Event horizon

"Super?" Amy said worriedly as the black void grew bigger, "What happens if we get sucked into that thing?"

"Initally, spaghettification." The Superintendent replied.

"And that means...?"

"We get turned into thin strips of pasta."

"And after that?"

"No one knows. Because no one's ever survived."

As the black hole grew, The Superintendent's beret was pulled from her head and disappeared into it, letting her dark hair fly free.

"You have a plan, right?" Amy asked.

"Of course. Most of one, anyway. Well, step one."

"What's step one?"

"Don't get sucked into the black hole."

"Thank goodness you're here." Amy sighed, her own red hair being pulled towards the void. A moment later there was a series of pinging noises as the buttons of her shirt burst, then the tartan garment was ripped from her body and swallowed by the hole, leaving her in a white bra. "Can you work on step two a little quicker?"

"I'm on it..." The Superintendent was suddenly cut off as her scarf was yanked towards the black hole, causing it to tighten around her neck. She quickly struggled out of it and let it fly free, to be swallowed.

"I don't think feeding it is going to help, it's got quite an appetite." Amy said, holding on to the door handle to avoid being pulled in.

"Hold on, I'm doing some very complicated maths in my head." The Superintendent replied.

"Maths? About what?" Amy suddenly found her jeans ripped from her legs and they also flew into the hole, leaving her in a white thong which matched her bra, and a pair of grey socks, her trainers also having been swallowed.

"Yes, that should do it." The Superintendent announced to herself, before pulling a catapult and a small pebble from her pocket. She took aim and let the stone fly, it skirted the edge of the black hole, spinning halfway round it, before flying off the other side and smashing into the circuitry on the wall. There was a small shower of sparks and then the circuits went dead and the black hole disappeared.

Amy collapsed to the floor, clad only in her brief underwear. The Superintendent had managed to keep her clothes, minus the scarf, but her blouse was untucked and small rips dotted the material of it and her trousers. She stepped past Amy and opened the door.

"Come on, no time to sit about."

The two of them ran back to the laboratory, and found the scientists.

"When's the president arriving?" The Superintendent asked.

"She just docked." The female scientist replied, "But we can't get there, Audrey changed the access codes, we can't get into the shuttle bay."

"I can get in." The Superintendent said, "But I need some things. Amy, go get me that time bubble gun, I need to play with some pheromones. I have a plan."
