***ACTION*** - "The Mime Wars"
<snip>
His fingers, however, were held as though they were holding an invisible
syringe, which he mimed injecting into the necks of the three patients, all of
whom passed out unconcious.
"give it an hour" Jay said, turning to face Wildflower and handing back her
medkit. "they should be right as rain!"
</snip>
"How did you know that would happen?" Wildflower asked. "You didn't do
anything?"
Jay laughed. "How does anything work? With a Mime, its all in the mind." He
turned to once again survey the destruction.
"We need to get back to drydock to repair this..." Jay muttered, and turned back
to the three unconcious mimes.
"Uhh.. Jay... We have a problem." Seymour said from a short distance away.
"What? did this wreckage tear your suit?" Jay asked, knowing Seymour all too
well.
"What? No. There's a copy of me walking around. He turned them into mimes with
some kind of gun." Seymour replied.
"The Infidel?" He asked, remembering his conversation with Phil. "We'll have
them scan the ship when we get back to Earth." Jay said, knowing that they
didn't currently have the staff to do it themselves.
There was a pause.
"Help me get Rosette to the security offices... We need to lock her up." He
said, "The others will have to wait for a while."
On the way down, Jay and Wildflower stopped for a breather. Having very few
security officers available, and the remaining ones busy searching for survivors
in the Promenade wreckage. Jay leant against the wall, breathing heavily.
"Wow.. No matter how light someone is, really takes it out of you long
distance."
He reached to a communications console on the wall nearby. "Drive Room. We
need to get back to Earth. Get the Wormhole drive spun up." He ordered,
leaving them to it.
------------------------
"Come on. The captain wants the drive spun up. We're going to Earth,
apparently." One of the engineers said, flicking a few switches. He heard no
response.
"What are you waiting for? Get it started!" He said, turning to face the other
engineers that worked on the drive. He saw nothing but a mime that looked
vaguely familiar.
"Whats going on?" He asked, before turning into a mime himself.
"Thankyou gentlemen. Your cooperation is appreciated." Seymour The Infidel
said, pulling out a small disk of some kind. He slotted it into the Wormhole
drive computer, and pushed a few buttons.
"Lets see how you like it in my time."
------------------------
The Wormhole drive spun up as it usually would. The light in space bent around
its edges, sucking it through to the other end. Slowly but surely, the Big Blue
slid through, emerging on the other end in a timely fashion. More timely than
most would believe...
Nearby, several combat vessels, looking vaguely Space Corps', surrounded the
ship.
"Blue Dwarf. This is Overlord Yu'Wan'Kar of the United Mime Alliance.
Surrender and we will not have to destroy you."
Jay sat in the drive room, and only one word came to mind.
"Smeg."
"Against that many ships, there's no way we'd survive." One of the ensigns
muttered from the tactical console.
"You seem to have mastered the art of stating the obvious." Jay quipped, but he
was right. There was nothing they could do.
"We'll have to hope we can escape from their holding cells."
<<OOC: We'll be taken to holding Cells on a remote planet for Prisoners of War.
You have control over what this place looks like, and what kind of security it
has. But remember, its a HIGH security prison. It won't be easy to get out.
Andy, if you want to elaborate on this bit, go ahead>>
