Efof - Paying the Krylons a visit

Who: Kara and Efof
Where: SS Enlightenment v0.22 BETA
When: As the Krylons board the ship
"Thanks." Said Kara. "But watch out, these guys have brought holo-
whips."
"What's a holo-whip?" Efof asked, second before one whipped him in
the back and he disappeared. Leaving Kara alone again.
Kara ducked, but a second Krylon whipped her in the back of the head.
Her digital form exploded and vanished.
She appeared next to Efof only 20 metres away, but with enough
bulkheads between them and the Kryons to be safe... for now.
"This is horrible... dying over and over again." Efof said.
"Yes. Tell me about it, it was bad enough the first time." Said Kara.
"Oh yeah, how did you die? You'll have to tell me about that some
time." Efof asked, as if it was the most normal question in the
world. Kara ignored him for a bit and checked a wall-mounted
display. "The Krylons just keep bringing more and more soldiers
onboard."
"So what? We can't die."
"Well each time they kill us they get closer and closer to the
central light bee. We can't keep them off forever."
Efof looked down at his feet. Then up again. "Well why don't stop
them at the source."
"How do you mean?"
"We blow up their ship."
"How, there are like.. a zillion soldiers between us and there!"
"We're holograms remember!"
"Hey, watch it alien-boy, I've been a hologram for far longer than
you have!" Kara snapped.
Efof rolled his eyes.
"Holly? What's the furthest away from the ship that you can project
us?"
There was no response from Holly for a few seconds, and then his
holographic 3D head appeared right in front of him. This took Efof by
surprise.
"Dunno. How far do you want to go?"
"To the Krylon ship." Efof said.
"No problem." Said Holly. And beamed them 200 metres outside their
own ship. Unfortunately it was 200 metres in the wrong direction.
Efof and Kara appeared in space, with no floor underneath them. They
could see the Enlightenment, spinning in space looking like a giant
banana. Attached to it's furthest end was the Krylon ship, an
extended gangplank where more robots crossed.
"I don't think this is right." said Kara quite calmly. Efof however
was flapping about and panicking. He was holding his breath.
"Efof! You're a hologram remember, you don't need to breath!"
Efof quickly calmed and opened his mouth. "Oh yeah." They floated for
a few moments before they were beamed back into the ship.
"Sorry about that." Said Holly. "I'm fighting a virus and my
directional algorithms are out of sync. Here let me try that again."
They next materialised in the centre of the Krylon ship surrounded by
rows of partially assembled Krylons. A large robot arm was assembling
each on as if they were part of an Airfix kit.
Three partially assembled robots turned to notice them.
"Whose idea was this again?" Asked Kara.
Efof gulped.
