'Bloody coppers,' Owen grumbled. 'They're going to ruin the whole scene at this rate. How're we supposed to learn anything when they keep blundering in where they're not wanted?'

'They're just doing their job Owen,' Gwen replied.

'And what job's that? Buggering things up?'

'They don't know any better.'

'Well they should.'

'Wouldn't you do the same if you were them?' she argued, 'Not knowing  about rifts and aliens?'

'I'd do a sight better than these plods.'

'Says the man who just stepped in alien slime while he was busy criticising everyone else.'

Owen looked down at his shoe.

'Bugger!'
