Efof\'s rubbish plans

Who: Efof, Micky and Captain Chrysler
Where: Starbug in the depressurised Landing bay
When: After crashing
<snip>
There was a flash of red as the nameless cabin crew was sucked past Efof, who
was holding on with all four arms.
"Captain!" Jay didn't hear him. When he shouted again, Jay heard him over the
whooshing.
"CAPTAIN JAY! ... SIR!... I THINK! ...I MIGHT HAVE A PLAN!
<end snip>
"What is it Efof?" Jay shouted over the sound of the whooshing air. "Efof?"
"Sorry Sir. I just have an itch, it's really annoying and I really need to scratch it. Good job I have four arms eh?"
Jay watched as Efof scratched him bottom with his fourth arm. His three other hands were firmly holding his body in place, as the pull of the pressure different pulled his entire body towards outer space.
"Are you finished-"
"Not yet Sir, I just have another itch...." Efof let go with his third arm and used it to scratch his back. "Oh I just have another itch...." He let go with his second arm and scratched his nose, leaving only one arm attaching him to the Starbug.
"Efof you stupid bastard, don't you dare scratch anything else." Jay shouted.
"Oh yeah sorry." Said Efof. "Right, my idea...."
"Go on."
"All we need, is two toilet rolls, some masking tape and a cheese grater."
"Well. We don't have those things." Said Jay.
"Okay. Maybe if we used a garden strimmer, a step-ladder, and seven sun-dried tomatoes..."
Jay gave up. "Micky do you have any ideas? Micky?"
Micky's face was still vacant.
"What's wrong with him?" Asked Efof.
"Not sure. He saved me from flying out into space though." He waved a free hand in front of Mickys face. "Nothing. It's as if something is controlling him."
"Okay I've got a great plan!" Said Efof enthusiastically. "If we just get a long strand of the finest cotton.... hangon I've got an itch...WOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Efof was sucked out of the Starbug and towards the wide open hanger door into space.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who: Seymour and Wolfgang
Where: Outside
When: Just a few minutes ago
<snip>
Seymour and Wolfgang were now close enough to the Blue Dwarf's hull that they could touch it. Seymour fancied even hugging it, but didn't want to look odd.
They just couldn't get in.
<end snip>
Seymour had watched when the Starbug had crashed through the hanger door and into the landing bay. He looked back at Wolfgang. Cracks were forming in his suit, and he could see small jets of air escaping through them.
"Just a little while longer chap!" Seymour said and grabbed Wolfgang by the arm, pulling him towards the landing bay door with the giant hole in it.
Then entered the hanger, and Seymour looked at the devastation caused by the crashed Starbug. The hull had been burst open like an egg, and the front windscreen was smashed. Several crewmembers flew out of the broken ship and into space where their bodies spun into the distance.
Seymour quickly pushed a large red button on the side of the landing bay. It activated the emergency bulkheads, a second skin of protective steel around all exterior doors on the ship. The door slid into place behind the broken landing bay door.
A Ffionian lunged through the air at the door, but bounced off.
The room started to fill up with breathable air as normal.
"Efof?" Said Seymour looking at the Ffionain writhed in agony on the floor. Efof looked up in fright and only realised it was Seymour when he took his suit helmet off.
"Help me with Mr Sweetsly." Seymour commanded, and Efof sprang to his feet.
They started to twist Wolfgang's helmet, but it shattered into powder, having been weakened by the bacteria. Wolfgang breathed a deep breath of relief. Glad that it didn't shatter outside.
"Wow, did you buy your spacesuit in poundland?" Efof said.
Captain Chrysler came out of the Starbug and they started to formulate a plan.
"Rosette and Mk10 are already aboard." Said Jay. "They've been destroying Holly's security cameras and internal weapon turrets, so we should be able to follow their path safely."
Everyone nodded. "If we can get to Holly's Central Processor we should be able to reboot him... or if we have to... destroy him."
Efof dragged Micky out of the Starbug. His eyes were still vacent. "What's wrong with him?" Asked Wolfgang.
"We're not sure." Said Jay. "He went like this just after we crashed."
"Maybe he's dead." Efof said.
"Of course he's not dead. He's stood up!" Said Seymour.
"Ffionians die stood up." Efof said matter of factly.
"Do they?"
"No. I don't know why I said that." Said Efof and sulked.
Jay looked at Micky's watch. "He's wearing a Holly watch, but it just says 'busy' on the screen." Said Jay.
"Is Holly in control of his body?" Asked Efof.
"That's ridiculous!" Said Seymour. "Isn't it?"
Jay shrugged.
"Vait." Said Wolfgang. "Evil Holly?"
"Jesus, yes, maybe the evil Holly is going to use him to kill us." Seymour said, stepping away.
Jay looked back at Mickys watch. "No, he was carrying a local version of Holly. It hasn't turned evil like the one on the Blue Dwarf. Which means...."
"That he is the only version of Holly that we have left, who isn't totally insane." Finished Seymour. "Exactly." Said Jay. "We can use that to replace the insane one. Lets bring him with us."
They walked towards an exit. Efof dragged Micky along, whose feet dragged along the ground but was nevertheless still able to walk.
"This corridor should lead us to Rosette and Mk10." Jay said, leading the small group. "We just have to-"
A small platoon of three Skutters and one Peewee robot stood in the corridor staring at them. All three held bazukoids aimed at them.
"Holly's controlling them. Duck!" Jay commanded and they all ducked apart from Micky.
The Skutters and Peewee fired their weapons towards Micky.
