Starbug, Skutters and Space (oh my)

Who: Elwood
When: Well if the little claw is on the 3, and the big one is on...
Where: A dwarf that isn't MP and is blue (and black - scorch marks)
The AR machine gave an electronic sigh as Elwood disconnected himself
and returned the flying manual to its usual shelf.
As he left the suite, the skutter became aware of the general chaos.
Alarms, smoke, fire, rats leaving via escape pods... all usual apart
from the huge scary ship that was lurking the other side of a
porthole.
"Holly... what's going on?" Elwood asked, turning to a monitor.
Holly appeared, his eyes closed.
"Who's that?"
"It's me, Elwood"
"Oh... alright little dude?"
"Not really"
"Why's that?"
"Well I don't know quite what's going on"
"Really?"
"Yes, really"
"That's too bad... it's ever so exciting"
"What is?"
"The things that are going on"
"What's going on?"
"Exciting things"
Not for the first time in his existance, Elwood wondered who had more
IQ - him or Holly.
"Can you TELL me what's going on EXACTLY?"
"Oh no"
"Why?"
"Because I don't know"
"I thought you knew everything"
"I do! Just... not what's happening now"
"So you clearly don't know everything... honestly, I'm disappointed"
"Look here, the only reason I don't know what's going on is because
I'm too scared to open my eyes"
"Why are you scared?"
"There's lots of those big bright things that don't make noise in
space unless you're watching Star Trek"
"Stars?"
"No, the hurty ones"
"Explosions?"
"That sounds about right"
"So we're under attack... or Keto and Cerebrum are having another
gentleman's duel using bazookoids"
"One of 'em"
"Okay Hol, which way's the nearest Starbug?"
Holly pointed blindly... which wasn't especially helpful as he didn't
have hands. Still, after a few wrong turns and several staircases,
Elwood found a docking bay. He wheeled up the boarding ramp and into
the mid-section.
"Let's see..." he mused, digging in the junk underneath the scanner
table; "There might be something... aha!"
The skutter dragged out a small plank of wood and leaned it against
the steps into the cockpit, making the area accessible. He returned
to the scanner table and pulled a few feet of string, some sticky
tape and a few other odds and sods up the ramp.
After a few minutes, Elwood was ready.
With a surprising amount of grace and control, the Starbug lifted
into the air. Folding its legs and closing the hatch, it rocketed out
into space and turned towards the vast ship.
Elwood peered through the periscope he'd constructed and saw he was
nearly on course. Tugging the string that was attached to the
throttle, the 'bug speeded up, banking to one side as Elwood brushed
the wheel to one side with a claw.
And so began the attack...
