Efof and the giant peach... erm... orange

Who: Efof, Davie, Rosette & Rufus
Where: Slithmorphin
When: After the Kinitawowi attacked

<snip>
Through the door they could see the steaming barrel of a ship to ship combat weapon attached to the second of the two Kinitawowi dropships zeroing in on them. "Ahaha…How fair is that!?" Efof whined. "Run!" ordered Amber, "Out the back!"
Davie threw a series of smoke grenades into the entrance way to block the gunner's view long enough for them to escape.
<end snip>

The explosion aided their escape by sending them flying out of the building, which now was collapsing in on itself.
“How are we going to get back to the Blue Dwarf?” Rosette asked, knowing their Starbug was too far away and likely destroyed.

Davie pointed to the closest ship, a large orange that had previously been a Kinitawowi dropship.
“No way!” Said Efof. “I don't know how to fly an orange!”

Several more shells fired from the ship's combat weapon behind them quickly changed his mind. They needed to get out of here fast before the entire city was levelled.

Between them and the spherical fruit however was a mob of the hairy soldiers. Luckily they were all distracted by something in the centre of the crowd.

"I'm thinking I've probably got more spares than you've got soliders," the new robot growled, "let's see who runs out first, shall we?"
<end snip>

Suddenly all the Kinitawowi all fell down dead, dropping one at a time like dominoes, their furry corpses riddled with bullets.

“Halt, see!” Shouted a plastic robot, stood in the epicentre of the corpses. It trained two weapons on them, then waited a few seconds as it performed a scan on them.
“Ah, different lifeforms detected eh?” The robot said to itself, then withdrew his weapons and stepped towards them carefully over the corpses. “Shw mae! I am a new Kai series 9000 multi-purpose Droid. Were you the ones who ordered me?”
Rosette, Efof and Davie looked at each other in confusion.
“...If you're not my new owner, I shall have to kill you. Prepare to meet -Insert Deity Name Here”

It didn't really take quick thinking to find the correct answer to the question. Even Efof would have figured it out eventually, but it was Rosette who spoke first. “Yes, of course. We ordered you. Now... first task, can you shoot those Kinitawowi over there?”
She pointed to a new team of furry soldiers who were approaching. These were armed with bazukoids, and were firing wildly. One caught the ground near Efof causing him to fall on his broken arm. He cried out in pain and then ran towards the giant orange with the rest of them.

“How are we going to get in? We need to peel it!” Efof said. His question was answered when a stray bazukoid blast blew a hole in the peel right through to the pith. They crawled inside, and found that at least some of the spaceship's internal components were still intact, albeit probably a different colour.

“I like it.” Efof said, looking around at the orange ceilings, orange floors, orange control systems, orange computers... and a fleshy orange pilot's seat.
Efof sat down, crushing the seat into orange juice. He grunted and shook the sticky juice off him. “Okay can someone help me fly this thing, I'm looking for the ignition switch.”
“What colour is it?” Asked Davie.
“Probably... orange?”
“They're ALL orange!” Davie said pointing to banks and banks of orange coloured controls, then tripped up over a pip.

Efof pressed every button he could, and then grabbed the flight stick, which smelled a lot like jaffa cakes. He resisted eating it, and pulled hard, launching the overgrown satsuma off the ground very slowly.
Efof pressed a few more buttons and the orange dropped again, this time it started rolling towards the other ships.

Outside, Kai the robot was just about to deliver the finishing blow to a tough Kinitawowi when they were both squashed into marmalade. A new robot was quickly reassembled from the scaffold and popped out. He looked at the giant rolling orange containing his new owners. “You're not leaving me behind you aren't!” He said in his welsh accent.

He fired a grappling hook into the citrus skin of the orange, and tied the rope to his reassembling machine. Just as he finished the knot, the Kinitawowi ship fired a shell which catapulted the orange in the opposite direction.

Inside, Efof, Davie, Rosette and Rufus held on as they were rolled around. Davie pointed to the viewscreen first as he saw a dangerous-looking triangular building they were rolling towards. “It'll slice us in half!” He cried.

Efof flicked some more switches and their giant sphere started to launch towards the sky, with Kai dangling from a rope.

Back in the Blue Dwarf, Captain Amber ordered the flight bay doors to be opened even though she didn't really know why.

The giant orange squeezed into the flight deck and rolled to a stop.

Some skin peeled back and Efof, Rosette, Davie and Rufus dropped out feeling sticky. Efof was licking his fingers when Amber can to join them.
“What... is THAT?” The Captain asked.
“Lots of Vitamin C, it's good for you!” Efof said.

Amber ignored him and turned to her brother. “Did you find out who's in charge of the JMC?”
“K-k-kin-n-n-ita-w-w-w...” He stammered.
“He means Kinatawa-wa- kini-- kinitawow- I don't know how to say it.” Said Efof.
“They mean Kinitawowi” Said Rosette.
Amber's eyebrows lifted in surprise. “And did you find their secret base?”
Rufus nodded. “It's ob-b-b-bvious really.” he said. “The b-b-base for the j-j-j-jupiter mining corporation is in... j-j-jupiter!”
Amber looked curious. “What do you mean? Jupiter is a big ball of gas, there's nowhere to build a base on!”

Rufus presented his psi-scanner showing a map of the base. It showed a square building right at the centre of the gas giant. It was where nobody would know to look unless they knew it was there.

“I want everyone to prepare this ship for a battle.” Amber said. “Tomorrow we're ending this, and destroying whatever hold the Kinitawowi has on the JMC.”

<OOC – We've got a few days before we start the battle, I thought you might want to use the time to get to meet the new characters Kai, Dennis and Storm? Also if you have some ideas for attacking the JMC base please email me!>
