An oversized hamster sets outs to capature an oversized bug!
Where: Engineering.
When: As the pilots try to Pull the Dwarf out of it's death plunge...
Who: Various characters. (Read it and see for pete's sake... Okay,
how about Keto's then?)
Engineer, Third class Damin openned a fuse panel and shined his
torchlight inside it, "Ah, here's the problem... Fuse #34635 is
blown."
He went over to his tool box and searched through it, then searched
the nearby parts bins, then his pockets, "Bloody 'ell... we're outta
fuses. Hmm, I guess I could use something metal to bypass it."
He looked at his trusty tools in his toolbox, and muttered, "Uh uh...
Gotta be something around here I don't need to it."
Then, as Tom, Dick & Harry walked by on thier rounds, Damin glanced
at thier holsters for a moment, then nodding to himself, he quickly
nicked a LA pistol when they weren't paying attention. Which was
pretty with the three of them sharing only one brain cell.
Damin went over to the panel, took out the bad fuse and shoved the
pistol in place of blown, causing the lights all over the Blue Dwarf
to suddenly come on.
"Problem solved." he muttered to himself while walking away, when
unfortunately, because the electrical current made the entire metal
gun heat up, the LA Pistol went off, shooting him in the bum.
"Blimey! Perhaps I should've used their blemming combat shotgun..."
Commented Damin as he grabbed the blood gushing wound with his left
hand and limped towards the Medi-bay.

Meanwhile in the Drive Room, White Wolf looked at the gaggle of
people requesting to be on the away, and pratically had to yell to be
heard - "Yes, your all coming on this little safari. We'll meet up in
the landing bay to launch as soon as the power gets restored, so we
can make preparations.", just then all the lights suddenly popped
on, "Oh, okay, that problems solved. Dean your piloting, Jay your our
backup, in case of trouble. Phil, I want you to round up as many of
the Security dept that will fit in a Starbug with heavy combat gear,
and see what you can come up with for using as a cage for our
captured wild 'beast'. Jasmine, I want you to bring everything you
think your going to need for a combat ready triage for the crew, I
think we're gonna need it. Tara, I want you to bring whatever we can
use to preserve & examine alien physiologies, we're going try to
collect a live bug, but we might also get a chance to do a few
autopsies while we're down there. Eve, get any scientific equipment
from the lab, with a special focus on data gathering, scanning, and
recording this might be our only visit, let's maximize our
understanding of these alien as best as we can, and if you have to,
tell Trisees you've got my complete authorization. Cain your coming
along too! Your the only probably the only other person besides me
here that has any amount of strategy & tactical or heavy combat
experience. Allie..."
The huge hamster paused, as comm. unit beeped, and he went over him
answered it, "Drive room, this is the Captain, What's up?"
Wd-40's worried voice replied, "Wd-40 here, sir. I've found Miss
Chryseler lying in the hallway. She seems to be unconscious with a
head injury. I think she may have been caught off guard by the sudden
restoration of gravity, sir."
"Smeg! Take her to the medi-bay." replied White Wolf.
"Yes, Sir. I'm already on my way. Wd-40 out."
The rotund hamster turned to his fiancé and said, "I'm sorry,
Sweetie - But, It's looks like I going to need you to stay here on
the Blue Dwarf with my new first officer being out of action to take
command. Um, I guess that sorta makes you my second officer. Besides,
I might need some like you pull us out of there if things get hairier
than me down there..."
He gave her a quick hug and peck on the cheek, "And stay sharp Dear,
some more enemy ships may come aknockin while we're having our little
Safari, hoping to check somebody with there pants down." and he
started walking for the door.
Then Mp pants suddenly hit the floor, and Phil screamed "Not now, you
git!".
<Tag, Dean, Jay, Tara, well everybody! Time's awasting gang!>
