Re: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] The Thomas Manuver

Jay stood at his desk in his office, facing out of the window.
"Dean" he said "THe Chrysler manouvere saved thousand of lives, but this 'thomas' manouvere is just plain stupid"
"Well......yeah" said Dean "But it was an accident!"
"Thats exactly my point Lt.!" Jay said turning to face Dean, "You're a professional pilot and I wonder how you ever learnt to fly a KITE!"
"come on Jay.its only happened" counting on his fingers it took him 5 whole minutes "3 times!"
"THREE times? most people dont do it ONCE!, granted once you were shot down by...me...but the other two, Dean, there are 12 shuttlebays on this ship and the doors will open automatically for emergency landings? Pray tell why do you insist on landing in the DRIVE ROOM?!"
"umm.."
"Dean, my WIFE was in the drive room all three times"
Dean said nothing just looked at the ground, hands behind his back shuffling his feet.
"RIght now I want you to go WITH LOMAZ!" he said loudly to emphasizre he didnt want Dean alone in a shuttle right now "to find Kara, I'll follow as soon as I've reported to White Wolf"
"Aye sir!" Dean said smiling thinking he'd been let off
"BUT, when you get back, between your shifts with Katrina I want you taking flying lessons"
"With who? you?"
"Nope, with Amber!"
Amber entered "Dont worry Dean, I'll make sure its FUN!"
"Oh Dean..message from Phil" Jay said "In his words 'mock my daughter, annoy my daughter or just plain be a tit around my daughter and Olafs 12 incher will be getting some exercise!"
 
Dean left, looking sheepish

"I heard that!" said Dean over the comm, as he flew over the top of the tanker, and lost another landing leg, this one claimed by a fighter.
"10 minutes until we reach the BD." said Kara over the comm.
"And we're out of fighters." said Amber.
"Well, that was pretty quick." said Jay.
"I think that fight was 'rig'ged." said Dean.
"Man, that is a bad pun." said Kara
Dean flew too close to the tanker and lsot the other legs off his ship.
"Watch it man!" said Jay.
"Dean's 'legless' as usual" said Kara,
"Har-de-har-har." said Dean, "Tank-er you very much, did you have to be so 'crude'?"
"Can we stop this?" asked Amber, starting to get sick of the puns.
"It helps pass the time."
"Oil be back when this is over." said Amber.
"Erm..guys, I've sprung a leak!" said Dean
"Thomas, why are you trying to catapult vegetables across your cockpit in the fist place?" asked Jay.
"I mean in my hydraulics, I can't steer this smegging heap."
"Great."
"30 seconds till arrival, or impact, depending on which perspective you look at it from." said Kara.
"Looks like I'm going to hit the driveroom.......again." said Dean.
"That's the third time you've carried out that act isn't it?" asked Amber.
"Yeh, the rest of the crew are starting to call it 'The Thomas Manuever." said Jay
"This is Starbug 1 to the DriveRoom of the Blue Dwarf." said Dean
"Yes Dean?" came Alota's voice
"10 seconds." came Kara's.
"RUUUUNNNN!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Dean, adopting the crash position....
