<Starbug 3's midsection, en route to New France>
Rufus Febuggure, was not the most confident of people. He didn't interact
well with others, with the exception of a few bit's of sentient machinery
and surprisingly Lawrence Trisee's, at least before his latest
disappearance. He was a genius, there's no doubt about it, having inherited
alot of his father's Gelf DNA, which super-charged the intellect he had also
got from his ex-chief of science father (OOC - going back a bit but it
happened!) the lad was a scientific prodigy, but for all his brains, his
lack of confidence in himself generally over-rode his genius in certain
socail situations which led to Rufus having no knowledge about one area he
would love to "experiment with"....women.
In fairness, Rufus' lack of experience in this field was not entirely due to
his own low self-confidence. Somehow or another, alot of the women aboard
the ship on which he had grown up were somehow distantly related to him. It
was quite common that he'd hack into the ships personell files and find
someone who is somehow related to his mothers cousin, Arnold Rimmer, hell,
more than half of the crew applications rejected by the senior staff were
members of the Rimmer family by name, blood, or adoption...and frankly,
incest wasn't on Rufus' to do list.
Rufus had just spotted a woman that he felt he might have a chance with
however. There were two obstacles, firstly, she his father's, best friends,
younger sister. Not a huge issue, he felt. The second, was that she was in
fact a hologram. Vanessa Chrysler, Jay's dead younger sister, the medic
assigned to this starbug on it's way to infiltrate the French Foreign Legion
(He hadn't yet worked out how he'd managed to get himself into this mess of
a mission, but knew it was something to do with his stash of experimental
weapons vanishing) sat across from him and he'd never noticed before just
how attractive she was. He knew she'd never want anything to do with
him...but unlike the other girl's he'd met in the past, he knew he could
give her something that she couldn't turn down.....
< Cockpit >
"Would you just SIT DOWN please?"
"All I'm saying is that if you ease up on the throttle a little bit you'll
get a hell of a lot more mileage outta this thing in the long run!"
"Whos the pilot here? Wait...who's the CHIEF OF NAVIGATION here?"
"That would be you." Katrina Salter, flight technician, replied to Jay. "And
it's for that reason you might wanna make these thing's last! It's your
budget that replaces them!"
"Look, perhaps, Dean, might write off a starbug just getting into it, or an
average pilot might burn out the clutch in a few years but I know what I'm
doing..OK?! And I DONT need a back seat pilot!!"
"I'm an engineer! I care about engines!"
"And I'm the pilot here and in case you'd forgotten I'm also your superior
officer!"
"You made that clear when you leapt on top of me earlier..."
"....sorry about that....."
"Meh...I've been underneath worse people"
"Well, it won't happen again..." Jay apologised again.
"Good, I prefer being on top."
Jay raised an eyebrow, then turned to the plexi-glass windscreen of the
starbug. "Woah hey, strap yourself in, time to land..."
Katrina strapped herself into the co-pilots seat and Jay landed the small
craft perfectly. The pair of them got up and headed for the midsection,
"There, I've eased off the damn throttle, satisfied?"
"Not yet.."
"Ok guys!" Jay said to the midsection full of people "You know what we're
here for" he placed a beret on his sister's head to hide her "H" "Lets move
out"
