Back in the saddle again
The Starbug reentered the planet's atmosphere. Dirk's mental state was still in
a sandwich shy of a picnic, if you know what I mean? The little red light that
let's you know that fresh coffee is ready came on. "We're running out of power!
There's nothing I can do! I'm taking her in! Prepare for emergency landing!"
he ship's hull began to smack against the tops of the trees. Soon, the entire
ship was lowered into the forrest. A large path of fallen trees was left in its
wake. As the ship came close to the ground, the legs scratched the dirt. With
the high velocity, the legs couldn't take the pressure and soon buckled. Now,
the hull of the ship was scraping the ground. Dirk sat in the cabin singing,
"I've got hiiIIIIiigh hopes. I've got hiiIIIIiigh hopes." The Starbug hit a
hill on its port side and began to roll. "...apple pie in the skyyYYYYyy
hopes." He was being spun around while strapped in the pilot's chair. After
skidding for more than 5 miles, the Starbug came to rest, upside down(there goes
another perfectly good craft). Dirk unbuckled himself and fell to the roof.
After a few moments of struggle, he made his way to the escape hatch and fell to
the ground. "Any landing you can walk away from is a good one." He wandered
the jungle.
When Dirk awoke the next moring, he was still a little light headed but not
totally delirous. He was also INSIDE. He didn't know where he was or how he
got there, but he was there. A good look around would be in order. Dirk was
very catious, or parinoid.

Jay was getting bored, White Wolf and Harris had been gone an hour now and
apart from a quick game of football he'ed played with Kayn, Schweeble and
Smegg using an empty ammo clip for a ball noone had even attmepted to do
anything worthwhile, and frankly he was getting sick of the argument between
DJ and Keto. He got up and walked up the steps to the altar.
"what kind of people worship a can of beans anyway" he asked to noone in
particular running his finger aroung the inside of the can he tasted what
was left inside. ..out of the corner of his eye he noticed a light coming
from the back of the staircase it ran down to the floor on both sides of it.
He jumped down to the floor for a closer look. "joe what do you make of
this?"
he shouted across the ampitheater. Everyones interest was somewhat peaked
now and came over to see what Jay had found.
"Theres a passageway or something back there," Joe said gazing through ine
eye, "This entire altar is moveable"
with that Jay, Kayn, Schweeble and Shakespeare all pushed the side of the
altar, it moved slightly but not much, Alota and DJ slung their guns over
their shoulders and pushed with them. The altar slid about a metre to the
left revealing a long passageway lit by torches..."Interesting.... " said
Alota, so wadda we do now?"
Jay looked at Commander Smegg "you're the highest ranking person here while
Harris and WW have gone Commander its your call, do we send someone
down...or not"
"Someone needs to go," said Smegg "Who knows what might we might find,
question who will go?"

Smegg stepped through the passage with Jay behind him. After a few feet, a
noise could be heard down the hall. "Did you hear that?" Smegg asked Jay.
"Yeah. Sounds like someone....singing....Freebird????" The two moved on
further down the corridor. "Sounds like he's getting to the guitar solos." Jay
stepped out a little further to hear. Over the singing, he heard a loud click
sound as his foot came down. "Uh-oh." He looked behind them and say a gigantic
boulder rolling towards them. "SMEG!"
"Yes, what is it, Jay?" Smegg asked.
"No! Not SMEGG! SMEG!" Jay tried to explain.
"What?!"
"SMEG! Not SMEGG! SMEG!"
"What?!! What is it?!!"
Jay turned the commander's head around an pointed at the boulder coming towards
them. "SMEG!" he shouted and then ran the other way.
"Oh. SMEG!" The commander followed suit. They ran down the hall as fast
as they could. They came to a fork in the path. They both chose to go left.
It was a dead end. The boulder came closer and closer. "I never told my father
that I loved him!" Smegg pleaded.
As the boulder was bearing down on them, a hand came out of the shadows right in
front of the rock and stopped it. "Is...is that their god?" Jay asked. Dirk
stepped out of the shadows while moving the boulder back a few feet. "DIRK
BELL?!! You're their god?!" Jay yelled.
"Um... no... I don't think so."
"How did you stop that boulder? It must be several tons," Smegg said.
"No, not really." Dirk spun the ball around a bit and showed them some writing
on the side. PROPERTY OF JMC RED DWARF PRODUCTION OF INDIANA JONES ON ICE.
"I'm no detective, but that looks suspiciously clue-like."
OOC- well, i'm back in the party. what's next?
