*Action* - "Fourth Base"

Who: Jay, Gilbert & Mavis
Where: Blue Dwarf, Drive Room
When: After rescuing the crew of the SCS Huddersfield
Jay watched through the window of the Drive Room. He saw the S.C.S. Huddersfield
collapse, the solar flares from the sun wrapping around it, and eventually
crushing it. The sun was expanding rapidly, entering the final stages of going
supernova – what remained was a rapid expansion, an explosion.
Jay turned to Gilbert and Mavis, who still had tears in their eyes at the sight
of their spaceship being destroyed. "Aye, dunt worry lass." Said Gilbert. "It
were only a ship. I'll get you anuver. What matters is you an' me are safe now."
"We'll drop you off at the closest starbase." Jay promised, and took one last
look at the sun. "Efof, lets get as far away from here as possible before that
thing blows."
Efof was scooping a spoonful of banoffee pie into his gob from a small plastic
bowl. "Mffefff Phir!" He said, and based the big red Wormhole Drive button with
his fist.
Swirls of crimson replaced the supernova, and the Blue Dwarf jumped into a
different solar system. "What's the closest spacestation?" Jay asked.
Efof swallowed the sticky dessert and peered at the digital map on his screen.
"Errr... Fourth Base, Jay, I mean Captain."
"Okay." Said Jay. "Take us there and prepare some Starbugs. We'll drop off our
guests and stock up on some supplies. I heard the beer tanks dropped below
38,800 gallons this week. We'd better get them filled up."
Efof nodded and navigated the Blue Dwarf towards the space station at the
furthest end of the solar system.
The Yorkshire folk left the bridge as Seymour entered. "Captain, I want to thank
you for not letting my daughter get harmed on the away mission."
"She entered a dangerous situation Seymour, I want you to keep her under control
in future."
"It's very difficult!" Seymour whined. "She burrows through wormholes, I have no
idea where she's going to turn up."
Seymour's eyes caught a bright light through the window. "What, is that?" He
said incredulously.
Jay turned to look. This space station was covered in bright neon signs. "You
have arrived at Fourth Base" said the sign, surrounded by other signs saying
"Girls, girls, girls" and "XXX".
"Oh god." Said Seymour. Fourth Base was what is known as a pleasure station, a
massive starbase like many others, but it's main trade was in strip clubs, and
Pleasure GELFS.
Captain Chrysler bit his lip. "Ahh... erm... EFOF! Why didn't you tell me we
were headed to some sort of sleazy whorehouse?"
"You never asked!" Efof said, with his feet up on the desk.
Jay sighed. "Well we might as well top up with supplies while we're here."
Seymour's eyes opened wide. "You're not allowing the crew to go over to that
sleazy floating strip club are you? They might get an STD just by looking."
"Of course not." Said Jay. "But they'll have food and fuel and supplies like any
other starbase. Might as well stock up now."
Jay picked up the microphone and his voice came over the speakers throughout the
ship. "We are now docked at Fourth Base, none of the crew are permitted to go
aboard. I repeat do not go aboard."
