When a giant hamster jumps into action, What do you Do?

OOC – <Loud Forehead slap> Yipes! I'm away for my semi-annual
vacation, and look what happens... How dare you kill penny, for
shame, shame. Hmph! Coming back to the office, wasn't a pretty picnic
either, one of the company owners inadvertently infected the office
with the `navidad' virus. Fortunately, this time, my supe did
remember to run the tapes backups as I told him to, Unlike my last
vacation. I guess this is just further proof to my theory that an
engineer can't take a vacation without something getting out of
wack... Well, Back to work.

Lt. White Wolf
Inside his tiny (looking) ship
Sometime after hearing about Pennys Death (It's a bit back - I know,
I know!)
White Wolf was utterly aghast. He was reeling a bit from the sheer
shock of it all. "This wasn't supposed to happen!" He thought.
He rechecked his notes on the time loop for the third time, looking
for any errors or mistakes he could have overlooked. "According to my
notes, everything should be fine this time through. Phil should be
working on the time machine to retroactively correct one of his
mistakes, not to save penny! I must be overlooking something." He
thought furiously for several minutes while pulling some clumps of
fur off his body.
His vidman chimed. White Wolf stopped pulling at his fur, and
activated the vidman. Holly 2's face appeared on the screen, "I'm
sorry to intrude, but you wanted me to remind you when your next duty
shift was coming up."
"Oh, Thank you very much Holly 2. Please continue reminding me, I
think this is probably going to preoccupy me quite a bit, and I'll
probably be going through the motions until I figure it out like I
always do. You know, my mind gets focused like a laser on the
problem, and all that bit." Replied White Wolf somewhat distractedly.
"Do you need something to take your mind off it for a while?"
"Hmm, You have a suggestion?"
"Well, I thought perhaps you can possibly work on these Kryten series
4000 mechanoid plans, you could work on building a working model."
"Whatever for?"
"Well... As proof, you know... So you have something to show that you
weren't making it all up when you met one of the Red Dwarf crew."
"Mmmmm. Perhaps they would think I'm complete nutburger if I came to
them with a story like that without any sort of proof. Hmmmmm. It
would give my hands something to do while I figure out what's wrong
with this time loop, instead of turning me into the Blue Dwarfs first
hairless hamster." White Wolf pauses and practically smiles, "Bring
up those plans, Holly 2. I suspect I've got a lot of R&R coming up."
"Resting & Relaxation?"
"No. Rummaging and Requisitioning!"
---------------------
Much, Much later.
White Wolf spent the next several days going through motions on his
duty shifts. Practically everybody notices that he seems to be
preoccupied with something. Even Captain Cannon thought it was odd
to see the giant hamster fiddling with something while on duty shift
on the bridge, but he chalked it up as some strange expression of
grief for Penny Lloyd.
When White Wolf came up to the Captain one day with a bizarre
requisition list, Captain Cannon started to object. Then, remembering
the odd note in his personnel file, 'Since some of the White Wolf's
communication methods are considered rather unorthodox, extreme
caution is advised for all personnel during tense situations.',
Captain Cannon decided to quickly sign the requisition list and keep
his distance.
The next day, Captain Cannon got a little curious what exactly the
overgrown hamster was up to, and tried peeking over White Wolf
shoulder. The hamsters' paws quickly stopped, hovering over
something that looked vaguely like a leg, and glanced up at Captain
Cannon, and inquired, "Can I help you Captain?"
"umm… No, nothing at all!" Cannon stammered, while looking white as a
sheet and holding up his hands and backing away carefully, "Nothing
at all... Do carry on with your duties Mister White Wolf."
From then on, Captain Cannon kept excusing himself and headed for the
loo every time the giant hamster came on duty.
------------------------------------
The Blue Dwarfs discarded Scutter parts bin
Sometime later
A call goes out over the ships comm. "Attention all hands. This is
Phil FeBuggure here. The first test has been completed. Would the
following people please report to the main Lab at 11:00 in 2 days
time: Cmdr Nipples, Major Harris, Lt. White Wolf, Efof, Steeeev,
Jason Smegg, plus anyone else with a valid contribution to make.
Thank you."
A startled looking White Wolf pokes his head up through the pile of
parts he'd burrowed into, and shouts', scaring the wits out of
several scutters that were curiously looking on nearby, "Oh wet tail!
I forgot! I never installed the N-Dimensional Pocket universe in his
lab! Mmm, while I'm up there, I might as well make sure he's put in
the necessary modifications to the Time Machines plans he's going to
need to make for Operation: Penny Lloyd. Aw Smeg! I hope he noticed I
mod'd the plans to time travel only his mental being, not the
physical stuff. It wouldn't do Phil much good if he sent his light
bee in time and have it materialize into his living body, which would
likely kill him. Or should I say, his then physical body. Well, If he
didn't notice those modifications, he probably already sent some poor
bloke's mental pyche off a few weeks into the past. Heh, If it were
Captain Cannon, I don't think anyone would really notice, especially
the way he been acting lately..."
Jumping out of the bin and scattering discarded scutter parts nearly
everywhere, the giant six foot one inch hamster dashes out of the
room while muttering distractedly, "Now where the Smeg did I leave my
spudger? I'm gonna need it..."
---------------------
The night before the 11:00 meeting
In Phil's Office
White Wolf walks in while using his vidman in it's temporal scanning
mode, and gapes at the refrigerator like device while muttering "What
the Smegg?!? We're at a multiple temporal harmonic convergence! Well,
now that explains just about everything. Why didn't I think of this
before? Now that problems somewhat solved, it looks like I've got a
lot of late night oil to burn making the corrections here... Holly 2,
could you bring up those 4th Dimensional axis to 5th Dimensional Axis
conversion diagrams I uploaded to you earlier? And can you summon the
rodent crew, and order the scutters to bring me all the parts?
Thanks."
"Sure thing" replies Holly 2 while wearing some really cool looking
dark shades, "I love reading this high brow studdily stuff!" And
Holly 2 is quickly replaced with a ungodly complex looking set of
diagrams.
Glancing at the diagrams and setting the refrigerator time machine on
it's back, White Wolf mutters "I'll have to use the back of this as
the door frame for the conversion interface. That way it'll be easy
to make it look like a hatch on the other side. Hmm, looks like I'll
have to perform a gravity inversion too. " As the giant hamster sets
off in a flurry of work, dozens of scutters arrive, and a sizable
population of rodents wearing blue work coveralls and small utility
belts appear out of the dark corners of the lab.
Many bizarre noises can be heard emanating from the lab, interspersed
with White Wolf `fast talking' to the scutters and assorted rodents.
Some crewmembers in corridor begin to give the lab a much wider berth
than they usually do.
"great.yourallhere.nowthescuttertcrewcanhandlemodifyingthatpiecethere.

