"Three tomatoes are walking down the street,"
When: Just after the mining missile crashed into Blue Dwarf
Where: Arboretum and surrounding areas
Who: Davie and Holly V2 or "Harvey"
<Snip>
He pushed what looked like a tomato
with teeth out of his way as he descended, the strange little creature snapping
at his fingers. He landed next to an entrance at the side of missile. He
knocked loudly on the door, "Hello in there!?" he shouted.
<End Snip>
"Hey in
there!! Can you guys here me?" Davie
yelled again as he floated above the ship hovering in the arboretum. Suddenly
the entire missile flashed a bright yellow and disappeared. "What the hell!!??"
exclaimed Davie,
trying to back away from the space where the ship was just floating. Davie looked amazedly at
the missing ship.
Just then,
Holly (v2) floated through the hole in the ceiling towards Davie. "Holly," Davie said, "what the hell just happened?"
"It's not
Holly anymore, I'm changing my name."
"Why?"
"Well with
another Holly in this dimension, it might get a bit confusing."
"Okay, so
what do I call you?"
"Harvey."
"Harvey?"
"Yeah, Harvey."
"Okay then,
Harvey, what
the hell just happened?"
"Well," he
began, "you remember that guy you talked to on the other Blue Dwarf?"
"You mean
the guy that looked the he had feather dusters over his eyes?"
"Yeah, that
guy. He said there was bleeding between dimensions. My best guess would be that
the ship that was just there was a ghost, a dimensional anomaly. A technically
non-existent mass, passing between dimensions."
"So what
happened to the real one? The one that I just convinced the captain to let
dock?"
"Still on
the flight deck I would say."
"So why is
the hole still in the ceiling?"
"The ship
may have been a dimensional ghost, but for the short time that is was in our
dimension, it had a physical presence, and so could interact and be interacted
with."
"Right
"
Davie
turned and looked at the hole in ceiling, thinking about the broken reactor
coolant line and whether or not the crew knew about it or not. If they didn't,
they would soon enough. Out of no where, a flying tomato slammed into the side
of Davie's
head, exploding on contact. "Ahh!" he said out of surprise, and looked in the
direction of the flying fruit. He saw hundreds of toothed tomatoes lining
themselves up in front of the wall, salivating. "What's going on now?!"
exclaimed Davie.
"Killer tomatoes!" yelled Harvey as another
tomato forced itself off of the wall, slamming in into Davie.
Dozens of
them started bouncing the walls of the arboretum, kamikaze-ing into Davie. Davie twisted and turned, pulling the shotgun
from it's holster at his side, and started swinging it like a cricket bat,
splattering them away from him. "Ketchup!" he said as he squished thee of them
in one swing. Harvey
turned for the hole in the ceiling, moving easily with the anti gravity
propulsion built into his peewee body. "Harvey! A little help
here?"
"Oh, yeah."
Harvey turned back, and grabbed a hold of Davie with him with his tiny little arms, and
pulled his out of the arboretum through the hole in the ceiling. Davie kept swinging at
the killer tomatoes. Harvey
pulled him through the hole, and back into the ventilation system. As Harvey pulled him quickly
through the vents, the tomatoes flew up into the vent after them. Davie turned his shot gun
in his hands, and let off shot after shot into the wall of tomatoes flying
towards them. He popped a G.U.N.K. grenade off of combat belt around his waist,
and hurled it at down the vent. It exploded, sealing the shaft with a goopish
liquid, stopping the killer fruit in it's tracks. "Nice one!" said Harvey, slowing his pace,
"Where to now?" he asked. "The habitation decks." said Davie, replacing his shotgun on in it's
holster.

<OOC Have fun with the attack of the Killer Tomatoes,
combined with zero gravity, a rebellion against the JMC, and night of the
living dead. Wow, we're having a full day, huh?>
