**Action** "One big mother"

OOC- I nicked the first bit from Johnson's post in case we needed a recap, I thought it was a bloody good post too!
 
**Action post**
The Planet Ffion
The humans (and Efof) gathered in a crater as the bugs began to overwhelm them. Everyone's attention was focused on the giant bug/space ship above them. It was moving away, the bugs with them."What's it doing?" James asked.Niples frowned, "Maybe they are just sort of migrating?" he suggested. (and hoped)."THE MIGHT OF THE HARBINGER OF DOOM WAS TOO MUCH FOR THE SATANOUS PRAWNS!" Doom bellowed.
 
"I need a drink..." muttered the purple-haired Nurse Coffey.
 
The pale faced Keyn Bestrom looked around him, trying to figure out what had had happened while he was unconscious. And most importantly, what had happened to him when he had been unconscious?"Um, yeah," Niples said, "So, they're migrating.""Sort of," Harris said, a scary look had crossed his face, the sort of look that said he knew what was going on and it made him want to change underwear."What's wrong?" Niples asked, not wanting an answer."Well think about it, after six hundred years resources would start to run a bit low at the rate they're eating it. So a big source of food and resources, like say, a Jupiter Mining Corporating Space Ship...""Oh god!!" Niples said, turning pale, "We've got to warn the ship!""Our ships would be to slow to get there before the insect ship, and besides, do you know how many weapons that ship has!?""About as much your average brownie meeting," Niples said."Don't worry!" Ace said, "I've got a plan!"Unfortunately at this point a passing insect ripped his head off."I know!" Efof said, "There's a matter transporter near here, we could try beaming the whole ship, vaporise it and without rematerialising it."James turned round, "That's a bloody good idea!" he said, "How'd you think of it?"
 
Efof shrugged and flailed his unusual number of arms.
 
***In the Drive-room of the Blue Dwarf***
 
The blonde girl at the sensor station looked alarmed and quickly snatched the microphone from the communications station and yelled into it.
"We've got a massive unknown ship coming right towards us on an intercept course! Everybody take cover!!"
 
Panic erupted all over the ship, with people running about not knowing where the safest place was to be.
 
The Captain ran out of his office onto the Drive room floor and yelped "What is it?!!"
"A green blip on the sensor screen sir!"
 
The girl looked back at her sensor screen again, then looked up at the Captain, going bright red.
"its uhhhhh, false alarm. I got green nail varnish on the screen."
 
Captain Cannon groaned as the girl scraped the blob off.
Only to reveal another blob underneath, which she also tried to scrape off- but it was real.
 
This sensor blip was moving towards them fast.
 
***Back on the planet Ffion***
On Starbug 1
 
Nik and the new security officer Drusilla Belladonna were getting sick of waiting for the group to return.
At least it had given them the time to get to know each other though, although Drusilla seemed to push Nik's attempts to socialise back in his face most of the time.
 
Nik rummaged through the cupboards, looking for something they could do to pass the time. Glancing out of the window at the large insect which had now compleatly devoured the Blue Midget but was having trouble digesting the engine tanks.
Nik checked another drawer and found a pack of cards.
 
"Hey Drusilla," he shouted to the young female in the other section of the ship. She moped slowly into the room. Nik raised his eyebrows.
"Fancy a game of strip poker?"
 
***Niples group***
 
Commander Niples decided to go along with the plan of the strange man with the funny trunk on his head. The man who called himself "Efof" seemed to know the way to the matter transporter, so Seymour dedided to let him lead the way.
As only a few of them were needed, Niples told only Efof, Johnson, Harbinger, Coffey and Steev to go to find the transporter site.
 
The plan was to dematerialise the large ship and not to materialise it anywhere else.
The group took the remaining supply of weapons and headed off towards the transporter building.
 
Night was starting to fall so the remainder of Niples' group headed back to Starbug 2 (the one which Doom and Johnson came in)
Niples made a mental note to remember where he left the other Starbug in the morning.
 
***Johnson and Harbinger's group***
 
The group walked over a steep hilly bank and looked into the distance.
With the sunlight fading, the transporter building could just be seen amongst the wreckage of a few other buildings.
 
"Its still here!" shouted Efof and began to run down the hill. Harbinger grapped his leg and dragged him to a crouching position.
 
"Hell's minions!" Doom said as softly as he could, pointing to the bugs patrolling the buildings.
"Oh yeah. What do we do now?" asked Coffey.
 
Doom held his bazukoids high. "WE PURGE THE UNIVERSE OF THE HELLISH ARACHNID SPAWNS OF SATANS ARSE!"
And charged down the hill, followed by Steev, Johnson and Efof.
 
"Oh well, I didn't want to live forever anyway." muttered Coffey, gripping her rifle and medkit and following the group.
 
 
***Blue Dwarf***
 
The large black ship got closer to the ship, blocking the light from the system's yellow star and casting a dark spiney shadow over the ship's hull.
 
***Niples group, Starbug 2***
 
The crew rested after walking so far during the day. The emergency rations were handed out, but most of the crew decided they would rather starve than eat it.
 
There wern't enough seats or bunks for all of them, so Phil, Harris, Lloyd and Niples were forced to start the annoying task of hanging up hammocks.
 
20 minutes later
 
A bleary eyed Commander Niples walked into the back section of the Starbug where Kayn was playing poker with some people who looked like him.
 
"Who's your friends?" murmered Niples, trying to get into his hammock.
"They're me." said Kayn.
"Thats nice." said Seymour, falling asleep.
 
(OOC- Ok guys you can all extend this, work together so we don't end up with loads of different possible storylines)
