Pancake, a dragonfly and a stripper

<snip>
Justin brought the gadget up to his face for a closer look. "This must be one of
the Temporal Terrapin's little devices!" he said. "I've frozen time. Wahoo!"
He walked past Jayne, and the open forcefield. "Be seeing you!" he said to her
frozen body, and walked out of the door. Then he came back in with a cheeky red
face. "Sorry... but I always wanted to do this..."
He squeezed her boob. Then felt uncomfortable and a bit ashamed of himself, so
he ran away.

Who: Justin Pancake
Where: Blue Dwarf
When: Before the Starbug took off, in paused time
Justin walked along the Promenade, walking bravely past the armed Security
guards. He grinned to them and slapped one on the side of the face. "Couldn't
put me away for long eh?" He smirked.
The guard remained frozen in time.
As he walked away he slapped the ass of a female engineer bending over to repair
some pipes on the Promenade.
When he was enough of a distance away from danger, Pancake unpaused time and
allowed it to continue at it's normal pace. He was worried that he'd overload
the device with use, or pausing tiem would affect him in some way. He didn't
want to catch time-cancer. He'd heard about that. It makes you age in weird
ways. One day you'll grow a large beard and be trimming your ear-hair, the next
day you'll be crapping weird yellow poo into a nappy and have a craving for
breastmilk.
Thinking of breastmilk, Justin passed a sexy woman on the Promenade. She was
handing out fliers for the seedy "Club Fister". Forgetting himself, Justin went
up to the woman and reached out to touch her boobs.
"Oi! hands off!" Shouted the woman.
"Sorry luv!" Said Justin. "I didn't realise you could move!"
"What? What kind of sick pervert are you that prefers women that don't move? Do
you go around drugging them and dragging them back to your pervert nest you sick
smegger?!"
"No... I..." Justin couldn't think of a decent way to explain himself and just
remained quiet. "I do prefer girls that move. I'll come by the club later."
"No you won't you sick bastard!"
"I'll pay you all some good tips!" He said walking away.
"You better do!" She called after him.
Justin jumped into an Express-lift Elevator.
"Medibay." He called out.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Who: Justin and Keto
Where: Medibay
When: Few minutes later
"Hey, that's my pet!" Justin called out to Dr Keto, who was holding a clear
plastic tub with his dragonfly inside.
"What?" Said Keto startled.
"It's my pet dragonfly called Dave!"
"I....urr....I'm keeping it for an experiment." Said Keto.
"You better not experiment on Dave!" Justin said, walking closer. Keto backed
off, and held the tub closer to his body.
"Stay out of matters that don't concern you Pancake." Shouted Keto. "This
Dragonfly is of great importance to the scientific community."
"He's mine. He's my pet. I named him."
"He's a Hymenoptera hybrid." Said Keto.
Justin grinned. "That's why I like him!" he said.
Keto scowled, he'd forgotten about Justin's weird obsession with the
Hymenoptera. "Well you can't have him, I've contacted a bidder-"
All Keto saw was Justin fiddling in his pocket and then suddenly the plastic tub
was in Justin's grasp.
Keto looked down at his empty hands. "How did you do that?"
"I'm quick!" Said Justin. He opened the tub and let the dragonfly out. It flew
around the room and then settled on Justin's shoulder.
"See. He likes me!" Said Justin, and then vanished. Really really quickly.
"Be careful!" Shouted Keto after him. "Hymenoptera are evil!"

Who: Justin and Cassandra
Where: Club Fister
When: Half and hour later
Pancake walked into the strip club with a big grin on his face. A place where
naked women danced just for him, this was like his dream.
In his hand he held a string, which was tied around "Dave" the half-Hymenoptera
dragonfly. The insect didn't seem to mind being kept on a lead, and close to
Justin.
Pancake got a drink and sat down next to a pole, where a stripper danced for
him.
"What's your name?" Justin asked.
"Cassandra." She replied, as slid down the pole. "What's with the insect on a
lead?"
"Oh that's Dave. Don't let him bother you." He said, and continued watching the
show.
As she danced, Cassandra kept making mistakes and loosing concentration on what
she was doing. "Is everything alright?" Justin asked.
"Not really." Said Cassandra, and came to sit down next to him. He bought her a
drink.
"I owe my boss fifteen thousand dollarpounds." She said miserably.
"Oh." Said Justin, and kept his eyes forward. "Well... you know I'm not going to
tip you that much. I only have a twenty on me."
She laughed, but it was mirthless. "I know. I just don't know what do do about
it. I keep working, hoping that a generous Millionaire would just walk through
those doors right now."
As she said that, Dr Keto walked through the door wearing his white doctors
coat. He looked around.
"Uh oh." Said Justin.
Keto spotted him before Justin could reach the temporal device in his pocket.
"PANCAKE!" Keto shouted.
"What?!" Justin said, moaning like a teenager.
"Give me back that Hymenoptera hybrid right now. I've lined up a buyer for it."
"But you can't sell Dave!"
"Of course I can. I'm selling him for biogenetic research to a company called
TransMed."
"Who are those loosers?" Said Justin.
"Those loosers are a first-rate multi-million dollarpound industry creating
genetic experiments and pushing forward the boundaries of medical science."
"Oh."
"Between you an me, they're a bit dodgey. They abducted Captain Calvert once
they realised he was Half Hymenoptera. And they're the ones who 'accidentally'
turned Rosette into a half-Hymenoptera too."
Justin's eyes shot open as he heard this. "Wait, what? They can tun people into
Hymenoptera?"
"They 'accidentally' turned Rosette into half-Hymenoptera yes." Keto admitted.
"And they're willing to pay me fifteen thousand dollarpounds for that
dragonfly."
"Fifteen?" Said Cassandra, butting in.
Keto nodded.
"Tell me more about the fifteen thousand dollarpounds." Cassandra said.
"Tell me more about this magical company that can turn you into a Hymenoptera!"
Said Justin.
Keto said nothing, and snatched the string tied to the Dave the dragonfly, and
pulled it away as he walked off.
"Where is this TransMed place?" Justin called after him.
Keto shrugged. "No idea. Ask Rosette." He said.
"Wait. That dragonfly's worth fifteen thousand dollarpounds!" Said Cassandra.
<Tag Cassandra? There's one option where you could get your money. You just have
to get Dave from Keto>
