About Smegging Time

Who: Those on Red Dwarf,Where: Red DwarfWhen: After the Action Post Tag~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Amber assessed the situation in front of her, with General idiot-face on another gangway this wouldn't be easy. Even with her overly agile skills there was no wat to make that jump without taking the full force of a Cadmium II blast to the face, feet and chesticles.Rosette had taken a very similar viewpoint, and as such was behind the others, looking up from the safe vantage point of behind Jay and Efof.  The two of them seemed to be doing a great job of protecting the girls from the hazards, but the two women exchanged a glance, and a grin.  Rosette nodded, and slinked off to the walkway that lead around the  chamber.  The bigger group of people, with Amber pointing a gun in his general direction held his attention enough for Rosette to stay undetected."Yo! Sousa!" Amber shouted, waving her gun is his general direction and pushing past the boys. "You couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery!" She bellowed."What are you doing?" Jay hissed, nudging his God-daughter."Just play along, we need to distract him so that Rose can get around there." She hissed back."Oh, OK." Seymour said, joining in.  "Yeah! And your wine isn't even Vintage!" he called. Everyone paused for a moment, and stared at Seymour as if he'd said something completely stupid and out of place.  Normally, this would be true.  But this time, it still was.  Luckily it was the perfect distraction, because Rosette knew what he meant, and thought it was quite well timed considering the brewery comment, then she got into position.Above the General was a load of coolant pipes zigzagging towards and away from the Cadmium core, most likely bursting with boiling hot coolant liquid, more than enough to burn through Sousa's radiation suit.  Rosette had sneakily made her way over to the coolant controls, gun in hand.  They were still all too far away for anyone to try and pull off a sniper shot without proper sniper weaponry, so she aimed at the much larger target just above him.  Even without trying, the huge set of pipework was like shooting the broad side of a barn.She glanced back across to Amber, and nodded."You run this operation so badly that you probably couldn't even run a bath if the taps were already on" Amber grinned, as the fuming Sousa turned and levelled his gun at the Dwarfers. Several of the GELF creations began to move around on the gangways towards them, guns also in hand. Sousa opened his mouth to retort."Maybe you should try a shower instead?" Amber said, grinning from ear to ear."HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME SO!" Sousa yelled, getting riled by the psychological attack.  Rosette took the opportunity of his yelling to fire a burst up at the ceiling.  Several shots bounced harmlessly from the walkway Sousa was on, but by that point it was too late.  Super-heated coolant burst from all areas of the pipes, turning Sousa into a lump of goo with relative ease, while filling the rest of the room with super hot steam.  All of the Dwarfers close to the exit ran out as soon as it had happened, but Rosette was further away.  She tossed her gun away and ran at full speed towards the exit, while the boiling hot coolant rained down across the whole room, burning everything it touched.  The Dolaroos and Kangaphins that were swarming into the room turned to swarm out, most of them getting burned to death as they ran."Come on, come on, come on" Rosette chanted as she ran.  She could feel the drops burning through the radiation suit, and through to her skin, where the radiation began to seep through also.  The safety bulkheads began their closing sequence as she approached. Jay activated the suit radio as he could see Rosette approaching.  It didn't look quite fast enough, so he yelled at her.  "WHAT? ARE YOU ON A BREAK!?!" All he got back was a wheezed"Screw you!" just as she leaped through the door, and it closed behind her. Justin began laughing as the small group ran down the corridors, the integrity of their suits in severe question."I got an idea, just go in here" He said, shoving them all into a small closet. It was full of janitorial supplies.Minutes later, they emerged from the tiny supplies closet."I hope you realise you're going to die choking on one of these things in the not too distant future." Rosette said, a urinal cake taped over each and every hole in her suit.  The patches of burned skin on her shoulders and back were agony, but at least they weren't irradiated any more.  It looked like she was wearing a suit made out of small blue circles.It was easy enough with the help of Holly to avoid the bad areas of the ship and circumnavigate the Small Rouge One to get back to the Small Azure One. The flight was uneventful, if only for the arguing of the pilots as to who got to fly home. "Parrotts?" Jay suggested. "You gotta be kidding," Rosette said, disgust in her voice as she started to peel the Radiation suit off and head for decontamination with the others. "I'm going to be spending weeks in the shower.""Ooooh, can I join you?" Justin asked.<Tag Andy, what about the inspector?>OOC - JP by SMAndy and I.
