RE: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] Flight of the Canaries

Who:- Peter Marwood, Mk. 7, Callum Kochanski, Chris Harris, Efof
Yu'Wankah',Amber FeBuggure-Cleavage, Jay Chrysler. (Jack's staying on BD)
When:- Immediatley after the last post
Where:- The Scorpion
Jay took the controls.
His right hand closed around the throttle control and he slowly edged it
forward to pick up speed gradually.
The Scorpion lurched backward at a breakneck pace throwing everyone off
their feet. Jay scrmabled back onto his feet and put the throttle back where
it had been.
"Heh....sorry guy's guess this thing works in reverse"
"You sure you can fly this thing?" Chris asked.
"Hey! This is me your talking to!"
"I know" replied Chris "But can you fly this thing?"
"Not a clue..." Jay replied honestly.
"Were going to die!" sang Mk 7, in slightly too upbeat a tone.
"It's just, even on manual control, theres alot of audio commands I'm gonna
need to fly this slime-bucket..not to mention the pitch, thrust, rudder and
banking controls are all over the place...look at this!"
Jay pulled the control stick backwards and the ship rolled to the left.
"Not to mention the lack of an actual viewscreen or porthole! This headset's
giving me a headache!"
Jay whipped off the headset that Callum had made to interface with the ships
external sensors.
The hymenoptera linked with their ships sensors telepathically, and usually
piloted them in the same way so there were no monitors to give the pilot an
outside view. Callum had made a simple headset, worn like a pair of
sunglasses that projected an external ship view over the lenses.
"But you can figure it out right?" Marwood asked
"Well, I can probably work out the manual controls, but the audio commands,
such as the command code's to get us near the damn mothership are gonna
cause us problems!"
"So, just keep the flatulence going!"
"It's not as simple as that! Not only can I not fart on cue! But I've worked
out that it's not just coinicidence that the sounds we used happen to
activate a few systems, but it's the Hymenoptera language!"
"So what are you saying?"
"That unless we can find someone who has both a pilots license AND speaks
fluent Hymie...we may not be able to pull this off."
"Just as well I'm here then..." came a familiar voice over Jay's
communicator, it was from the canary contingent.
"Let me on the bridge and I'll fly.."
"Amber?" Jay replied "What are you doing here?"
"Joined the canaries" she replied "Seeing as noone bothered to fight my case
for me"
Jay nodded to Chris to escort Amber to the bridge whilst still talking into
his communicator "Amber, I couldnt come to the court room I'm even more
wanted than you, hopefully this plan will get us BOTH off the hook, as an
extra bonus to saving millions of lives"
"Whatever.." replied Amber as the bridge doors slid open, and she strode in.
Callum passed her the spare headset. Amber took her place in the pilot's
seat.
"One more thing..." Jay said "I'm changing Jack's plan."
He looked around the room at the puzzled faces.
"Think about it." he said "We destroy the Thorax by ramming it we'll kill
the past versions of Amber and me, so we won't be around to put this plan
into practise!"
"So, what are we gonna do instead?"
"We're gonna board it, and storm the bridge...."
<Tag to anyone aboard!>

Subject: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] Flight of the Canaries
OOC: Peter was accidentally left out of Mk.7's post (or so im told
lol) so, im just going to say he was the pilot of the Canary Ship.
WHO: Peter, Mk.7, Jay, Jack, CK, Chris & Efof
WHEN: After the experimenting with sounds and smells.
WHERE: Hymenoptra Ship
Peter left the Canary vessel and, with directions from a Guard, made
his way to the bridge.
When he got there he was overwhelmed by the smell of powerful farts.
He went dizzy and felt slightly sick.
"Jesus, who let that nuclear fart rip?" he said when he recovered.
CK looked up from one of the panels he was studying and said "Sorry
man, we're were just experimenting to see what smells did what on
this ship."
"Yeah" said Jay "we need to figure out what does what fast or we're
not going to be able to get to Earth in time to stop Evil-Me."
"Oh right" said Peter "So why haven't you tried looking for the
smell that activates a manual control or something?"
"Hey, thats a pretty good idea" said Chris.
"ok everybody" said Jay, taking command. "Starting making noises to
try and activate a manual control or something."
---Twenty Smelly minutes later---
The Away team were all slumped around the bridge, sick from the
smells they had produced. Even Mk.7 looked drowzy. Efof was nowhere
to be seen.
"eurgh...great idea Peter" spat Jay.
At that moment, A gust of wind filled the room and cleaned the air
up. and a joystick appeared on a podium from the floor. Efof came
back into the room, looking rather pleased with himself.
<TAG to Jay or anyone on the ship>
