joint post- Captain and janitor, an unlikely pair

Captain Niples
Captain's office
10/3/2101
Niples swivelled in Cannon's chair... dammit.... His chair. But he couldn't
help but think that it still belonged to Cannon. The photograph of Cannon's
wife and daughter stared up at him from the desk as if to say... "We are
dead." The little girl's cute innocent eyes triggered the voice in his brain
"My daddy is dead, he tried to kill the monsters that killed us. Does that
make him a monster too? If it does, then it's your fault- you let him do it!"
Niples turned the photograph face down to the table to stop them from
looking at him. He slid the photograph into the drawer in the desk. He could
have thrown it away, but something made him keep it.
Seymour picked p the latest report he'd been given. Apparently there had
been intruders on the ship and Stewie's shop had been trashed. "Oh great,"
Niples mubled mirthfully. "I guess we're going to have to pay for this."
Then he noticed another item down the list, underneath the announcement of a
new promenade director coming to town. The MacDonalds had been blown up
again!!!! This was the 4th time in as many months.
"Damn that Penny Lloyd!" he said, getting up and storming off down to find
the security team. Penny might be absolutely gorgeous and he might fancy her
loads, but she must have a thing against Niples' favourite fast food
restaurant.
As he appeared on the promanade, he saw the smouldering remains of the
MacDonalds. Crewmen and engineers were salvaging as many burgers as they
could and clearing the rubble for a repair job.
He turned, the security officers were milling around Mackenzies, obviously
Stewie wasn't going to let them go before they cleaned up his store. He also
noticed katrina heading towards Parrots, which seemed to be already full of
pissartists. (probably former-macdonalds employees who were temporarily out
of a job)
Katrina saw him and quickly turned away to pretend she hadn't, but it was
too late. Niples bounded over to her.
"Katrina, Hi..... I bet you're glad you don't have to tidy any of this up eh?"
She nodded.
"So.. erm.. what's up?"
Katrina gave in with the silent treatment. "I was just going to have a bit of
fun..." she said, and noticing that Seymour wasn't going to go away she
looked for something else to talk about. She saw a poster for the robot wars
competition.
"Are you making a robot for the competition?"
Niples shook hos head as if to say he was too old for that kind of thing, but
then he stopped and said "You think I should?"
Katrina smiled. "Of course! what better way to be a captain to your crew
than to smash their mechanical creations into twisted metal?"
"Well, if you put it like that....." said Niples. "Shall we do it
together... as a team?"
"Well I don't know......"
"Oh come on, it might be fun!" smiled Niples.
Katrina couldn't help but smile at him. She found him so adorable. "Well, why
not? I'm not busy." She held out her hand. "Shall we?"
Niple smiled, taking her hand.
Katrina's heart kipped a few beats.
