Re: "Tether"

<<Jay fired the grappling hook. The clawed metal head shot out from the nose
of the Blue Midget and struck the back of DK's Starbug which was just
reaching the epicentre of the wormhole. It dug deep into the green metal,
disabling one of the engines. Jay slammed the small ship's brakes on and put
it into full reverse, both ships jolted causing Seymour to hit his head
against the windscreen.
He moaned and hopped around whilst holding his nose.
The starbug swung inches away from the edge of the wormhole, it's one
remaining engine not having the power to pull free of the smaller craft's
grip.>>
DK smashed her fist repeatedly on anything that was within her reach,
including Katrina's leg.
"Smeg! Frell! Crap! Shit!" DK screamed. She stood, grabbing Katrina by the
hair. Her blond double screamed in pain, trying to get away, even if it meant
losing a few clumps of hair (it would grow back)
"Let's go, girlie!" DK shrieked. "I have to get that hook off, so you're
coming with me."
"What!?"
"They won't shoot if you're with me," DK explained. "And if they try a rescue
attempt, I'll just cut your oxygen hose. Pretty bloody brilliant, huh?"
"Smeg off!"
---------------------------
With a rope tied around her arms, which were behind her back, Regular Katrina
was dragged behind her dark double. DK held a large instrument (Katrina
didn't know exactly what it was called, being a janitor and all) she was
planning to use to cut the grapple off.
"Seymour, where are you?" Katrina whispered.
DK scoffed, having heard the plea. "That wimp? He's not coming out here to
rescue you. He's probably pissing his pants right now."
"I wouldn't under-estimate my captain," Katrina warned.
(Save me, Seymour!)
