Sidekick Sam is having a break from fighting the production gremlins and the machine-blocking monsters. He sits back in his chair and almost falls over backward as he notices Butler Bob standing right in front of his table.

Bob with his quiet and unobtrusive ways often surprise people by seemingly appearing out of thin air right in front of them. This serves him well in his function to ensure that nothing and nobody ruins the smooth running of the administration and financial offices. “Goodness Bob,” he exclaims, “how many times do I have to tell you not to sneak up on me! You’ll give me a heart-attach yet. I bet you get a great kick out of seeing people falling out of their chairs. What are you doing here anyway; you never come into the plant.”

Chapter 3 - Sidekick Sam serves SOA

Sidekick Sam is fighting an extruder gone wild. Every time he thinks he has it under control, the extruder retaliates with a new surprise. Sam misses Captain Packer. They work so well together as a team, but sometimes a sidekick has to handle things himself, especially when the superhero has more important things to do. Finally, with a back sore from bending over and hands all sweaty from his protective gloves, Sam manages to get the extruder to behave. On his way to the change-room he is intercepted by one of the operators. “Here you are! I have been looking for you all over. Capt…I mean, Mr Packer wants you to come to his office immediately sir.” He says with a goofy expression, “It sounded quite urgent.”
