Lt. Cmdr. Smegg - "Eat the blue one instead, it's tastier"

The factory on the asteroid
Who knows when all this is going on
"I didn't kill your babies!" Smegg shouted at the glowing rock creature,
which was now oozing its molten body toward his feet.
"YOU LIE!!!" the creature hissed. "LOOK, OVER THERE!" It sloooowly
extended a pseudopod pointing in the general direction of one of the
ore-crushers.
Smegg was puzzled. Then he shouted to the engineer operating the
ore-crusher. "Dimmons! Have you seen anything unusual going into that
ore-crusher?"
"Um, no, sir," the engineer replied.
The rock-creature oozed its way over to the ore-crusher and started
chewing on the mechanism, disabling it. Then the slug crawled on top of a
mineral nodule and seemed to hug it protectively.
Then the engineers got it. "Oh!" Dimmons exclaimed. "Like on that - what
was it?"
"Star Trek, was it?" Smegg prompted. Then turning to the alien, he said,
"We're terribly sorry, Mr. Rock Creature! EVERYONE! STOP MINING! We'll
stop right away. Now will you please stop eating that ship up there,
that's the one we were trying to rescue?"
"THAT ISSS NOT YOUR SSSHIP?" the creature hissed. "WHICH ONE ISS YOUR
SSSSHIP???"
"The blue one."
Dimmons slapped his forehead. "Sir, with all due respect-- YOU
SMEGHEAD!!!"
Main engineering
Back on the blue
Nobody had noticed the hallucinatory Red Dwarf on the sensors or
viewports because they were busy with all the other hallucinations
running around the ship. But now, as the repair technicians worked hard
at installing some of the first manufactured components on the damaged
ship, a few of them noticed something strange.
"Hey Bob, didn't you just replace the plasma coolant valve in section 4?"
"Uh, yeah, I think so. Why?"
"Well, it's... um... not there."
"Must've forgot it then. I'll take care of it when I'm done with this air
duct."
"But you know what is there?"
"No, what?"
"A BIG FREAKING HOLE THAT IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING CHEWED ITS WAY THROUGH
HERE WITH INDUSTRIAL-STRENGTH NITRIC ACID!"
