Seymour - "Alien car theft"

Who: Jay, Phil, CK, Mk6, Seymour, Wowbagger, Harris (Oh, and 3
hymies on the back)
Where: In the R.A.I.D, on the Hymenoptera planet
When: after MK6 took over driving
<snip>
"Mabe Seymour driving wasn't so bad after all!" everyone said to
themselves, and all looked over at him at the same time.
He was sitting there making a "BBBBRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRrrrrr"
noise and moving his arms like he was holding a steering wheel and
trying to look cool at the same time, totally oblivious to the fact
everyone was staring at him.
"Hmm, maybe not." They once again all thought at once.
<end snip>
Seymour noticed everyone was staring at him and folded his arms
grumpily.
Mk6 almost flew them across the landscape, away from the aliens that
were chasing. Meanwhile, Jay got out his radio and called the Blue
Dwarf for pickup. Afterwards, he leaned to the front and addressed
Mk6. "Head for somewhere flat so that the Raven can land and pick us
up."
Seymour pointed to an area on the map, but nobody was listening. So
he sulked again. He felt something wet on his neck and looked down,
something wet and gooey was dripping down his suit. Seymour turned
angrily to see the massive face of a Hymenoptera warrior bug.
"Do you mind!" He said angrily. "You're drooling on me!"
The Hymenoptera moved closer, and Seymour saw himself reflected in
it's 8 dark shiny eyes and felt it's horrible stinking breath on his
face. He gulped.
"Jay!!" He shouted. "Tell your minions to behave, if they want our
help then they should act like civilised people!"
MK6 took the RAID over a small bump and the Hymenoptera behind
Seymour momentarily leaned closer to him.
"Did you see that?! He almost had my head off! Look! They're trying
to kill us! It's all just a trap!"
"Calm down Seymour!" Jay said, trying to hush the Royal Ambassador
in front of the insects.
"The Hymenoptera are our allies now, remember that!"
"Allies? Allies?!" Ranted Seymour. "They ask for a bit of help cos
they've met someone that's harder than them, and suddenly we're best
mates?"
Jay gave a look to Seymour to try and make him be quiet. He motioned
to the two rather large, rather dangerous Hymenoptera that were sat
at either side of him.
"I think now is not a good time to discuss this Seymour…"
"Oh, But I think it is!" he continued ranting. "They're dangerous,
they've killed thousands… millions… they even Killed Efof's entire
race. Sadly they couldn't finish the job properly, but I digress – I
mean. Can we really trust them? Who says that this isn't just a big
rouse to get a Hymenoptera spy on the Blue Dwarf? What was that they
put in your ear?" He said accusingly.
"I'm their spokesperson Seymour, not a spy!" Said Jay.
"Oh… or is that what you want us to believe?" Seymour said, ignoring
the Hymenoptera next to him who was getting quite angry. The spider
started grunting and clicking in some kind of insect language.
"Excuse me please, I've not finished." Seymour said to it, and
turned back to Jay.
"You hear that Seymour? They can't speak our language, they need me.
I've established a dialogue, that shows progress doesn't it?" said
Jay.
Seymour harrumphed and folded his arms again.
Jay then quietly added. "Besides… I think I've done better than
a `Royal' Ambassador could do."
Seymour turned around with wide eyes, unbelieving his ears.
"What did you sa-"
It was at that moment that Mk6 flung the RAID in a hard left turn to
avoid an alien that jumped straight out at them from behind a craggy
rock. It fired a stinger that would have likely broke through the
windscreen and passed through Seymour's head, before then continuing
on inertia and also spearing Jay or Harris behind him. Luckily
though for those people, MK6 turned and the stinger hit one of the
Hymenoptera warriors instead.
It's head exploded and covered everyone on the car with gooey green
insect blood.
Mk6 tried to control the RAID as it spun out of control, then
slammed sideways into a spiky rock that protruded out of the ground.
The RAID tipped from hitting the rock and fell over onto it's side,
throwing all of the RAID's passengers out onto the dry sandy ground
of the planet.
Everyone sat dazed as they lay flat-out on the floor. Events had
happened so suddenly that people had very little time to react.
Even MK6, who was plugged into the car, had been torn out of the
vehicle. Some wires and plugs still attached to himself, but now
snapped.
One of the black figures stomped over the dazed crew. It was joined
by another, and they walked over to the crashed RAID.
Kotchanski was least injured by the crash, he got up and noticed the
figures. The aliens got into the RAID and started experimenting with
the controls, obviously trying to turn it on.
Kotchanski yelled to the others. "They're stealing it! They're
stealing the RAID!"
There were moans of pain and confusion, only Harris stood up,
although slightly concussed.
The two of them ran over to the RAID, just as the aliens worked out
how to start the engine. "Come back you bastards!" Shouted
Kotchanski and stuck his middle finger up at them as they drove off.
Harris slapped him. "What are you doing?!"
"Erm… Flipping them off?"
"How will that help, moron?! Come on!" Harris ran after the car
while they were still in first gear. He jumped and grabbed onto the
back.
The two aliens looked round. Their brightly glowing green eyes
glared at him, making Harris wonder if he really ought to be
somewhere else right now.
"Okay guys, time to get out. This is our car!"
The smaller of the black humanoids quietly and calmly aimed his
wrist at Chris.
A stinger shot out of his wrist at high velocity, Harris didn't even
see it coming. The sharp stinger stabbed him in the stomach. But not
only that, it kept on going. In less than half a second, the long
thin stinger has passed all the way through Harris' stomach and flew
off harmlessly into the landscape.
Harris weakened and let go of the car, where he rolled to a stop.
Kotchanski ran over to him. "Dude! I saw everything, are you
alright?"
Seymour, Jay, Phil and Wowbagger ran over too. "What happened?"
Asked Phil.
Phil had the most experience with combat injuries (being the one who
had probably been injured the most) so applied pressure to the
wound, that was now starting to squirt blood.
"He bloody shot me! That's what happened!" Shouted Harris, too angry
to feel the pain. He squirmed and Phil tried to hold him still.
"I saw the whole thing." Said Kochanski. "The stinger shot straight
through him." He turned to Chris, and to make him feel better said:
"It was THIS big too, but you took it like a man!"
Harris squirmed again and Phil held him still.
"TOOK IT LIKE A MAN? I'VE GOT A BLOODY HOLE THROUGH ME!"
Phil checked the wound. "Its alright, it missed all vital organs.
You'll be okay, but try not to move too much because you're loosing
blood."
Phil got Wowbagger to dress Harris' wound. He turned to Jay,
Seymour, Kochanski and MK6. "We need a medi-kit." He sighed.
"Let me guess…" Said Jay. "There's one in the RAID?"
Phil nodded and looked into the distance where the RAID was
disappearing.
< TAG to anyone! We need to get the RAID back, so any ideas anyone?
Tag to the ground crew, or even anyone on the ship who could help >
