A Spooked Hamster, an annoyed hamster, and a Curious hamster

NRPG - This is a short post (for me anyway), Since I've been quite
busy recently, Sorry about my absence! An network engineer's job is
very unpredictable...
RPG -
Lt. White Wolf
(Aboard our Blue dwarf) Outside of Major Frank Harris's office.
Quite sometime after Harris's appointment for White Wolf
White Wolf had been waiting outside of the Majors door for his
appointment with Harris for nearly four hours. He'd long come to the
conclusion that the Major must be furious with him for something, and
this was his way of getting even. But the thing that perplexed him
the most was, he hadn't the slightest idea what it was he done wrong!
The thought of some unknown wrong tate he unwittingly committed and
the unknown punishment that was about to befall him made him nervous.
And whenever he was nervous, he would absentmindedly begin stroking
his fur, which would lead to him preening himself, and whenever the
preening went on for too long, it would eventually lead to him being
rather rubbed raw in some places. He nervously looked down at the
large clumps of fur that were collecting at his feet, and thought
morosely "Harris is going to do something real nasty, I just know it!
Oh dear, I've worried my fur thin again. He'll probably stick me with
using a sonic toothbrush to clean out the coolant tubes in
engineering." The Worried hamsters head snaps up, "engineering?" he
blurts, and glancing at the chronometer on the wall, "I'm late for my
shift!" The 6 foot 1 inch, hamster suddenly scrabbles down the hall,
barely making the corner without crashing into the far wall.
Minutes later, the panting and sweating hamster arrives in
engineering. An dirty looking engineer looks up, and says
casually, "Oh good, We got this package for Phil from the other blue
dwarf. It says that it needs to be taken up to Phil's office and set
up. Nobody here has any idea what these plans are, and we know it's
going to get screwed up somewhere, and Phil will probably blame and
do something nasty to the guy who set it up wrong. So we took a vote,
and we volunteered YOU to set it up. Besides, we all figure Phil
would really hate it if a hamster set it up. Perfect, Huh? Here ya
go!." The engineer hands him a huge three ring binder containing spec
plans.
White Wolf glances at the large package momentarily while panting and
wiping the sweat out his eyes, and opens the three ring binder. With
a look of utter disbelief he throws it over his shoulder, and shakes
his head while muttering loudly "That's all? You've got to be
kidding! Phil goes through all the trouble of going over to thier
ship in a alternate reality and he has them send over a kit for a
really primitive attempt at creating additional space for his office?
If he wanted something like that, at least, he could've bothered to
ask me, I've built a really good N-dimensional pocket universe in my
ship nearly five years ago! Oh for, Great Hamsters sake... Toss this
junk into incinerator, and I'll go get my spudger* from my ship."

Lt. White Wolf
The blue dwarf(ours) hanger bay
Minutes later
White Wolf clambers up into his small arrow like craft. The interior
is huge, belying the fact the that it looks like such a small craft
on the outside. The huge hamster slams shut the hatch behind him, and
the whole ship jolts as the Blue dwarf is hit with a barrage of
niceness.
White Wolf shrugs, and mutters "I've got to tweak those inertia
dampers, slamming the hatch shouldn't be that bad."
Scuttling down the hallways, and clambering up several flights of
ladders and spiral staircases, he enters a large library. Moving to
past the large sections with signs saying `Experimental transtemporal
dynamics', `hsper warp field dynamics', `Extreme bifurcations
Engineers quarterly magazine'.
He comes to a stop by a smaller reference section with a sign
marked, `N-Dimensional mechanics reference guides'. He quickly runs
his fore paw over the various titles, and he mutters "I've got to
come up with something other engineers will be able to understand,
otherwise I'll be the only one who can maintain it, and that would
waste a lot of time."
His fore paw stops over a title, `N-Dimensional Pocket Universes for
Dummies'. "Ahh, that should do it!" exclaims the six foot 1 inch
hamster, as he grabs out the small tome.
Suddenly the whole ship jolts again. This time the six foot 1 inch
hamster gets buried in books. It takes several moments for him to dig
himself out from underneath them all. And another jolt buries him
underneath more books. From underneath the books, the hamster says
with annoyance, "That better be another example of Kayn's bad
parking."
Digging himself once again, and as he pokes his head out from
underneath the pile of books, someone who obviously wasn't there
before, startles and exclaims "Oh no! The teleporter shrunk me down
to the size of a rodent, and I'm inside some insane doll house
library!"
Looking curiously at the new comer for a moment, the six foot 1 inch
hamster pulls himself further from the pile and inquiries "Who are
you? And what are you doing in my ships library?"
------------------
Will we find out who White Wolf met?
Will anyone care for the crumby attempt at picture that was made for
the event?
Will this clueless hamster engineer figure out that the BD is under
attack?
Will Phil ever get to see his dream office?
Will Harris invent a new game called `bungee hamster'?
Will these silly end of the episode drama questions ever cease?
Stay tuned for the further adventures of the Blue Dwarf to find out!

*Yes, `spudger' is a REAL tool, no on duty engineer should be without
one!
(I'll be sending my truely pathetic graphic of this to Niples - since
I'm posting from the web and can't do attachments from here.)
