Efof - \"Awaiting the crew\'s return\" pt 2

<OOC - okay I cocked up in my last post. The only shuttles that
survived were the ones that had landed in the Shellite ship, and I've
just destroyed them! This post will attempt to correct this situation!
>
Who: Efof, Jay and Keto
Where: Blue Dwarf, Flight deck
When: Just after the Shellite ship landed
Efof looked around the Flightdeck, swarms of people were milling
around, having only minutes earlier disembarked from Jay's Shellite
ship.
Jay saw Keto fall from the ruins of the Starbug and grabbed him by
the lapels of his medical tunic. "You moron! Do you know what you've
done? You've crashed into the ship that was transporting all of the
Starbugs from the planet!"
Keto pulled himself angrily from the Navigation officer's grip. "Well
if you were going to park it right in the middle of the flightdeck!"
He said.
"But look... " Jay gestured around the runway. "You had all this
space, and you crash into the one ship that's the most important.
We've lost all of the Starbugs!"
"Not exactly all of the Starbugs..." Said Efof, tugging at his
superior officer's sleeves. "We managed to unload three."
"Three." Jay said, not taking his eyes off Keto. "We have three
Starbugs left on the entire ship?"
Efof nodded. "And the Blue Midget with the wobbly legs. Oh, and a
spare Space Eagle that we didn't use because it's air-con wasn't
working."
Jay sagged his shoulders.
"But, we have the Raven right?" Efof asked.
Jay was silent.
"Y'know the raven? Big fat shuttle, one of a kind?" Efof said
hopefully.
"We left it behind." Said Jay.
"Oh." Efof said, and after a pause said "That's a shame."
Jay looked at Keto again. "So how come you flew that Starbug all the
way here with no fuel?"
Keto beamed "Ointment 3592. it does 0 – lightspeed in 6.2 seconds.
Shame I first tested it on a patient's liver."
Jay cringed, and turned to leave the flightdeck, leaving Efof and Dr
Keto. There was a lengthy silence between them, eventually Efof
pointed an accusing finger at Keto and mocked childishly: "Yoo
wrecked the Starbugs!"
"I'm a doctor not a pilot!" He said, and stormed off towards the
medibay.
