Efof - "Awaiting the crew's return"

Who: Efof Yuwan'Kar
Where: Blue Dwarf
When: Just before the *hour later* in Andy's action.
Efof watched out of the window as he saw the Starbugs racing out of
the planet's atmosphere and towards him.
He was stood in an observation room, next to the Blue Dwarf's largest
flight deck. A large glass window separated himself from space, and
he pressed his face against it, cheering on the Space Eagles and
Starbugs that made it out of orbit. A starbug erupted into a crimson
fireball and the debris fell back to the planet. Efof felt saddened.
He knew that with the meagre crew currently on the Blue Dwarf, he
should really go and do something useful, like go and prepare the
Wormhole Drive, or at least turn on his computer in the Drive Room.
But the sight of all the crew returning was hypnotic to him.
After a substantial number of shuttles had landed, he ran quickly
through a door into the flight deck, where he could clearly see
several shuttles had parked up and were offloading crewmembers. He
jumped down some stairs and helped the crew who were injured, and
looked for someone in command.
His eyes fell upon Jay, who was climbing out of a strange new
ship. "Wow, that's a big one." Efof said.
"Why thanks. But I hear that enough from the ladies." Joked Jay, then
realised the innuendo was lost on the simple Ffionian.
Efof was in his own little world, he was admiring the Shellite
ship. "Jay! It's brilliant! We can refit it, and add phase drives, a
cloaking device, burst cannons, a short-range wormhole drive, it'll
be superb!"
A final starbug burst through the landingbay doors and smashed head-
on with the Shellite ship, caving in it's roof and sending clouds of
debris and smoke everywhere.
Efof gasped as the smoke cleared and the ship was utterly demolished.
A door opened and fell off the Starbug that was now embedded in the
trashed ship. Dr Keto fell out.
"I trust all went well?" He said.
