*Action* - "Change of command"

<snip>
The ship started up no problem, and before she knew it, she was
outside, facing the prison, and letting loose with every weapon on it.
She turned, and headed towards the Ffionian ship commanded by Jay.
"This is Rosette to Commander Chrysler! I've captured a halkon ship,
and need to dock!" she screamed, and blasted full speed towards the
ship, straight into the landing bay.

**Action post**
It was almost a full two days after the away teams returned from the
planet that Rosette and Fferna appeared again. Away teams had searched
relentlessly through the night for the pair, with a frantic Efof
forcing Barf to search every inch of the Halkon moon without sleep for
the entire duration.
As Rosette crashed into the Ffionian ship's hangerbay with as much
grace as a sweaty pregnant rhino, miraculously Fferna closely followed
her with another stolen ship. The two met in the hangerbay, both
breathing deeply, distraught and emotional to be over their ordeals.
"Did they torture you too?" Asked Fferna.
Rosette nodded. "Violin music… it was horrible!" Rosette admitted, her
fists clenched, urging to give payback to the Halkons.
"Me too… but they also made me listen to knives scraping on plates and
fingers on a blackboard! I hate the Halkons so much!"
"Me too!" Gasped Rosette, her anger causing her to spit her words out.
"Good. I think it's time we finished what we came here to do!" Said
Fferna and took Rosette by the hand and lead her to the bridge of the
ship.
On the bridge, a worried looking Jay sat in the comfy Captain's chair
with his fingers interlaced. He was surprised to see Rosette and
Fferna enter the room together, both looking like they'd been through
an ordeal.
"Rosette… Fferna… I'm glad you're okay we've been searching-"
Without a word of pleasantries, Fferna started barking orders at the
mixture of Ffionians and Blue Dwarf crew that manned the computers in
the room.
"Take us in orbit of the Halkon homeworld." Shouted Fferna. It was
Alicia who was by the helm, she cringed slightly at how rudely the
order was given to her, but programmed it in anyway.
Jay stood up and confronted the two women. "Hey, what's going on here.
I'm in command!"
"We're doing something that needs to be done." Said Fferna. She then
turned to the Ffionian at the weapons computer. "Prepare the nukes."
Jay stepped in front of her, "Woah, woah… tell me what's going on."
Fferna sighed. "Your people promised to help us. You provided us with
crew, with ships, even with the nukes! We're going to end this war by
nuking the Halkon homeworld." Rosette nodded behind her.
"What? Don't you think that's a little drastic?"
"No. You've seen them. They deserve it. How many Spacecorps nukes did
you give us?"
"Five… But they were for emergencies, we haven't even tried-"
"Target the five areas of densest population. We should wipe out the
entire population." Fferna said with a grin. Behind her, Rosette
jeered her on.
"This is ridiculous, belay that order!" Jay said, pointing to the
Ffionian at tactical.
The Ffionian looked confused and complied, until Rosette slapped him
across the face. "Listen to us. Not him!"
Fferna grinned. "That's the spirit Rosette!"
Jay stepped forward to pull Rosette away but suddenly became aware of
two Ffionians holding his arms. Jay was a sensible person, so he knew
that struggling now would just result in an embarrassing struggle.
"We're taking over the ship Jay." Fferna said flatly and without much
care of what she was doing.
At that moment Efof walked in. He saw Fferna and immediately ran over
to her and gave her a big squeeze and soppy kiss. Efof wasn't normally
the observant type, so it was surprising that he noticed Jay in the
hands of two burly-looking Ffionians dressed as batman.
"Erm… Jay… if you really need two people to prop you up while you're
working I think you should lay off the vodka!"
Jay spoke freely through partly clenched teeth, and accusing eyes
towards Fferna and Rosette. "No Efof. Your girlfriend here is taking
over. She's throwing me in the brig."
Efof stepped away from her slightly in disbelief. "No… really?"
"Yes Efof. Jay didn't believe in our cause."
Efof took a step away from Jay in disbelief. "No… really?" then he
paused. "What is our cause exactly?"
"To nuke the Halkons."
Efof chewed this over in his own mind. "Oh."
"That is OUR cause Efof. It's what WE want."
"Is it?"
Fferna took Efof's hand and gently placed it on her third breast.
Efof's skin went clammy and he gulped with nervous delight. "Yes. Yes
of course that's what we want." He smiled nervously, still groping at
her breast.
