Oh Dean
Just so everyone remembers Dean is still in Amber's body
There's a few snips, just a warning
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Who: Eve, Jasmine, Dean/Amber, White Wolf, Allie, Phil, MP, Jay,
Tara, security thugs & others...
When: Read it and you'll work it out
Where: Blue Dwarf and planet below
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<SNIP>"Well, with any luck, you won't need to pilot, I'm here." said
Dean, grabbing Jasmine around the waist. "I'm back! And I've not
practised any gymnastics for a long time..." said Dean, remembering
that trampoline...<END SNIP>
<OOC:You miss me Jas?><<Of course I did>>
"And you won't again til your back in your own body, Dean Raven
Thomas""I don't wanna know!" Eve snapped at the two
<SNIP>"Oh, public displays of affection. How cute," Allie said as she
entered the room.<ENDSNIP>
"Only because you know it's Dean in there, otherwise you'd think it
was very wrong... a 24-yr-old woman being held around the waist and
kissed by a 15-yr-old girl."
"What's wrong with a bit of girl and girl action?" Dean said
"DEAN!" Jasmine, Eve and Aliie shouted at once.
<SNIP>She went over and kissed White Wolf. "There you are, cutie.
I've been looking for you. I want to go on this mission, too." "You
do?" WW asked. "Yes. I'm a hard-light hologram, remember? Practically
indestructible. I could come in handy," Allie explained. "Besides, I
need a break from the wedding planning. A dangerous mission sounds
just like what I need." 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..." <ENDSNIP>
While the hamster paused to answer the beeping comm. unit, Dean tried
to steal a kiss from Jasmine
"Dean not now" Jasmine hissed in a whisper
"No-one's paying attention! Are they Eve?" Dean whispered back
"It's not that you idiot, it's the fact you look like Amber" Eve
whispered back to Dean
"I just don't know what to do with you sometimes Dean" Jasmine
whispered one last time
<SNIP>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!".<ENDSNIP>
White Wolf kept walking not wanting to see what had happened. The
others were walking out after him, Dean/Amber, Jasmine and Eve
leaving just before Phil and MiniPhil.
"Does he really have to come to?" Eve said pulling a face
"Yeah he's all weird, can't you leave him on board Phil" Jasmine's
face mirroring Eve's
"Oh come on girls he ain't that bad" Amber's voice said
"Thank you Dean" Phil said
"Your only safe because your a guy" Eve said
"No I'm not!" Dean said looking down "I'm a girl!"
"Not just any girl, your his daughter" Jasmine pointed out
"Hmmm, point taken"
Phil went with MiniPhil to round up some thugs, Eve left for the
science department, leaving Jasmine and Dean, who tried to give
Jasmine a quick kiss but failed again. Jasmine ran off to the Medi-
Bay after Tara and Dean turned to catch up with Jay/Rio.
~Sometime later, all away team on the unlucky Starbug~
Dean sat in the pilot's chair, trying to adjust it for Amber's body,
Jasmine followed everyoneelse into the midsection.
<SNIP>"THOMAS!" he yelled "What Jay?, Cant' you leave me alone for
once!" "Sure but, TURN YOUR BLOODY INDICATORS OFF!" "oops....sorry!"
the blinking orange light stopped "And your wipers..." "Sorry!" "And
Dean..." "Yeah?" "Pull your landing gear up..." "Jay." "Uh-
huh?" "Unlike your fancy hot-rod, this standard Starbug." "So?" "Non-
retractable gear!" "Yes, but it still should fold back
slightly" "Hmm.. fair enough" "Blimey" said Jasmine, entering the
cockpit, "to think I thought you were intelligent." "I agree, But I
didn't believe it", said Jay over the comm. "I know." said Jasmine in
return, "You want me to do anything useful?" "Erm.. yes, get someone
who's sciencey in here will you?" "Why not me?" "Because I need
someone sciencey is a good start!" said Dean, smiling. "Fair enough."
