Re: True Times

WHO: Peter
WHEN: Talking to Alandra
WHERE: In the Hallway
<snip>"So how did you come to Blue Dwarf?" Alandra asked waiting for
his
reply.
Peter looked at her with sureness...<end snip>
"Well, there's not much to tell." Said Peter "But I'll tell ya"
"I was posted at the JMC Base in Bristol, when the message came
through to all staff who could fly and had ships to report to the
briefing room, and all other personel to get to the Fallout
Shelters. In the briefing room we were given the lowdown on the
Hymenoptra fleet that was coming. So, we took off in our ships to
get to what they were calling 'the line'. I was using a Blue Midget
so was only useful for defence. But it didn't matter, we were no
match, the Hymenoptra totally wiped us out. We lost all our capital
warships within minutes. The my entire squadron was destroyed. I
lost a lot of good friends that day, and then...well you know what
happend then. They destroyed our world. 8 Billion Lives gone in a
second. I was lucky, My ship lost her engines and thrusters, but
Life Suport was intact. I drifted for nearly a week, until I was
picked up by a salvage team from Blue Dwarf. I was a wreak. I spent
a week recuperating in the Medi-Bay. But as soon as I was well
enough, I signed on as Weapons Officer. And the rest is, as they say
history."
"Wow, seems you've had a pretty hard time of it. But hey, you've got
a friend in me mate" smiled Alandra.
"Thanks, that means a lot to me. Now, hows about we head down to
Parrots and get ourselves something to drink. First rounds on me."
and with that they set off, for the first drink of many.
