A very large cruise ship can be seen on the horizon. It travels at an incredible speed towards the Tavern, creating a bow wave that can be seen from space.
Mounted on the bridge is a massive antenna, emitting loud bleeping sounds.
It is a jumbo-sized Crumpet Detector, and it is glowing red.

The ship docks, and whizzing down the gangplank come a plump old lady, a smiling, happy African man and many, many Siamese cats. They all have napkins tucked under their chins, and all are drooling (including the humans)
"Um....did someone mention...crumpets??" asks the old lady, rushing towards Bruce. There is a predatory look in her eye.
