“I can see they’ve taken quite a liberty, but you must forgive us, a man of your ability we can find a use for.”

“Why me?”

“I prefer my own company.”
“You’ll have to hide your face behind several masks.”
“If no-one sees me what will that matter?”
“And wear a cowled robe.”
“Is that all?”
“You’ll be able to see everything that goes on, and we’ll give you a telephone so that you can speak to Number Two, your subordinate.”
“My subordinate, that makes me the boss, I’m Number One!”
“Yes......oh and you’ll have to spend all your time cooped up in a space rocket!”
“Will I?”
