Seymour - "First Blood"

Who: Seymour, Efof and Queen Brittany
Where: Mining missile, flight deck, Blue Dwarf
When: After they landed on the Blue Dwarf
Thanks to the heroic efforts of Davie, the mining missile carrying Seymour, Efof, Brittany and a few other survivors from the planet eventually boarded the Blue Dwarf. The missile hovered in the air above the deck for an unusually long period of time.
"Are you going to land this contraption or not?" Seymour said, poking Efof. "I need to use the gentleman's lavatory."
"I'm trying, the engines are turned off, there must be a problem with the gravity."
The mining craft hovered in the air. A hatch opened and they all climbed out, realising that they were now floating. "This is just great, how am I going to get to the lavatory now? It'll just make a mess all over my nice clean suit!"
Efof pulled Brittany out of the hatch, who now had a wild redness to her eyes. She drooled at the mouth and bared her teeth. She lunged towards Efof, trying to bite his head.
"Brains! Brains!" She murmured.
"You won't find anything in there!" Seymour scoffed. "Efof, go fetch Dr Keto, he might be able to cure her."
Efof nodded and swam awkwardly towards the doors, but before he got there they slid open and several security officers walked out. They were using magnetic boots to stick firmly to the ground, and wore crisp clean JMC uniforms.
"Halt!" Said the closest one who seemed to be the most highly ranked. "You are all under arrest for mutiny against the Captain."
Seymour sighed, then addressed the leader. "Look, this is all a misunderstanding. Let me speak to Rosette, she'll clear this up."
The man shook his head and brought his gun closer to Seymour's head. "I said you're under arrest for mutiny."
"Arrest yourself!" Seymour said, pausing as he realised it was a ridiculous thing to say. "Captain Castillo ordered the extinction of the entire population of that planet. She's a nutcase! Don't listen to any orders she gives you."
"Captain Castillo's orders came directly from the JMC. The company I work for, and the company YOU all work for." Said the security officer. "If you don't like their orders then quit."
Behind Seymour, Efof bit his lip. "I don't want to quit, I'm saving up my paycheques to buy a house made of chocolate on the biscuit-moon of Maryland III."
"Shh!" Said Seymour. "We're rebelling!"
"Ok" said Efof, and remained quiet.
Queen Brittany however didn't remain quiet. She kicked herself off from the nearby wall and sailed through the air towards the security officers. She bit the leaders face off, causing him to shoot wildly in panic. The other officers were confused, some of them started shooting at the survivors from the planet, and others had heard Seymour's point and started to see sense. They started shooting the other security officers, until they'd all managed to kill each other.
"Well done your highness!" Seymour said, as Brittany was still feasting on the dead Human's face. She snarled and drooled globules of blood which floated about due to the lack of gravity.
"Holly, lock that door!" Seymour ordered. "We don't want any more JMC guards coming in here."
"Err..." Said Holly from a wall-mounted computer screen. "You do know that the Captain could just overwrite anything I do? I'm programmed to obey her, sorry dude."
"Good point, well made dear chap." Said Seymour, then thought for a moment. "Does that mean if Castillo asks you where we are, you'll tell her straight away?"
Holly nodded. "Sorry dude, it's in my programming innit."
Seymour thought for a moment. "We need Rufus, he can get you on our side. Can you put me through to him?"
Holly nodded and a few seconds later his face was replaced by a live video stream of Rufus' lab where he was hurriedly typing on a computer.
"S-S-Seymour what are you d-d-doing, this channel isn't secure! We only have a few seconds before C-C-Castillo will be alerted!"
Seymour nodded. "Agreed. I need to know we're on the same side, we need to get rid of Castillo."
"We're d-d-doing all we can." Said Rufus.
"But I think we're missing the important issue here - what do we call ourselves? I recommend 'La RĂ©sistance!'." He said in a French accent.
