 Copyright Valiant Technology Ltd Captain O’Doublecross was a wicked pirate droid. After 5 years of stealing treasure he anchored his ship off Rust Bucket Island. When he was sure everyone was hooked into their rechargers for the night he quietly unplugged the two brothers DIM 1 and DIM 2. He made them row to the island and bury a huge casket of treasure. As soon as they’d finished, quicker than you could say “pop my rivets”, he whipped out his sonic screwdriver and disassembled them. He scattered their bits around the island and left them to corrode before returning to the ship. In the morning the ship set sail. The DIMs never shone out in a crowd. So nobody missed them. However as soon as they got home to the notorious port of Bognor the DIM’s wives WIT 1 and WIT 2 came looking for them. It was not long before the crew realised the DIMs were not the only thing missing. Where was the treasure? Buried Treasure After a few painful hours of hacking into Captain’s fragmented memory circuits the crew found the treasure map code. Was it enough to find the treasure?
