"General Bordinate's plan" part2
Blue Dwarf
The Marines made all their preparations, the dropships were prepped
and they took over the Blue Dwarf's missile launcher and wormhole
drive controls.
The original Blue Dwarf crew were pretty much rendered useless, most
of them went on with their normal duties but watched eagle-eyed by
Marines. The command staff were forced off-duty, to be 'out of the
way' of the Marine's tactical operation.
*****Engineering Control*****
"Is the target area plotted in?" General Bordinate's voice asked
Engineer Joseph Severn over the com. Severn was nervously being
forced to target the wormhole drive device by Johnson who stood
there with him in the Engineering control room holding a gun to his
head.
Severn checked where the wormhole was targetted at. "Right in the
middle of..::gulp:: hell yeah"
"Good good!" Bordinate said up in the Drive Room. A dark grin could
be heard in his voice. "Initiate wormhole Drive!"
Severn winced as he pulled down a lever and pressed a big red
button, watched by Johnson who looked equally as worried.
Electricity sparked around the Blue Dwarf's ramscoops and a large
hole in space appeared in front, glowing orange and red swirling
colours. The Blue Dwarf entered, and appeared a hundred million
miles away behind enemy lines.
Space was different here, it had a sinister green glow, and remnants
of destroyed planets were littered around the area. The hymenoptera
had obviously ploughed through here like a swarm of locusts.
*****Drive Room*****
"Any enemy ships?" General Bordinate asked. Efof turned around to
the sensor station, as Ashley the blonde was being as useless as
always.
"Not much yet... oh.. oh theres something, its HUGE!"
"How big?" asked Boirdinate, calmly.
"Almost as big as Seymour's ego!" Efof laughed, then realised
Bordinate didnt really know Seymour that well. "Its as big as the
Dwarf... its turning... its SEEN US!" Efof saw the massive ship on
the monitor scrreen. Like a giant scarab beetle with three long
spider like arms stretching out, as well as many smaller tendrills
and glowing engines in the centre like spooky fly-like eyes.
"hang on.. theres another... and another.. and... uh oh...."
continued Efof.
"Let me guess.. another?" said a tiny voice. Efof and Geleral
Bordinate looked around to see a tiny Jack abseil down a piece of
cotton thread from an air duct above, with a rather un-heroic
looking Seymour staying back at the vent moaning.
Jack swung from the thread and landed on the Generals shoulder where
he raised the sword, ready to strike him in the eye. The General
paused, shocked at the tiny little sworded man.
"more than that!" Efof said.
"Half a dozen?" asked Seymour back in the safety of the vent.
"Whats a dozen?"
"12!"
"no no..." said Efof happily.
"Oh thank god, cos that would be plenty enough Aliens for now!" said
Seymour.
"More like 120."
"Oh Dear God!"
Jack raised the sword higher, ready to give General Bordinate a
nasty poke in the eye. "I cant believe you thought this was a good
idea, this is just suicide!"
120 massive hostile alien ships approached, the situation was tense.
But General Bordinate laughed. A full belly laugh which confused
everyone in the room.
"Oh dear God we're going to die!" Yelled Seymour. "How can you
laugh?!"
The general stopped laughing. "Correction...YOU are going to die.
I'm just going back to my people! Your wormhole drive would be very
useful to us, and even better it delivered you straight to our
door!"
Then the general started to shake, as if he was having a nervous fit
and fell to his knees. Jack held on, still keeping his sword raised.
Crawling off the base of the Generals neck was something none of
them had seen before, a scuttling ant-like insect about
30centimeters long which had originally been camoflaged against his
neck. It over the Generals shoulder near Jack, who slashed at it
with his sword, but it was too spidery-quick.
Seymour screamed like a girl for no apparent reason.
Just then, the Express-lift doors opened and the small Phoenix flew
in, looking like a remote controlled toy.
Seymour waited until the Phoenix flew below the vent he was stood in
and jumped onto its roof.
"Jay, follow that Alien! Its getting away!" He shouted.
Efof tried to use the wormhole drive again to get them out of there.
"Oh narners!" he said unmelodramatically as 120 massive Hymenoptera
ships closed in on them, launching millions of mosquito-like
fighters.
"The power cells are drained! The generator must have gone offline!"
***Space***
All of the marines scrambed into the dropships and their fighters,
and launched towards the incoming fleet.
The closest two Hymenoptera capitol ships fired something which can
only be described as
`snot', which splatted against the closest
marine ship and splatted against the rest. The smily green stuff
started dissintigrating the ship's hulls and two large mosquito-
looking fighters flew over to the marine ships and started sucking
the marines out of the ships.
There was frantic screaming on the last Marine ship as their ship
sat powerless in space. From inside there was a clanking sound as
one of the large mosquito clamped itself to the outside of the hull,
and an almost drilling sound as it inserted its long sucking tube.
It hovered out the marines one by one, and the last gut watched as
his buddies were sucked into the mouth of the alien and tied himself
tightly to a wall post. He felt the sucking device coming for him,
pulling at his hair, powerfully, he felt himself lifting, but was
tied down. He felt himself falling apart, the strain pulling on his
neck and
. Pop
.. off came his head.
<OOC- Right a bit of a weird Action post I know, as it doesn't
really tell many people what to do, but can some people work on
giving us some kind of power, maybe reroute emergency power from
something? And the Phoenix people can have a bug-hunt!>
