Jean Hackman approaches the microphone and stands in front of audience/performers at Kelostemy Inn.
Those gathered in the space and those milling outside all hold their collective breath.    As do the sirens.
Jean begins to speak, nervously . .   ...
H:  Yes.. erm thanks  there to ..er . Mike ...  and er ...erm ..   yeah thanks ..       
      Welcome all ..  ta for coming .. .yes  .  .       Good to see all the regulars here.. ermm .. 
      Doc,     Kaizer  too ..    oh and you Koo.. of course  ...  yes       welcome
As Jean continues to stumble on,  Koo and Doc look at each other anxiously.   
Is Hackman going to introduce a session of   Jumpers    ? ..       
Or is she going to preside over . .  ..   ! JUMPERS ! .  .   ..   . ?  
KOO:  turning to Doc     Sorry Doc, I can't bear this.  I'm going outside .. I'll watch from there.  
          Koo rushes out.           Looking on from outside,  Koo's worst fears may soon be realised.
             Silence.              Furtive glances.               Spasmodic twitching of sirens.