Several scutters flee the lab. Then a small thudding explosion rocks
the lab, and the scutters cautiously creep back into the lab.
"good.nowhandmethecuttingsawwillyou.youguyspatchthatinoverthere.andyou

Such noises as these continue on into the night.
-------------------------------------
Phil's Office's
10:45 the following morning.
White Wolf, stand up on his two back legs glancing about the room
that's now a hanger bay that's large enough to house the Blue Dwarf
itself and wipes some sweat from his eyes.
"Whew, Great work guys! All the tests check out perfectly. I think we
have enough time to clean and spiffy things up before Phil and the
gang show up for the meeting."
The Scutter and rodent crew, quickly set to cleaning up the sawdust
and other debris from the massive project.
Phil and a rather P.O.ed looking Major Harris walk in the entrance,
and they stop dead in their tracks at the sight of everything.
White Wolf spots them, and quickly drops to all fours and runs over
to them, and begins talking to Phil while casually working on what
looks decidedly like a mechanical arm "I hope you like it, I know
it's a bit small and everything's in stainless steel, It's all I
could do on such a short notice. But I can have the dimensional
resizing interface complete by the end of next week, if you like. And
if you need any other enhancements it'll take a bit longer, of
course. Oh, and I hope you don't mind my putting in the necessary
modifications to the time machine. I upgraded the interface to move
physical forms along the 4th dimensional axis, time, and of course,
since we're back in our original universe I had to add in a transfer
interface for moving things along the 5th dimensional axis, alternate
reality universes. I had to put in a gravity inversion, so anyone who
is going through the dimensional interface will appear as coming out
of open hatch in the floor in the other dimension. I realize people
will be disoriented with the feeling of going down a hatch here in
our dimensional reality, and then going up out of a hatch in the
other dimension reality, but there wasn't much I can do about that.
Oh, before I forget - You better take a look at your computer,
Saddam. I think he had a bit of brain fart when I tried explaining
things to him the first few times, he kept saying something about
setting Commander Niples loins on fire. Well anyways, here's the
remote control pad. Is there any questions you need me to answer
before the 11:00 meeting?"
------------------
Will Phil be kick the Smeg out of all the rodents who modified his
lab?
Will Major Harris think he's got the hallucinogenic virus?
Did White Wolf Flamingo up Operation: Penny Lloyd?
Stay tuned for the next exciting installment of ... the Blue Dwarf!
