**Action** "Madman situation"

Captain Niples
Corridor near drive-room
Before meeting
 
Captain Niples strolled down the corridor, he had recieved word that there was a grisly battle being fought on the promenade. He had the upmost conifence that Harris and his security detail could sort out the situation.
He was however worried about the dissapearance f most of his officers, Whitewolf had been missing for some time now, as well as Alotta and that strange little engineering fellow, Steev. Keto had gone too, people were getting injured from the attacking Enirams but there was hardly anyone around to cure them.
 
Seymour stopped by the coffee machine in the corridor and ordered an espresso, which came rather promptly. He curtly thanked the machine and turned around to see a blatent disregard of etiquette.
 
An Eniram soldier, cut off from the rest of his army was coming out of an elevator, barging past a woman coming the other way, knocking the poor girl down.
Seymour strode over to the fish-man and pointed a finger at him.
"Excuse me good man." he started. "I do believe that you and your men may be trying to take over my ship, but while doing so I would much appreciate it if you were to do it in a quiet and pleasant manner which does not result in the breaching of certain protocols of politeness."
 
The Eniram soldier stabbed his coffee cup and the hot espresso spilled down the Captain's trouser leg onto his shoes.
Niples felt his blood boiling with rage.
"These shoes are real replica leather of the finest quality. I bought them at Harrods in London. they cost me A FORTUNE!"
He yelled at the soldier, who was not moving in the slightest.
 
But when Seymour hit the Fish-man, he never even saw it coming. The captain's fist whipped around and was in the Eniram's scaly face before it could even twitch a fin.
It was thrust backwards hard, slamming its head against the far wall with such force that green matter splattered out from the back of its head.
The limp body of the soldier slid to the ground.
 
Niples removed a hankerchief from his breast pocket and dabbed his face lightly where green blood had splattered on him while saying: "dear oh dear oh dear."
 
Katrina appeared from around the corner wielding a mop with precision as if it were a finely crafted blade. She was about to hit the Eniram but realised it ws dead.
"Oh, do I have to clean this one up?" she groaned.
"I'm sorry sweetie." Seymour said, now mopping his coffee stained trousers. "I should have asked him to stand over a blanket, but he just got me so worked up. People like him just have no respect." Katrina rolled her eyes and pulled a vacuum cleaner out of a cleaning cupboard. She started sucking the dripping blood up the hoover but the Enirams head moved and got stuck to the nozzle, before she knew it she had sucked out half of his brains.
 
"Oh I love my job" she sighed. Seymour tip toed around the corpse and kissed her gently on the head, "I know you do dear. Now I'm off to call a meeting, I'll see you later."
 
***The Meeting***
Anyone who can be bothered to turn up
Conference room
 
After the big pink tree made an impressive enterance by falling out of an air vent in the ceiling
"Okay, theres two main things we need to address." Started the Captain, standing up and putting his hands smartly behind his back as he addressed his rather tired and ragged-looking crew. "One is the problem of the Enirams who are attacking the ship. Harris seems to have the situation under control on the promenade, and with the help of a security backup team should have flushed the Enirams out in a few hours. I'm sure once the Enirams know that we can defend ourselves they won't send any more troops."
He looked around at the table. Jay was looking pretty stressed, not surprisingly as his girlfriend had just been taken by the Eniram.
"The second thing I want to bring to your attention if you did not know already, the Eniram have taken a few members of our crew. Commander Whitewolf, CMO Keto, and Miss Viagra. I am not in the habbit of leaving good officers in the hands of crazy alien fish persons, so I will authorise a rescue mission right away."
 
Jay stood in his chair and yelled in excitement.
 
