"What?" came Jay's voice over the comm "It took you that long to figure it
out?! OPEN FIRE!!!"
The starbug, and the entire Hymenoptera fleet dropped out of hyperspace and
began firing all weapons at the Anti-noptera ships.
the missles all passed straight through, but the Anti-noptera didnt realise
was they were attached to high-density copper wiring, tethering the missles
firmly to the ships that had fired them.
"NOW!!"
High-voltage electricity surged through the wires, shorting out the cloaking
systems of the enemy craft, causing them to phase back into normal space.
"Nice...." Mk. 7's voice returned over the comm.
"We'll phase them back in, you and the Dwarf, concentrate on blowing those
sons of insects away...." Jay's voice was more authorative than normal, and
some may even say malicious in his tone of voice.
Jay, who was obivously piloting the starbug then sent the shuttle hurtling
beneath Efof's ship and striaght into the centre of the combat zone,
launching "electro-missles" all over the place, the Hymenoptera ships
followed suit.
"Gotta say Callum.." Jay said "These missles are a sroke of genius if I ever
need a weapon designing I'll call you..."
"Why would you need....?"
"No reason."
The starbug dipped, dived, and rolled around exploding spacecraft from both
sides, launching missles, and firing whatever else it had in its arsenal....

Efof circled the Dwarf, finding it hard to avoid the flak himself.
Despite the obvious facts that they were in space, and the ultra-
viloet explosions- the scene looked like a World War II air battle.
"Its still not enough, they're flying straight through the weapons
fire." Said Efof. "There must be something else we can do?"
MK7 thought for a second, his cylon-styled electronic eye was
replaced by a windows 98 egg-timer.
"Well the ANti-noptera that came aboard were fought off because we
could use electricity against them... isn't that right?"
"Yeah a strong electric current caused them to loose their ability
to cloak."
"Can we use that somehow?" said Mk7, trying to work out a plan.
<end snip>
Who: Efof & Mk.7
When: just after last post
Where: Circling Blue Dwarf
Mk.7 thought for a while, Efof too busy dodging the flak to do the
same.
The egtimer that replaced his eye stared moving faster and faster
until it quickly faded back to his cylonesk eye.
"I GOT IT!" exclaimed Mk.7
"Well don't give it to me you diseased little droid!"
"Ok, we need a way to send electricity to their ships, right?"
"Yeah"
"And we dont have the insulation to use enough to simply leap to
their ships through space, right?"
"Right"
"So we need something to make contact with them, right?"
"Right. What?"
"I'm not sure. I'll punch up the schematics."
AS the cross-section of the Blue Midget appeared on the HUD, Mk.7
looked over it carefully.
"Its harder to steer wirth this crippled leg flapping about." said
Efof
"The momentum means that whenever I turn, it keeps moving in the
previous direction and pulls us off course"
"OF COURSE! We can divert power to the leg gyros. because they've
been offline, the capaciter should blow with the right amount of
power and electrify the entire leg. We can then just drag it through
them and bingo: Kentucky Fried Alien."
Mk.7 rerouted power to the gyros on the crippled leg, and they blew
as planned. Massive arcs of electricity jumped all over the leg. It
just lightly skimmed over one of the Anti-noptera ships. The Anit-
noptera ship became hooked on the AC electricity* and one of the
gunners noticed this. He opened fire on it and it exploded in a big
firey ball, and boiled away into the ultra-violet.
"YEEEHAAAA! They can't cloak while they remain attached to our leg."

"But the ironic thing is, THEY were the ones that crippled our leg

*AC electricity: NOT the electricity from the Air Conditioner!
