EPISODE 28 – "In the Shadow of Infamy"

Hilltop palm trees sway in a steady breeze as the sun beats down on an idyllic island scene. As small eddies of dust swirl up into the air, a black Humvee, decorated in the typical Sinister style with black highlights and black striping, crests the hill along a dirt track and stops at the summit. Far off in the distance the sea laps the sandy shore, and below the hill, some two miles distant, a natural inlet is surrounded by low buildings.

At the wheel of the Humvee, General Menace switches off the engine. He turns back to speak to his lord and master, sat in the rear seat.

General Menace: Well my Lord, here we are at last. (Doctor Sinister opens the rear door of the vehicle and steps outside. The General joins him – to see that the Doctor is wearing an incredibly loud bright orange Hawaiian shirt. The General shields his eyes from the glare as he fumbles to put his sunglasses on) Erm, nice shirt your Excellency…somewhat different from your normal style?

Doctor Sinister: I thought I would try and blend in with the local inhabitants General.

That’s commendable your Magnificence, but I’m afraid the eyepatch and the robotic arm still kind of give the game away. Me, I just wore my summer battledress.

I thought you might say that General, so look what I had made for me… (The Doctor turns to hide his face from the General as he fumbles with something on his face, and turns back to look at the General once he has finished) Ta-daaaaa!

Oh my…a Hawaiian eyepatch? And…it matches your shirt perfectly…

Great isn’t it! Never let it be said that I can’t go incognito.

No my Lord. It’s kind of fortunate we had our own plane to get us here, one look at you and the authorities might have mistaken you for some kind of deranged lunatic. (Under his breath) Which…of course… you are not…much…

(Completely oblivious) Magnificent view eh General?

Oh yes your Illuminousness – we’ve got a real vantage point over the entire facility.
