Who:- the crew
Where:- The campsite
The cat had literally seconds before it would be turned into a Plebian.
A gust of wind blew throgh the campsite, and Jay Chrysler handed the cat PITA to Katrina, Evil Jay looked to her " Im a cat lover..so sue me" (sorry....not exactly in character but I couldnt let the cat get it....)
Tara standing a few metres form the scne, next to Phil aimed the Bazookoid at Jay.
"You can try killing me later, right now, seems like you got bigger fish to fry" He pointed at the robots as he said this.
"Why do YOU care?" she said, not sure whether to be relieved or scared.
"Because, they're after me too"
Chrysler strolled across the campsite and into the tent where the weapons were stored, he emerged a few minutes later brandishing a sword.
Swinging his blade left, right, up, down, Chrysler took out at least 20 of the robots, even saving several crew members from the fate of stupidity in the process, stopping, he turned to Tara, and pointed, mouthing the words, "You're next" seconds before slicing a robot about to attack Jo Piadies in two.
MEANWHILE
"Your staying right here and helping because your still in my custody, Grabby!" Barked the Major, quickly dumping his load of weapons and Ammo to the floor and turning to address the rest of the group, "Take a weapon if you need one, I'll position myself to the left side of the elevator door, a couple of you take the right side here to cover our way out."
The bulbous hamster led the way for the rest of the crew running along on all fours having succesfully escaped from the commanders office, arriving in the shuttlebay just as the RED ALERT warning began. Cerebrum stopped, he was reading someones mind. "Im reading someones mind" he said "seems like we made somewhat of an....error.."
"What do you mean?" White Wolf asked, suddenly getting concerned, "Well, it wouild appear that the leader of this organisation had a kind of Psychic link with the main computer, Havoc's little outburst with the gun caused his death to trigger the self destruct."
"SMEG!" shouted the entire group at once. Arriving in the shuittle bay, they realised how only one shuttle was ready for flight.
"KAYN?!" yelled Alota "Wheres JaY?!!"
OUTSIDE
Jay skidded to a halt. He was looking down over the edge of a skyscraper, atop the plebe floating city, and could see miles down to the ground. Hearing a clicking noise from behind him he spun around and saw the Pleb super-woman coming out of the door at the top of the stairs. "Nowhere to run human" "So it would seem""Two choices, die or....well..die I guess.""I chose option 3""Option 3?""I kick your sorry ass."There was a rumbling noise, Jay and the woman turned to watch the missle slowly ascending into the heavens. "Too late" said the woman, "By the time you get to earth to warn them, they'll all be lumbering morons" she lunged at Jay, Jay darted aside, reached out with his right arm and flipped her over his shoulder, she put her hands forward, and flipped, landing with the agility of a cat. Jay dived at her, pinning her to the ground by her shoulder's but her super-human strength was too mcuh for the pilot, raising her feet into his chest, she rolled backwards, throwing Chrysler off her, and sending him crashing into a ventilation duct. Dazed he stood, and lunged again, she grabbed his left arm, and threw him to the ground, pinning him to the floor with her stilettoed heel."And now flyboy, we say goodnight" Jay groggilly saw a green flame forming in her fist, which she raised above her head, ready to plunge it into Jays chest when her mobile phone bleeped, playing out the 'NOKIA' theme song."HELLO?!" she yelled "YEAH IM ON THE ROOF"Jay raised an eyebrow, expecting her to pull out a jumbo-mobile.She put her phone back in her pocket and gazed back down at Chrysler."Seems the self destruct has been activated ...shame you wont be around to see it"She raised her fist again, Just as Jay raised a super-sonic foot which impacted with her face at Mach 4. The force of the kick sent her toppling over the edge of the building. Jay stood, as he got to his feet the entire building shook. Looking around, skyscraers all across the floating city were crumbling, the one nearest to the building he stood on suddenly began to burst into flames from the base upwards, blowing the windows out, until the enitre building was engulfed in flames. Looking down, he saw the same thing about to happen to the building on which he now stood, "Well Jay...you had a good innings.." He looked up "Well big guy, I may not believe in you..but take care of ALota for me" something slapped him on the neck. Stepping back he saw it was a rope ladder, looking up, Alota, was looking down from a hatch in the hull of a shuttle."Well" said Jay grabbing the ladder and being lifted off the ground "Maybe next time!"
