Re: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] Space invaders and asteroids.

The beast followed them right back to the dwarf,
"we can't land, it'll follow us"
"Can't we get one of the Dwarf's to blow it up?"
"Nope, Radio's out"
"Won't they spot it on radar?"
"It's too small, they'll never spot it" Canazza banked the droid away from the bay doors and made a new heading for the ram scoop
"What the smeg are you doing?"
"i'm taking us into the ram scoop"
"Why the hell are you doing that?"
"It'll get stuck, the automatic purge system will destroy it"
"Won't it do the same to us?"
"Not if we don't get stuck"

Where: BD's Ram Scoop
Who: Canazza, Timmy
When: Shortly after the snip.
Canazza wrestled with the controls, attempting to keep the droid stable and not touching the walls, they were about one meter away from being stuck in the scoop and being disintegrated by the defences, the beast closed in.
"Are you sure this will work?" Timmy asked
"Pretty sure" Canazza said, although he wasn't sure they'd get out of it alive, he was pretty sure the auto defences would kill the beast.
Then it happened, the beast got stuck, the view outside was completely obscured.
The beast lashed out a couple of times, missing them by inches.
"Nothing's happening" Timmy was getting nervous,
but then, the creatures expression changed, quizzical, then it exploded.
two large chunks of meat were skewered on the side by large metal spikes with the occasional spark passing between them.
"Ouch" Canazza said, peering through bits of beast that covered his viewer, "We'd better get back and fix this thing"
Just as Canazza was going for the engine reheat button, a sudden gust of wind blew them spacewards, along with the rest of the beast's corpse.
"What was that?" Timmy squealed, his claws holding onto his controls, but now not attached to his arms.
"It purges the blocked matter" Canazza explained. Timmy just gave him 'that' look. "Well, it's beats using Mr. Muscle"
