Im leaving Blue Dwarf

(OOC: This will be my last ever post I dont have time now for Bd)
Who:Joe Craggins
Where: Asteroid feild a Space Eagle Mk 2
When: During the space battle in the Neauox Sector, before the
battle was won
Joe knew immedietly something was wrong. That and the fact that
every alarm light and siren on the display was on and blaring. One
display was flashing more urgently then the others-then main
problem. Joe highlighted it and realised it was the damage displey.
The two engines were flashing red for extreme critical damage and
that they had turned themselves off to conserve power, an overlay of
the power core apeared and showed that he was leaking power-fast.
Smeg, he had been hit by an enemy fighter. He transfered emergency
power to the engines. The display showed the red dispearing and
replaced by a light amber-the engines were still extreemly badly
damaged but still mainly operational. Flying blind, his navcomp off
and wouldnt switch back on again, Joe dodged several small asteroids
and touched down gently on a large asteroid. The handheld-battery
powered gravity meter read 1/10th of Earth norm gravity. Joe engaged
the manual landing clamps so the ship wouldnt float off into space.
He went to the back of the cockpit and pulled up a panel
marked "emergency supplies". Inside was a months worth of food
pouches and water, Eco aceraltion rockets that he would only use as
a last resort and emergency flares. He put on his spacesuit, engaged
the mangetic clamps in his boots and stepped outside. He gazed for a
moment as the many stars and constellations, wondering in their
beutey, he thought someday, he would try to visit as many of those
stars as he could then got back to work on the flares and tripod to
fire them from. He readied the flares. Suddenly there was a large
explosion, the enemy mothership had been destroyed and he saw their
fighters heading back to BD. He hurridly began setting up the tripod
and was about to pull the firing pin when he heard another noise:
The engines of Blue Dwarf starting up. He turned with horror and saw
the fighters entering the hanger bay, he hadnt been seen, they were
going to leave without him! He abondened the flares and ran, as fast
as the gravity would allow him, back to the ship. He hurridley
blasted off from the asteroid and gunnered his already leaking
engines. He was almost within scanner range of the BD when a massive
asteroid, bigger than the one he had just landed on. Engine power
was non existant, he wouldnt have enough power to get over it. Out
of the corner of his eye, he saw wormhole energy rippling across the
Dwarfs hull, it was about to make a jump into hyperspace and he
would be stranded here, he needed to get to the ship NOW! He turned
around to perhaps make his way back to the asteroid he had came from
when he saw it had moved.... straight towards him. He was trapped,
he couldnt escape so he dived down in between the gap of the two
asteroids. Above him, they collided and large peices of rock reined
down upon him. A fracture apeared on one side of the wall oposite
the ship where he had set it hovering. Suddenly, the tip of the
asteroid broke off and plumeted, more than a million tons of granite
and iron ore strait for him. At that that moment there was a bright
flash as the Dwarf made the jump, speeding away from him at almost
the speed of light. The rock collpased onto the still functioning
laser enhaned nuclear core, crushing it flat. There was another
flash and the ship vaporised, sending out a purple shockwave of
laser and nuclear energy, the two asteroids fragmented instantly,
like someone firing a shotgun at a potato. Ashes from the ship and
its pilot floated gently in the air, mingled with the crushed rock
of the asteroids. The dust and ash would eventually form a nebula of
immense size and beuty and would cradle the birth of a new star and
planets, that star would then collapse on itself when it died
creating a blackhole and sucking the nebula and the planets into it.
That is the story of Joe Craggins, space pilot.
The END.
