Awards, Parties, and Dangerous Mechanical Armour! Oh my!

OOC- Thanks for the award. Is there a cash prize with it?(hint, hint)
Dirk regained conciousness and stood up in the hall way. He whole body ached.
He considered going to the medi-bay, but realized that no ointment would heal
what ails him. He tried to think of what he had done while he was drunk to feel
like this. His headache wasn't because of a hangover(his blood was already
about 60% alcohol, so that prevented any morning after pains). Then he
remembered the three big pimpbots. But that must have been a dream. He noticed
the ax laying on the floor across the hall. Or was it a dream?
He ran back to his quarters and took a cold shower to liven himself up. Dren
was laying on the floor asleep, dead to the world. A large pool of his saliva
had formed around his head. It also seemed that he had terrible flatulance
while sleeping off drunken binges.
When Dirk emerged from the shower in a clean uniform, he noticed that several
scutters had gathered around the TV and that Dren was still asleep. They were
watching Forbidden Planet and seemed to clap(in the only way that scutters can
clap) everytime Robbie the Robot appeared. "What the hell are you guys doing
here? How did you know about the TV?" They all pointed to Dren. "Well, you
can stay. Just don't let anyone else know. And make sure he gets the same
message. We'll be in a lot of shit if this gets out."
Dirk walked towards the science bay when he realized that he had forgotten all
about the three pimpbots, or whatever they really were. They pain that had gone
away when he showered was now back with a vengeance. "Holly."
"Yes," Holly replied.
"Are there any mechanical devices onboard that weren't there before.
Specifically, three big ones that were on the cargo bay deck."
"Lemme check." Holly disappeared off the nearby screen and then returned a few
moments later. "It does seem like we've got three unidentified exoskeletons on
board."
"Exoskeletons? The Core doesn't have any exoskeletons in operation. At least
not like those. Where are they?"
"They seem to be headed towards the Promenade."
"Alert the security staff. We need to get some bazookoids and blast those
bastards."
"I don't think that'll do any good."
"Why not?"
"I'm detecting a powerful electrical field around them. It could either be some
sort of force field or a really kick ass stereo system. Thought the odds are
against it, I bet it's the stereo system."
Dirk thought for a moment. He couldn't do anything to them if they had some
sort of electrical shielding. But he couldn't just let them get away with what
they had done. No one pushes Dirk Bell around and gets away with their dignity
fully intact, or their teeth. He came up with a theory. But it was only a
theory and his plan might not work at first even if his theory was right. Since
it was all he had, there was nothing else for him to do except try it.
