Jaxx and the Gas

Jacky was still messing with Jaxx at this point in time. By now, the entire world was so non-euclidean and horrifying, that Jacky was proud of himself for exploiting a glitch to create it. He named this world "R'lyeh", after the Cthulhu mythos.

Jacky was beginning to laugh when he saw the color from Jaxx\'s face drain at the sight of all of this. Jacky loaded up a Chthonian to shake him around a bit, when Justin slammed the door open.

"What are you smeg-heads doing?" he demanded.

"I wanted to take my mind off of things, so I came in here and started making Jaxx wet himself." Jacky explained, smiling.

"Well we need to-- wait, let me see." Justin said.

He approached the monitor and let out a long laugh watching Jaxx get pummeled by a large Chthonian monster.

"Wow... that's gold... *ahem* ANYWAY! We need him and you off this machine A.S.A.P." Justin stated.

Jacky shrugged.

"Okay." he said. "Why?"

\"Jaxx has been on that machine for so long, he\'s going to overpower the ship and completely obliterate it. Also he might starve, but somehow I don\'t have an issue with that.\"

\"Oh SMEG! How do we get him off?!\"

\"We can\'t pull the helmet off. He\'d never listen, and he could kill us. You\'d better go into the game and reason with him.\"

\"Why me?\"

\"I\'m an engineer. I need to fix things as soon as he\'s off.\"

\"Fine, let me just change the level scenery.\"

\"NO!\" Justin screeched \"We can\'t risk a sudden change in the AR simulation. You need to go in there as is.\"

\"...smeg...\" Jacky gulped and put on his helmet.

MEANWHILE, IN THE GAME
-------

Jacky and Jaxx were hiding from a Chthonian inside of a cave.

\"You need to stop playing the game!\" Jacky insisted.

\"This is my free time!\" Jaxx responded.

\"You\'re going to get us all killed!\" Jacky said.

\"That\'s ridiculous!\" Jaxx said back.

Jacky was fed up, and lifted off his own helmet. He pulled out the black gun with the red trigger. Could this be the time...? No... he didn\'t care that much for Jaxx, especially not now. Jacky didn\'t shoot him, Jacky simply pistol-whipped him in the cranium. Jaxx responded by ripping his helmet off and staring into Jacky\'s soul.

Jacky ran over and hit the emergency stop switch for the VR suite. Jaxx was shaking with rage after that.

\"You... little... SMEGGER!\" Jaxx yelled.

\"Me... little... SMEGGER!\" Jacky responded, nervously, before running away.
----------------------------
Jacky eventually met up with Justin while fleeing.

\"What\'s with the smoke?\" he asked.

\"That gas is the result of Jaxx\'s games. It could be a minor issue, but we can\'t say for sure. Just don\'t touch it. Speaking of which, did you solve the Jaxx issue?\" Justin responded.

\"Yes, you could say that.\" Jacky said.

\"How\'d you get him off those games?\" Justin asked.

\"I, uh... I pistol whipped him and ran away.\" Jacky said, nervously.

Justin stared with horror while he heard heavy footsteps heading their way. They made their way into the drive room and locked the door behind them.

\"Holly, can you analyze the gas?\" Justin asked. \"What are its effects?\"

\"Not really sure, but something like this happened on board another ship. the S.S. Quasar.\" Holly responded. \"They had the gas.\"

\"What happened to them?\" Justin asked.

<TAG-- I\'m gonna let someone else say. This gas has too much potential to leave for me!>
