A day in the life of a BD hamster - A cybertheft, A prank, and a B

Lt. White Wolf
In his personal quarters on the Blue Dwarf
Shortly after docking with Vega 22 station
White Wolf was grabbing up various things he wanted to bring with him
on his trip to the Vega station and stowing them in his cheek
pouches. He grabbed up several hard green biscuit-like things in a
baggy, a set of holodisks in a another baggie, some rather
sophisticated tools in a final baggy. Then, he picked up his modified
Vidman which was connected via a patch cord to a newly installed
communications jack in the wall. And made sure it completed the
downloading of a edited and pared down edition of Holly. The download
was complete, and he turned it on. Holly's face appeared on the
little Vidman screen.
White Wolf spoke to it, "Hello! I'll be calling you Holly 2. Perhaps,
you can think of better name for yourself later. Now, how does all
the new programming subroutines I applied to you feel?"
Holly 2 responded causally, "They seem alright, though, I have this
intense urge to make another computer look silly."
"That's exactly the kind of go-getter personality what I wanted
instead of the laid back Holly! Now, patch into the remote
transceiver I rigged up for you. Can you sense the Blue dwarf's
communication net?"
"Yep, It's working great. Do you need me to send a message?"
"No, not now, Holly 2. I just wanted to make sure you were properly
hooked in to the net. Ok, one final check, How many other systems do
you sense?"
"Two are very distinct, and one is rather fuzzy and it might be
having multiple personalities."
"Three? What are their names?"
"Saddam, Jill, and Holly" pausing, while grinning Holly 2
asked, "Should I make that Holly 1?"
"Just call him Holly for now. I know about Saddam and Holly, mmm, I
guess we'll check into this `Jill' later. Bye, Holly 2!"
"Goodbye!"
White Wolf put the Vidman on standby and the screen went dark, and
then slung it over his shoulder along his machine gun.

Vega 22 Station customs
A short time later
A security man with a nametag that said "Biff" and rank of Lt. on
walked over and stared at the six foot one inch hamster, and then
yelled "What the hell is this?"
White Wolf replied politely, "It's just my manual communication
device."
"I'm not talking the about the gun, I'm talking about you... You
talking Rat! Couldn't the Blue Dwarf afford to hire some *real* men?
Their hiring disgusting rodents!"
"I beg your pardon, rodents are not disgusting. And their very fine
workers too!"
"I'll bet they are! You work for cheese, huh?"
"Well, No, not exactly..."
"Shut up and give me the gun, ya stupid rat!"
"Alright, just you take good care of it.", White Wolf hands over his
machine gun.
"Yeah... I'll take good care of it...", Biff then casually throws it
over onto the pile of contraband taken from the Blue Dwarf's
crewmembers.
"Hey!" White Wolf objects, while leaning towards his mishandled gun.
"Get a move on." Says another burly looking Vega 22 security guard
giving him a hard shove.
Glowering for a moment at Biff, White Wolf moves on.

Vega 22 Station Auditorium
Shortly after the promotional space core video
Watching everyone file out, White Wolf finds himself having
difficulty deciding who to follow as he had three exciting
possibilities he liked – Going with Harris and getting to beat up
some of Vega's security team, going with Steev and possibly
scrounging up some really neat stuff in engineering, or going with
Commander Niples and checking out this new fighter. Grabbing out his
four sided die, he flipped it in the air, and caught it. He read the
die, and said to himself, "Four, do something different. Now what
should I do? Hmmm." Thinking for a moment, and then practically
giggling, "I got it! I think Holly 2 will love it."
-----------------------------
Somewhere else on Vega Station 22 nearby a computer console
30 minutes later
White Wolf had plugged in his Vidman to the console, and Holly 2 was
merrily hacking away at the stations mainframe computer.
Holly 2's face was wearing dark shades on the vidman screen and he
smiling, "Man, they call that a firewall? It's made of tissue paper!
What shall I take? I've got quite a few military secrets on the menu
today: Secret weapon & ship project plans, war strategy plans,
military annual briberies database, Top level espionage contact
records, Alien cover ups, and our favorite – Classified Temporal
Engineering projects."
White Wolf quietly whispers while looking over his
shoulder, "Temporal engineering and secret ship plans."
"Got It. Now, I feel like making this militant computer look silly.
Got any ideas?"
"First, did you transfer this data over to the protected data storage
on the Blue Dwarf?"
"Yep, that's done."
"Alright, Mmm, make the computer belch everytime it prints something
out on the screen and have it substitute `Omniblab' when referring to
communications units & such."
Holly 2's shades turn into big mirrored shades, "I'm hot mon! Getting
the station computer to do that was easy... Wanna go for another?"
"Where's this Lt. Biff now?"
"Oh, He's in the bar with Harris and the other security guys itching
for a fight with the marines. Shall I try for something more
difficult?"
"No, Holly 2, I think we got enough goodies for now, which will take
them a couple of days to figure out what happened. Just have the
computer send a message to distract Major Harris when I get into the
bar, and disconnect yourself."
"Alright, party pooper! Message send and disconnected."
Perking up a eyebrow, White Wolf says "Now that ain't a bad idea,
Holly 2.", While putting the Vidman on standby with a confused
looking Holly 2.
---------------------
Vega 22 Stations Bar
Shortly thereafter
White Wolf stepped into the bar, and looking around at the arrayed
stations marines and Blue Dwarf security officers. He eventually
spotted Biff with a drink at the bar.
The stations computer chirps on Harris's communications unit, "There
is a message for you on the Omniblab.", Harris's eyebrow goes up,
while thinking "What's an Omniblab?".
White Wolf walks over towards Biff, and taps him on the shoulder and
says, "Excuse me, But I'd like to speak with you, Biff."
Biff turns around, and says rather loudly, "Hey Guys, Look! It's that
big talking rat I was telling ya about!" Several marines turn to
stare where Biff was pointing, as he continues, "So what do you want,
rat?"
"I just wanted to tell you, I think you were very rude, and you
should be more polite when your performing your duty in customs."
"I don't have to be polite to nobody. Especially no stupid rat from
that pond scum of a ship! Now get out of here, your wasting my time
you stupid rat."
White Wolf nodded seeming satisfied with his response, and turned
around slowly and began walking away.
Laughing at the retreating hamster, and then looking down and noticed
a little brown pellet-like object near his boot, Biff
exclaimed, "What the Hell?!?".
A marine nearby laughs at Biff, while saying, "He took a dump on yer
boot, Biff!"
Red Faced and enraged, Biff stands up while yelling "Come back here,
you dirty Rat!" and leaps upon the six foot one inch hamster and
begins grappling him, and they both fall to the floor.
Amid the scuffling, suddenly Biff screams in a panic stricken
voice, "Hey! Help me! It's trying to eat me!!!" as White Wolf nearly
stuffs his head inside one of his cheek pouches.

OOC – Onion, I'd like to compliment you on reading my mind with that
action post, I was going to post pretty much the same thing on what
WW was doing while the BD came up to the station. Kudos! I really
liked your tactful use of WW.
