Who:- Jay, DeanWhere:- Jay's office"Your old job's recently re-opened Dean" Jay said"Cheif of navigation?" Dean repliedJay paused for a minute, then broke into a raucous laugh."What...?" Dean said, nervously. "I WAS CNO over on MY Blue Dwarf!"Jay wiped a tear from his eye as he tried to bring his chuckles under control. "What kind of lunatic do you take me for?" Jay said "CNO? YOU?! Nah, that's Amber's job. Your old Deputy job though is yours if you want it""guess it's better than nothing..." Dean muttered "But you really don't think I could be CNO?""Dean, you broke the landing gear on, and nearly ejected your deputy out of your starbug just trying to land..""I don't see...""Captain!" came a voice over the com suddenly. "We've got another Dwarf coming in, this one looks in bad shape, it's sending out a distress signal, I think it might need assistance.."Jay nodded to Dean and the pair exited the captains office out into the drive room. "I'm really not cut out for this shit...." Jay muttered to himself "Hail them..." he said to Ashley the Blonde, the Lieutenant who was at the communications console.The screen flickered, as the new Blue Dwarf's communications equipment struggled to cope with it's task. It was, quite frankly, shot to buggery, still an image slowly filled the screen."This is Captain Chrysler of the JMC Blue Dwarf!" came a voice between the crackles of static."We're being pursued! You have to close the vortex, or whatever it was that brought us here."Jay was staring hard at the screen, unblinking. It seemed that the new Blue Dwarf hadn't yet managed to get it's view screen working as it's captain didn't seem able to see him, and was repeatedly smacking the side of the screen to 'encourage' it to work.Jay opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. "Hello? Please respond!" came the voice of the newly arrived captain again."A......Alota....." said Jay, as he stared into the eyes of his late wife through the viewscreen."Who is this...please, close the wormhole!""If we do that, we won't be able to return anyone back to their own universe!" Jay replied."LOOK AT MY SHIP! Look at the condition it's in, does it look like it comes from a place that I'm in any hurry to go back to?""Alota, listen...""How do you know my name, who the hell are you?""I'm Captain...." Jay didn't finish, as Alota's screen started working and Jay's image appeared on her screen for the first time."Oh no...." she said shaking her head, her voice shaking in terror. "Not you..ANYONE BUT YOU!" "What? Alota...what do you mean, it's me, Jay,...you introduced your self as Captain Chrysler so one can only assume that I'm your husband in your universe too...""You WERE my husband" she snapped back. "Until you turned traitor and sided with them...""Who...?" Jay asked "Wait....no...you don't mean....""The Hymenoptera..." Alota finished. "You destroyed everything that I ever cared about..""Not ME" Jay corrected "YOUR Jay, YOUR Jay destroyed everything!""If it can happen to him it can happen to you!" She turned to one of her crew members behind her, it was a robot who Jay assumed was Mk.10, but he looked different like he'd been upgraded even further than his own resident scutter. "Mk. 43!" She barked, "OPEN FIRE ON CAPTAIN CHRYSLERS BLUE DWARF!!"A volleyt of missles, presumably Alota's blue dwarf's only piece of equipment that still worked properly fired from the turret guns that lined the dorsal hull, exploding of Jay's ships hull."Alota, STOP, your making a mistake!""LIAR! You'll destroy us like you destroyed everything else!""ALOTA LISTEN, LOOK AT MY SHIP AND COMPARE IT TO YOURS, If we fought, you wouldn't stand a chance, my ship is in prime condition, your's is barely holding itself together, if I was going to destroy you, you'd be space dust by now."Alota thought for a second. "Hold fire!" she ordered to Mk.43. "Fine" she said sternly. "but there is no way in God's black space I am going back to my universe. Close the portal now" "I can't do that, new ships are being pulled through every second, I don't know what would happen if I closed it while they were still being pulled in by my P.E.N.I.S.....or what would happen to ships already here""Well let me tell you what will happen if he follows us here, which he will, have no doubt about it, if...when he follows us, he will wipe everything you ever loved out of existence. Could you handle that, Captain?""I lost what I loved a long time ago Alota..." Jay said, remembering Alota's last moments in this universe. Presumably, in her's she had never been killed, but her version of him also never shook Evil Jay out of his mind, never took back control, presumably he went on to destroy Earth, and just got more and mor edeadly from there. Alota was therefore terrified of any version of Jay she met. Jay didn't blame her, but he thought it best to keep to himself at the moment the fact that a few years ago he too had been the one trying to destroy THIS universe, and it was only due to his Alota's sacrifice that he ever broke his counterparts hold on him..."Why don't you and crew come over here. And we'll discuss your...situation.." Jay offered "I can send repair crews over, medical supplies and food if you need it."Alota accepted reluctantly. "Fine, but don't blame me when he follows us here.""He won't, it seems only Blue Dwarves are able to traverse the whatever it is that brought you here."Jay hoped to god he was right...
