**Action** "The battle...ends"

WHO: Captain Seymour Niples
WHERE: The BD basecamp
WHEN: In the heat of the battle
 
Seymour shot another robot down with his good hand, his Plebian hand was now rudely scratching his posterior, he snatched it away when his good hand wasn't preoccupied. The Plebian hand now started making obscene gestures at the incoming robots.
"Stop it!" Seymour commanded to the arm. People started to give him concerned looks. The Plebian hand put down all but two fingers and tried to poke the captain in both his eyes.
 
As he struggled with his own arm, Seymour saw a cloud of smoke come from the direction of the city of Maxomegopolis. Through the billowing smoke, a missile launched into the sky, its powerful combustion rockets probably burning whatever was left of the city. Another explosion marked the downfall of the huge floating city. Seymour squinted and saw through the smoke that one of the city's largest towers collapsed as the floating city crashed downwards into it. The building block fell over, causing a second and a third to fall in a domino effect. In the pursuit of revenge, the Plebians had destroyed their own city. But they had so far succeded, the missile was heading upwards, it was no doubt heading towards Earth.
 
Seymour vowed to stop the Missile before it got to his home planet, but for now he had to fight the robots attacking the Blue Dwarf crew.
 
 
--Later...snip--
"DEAN!" Jay shouted "GET THEM OUTTA HERE!" pointing at the Cleavages and Alota. Dean led the way into his shuttle and promptly took off again. Jay and Evil Jay stood looking each other eye to eye. Jay ran, off deep into the forest, pursued by Evil jay.--end later snip--
 
After the battle...
 
<OOC- You don't have to post in this timeframe after the battle just yet, if you still want your character to do something in the battle just make clear that you state it in the WHO, WHEN, WHERE.>
 
The sun was setting, the sky glowed a purply colour and it was getting harder to see by the minute. The last Bazukoids were being fired, the ground was a mess with metal shards and broken mechanical parts. Seymour had to tread over disfunctional robots to get to the rest of the crew. They had found out that the robots always dodged to the left when being shot at, this information had been spread around the crew and was very useful to make the robots easier to destroy. Odd gunshots rang around the camp as crewmen made certain the robots were destroyed.
 
Seymour's mind flickered back to the missile, he knew they couldn't rest or celebrate just yet. He needed to call a meeting of the senior staff.
 
Just then, a gust of wind nearly knocked him over. He looked up and in the dimming sunlight saw the shadow of a Starbug descending upon him, no- two Starbugs. They both landed vertically, spiralling so that their sides and access hatches were facing towards him. After the hissing of the engines died down, Alota, Tara, her children and Dean climbed out of one Starbug and Whitewolf and Cerebrum climbed out of the other.
 
Seymour greeted them, and shouted the order to all the crew who could hear. "Meeting, the Command Tent, as soon as possible."
The crew piled into what was left of the command tent, its fabric having been ripped by a falling robot.
 
Seymour took pride of place in the head chair. "Brave crew!" He started. "We have defeated the robots, I would like you all to pat yourselves on the back for that, we seem to have come out of this with very little casualties."
He looked around the room to see people with dirty faces, torn shirts and various cuts and bruises.
"And we have yet to tell how many of our crew were unfortunately hit by the robots DNA mutating laser and turned into Plebians." He looked around at the unintelligent blank faces and wondered if they would ever be able to tell anyway.
 
"But I'm sure Dr. Keto will be able to come up with an ointment to cure anyone who was converted."
His arm started to play up on hearing this, its fist clenched and tried to punch him in the face. Seymour held it back, whispering to his Plebian arm to stop. He pushed the arm down to his side and noticed everyone was staring at him in disbelief.
"A few hours ago, the technologically advanced floating Plebian base was destroyed. Its self destruct device also destroyed most of the city of Maxomegopolis. We can assume that the Plebians who were plotting to make us Humans suffer are now all dead, but before the base was destroyed a single missile was fired towards Earth."
 
A few gasps escaped the mouths of the crew in the tent. Seymour realised that his hand was sticking a middle finger up at the Engineers on the back row.
 
"It is our duty to protect our home planet. We must get back to the Blue Dwarf immediately and follow the Missile, hopefully we still have enough time to catch it before it reaches Earth."
Seymour turned to Commander Whitewolf. "Will the radiation be dissipated enough for us yet?"
Whitewolf checked his portable hand scanner thingy. "We have has sufficient time Captain, it still might be a bit hot from radiation, but we should be alright as long as we don't mind drinking warm lager."
There were a few mutters of annoyance from the crew.
"It'll have to do." Seymour said, not caring for lager much himself, but annoyed that the bottle of Port he had been saving for 14 years might have now been tainted.
 
He designated teams to take Starbugs back up the the Blue Dwarf which was hopefully waiting for them orbiting the planet. The crew boarded the Starbugs, Alotta checked everyone's names off on a list. When everyone was boarded, the first Starbugs and Blue Midgets started to take off.
Alotta walked over to Seymour and Whitewolf who were discussing how they would explain taking part in a rebellion, destroying a large city and having their crew mutated to J.M.C bosses.
 
"Excuse me sir's. Jay isn't back yet, shall we wait for him longer?"
"We can't wait any longer, the missile is getting closer and closer to Earth as we speak." Niples said, hurredly. "Leave the Pheonix for him so he can catch us up, and write a note on his windshield so he knows where we've gone."
 
Alotta did as he asked and they all climbed aboard the final shuttle and headed back towards the Blue Dwarf.
 
<OOC- so we can all get back to the BD as normal, and can the first helm officer who gets there point us in the direction of the missile. But I don't want us to catch it up JUST yet....>
