Rosette - \"Joining the Party\"

<snip>
"It came from the Mollopods. I'm picking up a massive weapon signature...it's
currently reloading..."
"What else do they have to fire at?" Phil asked.
Jay looked at Phil.
Phil looked at Mk.10
Mk.10 looked at Jay.
"They've retargeted the weapon sir...at us..."

Rosette shook her head, and mentally punched herself. The sounds of the
Hymenoptera voices had disappeared, but before they'd gone, it was like an
entire planet screamed out... and were silenced. Unfortunately for her, at that
exact time, she had got to the science decks, and was currently standing above a
vat of acid. Strong acid.
"Oh my god, what the hell am i doing here?" she asked herself, moving away from
the barrels. A spiders leg retracted from the barrel, into her back. A single
hole in her shirt where it had come from. She began to make her way back up to
her room, to give back Amber's jacket... Somehow she'd ended up leaving it
there, and had no memory of where she'd gone since.
"This is the captain speaking!" Jay said over the comm systems again. "This is
to all Blue Dwarf Personnel, both on-ship and planet-side. If you can hear me,
disable or destroy that cannon! they're aiming at us!" Then the speaker went
dead, Jay had obviously finished, and had switched to hoping for a miracle.
He jabbed at the communications console, to Engineering. "Callum! Get that
wormhole drive up and running!" he yelled, then let go of the console to not
give him enough time to reply. He could only sit there while the weapons were
down, and the giant laser cannon slowly turned to face them.
Rosette burst into the medi-bay, and threw Amber's jacket at her. She'd already
been protesting the doctor keeping her there, and was mroe than pleased to make
her escape.
"I don't know how to fly, we need to help out on the planet!" Rosette said as
they ran, her mind running overdrive to keep the Hymenoptera within at bay, and
Amber's links to the Bugs meant she could sense that... Every moment, the bug
threatened to appear again...
