Who: Efof, Jayne, Micky, Delvroso, The Amnesty International Army
Where: The floor in front of one of the Geldof clones
When: Snip
<snip>
The tanks fired, hitting the ground where Jayne had been standing,
throwing up dust and debris into the air.
The two humans, one mollopod and a Ffionian were thrown from their
feet as they ran away, sending them all tumbling down the hillside,
toward the Amnesty International army below.
Dazed, Jayne looked up from the floor, straight into the eyes of Bob
Geldof. "Well…what have we here…" he said.
"Hangman!" said Efof, "Wanna play?"
"Is it "Doctor Keto" said Mickey.
"YES! Your turn!" Efof replied excitedly.
Jayne sighed heavily. It was turning into one of those days.

"Oh, hey! It's Peaches!" Micky said from the floor looking up at a
now even more pissed off Geldof.
"Don't wind him up Micky." Jayne sounded equally pissed off at him.
"Lay off, you!" Micky snapped back. "If I hadn't had my arm blown off
it might have been easier to get the wiring right!"
"Micky..." Jayne looked like she had an idea. "Your arm."
"Yeh, that's right. It was your fault!" Micky hadn't caught on.
"No, dummy. The gubbins." She was trying hard not to let the Geldof
clone realise what was going on. "Help us out!"
Suddenly Micky realised. He thought long and hard but couldn't come
up with anything.
"Holly. Help him!" Jayne shouted at his arm.
"Okay."
Before Micky had chance to get up the arm was in motion. It swept
out and took Bob Geldof off his feet in one clean motion.
"Run then!" Holly sounded impatient.
As they all scrambled to their feet Micky spoke to the screen on his
arm.
"Why does it never do what I want it to?"
"I don't know," replied Holly. "Maybe we got the neurological
connections wrong. Or maybe it just doesn't like you. Nows not
really the time to chat though, I think that guy was pretty miffed
about that."
"Oh no!" Efof stopped and spun round. "Where's my notepad?!" He
still had his pencil in his hand, but in the rush had left it
behind. "I need to go get it!"
He started running back in the direction of the camp looking around
frantically. Micky took off after him.
"We can't leave him to get crushed by that lot! You guys carry on,
I'll grab him and be right behind you."
Delvroso had already jumped a hundred meters ahead of Jayne by this
point. His bodyguards started to appear next to him one by one.
As Jayne reached the group one of the bodyguards thrust a rifle into
her hands.
"You'll need this." The fat slug then flung his teleporting device
further away from the army camp.
"Efof!" Micky shouted as he grabbed his jacket. "Come on man! I'll
get you a new notepad when we get back on board the ship."
Efof looked up into Mickys eyes with adoration.
"Really?!" He looked like he was going to cry with joy.
"Yes!" Micky pulled him away. "Now come on!"
He hit his head hard on a metal wall as he turned to run.
"Wow. They really use quiet engines nowadays." Efof seemed like he
had no grasp on urgency.
A huge turret rotated to fill Mickys face, a tannoy came from
somewhere near the front of the tank.
"Move one inch and I'll blow you into the nearest star."
Jayne looked on in horror as the tank threatened them.
"Please do something!" She begged the Mayor. "They're going to be
killed!"
"But you are here to help us!" Delvroso said matter of
factly. "What am I meant to do?"
"Well can't you get them out of there with that funny device you
have?"
"No, it's mine!" The Mayor looked shocked that she had even asked him
to consider it.
"Fine." She said and took off toward the tank with her new gun.
"What's that?!" Efof said pointing behind the turret as if to
distract the gunner.
"As if we would fall for that one." Came the voice from the tannoy.
"No really." Efof took a step back. Micky could only see down the
barrel of the gun, so he missed what happened next. All he heard was
gun fire.
Jayne opened fire on the back of the turret. When a small hatch
opened in the side of the tank she started firing at that. A loud
scream from inside it told her she had hit someone. When the turret
starting whirling round in circles she figured it was the gunner.
The tank started rolling forwards and turned to face her.
"Jayne!" Shouted Micky.
"Get out of there you two!" She called back.
Efof ran as Micky searched his pockets.
"Here it is!" He told himself as he pulled out the last
grenade. "Forgot I had you!"
He put the grenade in his other had and called to Holly over the gun
fire "Can you get this in the end of that spinning turret?"
"Can I!" He called back and slung it with Mickys arm. It was a
direct hit and the grenade rattled down the barrel.
"Good shot Hol, but I hadn't pulled the pin out yet." Micky hadn't a
clue what he was going to do to get Jayne out of this. The tank was
bearing down fast and time was running out.
"Hold on Jayne! I'm coming to get you!" Efof called as he ran at
the tank.
"What's that in his hands?" Micky asked as the strange alien legged
it across the land.
<Tag. What is it?!>
