Before message "Ending of a cliffhanger"
=======================================================
Stewie collapsed with the lack of air ...
"Goodness!" Ashley was out getting a cup of coffee.
After the power strike she headed back and witnessed
the same, oxygen less atmosphere. Holding her breath,
she struggled to the console and collapsed - her ...
ahem ... 'packages' slammed onto the auxillary power
switch.
1 hour later ...
"Goodness Gracious!" Sirus got up. He saw Stewie and
Ashley unconscious. Removing Ashley's ... ahem ...
'packages' from the console via pushing her away, he
rapidly fixed the main engine. He had to connect two
wires before the auxillary power ran out.
Unfortunately he forget where the wires were.
Unfortuantely auxillary power almost ran out.
Unfortunately the power *will* run out in two minutes.
Unfortunately, connected the two wires will take two
minutes
Unfortuantely, he still had to find them.
Setting his brain circuit to maximum speed, he managed
to re-aquire his memory of where the circuit was and
quickly soldered the wires together. There was a blip
of auxillary power turning off, but main power set
back in. Stewie slowly woke up.
2 hours later ...
The mountain was getting closer by the second. Dirk
was still hallucinating that he was headed into the
pit-stop to change a flat tire after winning the
NASCAR Winston Cup 500.
"What a minute. Hover cars don't have tires. Must be
something else."
He steered the craft away from the mountains so that
he could do his victory lap. Soon the Starbug was
racing up out of the planet's atmosphere.
Once into the stratosphere, he noticed the Blue
Dwarf orbiting the planet.
"We've got to get the core! It's the only way!"
Dirk made a beeline for the Dwarf. All the while, his
mind showed him images of enemy aircraft being blown
to bits by his laser cannons.
On board the Blue Dwarf, Ashley, the blonde, called
out to Stewie, "Mr. McKenzie, there's a Starbug
coming straight for us."
Stewie leaned forward, still a little dazed from being
without oxygen for a long time.
"What? White Wolf didn't say anything about coming
back yet?"
He walked over to the console.
"It is one of the Starbugs that went down. What is it
doing?"
Dirk was swishing the Starbug this way and that and
blasting his imaginary enemies with his imaginary
cannons. He did several loop-de-loops around the
Dwarf.
"What is he doing? Open one of the cargo bays so he
can land."
In one of his loops, Dirk noticed a cargo bay opening.
"There it is boys! Cover me! I'm going in!"
The bug flew into the bay.
"Releasing proton torpedo!"
Just as everyone thought he was going to land, Dirk
did a 180 and headed back out into space.
"So long, suckers!" He headed back to the planet.
Stewie stood dumbstruck in the Drive Room.
"Now, what do you suppose that was all about?"
Ashely shrugged her shoulders.
Stewie looked back into space.
"Holly! Holly! Who was that?"
Holly (normal) appeared,
"That, Stu, was Dirk Bell having a hallucinagenic
joyride."
"Ah."
Stewie slumped back down into his seat. Now that the
Starbug had disappeared from sight, he tried to
contact White Wolf to explain what happened.
[OOC - Two messages in one. Sorry Dirk, I had to
re-write it a little (one sentance in total). White
Wolf, if you want to continue]
