Bill had been wandering the strange corridors for a while now - at least twenty minutes if his watch was right - and he had no idea what was going on. It looked like he was walking around on the set of that Star Trek show Georgie and his mom used to watch, the one with Picard and the robot guy, Data, but that was a TV show and couldn't be real-real like this. He was supposed to be meeting up with Eddie and Ben, not... being wherever he was now!
He'd stopped for a moment to try and work out what he should do next, but then there was a dog growling behind him, and a man's voice! Bill spun round to see who it was, but it was nobody he knew. Shit, he was going to have to speak, too.
"M-muh-my name's B-b-b-," he began, his name stuck on his tongue like always, and he spat out a few more hard consonants before managing "Bill, s-sir."
