Blue Dwarf Captain: Dean shield, handy door key, and ghost hamster.

<Snip>
Dean turned back from the vent and crouched next to WW's form. "You
know, I could be court-martialed for this!"
"That's it? A rubbish joke? No grabbing a sword and fighting. That's
not fun!" said EJ, sounding abit like a spoilt child, "Right!" He
dropped his weapons, "Come on then!"
<Snip ends>
The translucent form of White Wolf stands up from his body
saying, "Hey - that must not have been as bad a wound as I
thought..." and quickly dashing over to stand between Dean & Evil
Jay, "You get outta here Dean, While I hold him off."
<Snip>
"Certainly!" yelled Dean, slinging the massive hamster's body at the
Jay's evil counterpart, knocking him senseless.
</Snip>
"Run Dean!" Hollers the transparent hamster.
"WTF?!?" Said the stunned White Wolf who stands helplessly as he sees
his own body go *right through* him.
<Snip>
Dean grabbed WW, "Thanks mate" and dragged him over to the vent,
before stuffing him into the vent. Taking one last look around, Dean
crawled in behind WW and started to push the captain along. Until
the vent narrowed. And it got slower and slower until he stopped. WW
was wedged in the Vent. Dean backed up a little then flew forward
and shoved with all his might. WW flew out of the narrow bit and
shot out of the vent in the shuttlebay before falling into a small
heap underneath the vent.

"Their acting as if I'm not even here..." Said White Wolf as he
paused. Then he experimentally swung his paws through Evil Jay a few
more times, before stopping and muttering in confusion, "What's going
on here? How come I can't touch anything?"
White Wolf turned to follow through the vent, and suddenly lost his
balance and fell through the floor.
"Oh smeg, something about this really ain't right..." Said White Wolf
who's feet was on the next deck's ceiling, hanging upside down
watching solider bugs march on by through a door below him, "How the
smeg can I be standing on the ceiling?"
"Maybe it's some kind of odd dimensional shift...", he mused as he
experimentally lifted one of his feet. He stayed put hanging from the
ceiling. Then he attempted a little hop, and promptly fell to the
floor below.
He stood up, and the soldier bug walked through him as it entered the
door. White wolf muttered "Well, at least I'm on the floor again.
Might as well go see where everybodies going to." And attempted to
pass through the door that was closing in front of him, but slammed
into it instead.
"Why the smeg when bugs can walk through me and I can fall through
floors, can't I walk through doors?" grumbled the hamster stepping
back and rubbing his nose.
Another one of the solider bugs stepped up to the door and it opened,
White Wolf quickly followed the bug through as it entered an
adjoining fighter bay. The six foot, one inch hamster quickly spotted
Dean throwing his limp body at a guard bug.
"Hey, hey, HEY! Don't go abusing my body, ya smeghead. It's only got
a few billion years on it I'd *LIKE* to keep it that way!" Yelled the
angry hamster as he ran over toward Dean.
White Wolf winced as Dean smacked the head of his body into the
rollover bar when Dean got into the forklift, "Why do I even bother?"
The six foot, one inch spirit hamster followed Dean over to the
airlock of the bug ship, and watched Dean use his paw to open it.
Then as the hatch opened, Dean crash onto the floor on top of his
body, He lamented, "Don't you have any respect for the dead, man?
Cripes... What are you gonna do for an oncor? Break all my limbs and
make me MP's latest sex toy?"
"What am I saying? You would, wouldn't you?" accused the hamster as
Dean shuddered and turned off the Bug music.
Then White Wolf glanced up and saw them hurtling towards the Bay
doors. "Ahh, nevermind... Forget I said that..." Apologised White
Wolf quickly, "You don't have to go an do this just because I've went
an insulted you Dean!"
Then they passed through the bay doors, and the Ethereal hamster blew
sigh of relief. But ,as soon as Dean yelled "DROP!", White Wolf
immediately ducked to the deck and nearly fell through it when the
explosion behind them rocked the bug ship.
"Now there's no need to go and get nasty, Dean!" Remarked the
transparent hamster from the floor while trying to elbow himself back
up through it, "Bloody 'ell man, you've got me nearly falling out of
the ship."
And when the ship jerked to a landing in the Blue Dwarf landing bay,
The translucent hamster was jarred loose and fell to the deck plating
below.
"Jees, if he treats my other body as badly as he treats this one,
thier not gonna have anything for Keto to revive..." Comments White
Wolf getting up off the landing bay floor and walking out of a blast
of steam that was venting from the alien ship.
He glanced upwards back at the dwarfs closing bay doors, and noted
firing position of Evil Jay's Ship and Yelped, "What's a supersized
version of Phil's Time accelerator doing over there? Oh Smeg!!! I've
got to get a message to the crew and tell them to abandon ship!!!!!"
Holly suddenly popped up on a nearby monitor and called "The Captain
has ordered a band on the ship, all crew to the E scrape pods and
please put a band on the ship..." as dozens of red lights started
flashing all throughout the Blue Dwarf.
The huge hamster quickly darted over to the wall monitor and
asked, "Holly, You can see me?"
"Of course I can see you, Captain." replied the bald AI.
"How, Hol?"
"I've always be able to see fragged people. How else could I keep
score in the first person shooter games?" said Holly.
"um, yeah sure..." Said White Wolf not knowing how to react, "Tell
Phil & Jay I'd like to meet them in the Drive room - "
"Right." Said Holly disappearing before the hamster could finish.
