Efof - "Escape from Jupiter's Miming Chimps"

Who: Efof and lots of chimps
Where: On the Jupiter's Miming Chimps ship Blue Dwarf
When: After last post
<snip>
Not everyone was as friendly as Jupiter's Miming Chimps.
Efof ducked some more laser fire and noticed a chimp next to
him. "Hi." He said, between laser shots and explosions. "I'm Efof,
who are you?"
The chimp extended his arm and moved it up and down as if flipping a
frying pan.
"Just my luck. Said Efof. You're Justin Pancake, right?"

Efof noticed that the shooting had mostly stopped, and he peered out
of cover. A smoke bomb was sending out a large plume of thick grey
smoke across the cargobay. This was the chance he needed.
He ran across the cargobay, keeping his head down and managed to find
his way to a Blue Midget on the far side. He wasn't sure at the
moment if the Blue Midget belonged to the miming chimps, or the crew
that were attacking, but didn't really care so much.
The Blue Midget rumbled into life and it's robotic hind legs brought
the Midget to a standing position. Several of the crew members from
the attacking Blue Dwarf were surprised at the sudden movement of one
of their own attack craft and dived away from it.
This was the first time Efof saw them for the first time. They were
human looking, rather than the apes he had just met. Their uniform
was much darker than usual, and almost all of them had ammo belts
slung across their shoulders. Efof peered down through the Blue
Midget's small windscreen, he saw that their faces were scarred and
they just generally looked a lot meaner than most humans he knew. He
should have been instantly scared of them, but felt a bit
sympathetic. "Maybe I'd have been like that if I didn't have the
proper start in life." He said.
Then he saw the alternate version of himself. A tough looking bastard
with a machinegun in each hand, apart from the fourth hand, which he
was using to smoke a fat cigar. He had a scar that went all the way
up both cheeks. This Efof wasn't wearing a hat, leaving his genitalia
exposed, although he didn't seem to have any – only a scar where his
penis should be. This Efof looked angry.
"Oh!" Said Efof. "Maybe I'd be that angry if I had my bits chopped
off!"
The nasty Efof dropped a gun and pulled a grenade from his belt and
threw it at the Blue Midget in front of him. It exploded and caused
Efof's Blue Midget to stagger.
"Hey! There was no need for that!" Called Efof and stomped forward,
crushing Efof's nasty counterpart under it's metal foot.
Efof pressed a few buttons and the Blue Midget raised it's knee and
lifted it's heel, showing the bottom of it's foot. Efof cringed, and
moved on.
The Blue Midget broke into a run across the flight deck and then Efof
engaged the thrusters as it leaped over the chimps. It's pneumatic
legs tucked neatly underneath and it flew unsteadily towards the
hangerbay door.
Efof blasted the thick doors open, causing his own Blue Midget, and
many chimps and other alternate crewmembers to be sucked into space.
He angled down at another of the Blue Dwarf's and hoped he'd have
better luck there.
