"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...

Who: Efof Yuwan'Kar
Where: A Blue Midget between the 'Dwarf's
When: After escaping from the Jupiter Miming Chimps
Efof was busily picking his nose on the flight back to his own Blue
Dwarf when a new mass blasted into the universe in front of him. He
quickly managed to get his hands out of his pants in tim to steer
away from it.
He turned his small craft to travel parallel along the new Blue
Dwarf's hull, it was pretty destroyed and some of the battle damage
looked like it had happened a long time ago, and some looked recent.
"I'm glad I don't live in that universe." Said Efof. "Things look
pretty rough."
Then something caught his eye that caused shivers down his wobbly
Ffionian spine. It was the same thing that kept him awake at nights,
the same thing that had killed his family and friends hundreds of
years ago.
He jabbed the radio with shaky hands. "Jay? I mean Captain."
The crackly voice of the Captain in the Blue Dwarf's drive-room came
back. "Yes Efof?"
"There's something out here that you should really see."
"Efof, I'm kind of busy. I have to coordinate lots of away teams all
on multiple versions of the Blue Dwarf, and that is quite confusing!
It's not hard being Captain you know."
"I know I know, but... this is quite important."
"My dead wife just locked weapons on me and tried to blow us all sky
high. Is it more important than that?"
"Yes."
"What is it?"
"I'm just flying past the new Blue Dwarf that came in... that
destroyed one. Well there's a ship crashed into the back of it."
"And?"
"It's green and slimy and ... insecty."
"What does that mean?"
"It means it looks like a giant insect."
Jay was silent.
"Jay. Hello? Did you hear me?"
"Efof. Do you think it's..."
"Definitely." Efof gulped.
Jay took a deep breath. "Efof. I want you to check it out. Land on
their ship and check it out."
"Just me?! But wouldn't you rather send anyone more... brave?"
"You'll do a good job, I'm sure of it."
"Um... okay."
"I'll send over some more teams to back you up."
Efof made a whimper and agreed. He landed in the damaged Blue Dwarf's
landing bay and slowly prepared his scanner and bazukoid, hoping that
someone else would arrive quickly so that he didn't have to check it
out alone.
<Tag anyone want to join up with Efof to hunt some Hymenoptera?>
