The ship eventually landed and Phil, Tara and FeSod were suspended about 40 feet above ground level clinging on to the side of a space ship, "So any more smart ideas any one?" Tara commented in a sarcastic tone...
-=-
"Jump... you can't break too many bones... can you?"
"Let's think laterally about this" One of the Phils commented
"Laterally... erm... what's the problem?"
"We're stuck up here... the ground's down there"
"Then grow wings"
"Lateral, but stupid Kayn"
"We could always try to salvage some rockets from the Valkyrie and slowly propel ourselves down"
"Touch the Valkyrie and die"
"We could make a rope out of the uphulstory for the leather seating"
"Or we could use the crane hook up there... the cargo thing" Tara said feeling smug. The boys looked at it, looked at thier feet sheepishly...
"Oh well if you want the EASY way out"
"Yeah, if we wanted to be SIMPLE we'd use that"
"Of course we knew that... we're not thick"
Ten minutes later two sheepish Phils and one smug Tara were lowered by crane by a Sheepish Kayn.

Tara and Kayn were sitting down waiting for the elevator to stop at thier floor. Whilst the Phils were having an interensting chat about time temporality, Kayn and Tara decided to have a coffee whilst the elevator light slowly trundled from 999 to thier destination at 8"Erm... thanks for picking us up"
"No Problem... So what the hell happened?"
"We've found a Red Dwarf"
"That's great"
"Bad news is it's full of psychopaths"
"We knew that when we set off...""NO! I mean not of this universe psychopaths"
"Oh... parallel universe stuff again?"
"Yeah... kinda"
"Well sounds like fun" Kayn took a sip of his coffee "Is this what passes for cappuchino these days? I am SO going to sue"
"You sound more concerned about your coffee than the fact we could all die"
"Your point being?"
The elevator finally stopped at 7, The Phils hammered the buttons to make it come back up. Kayn went back to the Valkyrie
"Where you off to?"
"We have a load of nice parallel universe types trying to kill us right?"
"Yeah"
"And these guys are the warlike gungho style types right?"
"Yeah"
"SO what'd happen if we had a lot of spaceships attack our lovely undefendable mining craft?"
"Point taken... So you flying solo?"
"Naa... I'm going to have to call in some support..."
-=-
From the Valkyrie Kayn tapped in all the communication ports
"This is Senior Leuitenant Chief Navigation Officer Kayn..." he smiled as he said all his cute flashy titles "All pilots are to report to the shuttle bays to form a defense against the invasion... and I don't care if you have pointy sticks all the way through you or are piloting the ship or have no lisence...report in five minutes... That is an order!"
He sat back and suddenly added "That is all"
<Phew!>

No picking up three hitch-hikers floating in deep space without expressed written permission and/or a hitch hikers liscense with accompanying guide..." "Why do you need written permission for hitch hikers...?" Tara wondered "Oh sod the corp directives..." the other Phil muttered and swam in space towards the white object "We'll just cling on to the sides... that's not hitchhiking" "It's more like attaching yourself to a bus via grappling hook wearing rollerblades..." Kayn replied Tara and Phil looked at each other with a 'Eh?' expression and swam towards the ship ------------------------------------ The Valkirie floated very slowly past the three spacepeople. They grabbed on to it and the ship swung back towards the Blue Dwarf. Tara soon found out the need for a corps directive about hich hikers. Holding on to the ship was like trying to not move with 16 eels down your trousers.... ie: very VERY hard...
