Pancake blows up a ship
Who: Justin Pancake, Lester and Callum Kotchanski
Where: The "ugly" Blue Dwarf
When: After meeting the Esperanto-speaking Justin
The three engineers worked on the P.E.N.I.S, trying to get it fixed
as quick as possible. Lester opened up the control panel and poked
around at the device with a screwdriver in his mouth, whilst Callum
Kochanski slept on the floor, his hangover still wasn't cured yet.
Justin for a change was being useful. He pulled out the little
computer terminal and started typing in commands into the computer. At
first he just typed rude words to see what the computer would reply
with. Then he realised the process would go much quicker if he
actually did his work. He wanted to get this whole business over and
done with so that he could go back to his room and have a well
deserved wank.
SNIDE made some chirping noises and Justin looked at it. It chirped
some more.
"Lester, I think your little robot is trying to tell me something."
Lester grunted something and didn't look up from the P.E.N.I.S he was
fiddling with.
"What are you trying to say little fella?" Justin asked.
SNIDE chirped and its fragile little robot body jumped up and down.
"He says that he's translated what the other language was."
"Oh?" Justin said. "You mean the evil version of me that was going to
kill us all?"
"Yes. He says they were speaking Esperanto and wanted to give us lots
of gold, and share their beautiful wives."
"Pfff. I bet it was a rouse!"
"Then he said something strange." Said Lester, repeating the words
that SNIDE was saying to him via their neural connection.
"Something MORE strange than 'here, please use my beautiful wife?'"
"Yeah, well it doesnt really make sense. SNIDE says that he said to
you: 'Beware of the corridor of sexual perversions'. What does that mean?"
"How am I supposed to know? It's the ramblings of a madman!"
"What is the corridor of-"
"I have no idea." Said Justin. Then grinned. "But I'd love to go there!"
Somewhere buried in the mechanics of the P.E.N.I.S, Lester rolled his
eyes. Justin was like a teenager on heat.
A flashing light and a beep suddenly caused Lester to jump. He took a
step back and looked straight at Justin.
"What did you do?" He demanded.
"What?"
"What did you do. You pressed something."
"No... I didn't."
Callum woke from his slumber, there was something about the severity
of Lester's tone that worried him. "What's going on?"
"It's the kinetically neutralised octagonal batte-"
"K.N.O.B!" Justin said loudly with a grin.
"The K.N.O.B. It's becoming active... but I haven't finished yet."
Callum pushed him aside. The coolant mix isn't stable. It's going to blow.
"Blow?" Justin said, then both of the engineers looked at him. "I
didn't touch it!"
Callum typed a few commands on the computer screen. "Yes you did. It
says here that you logged in and activated it."
"It wasn't me!" Justin said defensively waving his palms in the air.
"I was slacking the whole time. Look, can't you just turn it off."
"No. The pressure will build and it will cause an explosion which will
destroy the entire ship." The looked at Justin accusingly.
"I really didn't do anything!"
"It says here quite clearly, that someone using your username and
password logged in, and activated it."
"I didn't! I wouldn't even know how to!"
"Are you sure? Are you sure you're not some kind of a spy trying to
thwart our every move?"
"I swear! I didnt do anything."
Callum nodded. "Okay. I think we better get off this ship!"
They ran to where they parked their Starbug, and quickly flew it out
of the hangerbay before the Blue Dwarf exploded behind them.
"Erm... do you think perhaps we should have warned the people
onboard?" Said Lester.
"Too late now!" Said Justin.
Justin felt something uncomfortable on his chair. He looked under his
bum and found a piece of paper. Written in plain English were the
words "Beware of the corridor of Infinite perversions".
Justin scrunched up the piece of paper and put it in his pocket.
"What's that you've got?" Asked Lester.
"Nothing." He said.
