The hamster goes shopping...
Newer OOC - I posted this quite some time ago, and since it seems to
have never arrived, so I'm trying again. Please excuse anything that
may be a bit dated...

Who: Everyone cramming themselves into the Phoenix.
When: After everyone was mentally traumatized by seeing Dean naked...
Where: If you don't already know where we are, Syheb would like to
suggest selling you his book on 'Megamemory'...
"Warm up the engines, Jay. I'll be back in a moment, I've got to go
get a couple of things from Syheb's discount highway robbery..."
yells the overgrown hamster, before getting off the Phoenix and
dashing over into Abdul's Tummy-n-fuel store.
The huge hamster stopped inside the door and muttered "Gas-n-food
poisoning would've been a more apt name for this place...", while
noticing row after row of various expired food products sitting on
the shelves.
As Syheb followed the huge hamster into the store, White Wolf
starting ransacking the tape aisle, throwing aside various packages
of tape pell mell.
"You see, We have good imported american products, no cheap foriegn
imitations!" comments Syheb as he steps behind the large hamster
smelling a sale.
White Wolf examined a package of silverish colored rolls of tape, as
he read the packages printing 'made in the A.S.U.' and notice the
tape rolls was already showing signs of coming apart.
"Yeah, right! And I'm the captain of the Blue Dwarf!" Remarked the
huge hamster sarcastically, "What kind of a store has Masking tape,
Packing tape, Scoth tape, reflective tape, electrical tape, audio
tape and 8 track tape, But NO DUCT TAPE!?!"
Syheb looking confused replied, "But we have all tapes displayed
here, except the 100 mile an hour tape which is in our Army Surplus
section out back."
The huge hamster did a double take and quickly dashed through a door
at the back of the store marked by a sign reading "Abdul's Army,
Navy, Adventure Surplus and Clearance". The overgrown hamster ran by
row after row of weapons searching. And the stops next to a table
marked "plane repair supplies" near a snub nosed Grumman XF5F-1 plane
which was forming the rear part of the store. The table loaded with
rolls of various sized Duct tape.
"I'll take it!" Says White Wolf while grabbing a nearby shopping cart
and quickly loading the rolls of tape from the table into the cart.
"Holy mackel! There's enough weapons in here to outfit a small army!"
Says Havoc who came to get White Wolf.
"Abdul must do brisk business with the local freedom fighters..."
remarked the huge hamster pushing his cart towards the door.
"They've got MD41A Suppresive foam guns, APL-250 Anti-personnel
lasers, and the latest OICW's!" Says Havoc in awe.
"OICW's? What did that stand for again? I'm a little rusty on the
weapon names, after not being the military for so long. " Said the
overgrown hamster.
"Objective Individual Combat Weapons." Answered Havoc, while picking
up a small metal sphere and looking at it before setting it back down
and continuing "Even I don't recognise some of the this stuff. Like
this one in the box looks like a rifle, but I've never seen one like
this."
White Wolf stepped over while glancing down into the box and glazing
over went, "An M-50 Special Services Sniper Rifle! Ohhh.... This
brings back so many memories."
"You used to be a Sniper?" Asked Havoc looking surprised.
"Yep, I was the best jungle crawling high mag scope 2000 yard sniper
around for a short time." replied White Wolf distractedly, then
quickly snapping out of his trip down memory lane, tosses the Sniper
rifle into his cart.
"We might need some of these weapons & ammo Havoc, why don't you grab
some of the Apl-250's & OICW's? Syheb, Do you know what this thing
here is?" says the huge hamster while holding up the small metal
sphere Havoc was examining a moment earlier.
"Ahh, that is one of our most popular items, the A5-1A 50 yard radius
Emp grenade, we get one is every month for the anti-robot
manufacturing activists, but they haven't come by to purchase it
yet." replies Syheb happily showing off his weapons expertise ,while
Havoc loaded up another cart load of weapons and pulled up next to
the hamster and commented, "That could come in handy."
"We'll take all this, Syheb." Says the volumous hamster, throwing it
into his cart and pushing it towards the exit.
"And how will you be paying for that? Master card, Lady visa or
Corporate account?" Responded Syheb picking up the paymasters-R-us
machine from the counter next to the door .
"umm... yes, Just a moment..." Said White Wolf while digging in his
vest pocket to pull out his Vidman containing his holosim networking
& engineer diagnostician, Sam.
"Captain, the phoenix is warmed and waiting!" Yells Jay from the
Phoenix interupting.
"Aren't you getting me mixed me up with Seymour?" called back White
Wolf out the door.
"No, he's not! You've been the Captain ever since General Anders
removed Seymour Niples from command of the Blue Dwarf because he
blames him for this Plebian Robot invasion, and declared shore leave
some time ago." Replied Phil via the Phoenix's public address
speakers.
The rotund hamster blinked, and muttered, "First he gets rid of
Seymour because of the invasion, then he sends everyone down for
shoreleave on the planet that is threatened by the invasion... With
idiocy like that, I wonder if General Anders didn't already get hit
by a Plebian conversion ray?"
"Payment method sir?" inquired Syheb again.
White Wolf quickly said, "Sam, can you connect into the ATM network
and bring General Anders private account numbers?"
"Certainly, sweetie!" Happily bubbled the pretty blonde Holosim of
the British Singer, from the little screen.
"Thank You."
"Here they there are, and don't be such a stranger!" Coo'ed Sam,
While replacing her beautiful face with display of the bank account
numbers.
"Umm... Yeah sure." Replied White Wolf uneasily as he suddenly got
the feeling as if he were cheating on Allie, and quickly making a
mental note to take her on a nice evening out when this was all over.
Turning the display to Syheb, he said, "Just bill all these and two
more months of supplies for the Anti-robot activists to these
accounts, Syheb."
"And a pair of these, too." Says Havoc quickly grabbing a pair of
blue surgerical scrub pants.
Minutes later they finished loading everything in the Phoenix. As the
overgrown hamster passes Dean handing him the scrub pants
explaining, "Havoc thought you might be chilly wearing only my vest."
