She is Daidum, a pure doberman with traces of a German accent. SAMANTHA (points): And over here is the dining room area, Miss Daidum, ma'am! DAIDEM (nods): Ya ya, so dats where we eat! Show me to dah ladies room, I vant to check my hair! OTTO (points): The nearest female restroom facility is located up those stairs and to your right DAIDEM (nods): Dunka shane, I will return, be sure to vait for me! As Daidem makes her way upstairs, Dervish, Dylan and Cobber walk over to Otto and Samantha. DERVISH (smiling): Hey guys, what's up? DYLAN (smiles): As Hunter would say, how's it waggin? OTTO (sternly): At present, my tail is not wagging at all... in fact... SAMANTHA (smiles): That's not what Dylan's asking, dear. (turns to Dylan): We are showing a new recruit around Mission Control. (points): That's her coming down the stairs now! As Daidem reaches the bottom of the stairs, she walks over to the group. DAIDEM (huge smile): Hello dare, handsome dog men! I'm Daidem! DERVISH (shakes hands): I'm Dervish Vagabound! DYLAN (shakes hands): And I'm Dylan, welcome to the team! COBBER (shakes hands): And I'm Cobber, from Austrailia! DAIDEM (smiles): And I'm AVAILABLE! Remember dat, you gourgeous hunks of dogmen! Dawn and Star now walk over to the new Rover. DAWN (shakes hands): Hi! My name is Dawn! STAR (shakes hands): And I'm Star, I really like your hairstyle! DAIDEM (smiles): Dunka, Star! It's not easy for me to be dis beautiful all duh time! Sometimes I vonder why I vas cured vith such good looks! DAWN (whispers to Star): She sounds a lot like you know who! STAR (nods, whispers back): I agree, Dawny! Suddenly from across the room, Blitz gets his first look at Daidem. BLITZ (excited): Auck TUN!!! OH BABY BABY!!! I gotta meet her! He runs over to the group, flexing his bicep muscles in front of Daidem. BLITZ (smiling): Hello dere pretty dog girl! I'm Blitz, duh number one Road Rover! How's about you and me take a nice quiet stroll, vee have so much in common... DAIDEM (shakes head): Dat's your problem, Blitz, you are too common to be seen with a beauty like me! BLITZ (confused): Vhat?? DAIDEM (conceited): Face it, you viener snitzle! I am by far duh more gourgeous female here, so I must find the most handsome man to, as you so crudely say, 'take a scroll' wit. But first, I vill file my nails! Excuse me, the great Daidem shall return! Blitz is so deflated, he sits on a bench and mopes. STAR (angry): She's got some nerve! DAWN (mocks): I am by far the more gourgeous female here... (angry) RIGHT! What am I, chopped liver? COBBER (points): She sure took the air out of Blitz's tires! SAMANTHA (sadly): Poor Blitz, even I feel sorry for him now... DERVISH (smiles): Hey, maybe in time, Daidem's ego won't be so bloated! DYLAN (shakes head): I don't know, Derv, look at Blitz! He's been a Rover for years and .... COBBER (nods): Point well taken, mate! Suddenly, the Master is heard on the PA system, calling all available Rovers to the briefing room. Otto, Samantha, Cobber, Derv, Dylan, Exile, Dawn and Star rush over and take their seats. Blitz comes in afterwards, followed by Daidem, who is still filing her nails. MASTER (on podium): Road Rovers, we have a crisis! DAIDUM (screams): ME TOO!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! MASTER (curious): Daidum? What's the matter? DAIDUM (in tears): I chipped a nail! MAJOR CRISIS HERE!! DAWN (rolls eyes): Oh brother! DERVISH (laughs): Better call 911!! COBBER (laughs): Maybe we can call a manicurist who makes emergency house calls! MASTER (sternly): Rovers, HEEL! Now, as I was saying, an experimental new explosive has just been stolen from a military convoy that was excorting it to a research center in Colorado. It's a secret formula, rumored to be more powerful than any other non-nuclear explosive compound! OTTO (nods): Affirmative... any clues as to who perpetrated this terrible crime? DAIDEM (angry): Who cares about that? I vant to know who did it! DYLAN (rolls eyes): Er... yeah, that's important too! MASTER (sternly): The only thing the soldiers guarding it could remember is.... it was a cano-sapien! DERVISH (growls): Parvo again! DYLAN (shakes head): Doesn't that guy ever learn? MASTER (shakes head): Wait! This time it's NOT Parvo! Here is a police artist's sketch of what the thief looks like! When the Master displays the sketch on his front view screen, all of the Rovers but Daidem gasps in shock. SAMANTHA (shocked): Oh NO! DAWN (nods): You can say that again, Sam! DAIDEM (shrugs shoulders): So, he kinda looks like Dylan, so vhat? DYLAN (growls): JAKE!! DAIDEM (confused): Who is Jake? DERVISH (looks at Daidem): Jake is Dylan's evil brother, Daidem. We have dealt with him many times before BLITZ (growls): I will take great pleasure in biting him on the tooschie! DAIDEM (turns head): Disgusting! STAR (nods): I gotta agree with you on that one! EXILE (sternly): Don't be a weird boy! MASTER (coldly): Road Rovers, find Jake and retrieve that compound! EXILE (looks around): Bolshoi! Where are Hunter, Colleen and Shag? MASTER (sadly): Their masters are busy, they couldn't get away, it'll be up to you! Exile, your in charge! EXILE (salutes): Dokey Okey, Master! To the Sky Rover! BLITZ (angry): Hey! Why are YOU duh leader? I'm the best Road Rover, I should be leader! COBBER (upset): You couldn't lead ants to a picnic, mate! DAWN (laughs): Good one, Cobber! BLITZ (angry): HEY! DAIDEM (smirks): YOU the best Road Rover? HA! BLITZ (angry): Stop it or I'll bite you, new girl! DAIDEM (screams): YOU AND VHAT ARMY?? Blitz gets a very frightened look on his face as Daidem stands up and stares at him. She laughs as she joins the others exiting the room. BLITZ (dreamily): Vat a BABE!! Blitz is the last to arrive inside the Jet Rover. Star pilots it out of the hanger and soon they are heading towards Colorado. Blitz is sitting across the aisle from Daidem, he can't take his eyes off of her. Dawn is seated beside of Dervish, Cobber is seated next to Dylan. Exile is seated next to Samantha and Otto is in the co-pilot seat next to Star. OTTO (points): According to our current data, this is the last known location of Jake. STAR (nods): We can land in that field over there. DAIDEM (smirks at Blitz): Take a picture, it'll last longer! BLITZ (dreamily): I LOVE the vay you talk to me! DAIDEM (angry): You keep staring at me and I'll shut your eyes for GOOD! DAWN (whispers to Dervish): Maybe she's not so bad after all DAIDEM (opens compact mirror): Oh, I can see vhy you stare at me. I am SO good looking! DERVISH (whispers back): Wanna bet? COBBER (looks at Dylan): What do you think your brother's up to? DYLAN (sadly): I don't know. He may try to sell the formula, or make bombs with it. Knowing him the way I do anything is possible. SAMANTHA (scared): Oh NO! I hope we can stop him! EXILE (looks at Samantha): Don't worry, Samski! Ve vill find Jake! The Jet Rover lands safely in the field near the stopped convoy. Exile, Blitz, Samantha, Otto, Cobber, Dylan, Dervish, Dawn and Star fan out and begin searching for clues. Daidem lags behind, sadly complaining about the wind. DAIDEM (upset): Dis wind is ruining my perfect hair! DAWN (looks at her): Why not wear a helmet? DAIDEM (upset): Are you kidding? That'd mess it up vorse!! COBBER (looks back at Daidem): C'mon Daidem, help us look for clues! OTTO (picks up a clump of dirt from the ground): Interesting..... SAMANTHA (smiles): What did you find, dear? OTTO (sternly): This sample of soil contains traces of the explosive compound. It seems to radiate a faint magnetic signature. I will recalabrate my internal sensors to detect this signature, if successful, I will be able to follow this trail to it's end EXILE (smiles): Good work, Comrade Otto! DERVISH (concerned): If there are traces of this compound on the ground... that means... DYLAN (nods): Yes, it means he has at least a sample of it or at worst, he may have mixed together a larger batch. SAMANTHA (scared): Oh NO! COBBER (nods): That's BIG danger, mates! OTTO (sternly): Recalabration completed.... scanning..... (points): I picking up a faint trail leading in that direction. EXILE (nods): Rovers, let's go get'm! The ten Rovers follow the trail to the mouth of a big cave. OTTO (points): The trail leads inside.... scanning is difficult.... some sort of electro-magnetic field is interfering with my internal sensors COBBER (nods): That means