RE: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] To Business

"Well" said Jay "The best way to find out anything concrete would be to...interview someone involved..."
"Brilliant Chrysler" Keto scoffed "What, do you expect a Zombie to just enter into a Q&A session and fill you in on all the details?"
"No..." replied Jay "I expect Igor to"
"Igor?" Keto replied "Who on Mars is Igor?"
"He tried to abduct Phil just before you arrived" Jay explained "Seems pretty obvious he's got something to do with it all"
"And you suppose he's just going to tell you everything do you?"
Jay shrugged and walked toward Mk.9."You wanna be the good cop, or the bad cop?" he asked.
"Ooh! Let me be the good cop for a change!" replied the Mechanoid "They always seem to get hurt badly when I'm the bad cop.."
"Ever think it might be something to do with the pneumatic cylinders powering your punches?"
"You think thats it?"
"I'd bet the Phoenix on it..." Jay kissed Katrina and headed for the cellar, before yelling back "Babe, you and Tara make sure Keto's the first to get eaten if the door gives way eh?" then he gestured to Phil to join him and the skutter and the threesome ventured behind the bar and down the stairs.
They arrived in the basement, to find Igor shaking the hatch, that opened onto the street violently. Trying to find an esacpe route.
"Iggy, Iggy, Iggy...." said Jay. "You have been a bad monkey!!"
"Tell us what you know" Mk.9 said
"Or what?"
"Or Jay and Phil here get angry...."
Jay grabbed Igor by the collar and punched Igor hard across the face, then threw him into a chair, Phil threw him some handcuffs  which Jay fastened behind Igor's back, around the back of the chair.
Jay and Phil closed in on the bound man, cracking their knuckles.
"I'd talk if I were you Iggy" Mk.9 continued, "Phil's awfully bad tempered when he's been drinking......"

Who: Everyone in the Spotted DuckWhere: The Spotted DuckWhen: Just after Seymour and Chris crashed into it, Keto landed on itand Nikola landed on him===============================<<SNIP>>Grabbing onto a gutter, the terrified Nikola hoisted himself ontothe roof- only to fall through the hole that the Midget had made,through the hatch, and directly onto Keto.<<END SNIP>>The silence that followed was itself followed by some subdued laughterfrom the rest of the assembled crew. Nikola stood up as Keto growledand hauled himself to his feet again, only to be knocked down a secondtime by Niples and Chris Harris jumping down from the roof-hole too."Never fear, I am..." began Seymour triumphantly, followed by agirlish yelp as Keto grabbed his ankle from floor level."It's not a zombie, it's Keto," pointed out Jay, eliciting a louderyelp and more pointed attempts to get away. Keto's muffled voice roseup from floor level, saying, "Ymf crmshed mff shmpff.""It wasn't your ship, it belonged to Her Majesty!" sniffed Seymour,pulling his foot out of Keto's bruised grasp with one last jerk. "Besides, it's still intact. Mostly. Almost. You can go out and getit any time.""Please go out and get it," agreed Jay, nodding towards the front doorwhich was still being besieged by zombies. Keto cast another glare athim as he rose to his feet, dusting himself off."I seem to be surrounded by brain-dead creatures," he observed, "Bothinside and outside this establishment. I think our time would bebetter spent trying to find out WHERE these creatures came from andWHY they are attacking us. Only after we discover that can we bestwork out how to feed Niples to them.""Hey!""YOU CRASHED MY SHIP!" snapped Keto, face reddening, "I mean, I KNEWyou were incompetent, but...""So why did you hire him to do the job?" asked Chris Harris from overby the wall, where he was turning over one of the now-finally-deceasedzombies with his foot. Keto's mouth opened and closed for a moment."That's true," nodded Niples, "Only a fool would hire somebodyincompetent to do a job.""You are skating on very thin ice, *Ambassador* Niples," mutteredKeto, "But we shall converse about this later. Now. To business. Where are my medistaff and what do any of us know about these creatures?"=========================OOC: Tag anybody! Remember, you can always post your reactions tothese strange creatures that are swarming all around the pub - we'vegot a few dead (properly dead) bodies inside the pub too, so if youwant to try and help Dying Generic Crewmember 21A, that's an option too.Just post. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be. :P
