*Riverboat laughs*

Riverboat: What info did you think I was looking for? You're covered under it.

* Romana scowls*

Romana: You...you can't do this.

Riverboat: That was the bet, tough luck.

Romana: o...one more bet!

*Riverboat looks cynically*

Riverboat: What can you offer me now?

*Romana sighs*

Romana: If I lose... I'll rejoin your team.

Riverboat: i already control you.

*Romana sighs*

Romana: I mean completely. My animal side, totally removed, no going back.

Riverboat: oooo. i can get behind that.

* Romana gulps*

Romana: I...I'm prepared to do it.

Riverboat: let's play

*Romana shakes as she prepares for the bet*

Romana (thought): W...What am I doing?

Romana: i need to make sure the odds are completely for me

*Romana gulps*

Romana: a-a physical challenge! i bet i can get through any gauntlet you cook up

*Riverboat grins*

Riverboat: Ooh...I like those odds.

Romana: *gulps*

* The floor opens out below Romana's feet*

Romana: whoa! *falls in*

* Riverboat smiles*

Riverboat: OK, nice and simple- you get through each section, you win.

Romana: easy

*Riverboat laughs*

Riverboat: I never said who you'd be up against darlin'!

Romana; up against? what do you mean Up against?!

*She hears clicking and whirring*

Romana: W...What the...?

*She sees a robot version of Amber*

Riverboat: Enjoy.

Romana: how the....

*Riverboat grins*

Riverboat: Thanks for the info.

Romana: *runs*

* Robo-Amber blasts fire at her, which Romana rolls away from*

Romana: WHOA!
