Who: initially Elwood, then MP
Where: space, some random place on the BD, the corridor near everyone
When: 00:00, 00:00, 00:00, 00:00... he can't set the Starbug's VCR...
The Starbug continued its drifting, edging towards a firey death in
the planet's atmosphere. Suddenly, the rear jets flared in a
seemingly overclocked re-heat and the small craft lurched towards the
Blue Dwarf.
Elwood thought he was pretty clever to hotwire the engines and get
the ship moving again. This feeling of smugness lasted approximately
0.4 seconds... until the skutter remembered that he'd have to get
from the engine room of the 'bug to the cockpit, repair his control
system and land the damaged ship... within the space of 15 seconds.
<14.6 seconds later...>
The Blue Dwarf's hull yielded surprisingly easily to the tiny
spacecraft as it hammered into it, stabbing a neat Starbug-shaped
hole through several sections. Fortunately, the only area destroyed
was one of the rare skutter-uninhabited cinemas, which was empty due
to its 34 hour "Ernest" marathon.
Elwood, who had only managed to cross the Starbug's engine room in
the few seconds before the crash, poked his head out of a hatch in
the 'bug's belly. The still flaming engines were burning a nice hole
through "Ernest goes to camp", and luckily, all of the speakers had
been destroyed.
Trying to conduct a controlled descent from the ship, Elwood ended up
falling on his head, but that wasn't an issue due to the steadily
increasing ocean of popcorn that was building up in the room.
Crunching his way free and struggling over the sticky floor, the
skutter left what was left of the cinema, whistling innocently.
----------
"EEE!" MP said, tumbling from an air vent into Elwood's path.
"Mini Phil! Long time no see" the skutter replied, skidding to a halt.
"EEee ee EEEeee"
"Why not... I've got nothing better to do"
MP climbed onto Elwood's base and clung onto the machine's neck.
"Ready?"
"E!"
With a screech, Elwood burned rubber and took off down the corridor,
MP hanging on for dear life...
