What's outside?

Who: Tara, Phil, Alota………….you should know by now!
Where: I can't believe your asking such silly questions
Why: Now that actually is a good question.
Everybody was bracing themselves. They where going out to find out
what was there, of course somewhere more reluctant then others.
Alota being the female that she was decided to take charge,
"Ok, Hazel your invisible you try and sneak up on whatever is firing
at us, Tara you, Phil and Zodar are coming with me, and I don't care
if you can't remember diddly" Alota commanded. She looked in at the
remaining members
"Keto, it's better if you go out there, Jay's to pissed to go out but
if you stay in here you may end up with something shoved up an
unmentionable orifice" Alota said again, Jay was sat in the pilots
seat snickering at the mental image conjured by that little remark.
"Cerebrum, I think you already know what to do" Alota said, Cerebrum
gave her a `well duh' look, Alota shook her head, "Eve you go too,
make a diversion, do something ok?" Eve nodded.
Alota looked around again an air of confidence was definitely
lacking, they had no idea what was out there, whatever it was could
be dangerous, too dangerous for this fine crew of JMC to handle……….
"Everyone weapons ready?" Zodar* asked, everyone nodded again,
"Now remember where the trigger is, don't accidentally shoot
yourself" for some reason she found herself glaring at Keto, she
didn't know why, to much of Jay rubbing off on her, "Also don't act
too hostile, there are limits we want to come across as a friendly
race of psychopaths". The small bug party moved towards the door,
shooting could be heard from outside,
"Ok Hazel you first" Hazel disappeared through the open bay doors
that quickly whooshed back after she'd disappeared, loud bangs could
be heard from outside,
"Keto that's your queue" Jay shouted from the cock-bay.
"Eve you and Keto are next" Alota said ignoring her husbands remark.
The doors did the whooshing thing and Keto and Eve where now in the
distant, the doors remained open for a second. The sound of fire was
heard, Eve and Keto looked one way, fire balls where being sent
towards them,
"Run"! Eve shouted, Keto ran one way from the firing Eve ran the
other, and then Keto realized he was running towards another fire and
ran back the way he came.
"Muppet" Alota hissed under her breath,
"Tara if you hold the gun that way your going to shoot yourself in
the foot………….no that's not the way either……….. DON'T POINT IT AT ME!"
Phil said as Tara was trying to hold the gun properly, Alota shook
her head again,
"Zodar you and me are going to go last. Phil you and Tara are on the
offensive next" she pushed those two out of the door then lastly she
and Zodar left.
Immense gunfire fled through the air, then Hazel and this weird
Plebian came running to the center of the small battlefield,
"STOP FIRING" Hazel said, about five minutes later the Plebian
shouted
"Stop Fire" to which his Plebian friends stopped,
"What's the matter Hazel? Did you find out who was firing at us?"
Phil asked walking forward with Tara, who amazingly enough hadn't
shot her self, Keto and Eve quickly followed,
"Well you see that's the thing" Hazel said, "Um well ya see" Alota
rolled her eyes this is where they find out something completely
opposite to what they thought"
"We where playing paint ball" the Plebian man spoke, slowly dimly
"We picked up our…" he looked down at the handle of the gun "546-
explodingsnappers when we where coming out onto the field", it took a
while for the name to snap into place for the Plebians but the Bdians
where getting amazingly annoyed. A few more minutes passed,
"OOPS wrong gun" The Plebian said,
"Sir we are a peaceful race of people, but unless you get running now
we can't be held responsible for our impending actions" Alota said
solemnly.
