The new mission pt2

Who: Captain Castillo and Efof
Where: Drive room
When: Now
The drive room looked very different to how it had been under Captain Chrysler, Castillo had set the lights to their emergency settings, lit only by a murky red light that you see on submarine films when a state of emergency is declared to show tension. It made it difficult for anyone to see, but Castillo swore that it made everyone concentrate better.
Efof walked into a console because he couldn't see where he was going. Castillo greeted him. "Bonjour Efof, get to work please." She pointed to a chair and Efof immediately sat down with a thud. "What happened to the nice comfy swivel chairs?" he asked.
"Zey were distracting to productivity!" Said Castillo. "Only ergonomic chairs from now on!"
"You ARE evil!" Efof said.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing." Efof disguised it with a cough and patted himself on the back.
Efof looked at the computer in front of him. "You've got an incoming message from the JMC Board of Directors." he told her.
"Bon! I'll take it in my office." She said.
He saw Castillo walked into the Captain's office, catching a glimpse at the different décor inside. He could see a photo of the Eiffel tower hanging on the wall, as well as a heated aquarium tank with frogs in it. Efof had been told once that French people eat frogs legs, and imagined with horror Castillo pulling legs off live ones and popping them in her mouth.
Inside her office, Castillo beamed at the video conferencing screen. "Bonjour Monsieurs!" She greeted them. Several shadowy figures sat around a table in a conference room. "Captain, we've got a new mission for you."
"Oui." She said, waiting for them to inform her.
"The JMC is suffering badly with budget cuts. We need to make money quick." Said one of the shady characters on the screen. Your failure on New Cambridgeshire has made things even worse."
Castillo felt herself getting angry at everyone who sabotaged her efforts, but continued to listen.
"We've found a type of GELF that can make us money. They're called the Govine. Our long range probe has detected a ship that's navigating off course." He looked at someone else around the table who continued. "We want you to capture them and imprison them until we give you further orders."
"Exactly how are we going to make ze money out of zem?" Castillo asked. "Do they, ow do you say, 'shit gold' or something?"
The JMC Directors looked at each other. "Something like that." They said.
Castillo walked out of her office and placed an icy cold hand on Efof's shoulder, making him jump.
--------------------------------------------------
The JMC Blue Dwarf passed into a wormhole, and punched through a temporary hole in the universe. It emerged the other side and decelerated.
The massive blue spaceship moved up close to the Govine shuttle and devoured it in one one if its shuttle bays.

Who: Efof, Davie and Justin
Where: Deck 13
When: After the Govines were brought aboard
Efof stood in a large room on Deck 13, the Blue Dwarf's prison with some metal clippers in his hand. A hundred Govine bulls were chained to the floor by their hooves, and neither were sure what was going on but they were all angry about it.
"Release us!" They all chanted, pawing their hooves on the metal floor but unable to charge.
Efof stood with several other JMC officers including Justin and Davie who all looked nervously at the herd of angry bulls in front of them. He ducked out of the team and quickly called Seymour back at the Flight Deck.
"Seymour you wouldn't believe what Castillo wants us to do! I bet you can't guess!"
Before Seymour got a chance to guess, Efof continued. "There's something special about the Govine's anatomy that Castillo wants to harvest, she says it'll make money for the JMC! Some part of them is made of gold. Guess!"
"Oh, I don't know. Their horns?"
"Nope!"
"Their teeth?"
"No, guess again!" Efof said, clutching the clippers in his hands. "Here's a hint, all the males have two of them!"
There was silence at the other end of the line. Efof checked his phone to make sure Seymour was still connected. After a while he returned.
"Efof! This is no time for jokes!"
"No joke! We've actually been ordered to cut the golden balls off some GELF cows! And man do they look angry about it!"
A JMC security guard noticed Efof on the phone and pushed him back to join the rest of the team. Efof looked at Justin and Davie who were under orders the same as he was.
<OOC – tag, so do you go through with it, or what else could happen? This is probably the most childish plot point I've come up with in a long time! You get extra bonus points if you mention Jasper Carrott in your post>
