Havoc tries his hand @ cosmetology, but luckily, is given a job in

OOC - Wow, I take one weekend off to accept a Elite Force challenge
and the posts in BD go through the roof! (Well, It kinda figures for
the kind weekend I had - getting MVP for quite a few of the matchs
because I decided to crouch in wait at the enemies base for the
returning flag carriers to get the one's that keep getting away. And
annoyingly getting blown up & humourly killed by my *bomb* happy
partners in fragging kept mistaking me for an enemy while I was
*attempting* to carry the enemy flag back to our base...)
Congrats on the SOTM award, Dean & Tara!
And Niccy, I hope we see you back playing Katrina very soon.
I'll miss you in the meantime!

Who: White Wolf - the hamster bumbler extraordaire, Cerebrum, Havoc,
Wd-40, And any other assorted people still waiting in the shuttle.
When: Just after the rope ladder was deployed again.
Where: Coming in for a landing back at Base camp.
--- Snipittypoo ---
Cerebrum didn't bother climbing down the ladder, but stayed in the
starbug,
tinkering with an object that looked somewhat like a handheld
computer.
"What's that?" asked White Wolf.
"It's a probablity distorter," Cerebrum replied, "I picked it up
before we
left. I'm going to use it to empty out every casino on the planet," he
paused for a moment, "Oh yeah, I'll also use it to help the crew."
He punched a button. "There, now the robots will always dodge to the
left
when dodging a bazookoid shot. See if you can tell the others that."
--- End Snipittypoo ---
"Gimme that right now!", Yelled the huge hamster while grabbing for
the handheld computer, and caught the stylus in his paw, as Cerebrum
took a sharp intake of breath as he saw one of the spider bots
quickly swoop down at them in the doorway and begin to fire.
The large hamster quickly ticked the stylus against one the handheld
computers screen's icons, and the spider bot's weapon fire suddenly
sprouted into tofu & bean curd, which smacked noisely against
Cerebrums shirt, as the overgrown hamster quickly yanked away the
probablity distorter and said, "This can probably help us deactivate
these bot's! We just need to figure out which of these Icon on this
display does it."
The bot suddenly realising that it's weapon didn't suddenly lashed
out with one of it's legs towards Cerebrum, when Havoc (who was
standing behind them) suddenly fired his cannon over Cerbrums head,
grazing Cerbrums hair a little bit, and hitting the offending Bot
enough times to cause it explode.
"Mind your fire there Havoc, I don't think Cerebrum would look all
that good in a reverse Mohawk." Said the overgrown hamster rather
matter of factly, while intently examining the probablity distorter,
as Cerebrum reached up and tentatively touched where his hair was
about a half inch longer a moment earlier.
"Sure no problem, I'll just ask this guy to move when I fire."
Replied Havoc looking over thier shoulders, "Ahh, there's another
one. Excuse me." Cerebrum quickly stepped back as Havoc stepped
forward and fired several more rounds at another hovering bot.
"opps, out of ammo! You can have your spot back, while I reload."
Said Havoc, motioning for Cerebrum to trade places with him.
Grabby poked his head out the door back at the mass of destruction
that the floating city crashing into the other city had caused, and
muttered, "Wow! Both cities are almost completely gone!"
"Damn! I guess that means we're out of a job then." Commented Havoc
slapping and extra clip into his weapon, then turning to the White
Wolf inquired, "Say, could I join your crew?"
"Yeah sure." Answered the overgrown huge hamster distractedly, trying
to get Havoc out of his fur quickly while going through the handheld
computer's menus.
"So what's my job going to be?" Asked Havoc again.
Now this question caught huge hamster totally off guard, causing him
to blink in surprise and hear the sound of his heartbeats for a
moment or two as his mind went blank while trying to come up with a
suitable quick answer. Then he saw one of the Blue Dwarf Security
officers disable one of the attacking bots, forgetting that he was
standing directly underneath it at the time, and so the disabled bot
fell down with a sickening thud on top of him. On the next heartbeat,
White Wolf quickly answered, "We've got plenty of openings in our
security departement."
