Re: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] When the bough breaks...

Erm.. nope."
"Smeg. Otherwise it was a damn fine plan Jay" said Dean.
"Oh shut up and think." Jay pondered, he'd forgotten that alot of the ships had recnetly had upgraded tow line launchers booked for replacment and hadnt yet had them installed, only the Phoenix still had its launcher intact, after Jay had informed JMC's resources department that "If those smegging butchers lay one finger on my baby then I'll be forced to use cocktail umbrellas, sandpaper and elastic bands on them and then open the shuttlebay doors whilst they are walking through the bay." 
 
Harsh but fair Jay thought.
 
"Do I have to do everything around here?" Jay said into the Phoenixes comm, that Kelly, the onboard computer had repaired...ish.
"Smegs sake, everyone in a Blue Midget follow my lead"
The Phoenix manouvered over to Deans shuttle, its left arm deployed, and took a hold of Deans cable, which, ironically was still there even though the launcher wasnt.
He then moved toward the 'Dwarf and smashed the cable against the hull, causing it to connect.
All the 'Midgets followed suit, then did the same to each others cables until finally, only Jay was left, when he launched his own cable with his untouched launcher. 
"Ok guys; FULL REVERSE!" he ordered, each and every shuttle or auxhillary craft fired the reverse thrusters at full power, and pulled with everything they had, inside the shuttles the pilots could hear the creaking of the bulkheads as they strianed to pull the 'Dwarf.
"COME ON PULL! you guys in squadron 12, FULL POWER!" Jay shouted
Slowly but surely, and after extreme effort the Blue Dwarf came to a halt, free of the planets gravitational pull.
"Bugger me..." said Dean "That was hard work"
"Tell me about it" Jay said "If only the 'Dwarf had power, coulda just fired reverse thrusters without nearly pulling out shuttles to pieces!"
At this point all the lights came on across the Dwarf, and the thrusters fired up.
"Guys....." said Jay "please move into land...while I go shoot something!"

"Whether you read it in esperanto or in english it says the same thing, neither of you even got us OFF the flight deck!, we've been flying round in circles for 3 hours!"
"..oops..." Kara and Dean said simultaneuosly
<end snip>
"That admittedly wasn't my fault, I was tryting to stop Amber's hair from going on fire."
"Yeah, and as for Dean's hair, if I'd actually concentrated, his gel might have caught fire, could have been a nasty accident."
"You're telling me!" said Dean, pulling out his radio. "Guys, all go to shuttlebay, now. We're going to play tugboat."
"Aight" came the varied voices of the other pilots.
<IN THE SHUTTLEBAY>
"Ok, check, check, check. We're ready here Jay."
"Ditto."
"Uh-huh"
"Testify"
"Amen brother"
And various other affirmative sounds came over the comm.
"Let's roll! yelled Jay and the ships flew out of the bay into the depths of space.
"Alright, now, somehow we've got to attach these cables to the Blue Dwarf... could be tricky. Anyone got any ideas?" asked Kara over the comm to both the pilots and teh BD
"Erm.. nope."
"Smeg. Otherwise it was a damn fine plan Jay" said Dean.
"Oh shut up and think."