we'll have to go in! BLITZ (scared): Vhat if deres bats or bears or someting scary in dere? DAIDEM (nods): For once, I agree with Blitz! DERVISH (smiles): So, the BEST Road Rovers are frightened of a little old cave BLITZ (grunts): Er... DATS RIGHT! I'll lead the way! DAIDEM (pushs Blitz aside): Nine! The BEST Road Rover will lead, and dats ME! DAWN (shakes head): Whatever.... Otto fires a light beam out of his eyes as the Rovers enter the cave. Blitz and Daidem lead the way, but when a flocks of bats fly by, they instinctively grab hold each other in fear. The other Rovers duck down as the bats fly past them. Suddenly, when they realize that they are hugging, Daidem slaps Blitz in the face DAIDEM (furious): How DARE you hold me like dat! BLITZ (confused): Vhat??? OTTO (points): Look! There is what appears to be a door over there. DERVISH (shakes head): This seems to be TOO easy! DYLAN (nods): I agree! Dylan takes a medium-sized rock and throws it at the door. When it strikes it, a huge cargo net falls directly in front fo the door. COBBER (nods): You were right, mate! That was a ruddy booby trap! EXILE (nods): Good workski! Now we can safely go inside! As the Rovers walk towards the door, all of them begin to feel light headed and dizzy. OTTO (struggles to speak): Chamber.... filling .... with ..... colorless ..... sleep.... gas....... All ten of the Rovers are soon out cold. When they awaken, all but Otto are in a huge cage with steel bars. Exile awakens first, the others soon follow. EXILE (looks around): Where are we? STAR (looks around): Looks like Jake's got us caged COBBER (angry): That blighter took my sword! DAWN (angry): And our weapons! SAMANTHA (shocked): And my collar! (looks around); Where's Otto? DERVISH (angry): That's right, we're all here but him! BLITZ (scared, in a corner): I VHAT TO GO HOME NOW!!!! DAIDEM (looking down at him): Vhat a vimp! DYLAN (shouting): JAKE!! WE KNOW YOUR BEHIND THIS!!! SHOW YOURSELF!!!! A rock panel slides open, Jake walks over holds a test tube in one hand and smiling widely. JAKE (evil grin): Ah! The Road Rover petting zoo! What a great idea! SAMANTHA (growling): WHERE'S MY HUSBAND? DYLAN (angry): LET US GO NOW!!! JAKE (shakes finger at Dylan): No no no, dear brother, not just yet! To answer your question, you Colleen look-a-like, I have that mechanize menace in a safe place. I'd love to disect him and steal his technical secrets, but there simply isn't time. (looks at watch): In a few minutes, his remaining energy will be drained from that bionic body of his SAMANTHA (frantic): NO!!! YOU'LL KILL HIM!!! HE'LL DIE WITHOUT ENERGY!!! JAKE (mock sympathy): Dear me, he will? (laughs): GOOD!!! The rest of you will be joining him in doggie heaven soon! DYLAN (shakes head): What's this all about? JAKE (smiles): I'll tell you, dear brother! I have just transmitted an ultimatum to Washington. Either they come up with fifty million dollars or I'll destroy a military target with this new explosive I stole! Even now as we speak, the Army is on full alert and the Pentagon and White House are swarming with troops! THE FOOLS!!! I have something much better in mind to destroy, as proof that I mean business! (smiles): Any of you care to guess what that will be? DAWN (angry): We don't like your stupid guessing games, creep! STAR (nods): Yeah! JAKE (shakes head): You disappoint me, Rovers, now, what important military installation is closest to our present location? DERVISH (growls): The Stragetic Air Command! JAKE (points): Two points for the Orange one! COBBER (growls, pulls at bars): You bloody lunatic! Let us out of here! JAKE (laughs): You are in no position to make demands, my Austrailian friend! I have your sword, Sam's collar and all your other weapons and communication devices safely tucked away and ... (gets his first look at Daidum) .. and who is THIS vision of loveliness here? DAIDEM (wide grin): They call me Daidem.... you tall, handsome dogman! DAWN (shocked): What? DYLAN (angry): Hey! SAMANTHA (sternly): Miss Daidem, ma'am, Jake's the enemy, remember? DAIDEM (sexy voice): So.... you're Dylan's brother.... you are VUCH better looking in person! JAKE (shocked): Me? (huge smile): So... Daidem