"That sounds great!", Remarks Havoc, "Say, Where's Grabby gotten off
to?"
Cerebrum & White Wolf turned and quickly glance around the little
shuttle, as WD-40 pipes up, "I believe he stepped out the door."
Cerebrum glanced out the door and down the ladder, "There he is going
down the ladder!"
Looking at his empty paw, the huge hamster exclaimed in alarm, "Hey!
Where'd the probablity distorter go?"
"Uh oh." Started Havoc quickly moving to the door to look down at
Grabby, "Curse you, Grabby! This isn't going to look good on my
resume for my first day on the job!"
Cerebrum quickly read Havocs mind, then Grabby's and angrily
shouted, "He nicked my probablity distorter! Don't just stand there,
shoot him!"
Without thinking, Havoc took aim, and fired off a quick couple of
bursts, which dug up the dirt next to Grabby's feet as he legged it
out from underneath the slowly landing shuttle.
"Hey! Hey! Watch where your shooting Havoc, some of my friends happen
to be down there!" Said the auge hamster as he pushed Havoc's gun
muzzle up into air, and guided Havoc himself back into the
shuttle, "Worry about Grabby later. I'm gonna have enough trouble
explaining to Captain Niples over there when we land about how one of
our newest recruits is indirectly responsible for destroying two
different cities, without you going and adding reckless manslaughter
of our crewmates to the list of your first days activities. Though,
when I consider the way Charlie Edwards ran the security department
after Major Harris left, that might actually be a plus in your
favor..."
As the shuttle bumped to a landing, the huge hamster motioned for
Cerebrum to exit first while saying, "After you, Dr. Cerebrum."
--------------------------
Quite some time later - As Wd-40 & White Wolf were sitting accross
from each other in White Wolf's office playing a game of Othello when
Holly suddenly appeared on the nearby wall monitor and said, "Miss
Lloyd wished me to relay another theft report per your earlier
instructions to flag any unusual thefts for your attention, that an
entire stores inventory of one armed mannequin's have been nicked,
while leaving behind the clothing that was previously on the
mannequin's."
The Huge hamster glanced up at the wall monitor and "Thank you,
Holly. And tell Miss Lloyd I already heard about all of her
demolitions equipment going missing."
"And she's asked for permission to kill the perp when she catches him
or her." asked Holly.
While picking up a new Othello game piece the hamster shook his head
and looked accross at Wd-40 asking, "Do you think we should let her
kill Grabby for swiping her private bomb stash, WD? Just kidding..."
and turning back to the wall monitor again the hamster replied to
Holly, "You can tell Miss Lloyd that permission to kill said perp is
denied. Plus would you please remind our new Chief of Security, Phil
Febuggure, that the perp... Ahem... Grabby is to be caught alive?"
Then the hamster put down the Othello game piece, as Wd-40 quickly
placed his piece on the board, then the huge hamster quickly
comment "Aw Smegg! I shouldn't have placed that piece there, I
shouldn't have let myself distracted... So how many weeks of
butlering do I owe you now?" as Wd-40 then began flipping nearly
every peice on the game board to his color.
"This loss would bring your total to a week." Replied Wd-40, "But
sir, I still must protest, I can't allow you to do that, *I'm* built
to serve, not to be served."
"Alright, I'll make you a deal. I'll play you the next game for
double or nothing." Quickly replied the hamster, "Remember, your
still under orders not to throw the game."
Wd-40 shook his head in embarrassment & frustration as he cleared the
board, and set up for another game.
The Comm unit on White Wolf's desk buzzed, and the huge hamster
absentmindly reached over and toggled the switch while
answering, "Commander White Wolf here..."
<Tag - Ok, who feels like having a chat with everyone's favorite
first officer hamster gimboid?>
OOC - BTW Cerebrum, I hope you didn't mind my barbering ala gunfire
inspiration!