"Take him away!" Shouted Fferna. And the guards dragged Jay off the
bridge.
----------*Meanwhile in the lower deck*----------------------------------
Chris Harris had been given one of the worst jobs.
Unaware of what had happened on the Bridge, he had taken on the
responsibility of loading the nuclear bombs they had brought along
with them out of storage and loaded into Starbugs.
The problem that they hadn't planned for was that the Ffionian ships'
missile bays were of a different size to the Blue Dwarf's. So firing
the nukes from the Ffionian ships were impossible. They would have to
put a nuke on separate Starbugs, and then surround the planet and fire
them individually.
Harris looked nervously as a rickety-looking Ffionian fork-lift truck
picked up the last nuke and drive it slowly over to the last Starbug
that was waiting in line to receive it.
The four previous nukes had been loaded onto Starbugs and launched
already. It had been a nervous procedure. The nukes were heavy and
dangerous, if they were dropped they could explode or leak lethal
radioactive coolant onto the deck.
It was the last one that was always the most dangerous. The fork-lift
truck driver had grown cocky from four successful transfers, and was
looking forward to his teabreak. A slight slip in concentration and…
It happened.
The large nuke rolled off the fork-lift truck and hit the floor with a
smack. A crack formed and a green gas started to seep out.
Chris Harris coughed and spluttered. Alex nightshade, who had been
waving to the forklift truck driver got a full face full of the gas
and was unfortunately breathing in at the time. He collapsed and
Harris ran over trying to drag his limp body out of the way, but it
was too late, Harris noticed boils and burns on the young pilot's body
and the blood seeping out from his mouth. His lungs must have
ruptured. Harris covered his mouth with a piece of his sleeve and ran
to the far wall to radio for medical attention.
Harris spluttered more and radioed the bridge. "Bridge. We've got a
problem!"
Dr Keto entered the bay just before the huge metal doors sealed
themselves shut to protect the rest of the ship. He noticed the large
doors slamming behind him.
"Don't tell me you just trapped me in a room filling with radioactive
gas." He said with malice pointed directly towards Harris.
"Erm… yeah sorry."
------------------------------------------------------------
Who: Seymour, Mk9 and Barf
Where: On Barf's ship
When: Same time
"Look at the state of my suit!" said Seymour. "You've spilled your
robot grease all over it, it's ruined! Ruined I tell you!"
Mk9 looked indifferent. "You want sympathy? I've got no legs!!" he
shouted back.
Barf stood between them looking embarrassed.
Their small shuttle was one of the five that had been equipped with
the nuclear bombs. And they were poised in orbit of the Halkon
homeworld, ready to fire at any time. It was a ludicrous mission, and
they didn't know about Jay being thrown in the brigg, they were just
following their orders as they should.
Having a nuclear bomb onboard made them nervous. Mk9 earlier thought
it would be funny to climb atop of it and ride it as he had no legs,
but it started making a clicking noise from inside which made him scared.
"The sooner we get this bomb launched the better!" Seymour said callussly.
"How can you say that?" asked Mk9. "Launching it will kill thousands…
or millions!"
"Yes… but none of those millions include ME!" Seymour said, pointing
to the most important person he knew – himself.
Dent's voice broke them up. "Guys, a small meteorite just hit me in
the thrusters. We're spiralling out of control towards the planet's
surface."
Everyone was stunned into silence.
"Oh great, if things weren't bad enough – we're falling to our deaths
with an atomic bomb. If the crash doesn't kill us, the nuclear
explosion sure will!" Said Barf.
-----------------------------------------
The other four Starbugs, piloted by Matt Lister, Joe Craggins, Amber
Febuggure and Alicia Bevair watched as the small shuttle hurtled
towards the planet.
---------------------------------------------
Who: Jay Chrysler
Where: Brigg, Ffionian ship
When: Short time later
Jay looked up to see Phil Febuggure being escorted into his cell. A
Ffionian dressed as batman threw him to the floor.
Phil looked up angrily as the guard walked off. "Come back you geeky
nobhead!"
Phil looked at Jay's sullen expression, but was surprisingly upbeat.
"Don't worry jay, for I've brought THIS!"
He whipped out a file from his pocket. "They say you always need a
file to get out of jail right?"
"Yes, except it's an electronic forcefield."
"Oh bugger."
