As Efof and Mk.6 pulled up outside of Parrots and ran/wheeled in
yelling for everyone to get out and that Round 2 has started.
However most of them were far too drunk to notice. All of a sudden a
huge explosion rocked the whole ship.
"What in the hell was that?!" exclaimed Alota
"Well, as Efof and I were trying to tell you lot, Round 2 has
started."
"Alright, everyone to the hangar. We need to get our ships off the
ground."
After some serious jostling, everyone (except those too drunk to
move from the bar) moved out of parrots towards the hangar.

Who: Efof and Mk6
Where: Space Eagle
When: now!
The Space Eagle sped towards the Event Horizon ship, Efof and MK6
had launched from the flight deck before anyone else, eager to get
to the new ship.
"Don't you think we should wait for the rest to catch up?" Asked MK6.
"Nah, its fiiiine." Said Efof. "We did good on the last ship, we can
easily beat this one too. Plus, I want to be on TV. Mike Hunt might
interview me! I want to wave to the camera!" Efof said excitedly.
"Efof, you're the last of your race
who could you possibly wave to?
You can't just say `Hello Mum!'"
Efof thought of a witty response but settled for a sarky glance. He
opened fire on the Event Horizon ship in front of them, which seemed
to be floating almost dead in space. It didn't fight back.
"This is too easy, its not shooting back!" Said Efof.
"True, but your not even making a dent!" Said MK6. "We need to board
it and destroy it from inside."
"Ah, okay." Said Efof. "Easy peasy, just like the last time.
Absolutely nothing can go wrong
"
His voice tailed off and Efof stared into blankness, making Mk6
worried. "What? what's wrong?"
"Nothing
I just thought I'd say that for dramatic effect."
A radio transmission came from Alota. "Space Eagle 2, come in. Hold
back for the rest of the squadron. Don't be a hero!"
MK6 and Efof looked at each other. "Should we reply
?"
"I think we'd be in trouble if we didn't
"
"What if we didn't hear the message?"
"Good point, there's so much distorted radio waves being sent out
from that ship
I didn't hear it
"
"Me either."
The radio transmission was cut short from a garbled transmission
from the Event Horizon. It was an eery garbled haunting noise. It
sent a shiver down Efof's back.
They docked with the Event Horizon and boarded it. The airlock door
opened into a vast dark corridor. Efof turned on his torch and waved
it around. The air felt cold and damp. Shadows flickered around the
room from the torchlight.
"Maybe this is a bad idea" Said Efof, turning around and heading
back.
"What's the problem, scared?" Tainted MK.6.
"You're a robot, you can't feel how cold and eerie the air is
its
its
I want to go back, this place gives me the creeps!"
MK6 wheeled forward into the ship and was almost lost in the
darkness. A cold drip of icy water dripped down Efof's neck, making
him jump.
"Don't leave me!" He wailed and ran off after the skutter.
<Tag Mk.6 or anyone else wanting to come aboard!!!>
