Mayday, mayday!
'Mayday, mayday!' Herbie screamed into his communications system perched on a shaking surface above the pilot's seat. Definitely a health and safety hazard if you ask me. The SS Blue Whale II was rotating through the stars at incredible speeds, it had just managed to accidently enter a void in time and space. Suddenly Herbie felt weightless and began to move; this unexpected event was followed by him feeling a rather horrible pain in his head and then.
Then it was darkness.
The young ex-Space Pirate and pro surfer thought his time was up; but in all honesty. It was not. No infact in those twelve minutes Herbie blacked out after flying across the ship and whacking his head on a sink he had arrived somewhere new.
'Oh bollocks!' Herbie screamed.
The hull of the SS Blue Whale was submerged in a pile of dirt. The screen was dirtied and horrid. The windscreen wipers pulling all of their weight in attempt to clean the screen.
Somewhere he had heard of before in a mystical book some whack job on the SS Blue Whale read. What was it again. Yes of course, it was the bible.
The book that in where Herbie grew up they said was actually a misinterpretation of a story one bloke told another bloke about his cousin Jesus. Who was a famous magician. Jesus was a very naughty man committing such foul acts as faking his own death, scaring his mother to death, claiming he was the son of the bearded man in the sky. The space pirates on the SS Blue Whale respected this man called Jesus.
Now Herbie better find someone or something sooner or later. This certainly was not good news for anyone. Especially himself, he didn't want to be stuck on Earth let alone in the past. If only there were more intergalactic travellers in early age Jerusalem.
