my noodle : working. I thought, "Now hey, a comedic opera might just be the : format that Marathon's been waiting for". So to get the Ball roleing : I wrote this little peice. Enjoy : Modern Mark IV Battleroid : (Sung to the tune of “Modern Major General” By Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan) : I am the very model of a modern Mark IV Battleroid : My duty lies in takeing care of space ships made from planetoids : I know the Pfhorish Leaders and quote the fights historical : From Marathon to Marathon in order catagorical : I’m very well aquanted too with beings non-terrestrial : I’ve taken out all creature both reptilian and Eqestrial : I’m fluent in the languages both of the S’pht and of the Pfhor : And I’ve blow them up with large amount of gratuitous blood and gore : I’m well adept at dealing with inteligence artificial : Though their orders are rarely Democratic or Judicial : I often blast through space in hijacked Phorish Battle ships : And I do the bidding of an AI who’s on some kind of ego trip : My fighting style is superb, though improvised and unrehersed : My only goal is to escape the closing of the Universe. : But still in fighting battles in foregen worlds and asteroids : I am the very model of a modern Mark IV Battleroid. Very nice. Hopefully people here have heard the original Gilbert and Sullivan rendition so your efforts won't be wasted. Many thanks. Cheers Hamish
