Niples- "Backup"

OOC-Thanks Dean for doing the Action post, and for the little notice
afterwards :-)
RPG:
Ambassador Seymour Niples
Chief Navigation Officer’s office
Seymour walked through the door with his nose held high to try and make
himself look important. Jay was sat at his desk looking at sensor scans on
his computer so didn’t notice.
“We’re on the backup team?” Seymour enquired to start a conversation, really
he just wanted to moan at someone but everyone else seemed to be busy.
“That’s right” Said Jay, who was also busy.
Seymour went on, not noticing that he might be annoying Jay. “But I’m a very
important person, I should have been on the first Starbug, they might have
needed me.”
Jay looked up. “Really? What exactly do you do?”
Seymour scowled at him, but never gave an answer.
Jay looked back at his computer screen. Seymour walked around the back of
him to see what he was doing. It showed the flight path as the Starbug
entered the red Nebula.
“The Starbug seemed to loose power as it went in, we can’t get that much of
a good scan because its like a thick soup in there- but look…” Jay pointed
to the map.
“The Starbug’s engines go dead and it looks like it drifts towards the
planet.”
“You mean they crashed?”
“Well Dean was piloting, we expected that, but I mean that they probably
crashed due to ANOTHER reason.”
“Like the nebula seemed to distort its engines….. then how are we possibly
going to rescue them?” Seymour asked. “Sending another Starbug or Blue
Midget might have the same effect.”
“We could send another team down there to see if they can repair the
Starbug….. but that would probably crash too, what if we made a parachute?
Or….a glider?”
“A gliding Starbug? Preposterous!”
“No, it’ll work, I’m sure I saw it on Blue Peter once…”
Jay ran out of his office, head full of great ideas. Seymour shook his head
in confusion.
Jay popped his head back to quickly say “Oh, and by the way Seymour- I’ve
stocked up on lots of our special weapon against the Hymenoptera.”
“Oh good,” Said Seymour, absent-mindedly noseying through some of Jay’s
paperwork.
Jay left again and Seymour suddenly wondered what he meant.
Then having a suspicion, went down to the storage locker where he kept his
bottles of expensive vintage wines. The lock had been broken.
Looking inside, nothing could prepare him for the shock and horror he now
felt.
“Good God!”
His collection was all gone.
<Tag, Jay- I thought I’d put your idea into practise>
