*Action* - "Auxillary failure"

Who: Kaleb Lewis
Where: Starbug's engines
When: Before the Starbug takes off
<snip 1>
"hhmmm seems like the auxiliary may be on the fraggle, better repair that while
I'm here."
Kaleb leaves the main computer and heads down to the engine room; he starts work
on the auxiliary drive.
At that moment the crew unaware of Kalebs activity down below arrive on starbug
and get ready for departure.
<end snip 1>
Who: Jay Chrysler and the rest of the Starbug crew
Where: Starbug cockpit
When: Just before take off
<snip 2>
Jay gripped the control stick, and slammed the throttle into full-speed.
A wide grin gradually sneaked it's way across his face. He missed this.
The starbug rocketed out of the Blue Dwarf, toward the Huddersfield, to the
loud, Jay-yelled cry of "IT'S HERO TIME!!!!"
<end snip 2>
The Starbug flew across space towards the crippled science ship in front of
them. The giant sun nearby emitted a bright light which would burn into the eyes
of anyone who looked out of the Starbug's windows. Jay pulled down the sun
visor.
"That sun is going to explode really soon." Said Efof, who was looking at the
computer in front of him. "Either that, or this countdown is some sort of baked
potato alarm."
Jay nodded. "This rescue won't take long."
As they approached the S.C.S Huddersfield, a crackly transmission came from
elsewhere in the Starbug. "Captain! I'm really sorry."
"Who is this?" Answered Jay.
"Kaleb Lewis sir! I was fixing the engines, because they're fraggled. You
weren't supposed to set off yet."
"What do you mean?" Jay asked.
"I'm really sorry... but... I can't fix them in time."
Jay tried to decelerate as they approached the other spaceship. He couldn't.
"I don't have any reverse thrust!" Jay shouted in panic, pressing everything he
could think of.
"That's what I mean." Said Kaleb. "It's fraggled."
Jay tried to turn the Starbug away from the science ship, but without any power,
steering was impossible. The Starbug crashed direclty into the hull of the S.C.S
Huddersfield, luckily the ship was old and rusty, so the Starbug fractured it's
hull like crashing through paper.
The first two sections of the Starbug (cockpit and mid-section) embedded into
the ship, whilst the larger rear section remained outside.
Amid a cloud of dust and smoke, the Starbug's door opened and crewmembers fell
out, all covered in bruises and burns from a small electrical fire which had now
started inside.
Jay helped crewmembers out of the Starbug and into the deck of the S.C.S
Huddersfield. "Caotain, this is terrible. Your Health and Safety record is
abysmal!" Said the new health and Safety officer Hallie Taylor.
Jay tried to explain, but gave up. "Where are we?" He asked. Efof was quick to
get out a Psi-scanner. "I think an Engineering deck." He sniffed. "Smells life
chip shops.... and mushy peas!"
Jay silenced him. "Do you hear that?" He said.
There was the tell tale hissing sound of air leaking out into space. The Starbug
had become jammed into the side of the science ship, but hadn't formed a perfect
seal. Air was escaping through the gaps in the broken hull.
Kaleb walked out of the ship, covered in smoke and scratches.
"Kaleb, find a way to fix the air leak will you." Ordered the Captain.
Kaleb saluted, and walked over to the back of the Starbug. Just then, a piece of
metal from the broken starship hull broke away due to the stress of the vacuum
of space, causing a much larger hole to appear. More air instantly started to be
sucked through the hole, pulling all of the crew towards it.
"Grab onto something!" Jay shouted.
Everyone that could grab something did, apart from Health and Safety officer
Hallie Taylor who didn't quite understand and grabbed onto her own clipboard.
She flew towards the hole out into space, and was about to be sucked through it
when Kaleb Lewis caught her by the hand. Her clipboard flew through the hole and
out into the blackness.
"Somebody find something to block that hole up with!" The Captain shouted.
<OOC - tag, do what the Captain says. Lets block up that hole and then start to
explore the ship. The plot here is simple, find the Scientists and get them back
to the Blue Dwarf. The Starbug is still operational as long as someone fixes the
problem with the auxiliary drive that caused them to crash.>