is it? Why hang around THESE losers? Join me, and share in the glory! DAIDEM (nods): Best offer I've had all day, Jakey! EXILE (confused): Jakey? DERVISH (furious): Daidem, you can't be serious! COBBER (points): That bloomin crackpot's gonna blow up SAC headquarters! DYLAN (grabs Daidem): Stop this NOW, Daidem! You're a Road Rover! DAIDEM (pushes Dylan away): I VAS a Road Rover! (turns to Jake): NOW I'm all yours, darling! DAWN (upset): DARLING??? STAR (waves fist): I'll give you DARLING, traitor! SAMANTHA (growls): HOW DARE YOU!! That man's killed my husband! As Star, Samantha and Dawn charge towards her, Jake pulls a laser pistol out of his trenchcoat and fires in front of the angry female Rovers, causing them to abruptly stop in their tracks. He points the gun in their direction as he slowly reaches for the key to their cell. Daidem smiles as she stands at the door, Jake reaches for a remote control and pushes one of it's buttons as he opens the heavy iron door of the cage. Dylan, Dervish and Cobber lunge forward at the open door, only to be repelled by a force field. Jake laughs as he shuts and locks the door once more. He turns to Daidem and grins. JAKE (smiles): You made the right choice, my dear! Daidem puts her arms around Jake and gives him a long passionate kiss as the other Rovers look on in astonishment. DAIDEM (smiles): At last, I found a REAL man! BLITZ (pleading): But vhat about me? I'm a real man! DAIDEM (smirks); A real DUMBKOFF man! (smiles): You are so crafty, Jake! JAKE (huge grin): You really think so, darling? Look all around! It took me months to built this small lair within this mountain. DAIDEM (looks into his eyes): I LOVE a man with brains! You are SO smart the vay you outfoxed us! JAKE (laughs): And I LOVE your accent, my dear! It's true! That trap I set up outside was sheer genius! I have their weapons and that troublesome Otto locked away in my lab, behind that door! DAIDEM (evil grin): And blowing up SAC headquarters! That takes REAL daring! (sexy voice); I LOVE a man with grit! JAKE (smiles): Yep! While you and I are enjoying each other's company, the time bomb I've already planted there ticks away! It'll blow SAC off of the map a few minutes from now! DAIDEM (slowly strokes his muzzle with her hands): But vhat if day find duh bomb first, Jakey-poo! JAKE (huge grin): They won't, my dear! It's a mile away in an old adandoned shed. The explosive is SO powerful, it'll destroy SAC, even from THAT distance! That's the beauty of my plan! (sexy voice); And speaking of ... beauty..... As Jake kisses Daidem again, she slowly takes the key out of his trenchcoat pocket. DAIDEM (whispers in his ear): One last thing, sweetie... JAKE (whispers): What's that, Daidem? DAIDEM (whispers): This! Daidem suddenly kicks Jake between his legs as hard as she can. The startled Jake falls to his knees and moans loudly in pain. Daidem tosses the key into Exile's hands. DAIDEM (shouting): Hurry! Vee hadn't got much time! EXILE (smiles): Way to go, Comrade Daidem! DERVISH (nods): Nice bit of acting! DYLAN (nods): Sure had all of us fooled! As Exile frees the other Rovers, Daidem has entered Jake's lab. She quickly hands Cobber the Sword of Canis and Samantha her collar. Otto is unconscience on a table, wired up to a strange looking device which continues to drain Otto's energy. SAMANTHA (panics): OH NO!!! OTTO!!!! EXILE (calmly): Calm down, Comrade Sam. DAWN (sternly): We have to disarm that bomb! DERVISH (nods): Right Dawny! (turns to Samantha): Sam, it's up to you! Since your collar only works on you, it's up to you to teleport us to the location of the bomb! SAMANTHA (in tears): But my husband is dying! I can't leave his side! DYLAN (pushs some buttons): Sam, Otto's not dead! I'm reversing this machine, it'll recharge his vital systems! COBBER (smiles): I'll come with ya, Sammy! Buck up! You can do this, calm down and focus! SAMANTHA (wiping away tears): You're right, here goes... Samantha closes her eyes and concentrates, with a loud BOOM!!!!! She and Cobber are now standing inside the shack where the bomb is. SAMANTHA (looks around): My collar detected the bomb in here, but where is it? COBBER (points to