JP: Attack on the Mothership
This Joint Post brought to you by Smith (Jprime) and Kara ( Captain Emerald)
Smith's alter ego finished zooming around the helpless Hymenoptera
(effectively using thier own weapons against them). As the last fighter in
the mini-swarm that seemed designated to attacking him exploded in a mass of
biocircuits and spare engine parts, the alter heared a small voice.
'Oy! You up there!'
Alter Smith looked down at his reflection in the viewscreen. Oddly, the
image reflected apeared different somehow, as though it was someone other
than him with a mask on. The pilot-alter (who was only a mass of assembled
subroutines dedicated to flying) was confused by this.
'It me! The bloke whose body your wearing, you conceited lunatic!'
The alter frowned.
'Your body?'
'Yes. My body. As in, the body belonging to me. As in, the body I lent you
so that you could save us. As in, the body I want back now. As in, give it
back now you meglomaniacal madman!', Smith replied impatiently.
The alter didn't know really what to do with this bit of information. He ran
it through every single perceptual subroutine he could find, but came up
empty. Why exactly did he have an aversion to returning the body anyway?
Hell, he had just saved its sorry hide several times, as well as made it
look quite impressive!
'What if I dont really want to buddy?'
Smith's eyes nearly popped out of his oversized eyesockets.
'You have to! Its mine! Your just a figment of my imagination!
Smith closed his eyes and concentrated. He forced every photon of his
electronic willpower onto the task of returning to his body, and forcing the
alter out. Slowly, Smith's face pulled itself off the screen and jumped into
its body.
'Gerroff me! Urggg......'
'You firssssssssssssst!'
'Neverrrrrrrrrr....!'
As Smith and his alter battled, they failed to realize a certain Hymenoptera
mothership whose hull seemed to be coming very close the the 'Bug, very
quickly.
The Starbug crashed into the mothership, embedding itself in the hole it had
just created.
Suddenly, a holographic hand punched out through the wreakage and the
truimphant form of John Smith heaved himself out.
Or rather, a person who looked exactly like John Smith heaved himself out.
'Lets blow this airless popsicle stand! '
Positioning himself above a small fuel intake port, the alter deactivated.
His light-bee dropped down a long tube and crashed into the wall of an
auxilly fuel tank (luckily one not currently in use).
The battered bee activated and the holographic weasel turned secret-agent
tore his way out.
Taking only a moment to examine his reflection in a mirror (seeing only
Smith, screaming his 2-d head off no less), the alter headed off down a
long, black corridor.
Meanwhile.....
Kara noticed a 'bug smash itself into the side of the mothership. She pulled
her 'Bug next to it and surveyed the wreckage from there. She noticed a
small opening tore in the hull of the mothership by the other 'Bug. She got
as close as she could and went out of the 'Bug and slid through the whole
ripping a percentage of shirt and jacket. "Damn it! I just go these too!"
She exclaimed.
She heard a scream and ran towards it. She saw Smith screaming. "Oy, you
okay? What's the matter mate? If it's a talking penguin or something ignore
it." She advised putting her ahdn on his shoulder.
