*Action* - The infidel (part1)

Who: Efof, Katrina, Jack and Phil
Where: The planet, in the swamp
When: After they started walking towards the crashed ship
<snip>
"So what do we do now?" Asked Efof.
They all looked in the direction of the crash site, wandering if it was safe to
go on foot.
But they didn't had too much of a choice...
<end snip>
The small team had all decided to walk to the crash site. The air on the planet
was thin, so this long hike already had everyone gasping for breath.
Efof bounded ahead like an excited puppy, but waited when he realised everyone
else was struggling. He dropped back and walked alongside Phil, who gave him
suspicious glances.
"So have you gotten used to walking with a wanted war-criminal yet?" Efof said.
Phil gritted his teeth. "Everytime I see you I'm reminded of General Yuwan'ker,
leader of the FAG Army, conqueror or worlds and massacrer of Humans."
"Get over it!" Efof said. "I'm not from your parallel universe. I'm not a
General. I'm not a massacrer, and I'm definitely not a leader of FAGs!"
Phil laughed. "F.A.G. Ffionian Allied Guard." He said. "An advanced army that
worked with Lord Nipples to try and enslave the Human race."
Efof shrugged.
"Also..." Said Phil. "We didn't call it the 'parallel universe'. We pretty just
called it ...'the universe'."
"Yeah but... it is parallel though." Said Efof.
"But it's not the parallel universe." Said Phil. "This universe is the parallel
universe."
"No it isn't!" Said Efof. "This is the proper one!"
"No! Mine is the proper one!" Phil shouted back.
"Well mine's not full of FAGs." Efof said.
Phil nodded, he could see this conversation going on for the rest of his life
unless he stopped. "When I left the universe, the war was 50/50. General
Yuwan'Kar and Lord Nipples had been driven away from Earth, but there was a
threat he'd come back with an even greater army."
"Sounds scary." Said Efof. "I bet you're glad you left when you did."
Phil didn't know how to answer that.
Efof looked up. The crashed ship was really close now. The tail end of the
ruined craft was sticking up out of the ground, and smoke billowed up into the
sky.
They prized the thick metal door off the ship and threw it to one side. They
entered the ship, shining torches to see in the dark.
The ship was larger than they had expected. It had rooms pointing off in
different directions. They agree to split up to search every room. Phil wandered
into the forward section away from everyone else.
He bend down to pick up a devices which he had accidentally kicked with his toe.
It was the size of a pen. "Selective Memory Wiper" He said, reading the
inscription. "I wonder what that's for..."
"Give me that you idiotic commoner!" Said a familiar voice next to him. He felt
the pen swiped out of his hand, and he caught a glimpse of a bearded face. "It's
you! Lord Nipp-" Was all he could say before the memory wiper was waved in front
of his face, and a red light startled him.
When Phil opened his eyes again, he saw the team stood over him looking worried.
There was Katrina the Captain girlfriend, Efof the blue alien, Jack the
Frenchman and Ambassador Seymour Niples. He blinked again. "Seymour?"
Efof helped him up. "Yeah, we found Seymour here. Turns out, it's his shuttle!"
"Why... why aren't you in a Starbug?" Phil asked.
"I've been to see Queen Brittany on the Mollopod Homeworld." Seymour announced.
"They gave me this shuttle, it's much safer than those common Starbug
deathtraps!"
Katrina laughed. "It doesn't look like it. You crashed!"
"Oh yes?" Said Seymour. "Where's your Starbug then?"
"Touché!"
Katrina looked at the Royal Ambassador. Something was different. "New
moustache?"
Seymour rubbed the pencil-thin moustache which sat on his upper lip. "Ahh yes, I
fancied a change."
"And nice.... jumper!" Katrina said, and laughed. Seymour was wearing a black
and white stripy jumper. Also on his head was a beret, he was a string of onions
away from being a stereotypical Frenchman.
"It's the latest fashion on Mollopod." Seymour said. "Problem?"
"No, of course not Mr touchy!"
Seymour ignored her. "So. Do you have any plans on getting back to the Tarten
Sprite?" He said.
"To the what?" Said Efof.
"To the Tarten Sprite!" Seymour repeated.
"You mean the Blue Dwarf?" Said Efof.
"Oh yes, of course. Silly me!" Said Seymour.
"Well we have this short range teleporter..." Said Phil.
"Excellent." Said Seymour.
They each grabbed a paddle of the teleporter (some more cautiously that others).
And disappeared in a haze of orange particles.
-----------------------------
Who: Efof, Captain Jay and Phil
Where: Blue Dwarf, Drive-room
When: A few minutes after they got back
As they arrived at the Drive-Room, Efof and Phil were instantly collared by the
Captain.
"Efof, Phil. There's a situation with a Hymenoptera on the Promenade. Can you go
help out?"
Efof kicked his feet but eventually agreed to go.
As they walked out, Efof asked Phil if he thought there was anything suspicious
about Seymour.
Phil shrugged. "No. Why?"
"Well I thought you might have thought he was Lord Seymour 'the infidel' Nipples
or something?"
Phil looked at him and scrunched up his face. "Who's that? What the hell are you
talking about?!"
