David Daker: Irongron

Quotes 

• [Irongron and Bloodaxe approach a strange, spherical object, while the other men stay back with the horses] 

  Irongron : A star. A fallen star.

  Bloodaxe : Careful, Captain, looks like the devil's work to me.

  [a door swings open from the side of the sphere and a silver-suited and -helmeted figure steps out] 

  Irongron : A warrior? A warrior from the stars!

  Irongron : [draws his sword]  You've come to challenge me, sky warrior?

  [the alien produces a probe-like device. Its tip glows and it emits a high-pitched whirring noise. Irongron's sword is knocked out of his hand in the blink of an eye] 

  Bloodaxe : Flee for your life, Captain!

  Irongron : [steadies Bloodaxe]  What creature is this?

  Bloodaxe : 'Tis a devil from *Hell*!

  [the alien holsters its weapon, then adjusts a device on his hip, making strange electronic noises. It appears to be a translating device as next-] 

  Linx : Peace. Fear not. I shall not harm you.

  Irongron : It speaks. Who are you? Where do you come from?

  Linx : I am a Sontaran officer. My name is Linx.

  Bloodaxe : I say he's a Saracen. I have heard tales of his Eastern magic.

  [Linx steps forward, plants a pole into the earth, and steps back. He salutes with his right arm at his chest and two pennants burst out from the pole in immediate response, white with a circled S in black on each] 

  Linx : [an eerie Sontaran anthem plays]  By virtue of my authority as an officer of the Army Space Corps, I hereby claim this planet, its moons and satellites for the greater glory of the Sontaran Empire.

  [Linx then adds his left arm to his chest-salute, completing the ritual annexing the Earth]
