*Action* - Crashing the Red Dwarf pt1

<snip>
Seymour laid down on the bunk and his daughter snuggled up next to him. Seymour
felt her fluffy rabbit's tail brushing up against his radiation suit. He thought
of her mother, and smiled.

Who: Seymour and Alota
Where: Red Dwarf, Flight deck
When: Early Morning
Seymour woke to the sound of alarm klaxons. Alota shot off the bed, afraid they
were under attack. Instinctively she clung to Seymour to protect her, ironically
however as he was the most cowardly Human in the known universe.
"Holly what's going on?" Seymour shouted to the Red Dwarf's AI.
"Sorry to tell you this Mister Nipples-"
"Niples, please."
"Sorry, Mister Nipples. But we're accelerating away from the Blue Dwarf."
"What?" Seymour ran to the nearest window and peered out. The Blue Dwarf had
pulled up alongside them last night, but now they were accelerating away.
A vibration in Seymour's leg and the faint sound of "god save the queen" alerted
him to his mobile phone going off. He pulled it out and clanked it to the side
of his radiation helmet.
"Jay?"
"Seymour what the hell are you doing?" Came the angry voice of his Captain.
"You'd better not be stealing that ship. The JMC were supposed to give me a
medal for bringing it back!"
"I swear I'm jolly well doing nothing of the sort." Seymour said. "I don't even
know how to pilot a ship like this. Can you come over and help us?"
"I'll put a team together and be as quick as I-"
Alota swirled her fingers together, and Jay appeared in front of them.
"Oh that's handy." He said, and both of them put down their phones.
Jay looked upwards at Holly's face on the screen nearby. "Holly, can you stop
the engines?"
"No. General Sousa coded a failsafe, the Red Dwarf is programmed to crash into
the Kangaphin homeworld, even if he died."
Jay looked at Seymour. "The Kangaphins contacted the SpaceCorps yesterday. I've
been given orders by the Admiralty to protect their planet at all cost. If we
blow it up, I'll lose my job."
Seymour nodded.
Holly's face was replaced by a diagram showing how close they were to the
planet. "We're accelerating too fast to stop." Said Holly. "We've only got over
a minute until impact."
"We could detonate the ship." Jay said, biting his lip as he said it.
Seymour shook his head. "Alota will die if she leaves the Red Dwarf." He told
Jay, who slapped hi head with his hand.
"We're running out of options!" We can't stop the ship, we can't destroy the
ship..."
"Can we turn round?"
"We're moving too fast to turn." Said Holly.
"Smeg!" Jay shouted, starting to feel the pressure even more, especially as a
timer appeared that was counting down the seconds they had left.
29 seconds....28....27...
A few more seconds of silence passed as they thought up a better plan.
26...25...24...
"Daddy." Said Alota.
"Not now sweetie."
23...22...21...
"Daddy. There's another way!" His daughter said, standing in front of him and
waving.
Seymour's eyes fixed on her. "What is it sweetie?"
She paused, and then said. "I can do it."
