RE: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] Assault on shuttle bay 612
A different voice was heard on the speakers of the entire Blue Dwarf fleet.
"Nicely done" it said, somehow familiar. "See how you do against ME!"
as this was said a copy of the Valkyrie appeared from behind them, destryoing several Starbugs and doing minor damage to both the Valkyrie and Phoenix.
"Jay" Kayn said "Isnt that...you're sister?"
"Not MY sister Kayn, Evil Jay's sister...."
her shuttle was expertley piloted, even Jay was impressed,
right now, it was headed for Zodar
And Zodar immediately had the urge to soil his underwear.
"Smeg!"
He resisted to urge and scanned the panel in front of him.
"WHAT?! There's no guns! Where's the guns?!"
The urge was back.
"Hang on, what type of shuttle am I in?"
Zodar looked around.
He was in a Class 22 Blue Midget.
The specific Class that was recalled for faulty engines.
"What if I can load something into the thrusters? Could I use that as weapon?"
Zodar looked around the cargobay of the shuttle. Nothing would fit into the thruster chamber.
What he did see was a weapons locker.
Zodar turned on the microphone to transmit.
"Jay, can you keep her off my back for a second, I have to make some improvements."
Jay replied, "Sure, just don't take too long. I look forward to seeing how you get out of this one..."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence, mate."
Zodar left the radio to put a spacesuit on, then took two bazookoids from the weapons locker and opened the airlock.
The Class 22 Blue Midget was originally designed to have weapons, but when the line was recalled, the weapons were taken off so they could be re-sold at a higher price.
In theory, the bazookoids could be wired into the existing weapons systems and controlled from the cockpit. In theory. But in theory, Zodar shouldn't even be out there.
Zodar clung to the side of the ship. with the bazookoids under an arm.
The Phoenix had engaged the enemy shuttle and was trying to keep it away. Zodar watched it glide past, turning for another sweep.
Working quickly, Zodar installed the Bazookoids onto the weapons turrets on either side of the craft.
Jay was avoiding the fire from the enemy Valkyrie through extraordinary piloting, but managed to get a few shots off, causing some damage to the enemy fighter.
The modifications were rough, but all the electronics were connected when Zodar decided to return to the cockpit.
"Jay! I've finished!"
"What did you do?"
"I strapped two bazookoids to the sides of this thing... I can control the targeting from the cockpit."
"Great! Why don't you defend yourself?"
"I didn't think you needed help."
"JUST SHOOT HER!"
"Oh."
Two blue blasts few from Zodar's ship, hitting Evil Vanessa's ship and resulting in minor damage.
The Valkyrie copy turned towards Zodar's ship and accelerated.
"Oh, no. SHE'S AFTER ME!"
Zodar turned the midget around, changed to reverse with a crunch of gears, then, with even more gear crunches, completed the three point turn and tried running.
He set the throttle to full, but almost fainted when the thrusters flooded with a spluttering sound.
"Um, Jay, Kayn, Anyone? A little help here..."
(Please?!)
