Ah, hello.
Don't know if you remember me? I'm Herod - you know, the one who threatened you with possibly certain death.
You're supposed to be visiting me.
And you're late.
Care to explain?

Oh! Right! Um, err, kind of you to call and remind us.
Ummm, er, we've been called home on urgent business. I'm sure you'll understand ... you being a responsible monarch and all. Sorry we don't have time to drop by and chat.
Perhaps next time?
Oh, we're already across the border.
Don't be sending any messengers our way, OK? We took care of the last two and there's more where that comes from.
Ta!
presses end

Our would-be host, Two. So glad you shared that dream with us. He doesn't sound very hospitable.
Well, we can relax now. We're almost home.

Herod? That old wind bag. He can rant as much as he likes, but there's no way he can find out where we are. We don't even know where we are so he's got no hope.

Camera perspective: in the sky over the border between Palestine and Ur. Sky swarms with Osage SDF fighter craft, patrolling the border against any untoward and unfriendly action. Speak softly and carry a big stick.