<sorry WW. but I sped it up a bit, and..you heard onion!>

**ACTION POST**WHERE: The BD campsiteWHO: The crew, a lot of them have their own agendas going on, but the dark cloud of millions of robots coming towards them made them all turn their heads and look.The robots flew together in groups, these groups joined up with other groups, which in turn became groups of more groups. The whole thing was a swarm. Each one of these robots had been constructed with a particle DNA destabiliser and re-sequencer which would turn any human into a slow dimwitted Plebian. Captain Seymour Niples had already been targetted by one of these DNA changer beams, and it had made his arm unreactive and slow (and it had made his wrists oddly hairy).The first wave of robots flew down onto the group, security officers quickly picked them off with bazukoids, but the rest of the swarm were coming fast behind.A Blue Midget flew just ahead of the swarm. Efof, who was piloting the small 2-legged craft saw the tents of the campsite and landed. The command officers and security were moving the civillians to cover, and arming some with weapons for self defence.Captain Niples jumped out of the Midget as it crouched onto the ground, Efof remained in the cockpit and turned the ship towards the incoming robots.Seymour marched himself into the command tent. A security officer quickly gave him a military style coat to wear, and another one was very quick to formally hand the Captain a mug of hot drink. The Captain formally took the drink and sipped it as he sat down at the command desk. "Are the troops in formation to defend the basecamp?" The Captain asked firmly."Yes sir" said a security officer. "The women and children are in a safe location...""...And are surrounded by security forces."The sentance was finished off by a voice Niples wasn't familliar with. The man walked into the tent, saluted the Captain and introduced himself."Ray Durron sir, piloting department. Surrounding the civillians was my idea."Seymour squinted at him, "I thought I knew all of our pilots...""I'm new sir." Ray said."Well, it was a very good idea." Said Niples. "I would have made it myself of course, if I had been here." Niples said pompously.Ray rolled his eyes.Seymour took a sip from the mug he had been handed. "I wanted tea, not coffee!"Just then, the sound of gunfire started. They all turned to head out of the tent when suddenly the tent collapsed in on them. A robot ripped through the tent fabric and crashed to the ground in front of Ray and the Captain. It had obviously been shot down by someone outside."Give me a weapon now. We have to protect the crew." Niples ordered. A security officer threw him a laser rifle. Seymour wanted to grab it with his Plebian arm, but the arm was too slow and stupid. It was trying to count to 11 on its fingers and play thumb-wars with itself. The rifle clattered to the ground."I think I'm better off with a pistol." Niples said and took a laser pistol from the table, after he had dropped his on the top of the skyscraper in Maxomegopolis.He quickly headed outside. It looked like a scene from Hitchcocks "The Birds" although these birds were larger and mechanical. They hovvered and flew about the sky, diving and attacking the crewmen. Officers were firing up at them, civillians were waving metal pipes and pointed sticks at them, and the robots were firing beams of DNA mutating light at the crowds. Seymour hated to think how many of his crew would be converted into stupid morons.A man stupidly walked blindly into the back of him. Seymour turned around, thinking he would see the first of his crew to be turned into a gibbering idiot. "Oh hello Dr. Keto!" he said.Efof made the Blue Midget dance whilst firing its machine-guns in the air, the air so thick with machanical monsters that you couldn't miss hitting them.Amongst the crowd, barkeep Owen Numan didn't know what to do. He'd found that his special power of being able to create super quick cocktails of nasty chemicals and poisons and shoot it very fast hadn't really been very useful until now. He was a civillian so didn't own a weapon, and so this was his only defense against the robots. He decided that as he was a valid part of the Blue Dwarf crew it was his duty to protect his fellow crewmen. After all, these were his customers in Parrotts. He shot a deadly Vodka Martini towards a robot heading towards Katrina Swete, which dropped the robot to the ground, its hull plating dissolving.Katrina Swete ducked as another robot swooped past her. She wondered where her beloved boyfriend was, she guessed he was trying to save the crew. She often wondered who he was more dedicated to, the crew or her.She heard a yelp of fear and a hiss. In a crack on a rock she saw her two PITA's. She tried to get them out but the dog backed away from her. The cat spat more and eventually ran out of the crevice.She chased the cat through the battleground, all over people were fighting the robots, more often than not they were fighting about 5 at a time. Although there were over a thousand crew on the BD, there were many thousands more robots. The cat ran between peoples legs, Katrina chased after it, fearing for its safety."Come back PITA! Its not safe!" she called."No chance, its fecking crazy around here!" shouted the cat. Only Katrina could hear it of course, as she had developed that special power on this planet.Suddenly the cat felt a spotlight on her. She looked up and saw that one of the huge metal birds was firing down on her. "What's happening?!!" The cat screamed, feeling a tingling underneath its fur.The cat had literally seconds before it would be turned into a Plebian.<OOC- Who's going to save PITA? I thought I'd get the battle started, sorry to cut up the sub-plots, I hope you can continue them through all this as the mayhem is going on. P.S I love Tara and Phil's latest sub-plot, especially Tara's last E-mail. >David "Onion" BallCaptain Seymour Niples, JMC Blue DwarfWWW.BlueDwarf.co.uk--------------------------------------------"WE'VE LOST THRUSTERS!"
