**Action** Parallels pt 3
Onboard the Blue Dwarf
Just after the Starbug lands
Â
The doors to the Starbug open and Captain Cannon, Commander Niples and Major Harris jump out. Niples turns to the security chief.
"Count everyone again, I want to know if we have any doubles here."
Â
After saying that, Commander Niples ran out of the flight bay and into the lift which would take him up to the Drive-room. Kayn quickly squeezed into the lift with him as the doors closed and began teling the commander all about what he had seen aboard the peace ship.
The commander just nodded politely and kept looking at his watch.
Â
***Drive-room****
Â
Niples ran onto the deck and shouted "Report" at the crew. Kayn quickly sat down at the sensor computer and told him what was happening in his annoying squeeky voice.
"There is another Blue Dwarf which has just come from its own dimension drive- it's moving towards the Fatba Star Destroyer.
"What kind of new version?" enquired Niples.
Kayn looked up at him. "This one is more...evil."
Â
Cmdr Niples watched the menacing version of the Blue Dwarf attack the 'Fatba', the Blue Dwarf seemed to be armed with a powerful array of weapons, and definately knew how to use them.
A napalm of plasma streaks, energy bolts and beam weapons hit the Fatba and it shuddered under each impact. The fatba fired off a few of its own "nice" torpedoes but the effect seemed to be neutralised by the scraggy, battle-worn hull of the evil Blue Dwarf.
Â
Niples turned to an out-of-breath Johnson, who had probably legged it up hundreds of stairs to get o the drive room on time to sit down at the communication console.
"Let me talk to the other Blue Dwarf" said Niples, Johnson was about to argue but Niples gave him an all-business look.
Â
Niples took the speaker and said as convincingly as he could, "Unknown vessel. Please break off your attack now."
Â
While the other Blue Dwarf seemed to stop and wonder why it was being ordered around, Captain Efof of the Fatba quickly ordered his ship to retreat. It quickly accelerated faster than the speed of light in "escape mode".
Â
**In the Space Eagle fighter**
The 'real' Efof watched the Fatba retreat, with his double onboard. He was determined to talk to him once again, so kicked the small ship into full power and followed it.
Â
**Blue Dwarf**
Â
The Alternate Blue Dwarf slowly turned in space, as it to intimidate its new prey.
Â
Commander Niples swallowed hard, realising what he'd done.
Â
**Flight bay**
Â
Harris counted everyone as they got off the Starbug, there seemed to be everyone here- except for Phil. If Harris actually had a guilty conscience he'd be feeling sorry for the poor hologram right now, but he didn't, so he wasn't.
As Harris checked the Starbug for any remaining passengers he climbed aboard and checked under every seat, draw and locker like he always did to make sure there were no stowaways.
Â
Checking the last locker he heard something behind him, spinning quickly he was struck on the head by something very very heavy.
The "nice" Kayn smiled to himself as he knocked the man out and was ready to turn around and sneak off into the bowels of the Blue Dwarf when Harris muttered.
"Ow." said Harris, "What did you do that for?"
Â
Kayn-2 realised that it took more than that to take Harris down and hit the man again, and once again to make sure.
Â
Then he slipped out of the Starbug quietly, his rubber trainers making very little noise as he sneaked down a corridor.
Â
**Drive room**
Â
Commander Niples watched the fiersome ship coming towards them.
Â
Just to breat the tension in the room, the voice of the shopkeeper Stewie Mckenzie came over the intercom.
"Commander Niples, your Revolving christmas tree has arrived- please pick it up as soon as possible."
Â
Niples ignored it and asked Johnson to hail the ship- maybe they could resolve this without being beaten to a bloody pulp.
Â
Johnson hailed them. "They're responding sir- but they're putting us on hold first."
Seymour smiled, at least that was a start. His smaile turned to full shock when a rather tinny version of some rock/punk/noise music boomed over the ship's speakers.
Seymour, Kayn, Johnson and another few officers looked at each other in astonishment and covered their ears, while Whitewolf the oversized hamster started dancing to it.
Â
Then the face of a grizzled, rather butch woman appeared on the monitor. At least they thought it was a woman.
Kayn thought it looked a little like Major Harris, but perhaps had hairier arms.
Â
Seymour cleared his throat nervously, and tried to talk as boldly as he could. He was about to speak when another voice came over the intercom.
"McKenzie's store has a new batch of christmas decoration in stock, buy now before its too late!!!!"
Â
Seymour went red with embarrassment and rage, glancing at Johnson who just shrugged.
He turned back to the commander on the screen.
Â
"Now......"
Â
<<OOC- I'll turn this over to Harris who told me off last time because his character wasn't what he'd planned, so here you go!
Â
Everyone else can post from other points of view and what else is going on at this time.
Â
What will Kayn-2 do on the Blue Dwarf?
Will Stewie "The shopkeeper" Mckenzie find out who stole his holo-suits? And will the Security force wonder what he is doing with unlicenced holo-suits onboard anyway?
Will Efof track down Efof-2 and teach him all about the good points of being evil?
Â
Make it up- everyone else does!!!
