Shockprowl represents the divided halves of his own psyche. *Hugs knees and dribbles* |

Although, as sometimes second-in-commands, Prowl and Starscream are mortal enemies also...
The enemy of my enemy is my friend...?

Right.
SAY to Shockwave, "That Starscream, what a twat. Do you fancy helping me get shot of his henchman? He's in your pub over the road."

You stand in silence not wanting to move, there's something ominous about this robot, but you can't quite put your finger on, and yet you can't quite bring yourself to leave its presence. Somewhere in your lost memories you know that this meeting has been something you've longed for.
After what seems too long a time, the robot's head cocks suddenly to one side. A voice speaks, not to you directly as if to itself.
"Illogical. Given input parameters matching so strongly and history, can not compute best outcome. A strange game. The only winning move is not to play."
It then proceeds to leave through the main entrance before turning into what appears to be a giant space gun and somehow flying away despite having no discernible means of propulsion.

Woaw. Got a really sense of just how menacing and unnerving Shockwave could be there...
Ok. I think we need to take the bull by the horns and speak to Kasparov.
SAY to Kasparov, "Mr Kasparov, I'm a big fan, I've read all your books and follow your games on-line. I think you're the greatest chess player ever, even greater than Bobby Fischer."

"That contemptible svin'ya! Did you hear what he said about me? Well, it's ok. I won't stoop to his level. Indeed he was the greatest of his time. But time's change, eh komrade?!"
He pats you on the shoulder with a hearty smile.

SAY to Kasparov, "They sure do, Mr Kasparov! What he said about was highly disrespectful. I would have loved to see him put his money where his mouth was and play you in 1992, and not Spassky! I think you'd have beaten him!"

Ok, so when Shockprowl's finished fawning over this chap...
WIGGLE eyebrows.
SAY, "Now then, to business."
SHOW Kasparov the note.
ASK, "Can you help?"

Could do. We may need to beat him to prove we're who we are and get him on side?
I'm just going back to the note - it said find Mr K as he'll help, so he needs to know who we are under the sombrero.

Well the only place we haven't been is down the dark alley, so presumably he lives down there. But we need shot of Lobo before we can go down there.
And a Red Dwarf mis-quote... deliberate? a clue? or a mistake? Dunno.

"Horsey to Queen bish three" is a legal move. It's old descriptive notation, but a legal opening move. Not a very common opening move though.

Right then, gentlemen. We need to find a way to get a bounty hunter out of a bar.

First thing to do is check around to see if anything's changed. Now that we've accomplished the quest of the conference centre, when we go outside time may have passed, it may be evening and people may have come and gone. Maybe Lobo was just there to stop us going down the alley before we'd met Kasparov. Maybe he's gone of his own accord!
(...he said hopefully.)

GO Plaza.
LOOK
I reckon we just need to tie up the dolphin business. We had hints that Lobo needed a distraction, and we've created one that is relevant to him. We know that we are more important to him than the dolphin is, so perhaps we just need to get him interested in the puppet show without seeing us so we can slip down the alley unnoticed.
Oh wait - we're in disguise now. I don't think we were before as we'd been warned about combusting because of the heat. That might make a difference.

Really? I thought we were still in disguise. Didn't Lobo mock our disguise when he killed us one time?

We've been playing this game five months now and we're only 30% complete by the points count. I bet Stom's really regretting that 250 total now...
That reminds me, weren't we only one round away from finishing the picture game? That needs finishing. You were about to win that.
