Little Woman

<OOC – Hey guys and gals, sorry for not posting in such a long time! I've got news RL though, which I'll put at the bottom of the post. Back to BD, I'm a little confused about where Yasmin & Seymour are, I assume they've moved away from Yasmin's bunk room. >

Seymour followed along after Yasmin, pushing his wheelchair along with his dainty hands which were becoming sore. He wasn't used to pushing himself, and Yasmin didn't seem polite enough to offer. He followed her out of her bunk room and into the corridor, only pausing momentarily to question why Justin had put the disabled access through her quarters. Typical Pancake, put a thoroughfare through a young woman's sleeping quarters.

The crazed hologram was prattling on, every computer screen along this corridor had a version of his face, like a grotesque hall of mirrors.

<snip>
"Because I can control the entire ship now!" he boomed vacuously, as Yasmin returned to the task of trying to force the Projection Suite door. He paused again, momentarily, when he realised this. "Hey, quit that! I'm busy having my control speech right now! Oi!"
But he was too late. Yasmin got the door open, just in the nick of time, and
<end snip>

“Ms Adimar my dear, how about you slow down? These corridors could be infested with filthy lizard things...” But she'd disappeared into the door, which swung closed revealing the sign “holographic control room”.

Seymour pushed the door open with his wheelchair. Inside, Yasmin was tearing out wires, and it was making Justin nervous. Behind her, a wall of computer monitors showing individual feeds of Justin's subconscience (extremely graphic, and for over 18's only), and they became one pic picture of Justin. He started to plead.
“It was a joke, please sexy Yasmin stop now, you're destroying all my circuits. Please, if you stop I'll give you my prized possessions!”

She paused but it looked only temporarily.
“What've you got?”
“I uhh... how about an extremely rare first edition of Little Woman. You like classy literature don't you? I read it on your file.”
Yasmin turned, and Seymour lifted an eyebrow. “Mr Pancake? YOU have a first edition of Little Woman? The 1868 novel written by Louisa May Alcott?”
“Oh... err. No. I just have a book about little women. It's mostly pictures. They're mostly naked. It's dwarf porn actually.”
“Ew!” Said Yasmin, and Seymour sunk his head into his hands.

“Allow me Ms Adimar.” Seymour said, and wheeled over and pressed a large red button. Behind them, Justin vanished from the screen with a slight squeal.

Then there was silence.
“Now, Ms Admar, did I hear you mention you had some wine? I could jolly well do with some, after being on that planet for so long, and now Mr Pancake has given me a headache.”

“Shouldn't we help the others out of that deadly assault course?”
“Yes of course. In time. They know where the exit is. What vintage do you have?”

<tag Yasmin!>

OOC – It's good to be back! We can restore Justin later as a proper hologram where he'll be less trouble than the ship's computer. As for all you in the assault course, there might be some doors opened as a failsafe, or maybe you can cut through the walls with some welding torches you might find? The skutters that Justin commanded might have left some behind.

I think it'd be a funny idea if Justin's wasted all the ship's spare resources making this assault course, and we don't have enough metal to rebuild the Drive-Room, so how about we go do some mining?

BTW I signed for a house today, I'll soon be a land owner! Haha! It's pretty scary & boring stuff going through all the legal gubbins, but by next week I might have the keys :-D
