*Action* - "Temporal Terrapins" pt2
Posted byPosted: Aug 13, 2009, 6:26pm
Who: Lord Rapido of the Temporal Terrapin Alliance, and Slomo
Where: Somewhere hidden on the Blue Dwarf
When: Just after, but two months later for Slomo
When Slomo returned to the office of Lord Rapido, he was exhausted. He had now spent four months walking to and from Parrotts bar.
"Well?" Demanded the Lord.
"The weapon works, but only for a few seconds." Slomo said. If his body wasn't already on the ground, he would have feinted.
"Excellent! I have an army fitted with them already." Said Lord Rapido.
He slowly stepped out of his small command room onto a balcony that looked over his entire army.
Their entire base was actually inside a cargo container, not unlike the many hundreds that sat in the cargo deck. There they had waited for months without being noticed by anyone. They were too small to register on any lifesign scanners.
"My Terrapin Warriors!" Lord Rapido said to his men. "TODAY is the day we cause HAVOC on this ship!" Then he thought of something to ask Slomo, so half turned around. "How long does it take to get to that Human bar?"
"Two months."
"Okay my Terrapin Warriors, for YOU... the day is in two months, but THEN you will cause havoc on this ship!"
They shouted and jeered without any enthusiasm, then took ten minutes turning around. Then they disappeared, each activating their temporal decelerators and embarking on the two month hike to Parrotts bar, which they reached instantly.

Who: Seymour, Jay, Admiral Phillips, Dr Keto
Where: Parrotts Bar
When: Two months later for the Terrapin warriors, now for the rest of us
Dr Keto jumped onto his medical Psi-scanner, which was now several times larger than he was.
"Is this going to hurt?" Seymour asked, as he stood in front of the massive device.
"Maybe." Said Dr Keto. "I've never tried it on anyone so small before. The radio signals it uses to scan your body might cook you alive."
But before Seymour could protest against this, Keto had stomped down on the "activate" button and was performing a scan on Seymour.
"Oooh it tingles." Seymour said.
Dr Keto looked at the massive screen of results on the hand-held gadget.
"No idea what it was. Maybe it was a case of involuntary muscle spasm?" He said.
"No! Something made us punch each other!" Seymour said.
A turtle appeared behind Dr Keto and quickly fired a laser into his back, just before disappearing. Keto's eyes glistened, and he leaped off the device, his fist slamming down into Seymour's face.
"Oh yeah, I see what you mean." Said Keto, whilst Seymour writhed in agony on the floor.
"Did anyone else see that turtle?" Said Vanessa. "It appeared, and then disappeared really quickly."
"Turtles don't usually do that." Agreed Keto. "And I don't need to be a vet to tell you that."
"Invasion!" Shouted Jay, who was still not yet sober. "Invasion! Aliens! How did they get onboard?"
"Get Holly to scan for alien life-forms." Said Seymour.
A lot of funny looks and laughs reminded Seymour that Holly wasn't working at the moment. Wolfgang even did a spacca-face.
"Ah yes. I knew that." Said Seymour. "Just testing you all."
"I could scan with this psi-scanner." Said Keto. "But not the entire ship. If we plug it into a power source maybe we can."
"But... it's huuuuge!" Said Jay.
"Indeed. I'm not carrying that!" Said Seymour.
<OOC Tag to everyone who wants to take part. Here's some goals to achieve... get the Psi-scanner to scan the entire ship and find the Terrapin's base. The Terrapins will keep on making us punch each other. We can then go find the base, even though we're really small and getting there might be difficult... so things aren't easy for us right now! >
