MATTER OF FACT WAR OF THEM THERE WORLDS

[Alberon]

Tripod 1: Doesn't this seem a bit labour intensive?

Tripod 2: What d'ya mean?

Tripod 1: Well, just landing here and zapping each individual biped with our heat ray thingy seems a really slow way of doing it. Like exterminating an ant nest with a hammer.

Tripod 2: What's an ant? And what's a hammer, for that matter?

Tripod 1: *sigh* I meant exterminating a blorp nest with a t'C'knnnenn.

Tripod 2: Why didn't you say so? I like the sound of exterminating though.

Tripod 1: Tough. We didn't get the copyright on that for some reason despite us being around over sixty years earlier.

Tripod 2: So what else can we say?

Tripod 1: I dunno. Hey, you over there! Have you any ideas what we could shout as we wipe the bipeds out?

French Tripod: OOOOOHHHHH LAAAAA LAAAAAA!!

Tripod 1: Fucks sake.

Tripod 2: How are there French tripods anyway?
