Galaxy Gala Guardians Save the Party

Ayaki

Seventeen potential threats identified. Why do I feel like we're celebrating too early?

Kamie the Angel

Because you calculate joy instead of feeling it. Try the nebula champagne - it literally tastes like starlight.

Roy Hazama

These diplomats keep checking their holo-watches. Either the speeches are running late, or something's about to go sideways.

Roy Hazama

Also, this shrimp is incredible - want some before everything explodes?

Ayaki

Energy signatures spiking - someone brought a phase bomb to a peace treaty.

Kamie the Angel

How wonderfully predictable. Shall we save their precious party or let natural selection handle diplomacy?

Roy Hazama

We save the party, obviously. But first - emergency protocol: eat the expensive shrimp before protocol demands we act heroic.

Ayaki

Your tactical priorities need work, but your timing is impeccable.

Kamie the Angel

This is why I love working with mortals - you understand that imminent doom pairs perfectly with hors d'oeuvres.

Ayaki

Phase bomb's keyed to the keynote speech—countdown at two minutes forty-seven!

Kamie the Angel

Keeping diplomats dancing—no panic until the violins swell.

Roy Hazama

Bet I can ricochet a pulse round off that chandelier and vent it into space before crescendo hits.

Ayaki

Bomb's synched to his vocal harmonics—speaks, it explodes. Need a frequency override...

Ayaki

Kamie, whatever you do, keep him from talking until I disarm this.

Kamie the Angel

Ambassador, darling, let's share this dance in blessed silence—my gift to prevent diplomatic sore throats.

Ambassador

Mmph? But my speech—

Kamie the Angel

The universe speaks through movement tonight, not words.

Roy Hazama

Three bounces—chandelier to window frame to emergency airlock—then whoosh, bomb goes to space.

Roy Hazama

Ayaki, on my mark—Kamie, make him moonwalk or something when I fire!

Ayaki

Frequency disarmed—bomb's neutralized.

Ayaki

Though apparently we're still doing this the dramatic way.

Ambassador

Magnificent dance, angel! Though I seem to have forgotten my entire speech—

Kamie the Angel

Sometimes the best diplomacy happens in comfortable silence, Ambassador.

Roy Hazama

To successful non-explosive celebrations—and to the ambassador who gave the shortest speech in galactic history.