Niples coughed slightly and indicated for Lt. Chrysler to sit down again.
They discussed where to start looking and agreed that the Enirams must have taken their crewmembers to an inderwater base. But not knowing where this base was, it would require some searching.
"We will need to modify a shuttlecraft to fly underwater." said Niples. "Now if we use the SpaceEagle, the modifications will...."
He trailed off as Jay raised a hand in the air.
"Yes Mr. Chrysler?"
"We...urm..can't use the SpaceEagle sir."
"Whyever not? it is a superb craft with advanced-"
"Because it er.... kinda...crashed. Into the Psychiatric department." Jay said, sounding sheepish.
"It crashed?!" Niples said in amazement, his face went red with anger. "Who was driving at the time?"
"It was Cerebrum's fault, he shouldn't have built a psychiatric office there..."
"Who was driving?"
"Me sir." Jay admitted. "but I was hit by a missile."
The captain rubbed his eyes with his index finger and thumb. He didn't need this right now, they had enough to repair as it was.
"Alright, in that case we'll use the Pheonix. Mr. Chrysler, can you make the adjustments to the Pheonix's engines so that it will fly underwater? I dont want the engine to flood and have to get out and push."
 
"Does that mean you're going on the mission" asked Jay. The tree rustled.
Niples nodded. If there is an Eniram base, I want to get a close look, maybe even contact them and ask to borrow a few hundred jet packs to get us off this planet.
 
A few people shook their heads at the Captains decision. "What if something gos wrong, we'll have no captain or first officer." said someone in the room. There were echoes of "Well I'm not taking command." and "I dont want a captain's responsability".
"Nonsense!" said Niples. "I won't come to any harm, I can take care of myself against the Eniram. Besides I'll have a great pilot with me," he pointed at Jay. "But if I dont come back, then Chief Navigation officer Bestrom is in command." he pointed at Kayn who sat there with the 'who me?' expression slapped to his face.
"Now, any more voulenteers?"
 
***The Eniram base, T'kha'Bath***
Whitewolf, Alotta, Keto + Steev
After that groovy rap by ww + Steev
 
 All of the Blue Dwarfers suddenly found themselves surrounded by Eniram gurads again, who promptly lead them to a huge chamber in the centre of the base. On either side was glass walls, allowing different parts of the base to be seen, and through the glass, and more glass was the water- where they could see fish swimming around outside.
 
"Why have you brought us here?" demanded Whitewolf. The Eniram soldier who seemed to be the leader faced him.
"The supreme ruler wished to see you. For we have a new plan, a plan which will end your Aeron race forever, making us the rulers of this world."
"look, we keep telling you- we are not Aerons...."
"SILENCE!"
"But who is the supreme ruler?" asked Alotta, looking around the room. In the centre of the room was a big pedestal, but it was empty.
A mechanical humming sound echoed through the room, gradually it got louder.
The Eniram facing the Blue Dwarfers smiled. "The supreme ruler graces us with her prescence."
The top of the pedestal opened up like a giant metal rosebud, and ascending on some kind of lift was what must be the 'supreme ruler'.
"Its a fish. Just a big fat fish!" exclaimed Steev.
"SILENCE! The supreme ruler will talk to you now!"
 
The four officers watched the huge fish curiously as it floundered its finy fins on the pedestal. It opened its huge lips, ready to speak.
Alotta wondered what a fish sounded like, maybe it sang like an angle. Maybe it walked perfectly good english, maybe ithad a language of its own which was so complex-
"Blah." Said the supreme ruler.
"Blah?" repeated Steev. "What the heck does that mean?"
"SILENCE!" Said the Eniram. "I shall translate for the Supreme ruler. What she wants to tell you is that we, the Enirams have created a missile so powerful that it will destroy your Aeron base, and all of the Aerons in one attack."
"But we're not-"
"SILENCE! We will arm the rocket and will fire when the countdown is finished, you will remain in this room and watch on the TV monitors as your entire race is wiped out. We, the Enirams will then take over the world!!"
 
Steev blinked. "You got all that from 'blah'?"
 
"The missile will launch in 12 hours."
"Why so long?" Asked the gargantuan hamster.
"Dramatic effect mostly." Admtted the Eniram.
 
<<Okay people, I hope this is okay for you. We need to sort out the rescue party, rescue ww, alota, steev + Keto and then get back to the ship in time to warn the Aerons.>>