a shelf): There it is, Sam! SAMANTHA (shocked): OH NO!!! The timer has ticked down to ten seconds! COBBER (nods): No time to disarm the bloody thing! Teleport it away to a safe place! SAMANTHA (nods): Right! Samantha closes her eyes and concentrates, with another loud BOOM!!!! the bomb disappears from the shelf. COBBER (nods): Nice job, Sammy! Where did you send the bomb to? SAMANTHA (sadly): To the North Pole! COBBER (shocked): Cricky! You've just bombed Santa's workshop! SAMANTHA (shocked): OH NO!!!! But my scanner detected no life forms within a thirty mile radius of where I sent that thing! COBBER (snickers): Just joshin ya, Sam! SAMANTHA (relieved): Oh... (panics): OTTO! I gotta go back now! With another loud BOOM!!!!!!!!!! Samantha and Cobber instantly appear back in Jake's lab. Otto's eyes slowly open as Samantha hugs him and cries. OTTO (low voice): Do not fret, my love, my internal systems will be back online momentarily... SAMANTHA (hugging Otto): I LOVE YOU, OTTO!! DYLAN (nods): That's right, Sam, your husband's going to be just fine! COBBER (smiles): Sam stopped the bomb! SAC Headquarters is safe now! Dawn, Star and Dervish stand over Jake, who is still all curled up on the floor in pain. DAWN (growls): Serves you right, Jake! STAR (nods): Yeah, trying to kill all of those innocent people! DERVISH (looks over to Daidem): Hey Daidem, help me tie this freak dog up! DAIDEM (shakes head): Nine Dervish! I might break a nail! DERVISH (rolls eyes): Yeah... right...... EXILE (shakes Daidem's hand): That was a good idea, you really pulled the lamb over the wool's eyes! DAIDEM (nods): Naturally, I told all of you dat I vas dee BEST Road Rover, didn't I? BLITZ (walks over to Daidem): I KNEW you were just acting all the time! I know none of us dobermans would EVER turn traitor like dat! See, vee have DAT in common, pretty dog girl! DAIDEM (shakes head): Forget it, milk bone breath! I'm out of your league! STAR (whipsers to Dawn): But NOT out of ego! DAWN (nods): YEP! SAMANTHA (looks at Exile): Mr Exile, sir, I called the State Police, they're on their way to arrest Jake! EXILE (nods): Since Comrade Hunter's not here, I vill say it dis time! TO THE POWER OF THE PACK!!! All of the Rovers howl in unison. The scene is now Road Rover Mission Control, several hours later. The Rovers are in the briefing room standing in front of the Master. MASTER (smiles): You are all good, good dogs! You saved the Strategic Air Command, captured Jake and recovered the formula! DAIDEM (shouts): But I'm duh one who got everyone freedom! It vas ME! Dee Great Daidem! MASTER (nods): Yes, I read Exile's report, very clever of you to use your girlish charms to ... DAIDEM (interrupts): Dunka shane, Master!

How about you and me going out to dinner tonight? COBBER (shakes head): No thanks, I'm already spoken for! BLITZ (leaps in front of Cobber): But I'm not spoken for! You and me will have good time together, ya? DAIDEM (snorts): Nine Blitz, I'd rather date a cactus! DAWN (under her breath); She needs to SIT on one! STAR (laughs): Good one, Dawn! DAIDEM (Angry): HEY! MASTER (shakes her hand): Welcome to the Road Rovers, Daidem! DAIDEM (nods): Dunka shane, Master! You are too kind! HUNTER (walks in): Hey everyone! Shag is fixing his famous limberger tuna melt for dinner! COBBER (frowns): Thanks for the warning, mate! DERVISH (nods): I say, let's go out for pizza! DYLAN (nods): Good idea! STAR (smiles): Count me in! DAWN (smiles): Me too! OTTO (sternly): Given the present choice of nutritional supplements, I would conclude that ... SAMANTHA (interrupts): We're coming also! DAIDEM (frowns): Pizza is SO messy! I might ruin my clothes! HUNTER (shrugs shoulders): Suit yourself, Daidem! (shouts): LAST ONE IN THE ROVER BUS IS A DIRTY DOG!! All of the Rovers rush out of the room except for Daidem and Blitz. BLITZ (smiles): Dat leaves you and me, pretty dog girl! DAIDEM (smirks): Vell, maybe since we are dee only ones left, I vill LOWER my standards long enough to eat in duh dining room wit you... BLITZ (excited): You mean it? You really want to have dinner wit me? DAIDEM (sternly); Vell, if vee must, vee must! BLITZ (happy): YA! Come dis vay, pretty dog girl!
