Efof - "Kamazaze Coccinellas"

Who: Efof Yuwan'Kar
Where: In a Blue Midget, heading towards the Jamaican Mining Ship
(Blue Dwarf #786)
When: After Emperor Jay decided he only needed Jay PRIME.
Space was frantic. And this was quite unusual for space, as it
normally contained vast empty gaps of nothingness. But here, there
were something like a thousand Blue Dwarf's, swarmed upon by what
seemed like hundreds of thousands of smaller Hymenoptera ships,
buzzing around them like flies.
Efof had a hard time seeing what was going on, until he saw the
explosions. Two Blue Dwarf's exploded into white-hot fireballs in the
distance, and then so did one much closer to him. He had to swerve
his small ship to avoid it. Efof didn't loose much time, he quickly
hooked up to the other Blue Midgets, Starbugs and Space Eagles in the
area via Skype.
"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" He asked. A torrent of replies came
back in the affermative.
Efof watched as a fat Hymenoptera ship coloured like a ladybird flew
straight past him. He kicked himself for not noticing it
earlier. "I've just spotted one of them. It's a Coccinella-class
Hymenoptera shuttle filled with explosives."
Efof watched as it made a bee-line towards the closest Blue Dwarf to
him. He accelerated towards it and held his finger down on his gun
trigger until the Coccinella-class exploded into a red fireball (with
cute little black spots).
"I got one, but there's hundreds more!" Efof screamed over the radio.
Then he pressed a few quick buttons to radio back to base.
"Jay! Jay.... I mean... Captain Chrysler!" He called. After just a
quick pause, Jay's voice came through his speakers.
"Yes Efof. What is it?"
"The Hymenoptera seem to have given up raiding all these ships. Now
they're just ramming them with ships filled with explosives."
"Shit."
"Yeah a bit. We can stop some of them, but I've just noticed
something."
"What is it?"
"There's another wave of ships coming from the Thorax heading towards
you. I know I'm not very bright but I think it's quite obvious....
Evil Jay doesn't want the other Jay Chrylser's any more... it looks
like he's only after you."
There was silence on the other end.
"Jay?"
"I'm still here. We'll get ready for attack. Thanks for letting me
know. Do whatever you can to shoot down the ships coming for us."
Efof fidgeted uncomfortably. "Well that's the thing... We don't have
enough fighters out here to stop the Hymies from blowing everyone up
AND stopping them from getting to you."
"Oh."
"So which shall we do?"
Efof waited for a response.
