“One of the sheep, an old wise one, reminds the Woolmonger and his people of kinder gentler days. And tells of a new young hero, risen from the ranks of humans. Before he is taken away by the Mad Cows…
lyrics
Young Stuart: Grandfather, what is it they say... With respect tae the bagpipe...
And the Sheep?
Grown up Stuart: Grampa... You never answered my question.
THOMASON 1: I am inspector Thomason of Scotland Yard’s division linked to MI7.
THOMASON 2: I am inspector Thomason of Scotland Yard’s division linked to MI7.
THOMASON 1: We realize that you too are involved in this resistance to the New Ruminant Army and General Scrapie.
THOMASON 2: We are here to claim our piper and get on with the next phase of our mission. Is Piper Alpha ready?
GRAMPA (OMEGA): Stuart… c’mere lad. I have a few things to tell ye
STUART: OK Grampa, err “Omega“
OMEGA: it all starts with The Skye Fortress…
THOMASON 1: for years MI7 has been working on a theory that Scrapie’s clones and in fact the entirety of the planet’s population of species, Ovis Aries is
THOMASON 2: being telepathically influenced by the extreme intellect of General Scrapie.
T1: the clones in fact magnify his control and have been sent out to locations worldwide to be his field commanders for the

THOMASON 1: your grandfather is one of the originators, the original engineers
THOMASON 2: of this weapon. Sit down... This MAY blow your mind... Piper Alpha…
CUT TO OLD OVINE STORYTELLER ADDRESSING THE LAMBS:
Sit down my ovine son
Let me tell you about a man
Who grew up in the mountains
Who came from a sturdy clan
He was a grizzled warrior
He served his nation true
He took up many missions
A brave lad through and through
CHORUS
Long before the General
Grew up to be a ram
And the Flock were grazing gently
In the Highlands
He lost his pa to battle
His Uncle and brother too
His son fell to the Flock
At the Brig O’ Doon
This son of his named Stuart
Had quite the legacy
He was said to play the music
That could pacify the sheep
But there was another
The piper had a son
He and his grandfather
Are still on the run
They escape our detection
It’s been many a year
In the Highlands mighty Highlands
They are there…
