Pancake and Pancake - Part 2

Who: Justin Pancake and the OTHER Justin Pancake. I think I shall
call him "JP"
Where:in a Blue Midget, and then on another BD
Do you think little people like us get to talk to the Emperor
directly?" said JP, talking down to our Justin.
"Maybe?"
"Well no! The Emperor has a lot of people working for him. Some of
them are Hymenoptera... some are like me."
"And what is the General?"
"He's both."
"What?" Said Justin. "Is he Hymenoptera or is he a Human?"
"Both." Said the alternate Justin, and carried on walking towards a
Blue Midget. "You'll see soon." he shouted, and urged Justin to
follow him.
Justin watched out of the window as his alternate from another
universe mastered the Blue Midget like a professional. He was a
slacker and had never learned how to properly pilot a spaceship. He
had only known about the inner-workings of a Blue Midget when JP had
telepathically told him to sabotage it.
"Oh yeah…" asked Justin. "What's with this telepathic thing… "
"What about it." Asked JP without looking up from the computerised
dashboard.
"Well… is it something I can do?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because it is a gift given to us by the Hymenoptera."
"Oh."
"They may look like monsterious beings, but they are actually very
skilled at genetics. There are several thousand breeds of
Hymenoptera, all created by selective breeding and genetic
manipulation."
"Oh said Justin." Then added. "I always thought you had to be a
scientist to do genetic manipulations… I always thought anyway."
JP gave him a stern look. "Our masters ARE scientists."
"Oh. I thought they were big stompy monsters that explode into a mess
of green goo when you explode them."
JP stopped and faced Justin sharply. "Our masters are all powerful!
You should treat them with respect. And never EVER talk about
exploding them Especially to the General."
"Oh yes who is he again?"
"You will meet him soon enough." JP looked away and piloted their
Blue Midget out into space. Several spacebattles were going on around
the alternate Blue Dwarf's. Starbugs, Space Eagles and Blue Midgets
were being used to defend the Blue Dwarfs against Hymenoptera
fighters.
JP piloted their craft through the spacebattle (making Justin
nervous) and into one of the other Blue Dwarf's.
"What are you doing?" Justin screamed as JP flew alongside
Hymenoptera fighters.
"We cannot go back to The General empty handed." He said.
"Oh. Can't we just bring him a bottle of wine or something?" Justin
quipped, but JP didn't find this funny.
"NO. Definitely not."
"Why?"
"The General doesn't drink."
"Why?"
"Because he is part Hymenoptera. If he drank it would kill him."
"Poor guy!" Justin said. "I can't imagine not drinking."
JP scowled at him. "You will learn to hate alcohol once you are fully
one of us."
Justin raised his eyebrows. "Woah, hold on. What makes you think I
WANT to be one of you?!!"
JP's eyes squinted. "Because you are just like me."
"Only a little bit."
"Only a little bit yes. I am a savage killer, trained by the
Hymenoptera. I work for the General and do the bidding of Emperor
Chrysler without remorse." Said JP. "You on the other hand are a
stupid layabout with no motivation. You get drunk far too often and
are just….."
"Useless?" Justin asked.
"Yes. Useless. You are very useless."
Justin paused for a moment. "You don't like me very much do you?"
JP landed their Blue Midget and they got out. A swarm of Hymenoptera
were killing the inhabitants of this Blue Dwarf, much the same as in
the one they had just left.
"So what is this gift we're getting for the General?" Justin asked. I
don't mind doing some minor shoplifting as long as those Hymenoptera
of yours keep the local Security officers off my back.
JP pulled out an electronic device which looked like a tiny radar
screen and gave it to Justin.
"What's this for?" Justin asked. "It looks like it's pointing to
something. What is it?"
"It is a tracking device." Said JP. "It will show you where this
ship's Jay Chrysler is."
"Oh…. Um… thanks." Said Justin. "Do you want me to go and talk to
him?"
"I want you to go and capture him." Said JP.
"What?! Again?"
"What do you mean `Again'? Said JP. You failed on your last mission,
so this time you cannot fail."
Justin moved his shoulders up and down. "I'm not sure I want to. Can
I say no? I don't think I'm very good at this business of kidnapping
people. Especially starship Captains."
JP gave him a steely glare and shook his head. "If you don't do this.
I will kill you."
"Oh." Said Justin.
The walked off towards the direction of the turbolift. The device in
Justins hand told him that the Jay Chrysler on this ship was on floor
388.
Justin turned to see that his alternate wasn't gong to come with
him. "What if I need help?" He called back. Then he got his answer in
his mind. JP was always going to be with him telepathically.
Justin got into the turbolift and then after a deep breath said. "Jay
Chrysler, I'm coming to get you!"
<Can anyone stop Justin? It is weird working for the baddies! I
haven't said which BD we're on, so if you want to join in you are
welcome to invent whichever quirks this parallel universe crew has>
