Miner's Militia.
Who?: Keith and the combined miners of the 2 Blue Dwarfs.
Where?: Mining/engineering level.
When?: Minutes after the Chrysler arguement.
When Keith first saw the inside of the Battleship BD He'd thought it
quite nifty with all of it's weapons and modifications, but taking
the scenic route to what he knew as the Mining decks he could see
clearly the true state of the BD's twin sister, the promenade was one
enormous slum/dump, Parrot's nolonger existed, half the lifts had
been cannibalised for parts, a few decks were nearly missing entirely
and most of the science facilities had been destroyed.
Getting down to the barely-familiar mining deck took some doing, and
when he got there what he saw didn't encourage him. Between them the
ships had about twenty mining personnel, about twelve technicians and
a good few modified or custom-built defense vehicles. He took his
place in line, and in came an officer with an artificial eye and a
slight limp caused by a bionic leg and .
"Ok people! A few of you know who I am, most of you don't. Our job
down here is to form the workhorse of the ship, we do what repairs we
can, we make and modify machines and ocasionally we get to gather the
valuable resuorces that keep this ship from stopping dead in space!
Also, should we be boarded we operate the defense mechanisms. The few
of you who know what you're up to can teach the rest, now go!"
The officer clapped his hands and they all went off to work.
>>20 minutes pass<<
Keith was truly puzzled beyond all knowledge, this heavily mod'd
Midget had him truly stumped.
"Need some help there mate?"
Keith turned to face the repaired Officer.
"Well, I'm actually, like, totaly stumped, any help..?"
The officer was gaping.
"What's up?"
The BBD's cheif miner removed the outer workings of his eye to reveal
his face, and Keith found himself looking into a unshaved and
shattered mirror...
