**Action** "Chicken McNuggets pt2"

**Action**
Proxima Poultry facility
Date 9/14/2100
Nearly tea-time
 
A breathless Larry and Phil ran onto the deck. The security officers, Lt. Smegg and Ensign Cauty followed close behind. Phil looked at his gadget.
He pointed in the direction of where the Blue Dwarf was docked.
"It went that way."
 
They all ran through customs in a long line. The station security officer supposed to be stopping all unauthorised entries onto the ship was happily dozing away, some crewmembers flashed their ID as they zoomed past him anyway.
 
Many passers-by watched the team run onto the ship in single file and imagined what the scene would look like speeded up and played to the Benny Hill music.

Inside the ship
 
Now as you know, Dwarfstar-class ships are big, in fact they are very big so getting around in them is something of a problem if you are like 97.6% or the inhabitants and have only two legs.
So to get around there are many different means of transportation, one is by Express-lifts, one is by the Promenade monorail, but the one which the team chose to chase the Chicken was...... Golf carts.
 
Rongside and FeBuggure climbed into a cart and speeded away, Sergent Jackson squeezed his long legs into another with Private Harbinger at the wheel.
Leiutenant Smegg and Ensign Cauty claimed another and speeded away with Ensign Donover gripping onto the back for fear of death.
 
The three karts speeded down the corridor at a phenominally average speed, not caring about the many pedestrians in the way. They could see the chicken up ahead, running as fast as it's feathery hide could manage.
At one point it looked back and saw the grim determination of seven people in three slow moving vehicles ready for the kill.
 
"its turning left.... no, right!" yelled Phil, Larry really put his foot down this time untill the speedometer reached... 5.
"Where are they going?" asked Tiny Jackson rhetorically. Their kart only a few centimeters behind Larry and Phil.
"Their going onto the promenade!" yelled Doom over the sound of the engine.
"Follow them!"
 
The three buggies turned onto the promenade. All karts were neck and neck. The chase was now on, the first to kill the chicken would most certainly deserve a promotion, and probably more importantly- a date with Miss Blue Dwarf 2100 (who is actually the communications officer, but hey... take the stupid speaker thingy out of her ear and she's all yours....)
 
Pieces of paper and rubbish were thrown into the air as the karts passed, civillians and crewmembers had to dive out of the way or risk being mildly bruised.
 
Marjorie the chicken thought it was a hopeless cause, she/he/it turned into the next doorway.

Meanwhile, the MacDonalds resaurant which had been unexpectantly blown up by Penny Lloyd in the Polymorph incident had been completely rebuilt. The builders were just clearing up their tools and showing the owner how to use some new equipment they had fitted.
 
"This is the McMash-o-matic Chicken McNugget McMaker." said an engineer pointing to a machine in the MacDonalds kitchen.
"You activate it by pressing this button here..."
He pressed the green button and he machine started the whirr. Large blades started to move up and down inside, and large spiked rollers rotated on the front- it all seemed a bit dangerous.
 
Just then a large chicken ran into the kitchen, being unable to stop its forward momentum it dived straight into the deadly machine.
Only feathers emerged, but after a few seconds one small box of Chicken McNuggets came out of the back.
"Thats...um...exactly how it works!" said the engineer, pretending he'd planned the whole thing.
 
Just then, three golf karts pulled into the restaurant and a few shaken crewmembers staggered out. They saw the feathers and the McNuggets and put 2 and 2 together.
"My promotion....." said Jackson sullenly.
"My date with Miss Blue Dwarf..." said Larry sullenly
"My my, these taste great!" said Smegg as he and Marlene tucked into the nuggets.

24 hours later the crew prepared to leave the Orbital poultry facility.
