Re: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] *Action* - \"Distress Call - S.C.S Huddersfield\"

Who: - Jay, Amber, Jayne, others
Where:- Hangar Bay
When:- Shortly after the distress beacon.
 
Jay looked across the Starbugs midsection, specifically, at Jayne a confused expression on his face.
"Erm..." he said "Do you really think you're gonna need that?"
" Need what?" Jayne replied.
"The Shotgun....it's....a rescue mission."
Jayne hadn't really noticed, but she'd be sat down, cradling a sawn off shotgun on her lap as though it were a kitten, stroking it absently.
"You never know.." she said "When is anything straightforward for us?"
"Fair point...but I'd still prefer you left it behind..."
He reached over to take it from her.
 
It was no secret that Jay could get a little attached to inanimate objects, most notable his personal shuttle, the Phoenix. People had nearly died just for breathing near it, in fact, he'd met Katrina when he rugby tackled, and then tried to strangle her just because she touched the paintwork, so it shouldn't be considered a surprised that Jayne, Jay's clone, shared this trait and had decided that this shotgun would get her affections, she was, a security officer, so she was expected to use weapons, and most of the security team had their own preferred choice of weapon. Jayne just liked this shotgun, alot.
 
This wasn't a problem in itself, however, she possessed a lethal combination of Jay's crazed love of a certain object...with the most dangerous item to ever be created in nature.
 
Female hormones.
 
As Jay reached for her gun, she screeched loudly "TOUCHITANDLOSEANARMCHRYSLER!" Jay paused for a moment, and stared at his clone dead in the eye. He was the captain, he wasn't going to let any member of the crew talk to him like that, even his own flesh and blood (literally). "Ensign...I.."
"DON'TTOUCHTHESMEGGINGGUN!!!"
Jay knew better than to cross an armed woman twice...and quietly turned around and headed for the cockpit
 
"Pre-flights checks are complete Jay.." Amber, sat in the pilots seat, said, "Ready to go?!"
"Not quite.."
"What are you waiting for?"
"For you to get out of the damn pilots seat, I'm driving..."
"Captain I'm the chief navi.."
"NOW!"
Jayne might have been reluctant to give up a gun, but Jay giving up the pilots seat, even when he wasn't a pilot anymore, was never going to happen.
Amber knew this, and calmly slinked out of the chair and into the co-pilots seat as Jay took her place. He gripped the control stick, and slammed the throttle into full-speed.
A wide grin gradually sneaked it's way across his face. He missed this.
The starbug rocketed out of the Blue Dwarf, toward the Huddersfield, to the loud, Jay-yelled cry of "IT'S HERO TIME!!!!"

Who: The crew of the S.C.S HuddersfieldWhere: In spaceWhen: A week after getting back into our own dimensionThe spaceship floated dangerously close to a burning hot sun. The ship was old and dirty, and looked like the owner had patched it up, rather than buying a new one. This is because the owner was a tight Yorkshireman who wouldn't spend a penny more than he had to. The Captain was scientist Gilbert Smith, a bitter and rude man who had bought the ship to research the dying sun they were orbiting. "Oi Mavis! Launch that probe will ya!" He shouted across the messy starship bridge at Mavis, who was a fat elderly woman wearing an apron and had curlers in her hair. Mavis was currently mopping the floor, which she stopped doing to press a button on a computer. Outside, the rickety starship fired a science probe into the nearby sun. "All done luv." Said Mavis.Gilbert didn't even acknowledge his gratitude, he just leaned back into his tattered chair. "By eck, I can't wait to get this mession over and get t' nearest planet wi' a pub!" He said in his strong Yorkshire accent. "Aye" Said Mavis, and started mopping the floor of the bridge."Oh Mavis duck, while you're up, fancy making a cuppa?" Mavis sighed. "Aye, go on then." She said, and walked into the small kitchen off the main bridge. Gilbert watched the viewscreen showing the star they were orbiting. Things were starting to change. Gilbert didn't realise this yet, but the probe they had launched into the star was going to force it to go supernova far earlier than expected. There was some clattering sounds coming from the kitchen, and eventually the sound of a kettle boiling. Mavis squeezed out of the small doorway carrying a cup of tea and some food on a plate. "I dunt know why we don't just get a new spaceship!" She said. "This un's falling apart!""I aint spending money when this un'll do!" Gilbert said sternly. "Did yer make me a snack?""Aye" Said Mavis. "Pie n' chips.""Bloody marvellous!" Said Gilbert. Behind him on the large viewscreen the sun started to change colour and wild solar flares started to whip across the sun's surface like hurricanes. "Want some mushy peas duck?" Mavis asked."Aye lass. Gimme a big dollop." Gilbert said, and Mavis spooned a huge green splat onto his plate, covering his food.Mavis returned to the kitchen, and Gilbert started to fish around in the mushy peas to find the chips. That was when he noticed the sun through the viewscreen."Ayup, summats happening!" He cried out. The star they were orbiting pulsed with a fiery rage. Solar flares surrounded the ship, crippling the engines. "Blummin' eck we're in trouble!" Said Gilbert. "What you whittling about?" Called Mavis from the kitchen."Mavis come quick!" Shouted Gilbert. "Put t' emergency distress call on. We need help or we're goin' blow up!"--------------------------Who: Captain Chysler and Kaleb LewisWhere: Drive RoomWhen: Shortly afterKaleb Lewis was manning the Navigation Computer in the busy Drive-Room of the Blue Dwarf. When an emergency flashing light caught his attention."Captain, can you come in here a second?" He called into the Captain's office. Jay emerged quickly from the office. "Yes Kaleb?" "There's an emergency distress call sir." He said, activating the broadcast. "It's a research ship only a few hundred light years away. It's broken down next to a star that's going to go supernova. We could be there in seconds using the Wormhole Drive?"Jay nodded. "Activate Wormhole Drive. I want to get as close as possible to their ship, but not too close to the star."Kaleb started typing in coordinates into the Navigation computer. Jay picked up a walkie talkie which put him straight through to the Navigation Department. "Amber? I need you to prepare a Starbug. We're going to go on a rescue mission to recover some Scientists." <OOC – Whoever wants to go on the rescue mission, get down to the hangarbay immediately! BTW, I only mentioned two characters on the science ship (S.C.S Huddersfield) but there might be more, so if you want to invent one to interact with please go ahead! >
