Dysart- 'They call me 'Captain' Dysart!'
<Snip>
Now sir, we need to get to the Wormhole Drive, try to find out what happened to the crew and see if we can get them back,' Parkur told him.
'Great, sounds like a piece of cake,' Dysart sighed and began the laborious job of reconnecting his hips. </Snip>
Who: Dysart, Parkur, Teasmade and Peewee
Where: Warp Drive core
When: Fifteen minutes before action post
"This is it?"
A massive two-part generator stretched out before them for roughly a kilometer. The rag-tag team of mechanoids stood on the ever-so slightly swaying railing system as they slightly beheld the mining-vessel's life source. Dysart's holographic form held strong despite the damage to his system. His legs where a little bit wonky but it wasn't anything that lester couldn't fix if need be.
"That's correct sir." Parkour piped in, his index finger extending out and pointing down the rail. "If you'll just follow me to the core control room. I'll need a registered crew officer to activate it... you are an officer, aren't you?" With that, he gave a beckoning gesture and toddled down the cat-walk. The metal walk-frame shivering ever-so-slightly at his uneven gait.
"Heh... I can be if I want to...." A knowing grin stretched across Dysart's face as he followed. Although his hologram didn't show it, his walk was just as uneven as Parkour's.
Without too much fan-fare a single apartment sized control room came into viewing distance. A minute later and they were inside and looking over all the wonderfully shiny buttons.
"This must be the core controls here." The hacker stated, strolling over to the cornucopia of switches and bottoms.
"Ohhhh! Isn't this exciting! We're going back to where the crew is!" Teasmade high pitched but mercifully muffled voice suddenly piped up. "... Where is the crew anyway?"
Dysart shrugged uncertainly. Although 'officially' part of the crew he never really felt part of the team. "We where at planet mollopod last. Does anyway happen to have a doomsday weapon that they happen to be launched to the surface when we get there?"
He asked them in the same tone of voice one would ask a neighbor for a cup of sugar.
"Uhhh... no?" Parkour mumbled before taking a few choice steps away from the holographic robot.
"Well, I had to ask anyway." Disappointed but not devastated the simulation human shrugged and placed his hands on the control panel. The skeletal metal hands ticked and danced around the nobs and switches before noticing a particularly large control panel with 'jack-in point here' spray painted in yellow. Huh, must have a fellow hacker amongst the engineering crew.
A half second later and his hands where already at work attempting to pry the panel away from the delicate innards.
A soft, pensive voice filled the room like a growing white noise. "My travels where swiftly coming to an end. The crew would be found- I can't help but feel that this is all but a-."
"You, peewee, shut up." Dysart didn't even look at him. A metallic crack issued as the panel came free. A smile once more graced the AI's face as he observed the multiple points of entry. This was far better than any minimally interfaced vending machine- this point was like having a finger on the very electronic pulse of the ship.
"Alright... just a few tweaks... good bye 1st technician Dysart- Hello CAPTAIN Dysart!"
"Oh congratulations on your promotion, sir!"
"Shut up Teasmade." Parkour jointed in surprise when he discovered those words came from HIS mouth!
"Emergency... there is an Emergency going on." Holly's droning voice rolled over the tanoy with all the urgency of a bloodhound's morning face.
"Huh, that didn't take long." The Hacker admitted, standing slowly, one hand pulling itself away from the control panel and the other dusting himself off; sounding like a metallic washing board while doing so.
"I haven't even started the engine yet. *Sigh* What's wrong Holly?"
"Ah, Captain Dysart. The ship appears to be surrounded by a large number of highly dangerous escaped inmates. Each and everyone one of them have the same record of murder, arson and grand theft star craft. I've just cut off ship access from them. Orders, sir?"
Apparently he seemed about as off put about this still situation as he'd ever been. Just another day at work. With the daily goings-on with the Blue Dwarf it was a wonder that he wasn't going all out rampant let alone this awkward grip on sanity that he had.
A small metal 'pang' issued as Dysart slapped himself on the forehead in frustration.
"*Sigh* Great, more crazies outside. Listen, maybe they'll just leave us alone. If they try to board... well... make sure they don't. Oh and Holly? This is an order from your new Captain. Try to cheer up a bit- Smile! Laugh!"
"...As you wish sir." Holly took a moment to consider the new order. "*Ahem* 'AH-HEHEHEHEHEHE...." The Ship's AI seemed about as eager for this new personally change as getting a jimmy hook shoved up his nails. If he had any.
The holographic captain frowned slightly at the local tanoy system before letting out a sigh and shrugging. "... Alright... kinda psychotic but I'll take what I can get. Carry on, Holly."
"Very good, sir." Holly noted before signing off.
He gave the speaker system a dismissive wave before turning back to the small crew of robot's he'd assembled.
"Alright, let's get to the pent house suites. I always wanted to crash in Seymour's bed!" Dysart's hand lifted up and cupped his chin while eyes looked up dreamily. He imaged the softer-than-soft bed that awaited his aching frame.
"And... what about the engines sir?" Parkour mumbled mutely, pointing his scanner at the controls just behind him.
Dysart took a cursory look behind him before letting out a boisterous laugh. Noticing that they wheren't laughing along with him he quickly stopped before giving a dismissive shrug. "Eh... we've got the run of the ship! Why try and hurry along a good thing?"
<Alright, so here's how it happened. Tag!>
OOC:- MY. GOD. It's been a long time since I posted. I'm getting lazier and lazier.
So yes, Dysart is the reason that Holly is trying to kill everyone. When he changed his rank to 'captain' he accidentally changed everyone's rank to 'inmate'. Whoops.
Oh by the way.
STEBBING IS GONE. GONE!! Lester has vanished off the face of Blue Dwarf. Lester was my favorite character... I think I'm going to go cry...