said Jasmine, "Eve?" she shouted to the midsection, where Phil and
some heavies were playing cards. "Uh-huh?" came the reply, "Can you
come here a second?" "Sure, what is it?" said Eve, standing in the
door. "I need someone sciencey on the sciencey-type
console." "Why?" "So that you can tell us where the big bad bugs are
of course." "Ok, I got you there." "Alrighty, entering nebula now,
BD" said Dean into the comm. "BUCKLE UP GUYS!" he yelled towards the
mid-section. The Bug entered the nebula, "Ok, radio's gone!" yelled
Dean "Science Console's out!" yelled Eve "same at Nav!" yelled
Jasmine. "Ok, controls are sluggish, as I have no power to help me.
Everything electrical's gone!" "LIFE SUPPORT!" yelled Jasmine towards
the midsection, "IS IT STILL ON?" "OxGen. has gone!" came the reply,
"Alright, aiming for the clearing, but all my instruments are
out!" "What the hell is going on?" yelled Tara, storming into the
cockpit. "BRACE!" The Starbug gouged a 20 metre deep valley into the
landscape, "CASTLE AHEAD!" yelled Jasmine as she flew towards the
windscreen. Dean hoisted the unconscious Jasmine on his
shoulders, "RUN! IT'S GONNA BLOW!!!!" The cockpit crew leapt through
flames that were threatening to engulf the area, and joined the
midsection in running for the airlock. "Good thing this isn't
electric." said Dean. Tara whispered to him, "IT IS?" "How long we
got you reckon guys?" said Phil "Around 5 minutes." said Dean, "then
the fire reaches the fuel tanks and we all die. Horribly." "Ever the
optimist eh?" said Jasmine, waking up, but remaining on Dean's
shoulders. "We're doomed." said Tara, simply. "Wait a second!" yelled
Dean, leaping back into the cockpit through the flames. "DEAN!"
yelled Jasmine. Dean then reappeared, singed, and with some
scaffolding from his homemade battering ram under his arm! "Here we
are!" "What is that?" asked Tara. "Watch. Phil, Guys, all of you,
take hold. Now! CHAARGE!" <BAM!> "CHAAARGE!" <BAM> "CHAAARGE!" <BAM,
THUD> "One down, now the outer door to go." "3 minutes." said
Jasmine. "CHAARGE!!" <BAM!> "AGAIN!" <BAM!> "AGAIN! IT'S NOT
ENOUGH!" <BAM!> <BAM!> <BAM!, THUD!> "RUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!" yelled Dean,
as the crew all leapt through the battered airlock. They all dove for
cover, leaping over the peasants, who had gathered around for a
look. "Security, they're going to die. Move them!" The security
heavies stayed still. Phil stepped in as translator. "They are
obstructing our acces to the bug, remove them." The BD Security Team
moved in and had the peasants out of the way just in time. The Bug
exploded. "Dean?" asked Jasmine, "have you ever landed on a planet
without blowing up a Starbug? You did on New Ibiza too!" "It's a
nasty habit I have." "The native's don't look too friendly!" said
Tara. She was right, the knights had whipped out swords, and they
were encircling the BD Crew. "Oooh, err.." said Dean. "May I?" asked
Jasmine "Don't let me stop you." said Phil "We no like Big Bad Bug's
either." she said. "We fight with you! We forced to leave home as
they destroy it!" "Hm... they're buying it!" Indeed, they had, one of
the knights had gone up to collect Duke Von Velcro himself, "Ladies
and Gentlemen, I humbly invite our allies in the battle to a feast in
the great hall!" "KickASS!" said Dean, "Nice one Jas!" he said,
kissing her. "Get a room." said Phil, pushing past to get to the
food....<ENDSNIP>
"Wait" Phil stopped, turned around and walked back to them "Don't
even think of doing anything in my daughter's body, you hear me
Thomas"
Dean gulped
"Glad that's sorted" Phil said and then ran off towards the food
yelling, "Hey save me some"
"That's a nasty bump on the head you've got there Jasmine" Eve said
"Damn all the equipment's in the blown up bug" Jasmine noted, kicking
a nearby rock
