Alota was fuming, Keto had made her look like a right idiot, he was
loving every minute of it and she could tell, she stood up grabbed
his collar and lifted him off the floor,
"Listen Moron, at least I was trying, and I probably stopped them
from coming in to strip search us, now until we get out of here I
suggest you shut up before I knock you into next week"
"Now Alota place him on the floor slowly, it won't do us any good if
he's unconsious" Alota growled and placed him on the floor, then
turned around to face White Wolf and smiled,
"Your right anyway what are we going to do now?"
"Um I suggest that we use that replica black hole thingy to get us
out of here" Steev suggested.
--- End Snip ---
"And how do you propose we do that?!" asked Keto sarcastically.
"Well, I've got a plan, we make our way to the edge of this
underwater city you see, then we use White Wolf's thingy and ..."
Explained Steev
"Aren't you forgetting if we stick that thing up against the side of
the underwater snow globe city, we'll drown as it floods the place?"
replied Keto, crossing his arms.
"Ummm... We do need to work some of the bugs out..."
"Well, I guess so! When were you going to inform us of this little
fact? Right before you selling us the next plan, like Microsoft does
all the time?!?", Exclaimed Keto, apparently on a roll now and
continuing, "And how are we supposed to solve this little tinesy
problem? Oh, I know! Maybe we should just stick your face through it
first, and just maybe, all that hot air your blowing around, you
would dry up the entire ocean before we drown!"
"Hey!" yelled Steev suddenly getting red faced, and clenching his
fists while advancing on Keto, "Why don't you tell us how you'd do
it?!?"
"Yeah, Blubber Butt!" chipped in Alota.
The huge hamster came back from where he was standing watch and
interposed himself between Keto and the other two, "Now, Now, people -
Let's all concentrate on the task at hand! We can all kill each
other at our leisure, after that... if you three don't keep it down,
you'll alert the whole place to our presence!"
A few minutes of silence past, then Keto spoke up.
"As a matter of fact, I do have a better plan..."
Waiting a few moment for him to continue, and then exsparated, the
huge hamster said, "Well Keto, Don't keep us in suspense, spit it
out."
"First, we find the central air distribution system, and then we slip
this ointment number 32394875 into the system. Since it's aquatic
creature knock out gas, which is totally harmless to the mammals,
they'll be out for forty minutes. So in a matter of minutes after we
slip the ointment into their system, we'll be free go find ourselves
a submarine and return to the dwarf in graceful casualness." replied
Keto smuggly.
"Now, that sounds like a plan. So, Let's get to it. Everyone follow
me, a quick journey through this ventilation duct and we'll be
there." replied White Wolf moving over to a particularly large air
vent in the ceiling.
After several minutes of crawling through the ductwork, they came out
into a large room filled with massive boilers and other engineering
equipment.
"Where are we?" Asked Alota.
"Duh!" sneered Keto pointing to a sign marked, 'central air supply
control room'.
"Ok Steev, show us where Keto can add his drug into their system."
ordered the huge hamster.
Steev looked around the room, and quickly found what he was looking
for. Opening up a hatchway and pointing, "Ok Doc, here it is.
Slipped 'em the mickey, and let's get out of here."
Keto pulled out a vial, and poured into the hatchway, and Steev
closed it.
"How long do you think it'll take for the gas to disperse into the
system." Asked the huge hamster.
"Oh, I'd say about five minutes, It seems to be a very high volume
system." Remarked Steev
"Good! Alota, mark what time it is now. We'll wait five minutes and
then check outside and see if thier all knocked out." Replied White
Wolf.
After waiting a tense five minutes, Alota poked her head out of the
Central Air supply room, and saw several Eniram sleeping soundly on
the floor. She turned to Keto and spoke, "Well Blubber Butt, it looks
like your plan might work after all. Their all out."
"Of course it'll work, I'm a professional." replied Keto.
"Time's a wasting people, let's get the flock out of here!" Ordered
the Huge Hamster.
They all exited the room, and went to the upper levels, passing
sleeping Eniram after sleeping Eniram on the way. When on the main
floor, they spent a few minutes getting thier bearings and headed
towards the Sub Docking ports.
As they were making thier way past a contingent of burly military
types lying on the ground, one of the Enirams stirred, then another.
Alota grabbed and tugged on White Wolf fur, pointing to one of them.
"How long has it been since we've introduced the ointment?" inquired
the Huge hamster.
"Only Twenty minutes!" replied Alota checking a clock, "What the
Frell?!? Didn't you say that stuff was going to knock 'em out for
forty minutes?"
Looking puzzled, Keto pulled out the empty vial, and glanced at the
label, paled and then said quickly, "Um... Perhaps we better hurry it
up."
"Let me see that!" Yelled Alota, grabbing the vial from him and read
it outloud, "Ointment number 32394875, Warning - Do not use on Sea
Water Aquatic creatures, knock out effects are only half duration,
and during the remaining time the subjects strentgh, reaction time,
and irritability becomes doubled."
"Keto, what in Friths name did you get us into?!?" Yelled White Wolf
breaking into a run.
"umm..." Started Keto.
"I can tell you that, He just gave all these hostile fish people a
nasty case of PMS!" interupted Steev, "No Offense, Alota."
Just then about thirty Eniram stormed out of the Sub Docking section,
wielding nets and harpoon things.
"There they are! Get 'em!", Yelled the lead Eniram.
"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting out of here
while I still have my fur on. I'd rather wait for Captain Niples to
come and rescue us then toss with a bunch of Tic'ed off Eniram juiced
up on one of Keto's concoctions!!!" said the Huge hamster as he
turned and ran over to another duct vent, ripped off the grating, and
scrambled inside.
OOC - Mark up one bungled escape attempt. Please feel free to carry
on some more, I've been asked that we not escape quite yet... in the
meantime, I'm off to Canada until next Tuesday. Have Fun, and I'll
see you all then!
