<outside on the hull snip>
Dante leapt and landed on the head of the robot in the middle. Taking
the hydrogen cell he rammed it down the throat of the Robot.
"To quote one of the humans films, `You Are Terminated!'" Dante leapt
of the bot as the cell exploded. Shards of robot and clone flesh flew
in all directions. Smoke coated the hull.
As it settled all that could be seen was a slightly charred Dante
stood stiff over the hanger doors.
<end ouside on the hull snip>
who: The Team outside
Where: on the upper side quadrangle of the Blue Dwarf's exterior
hull, by the hanger doors
The team stood on the doors, their magnetic boots allowing them to
walk safely on the side of the 'Dwarf. The JayBots had been fought
off for now at least.
"So how do we open the doors?" Seymour asked.
Everyone looked at him. "I thought you could tell us, it was YOUR
idea to come here!!!"
"Ahh, this is true" Seymour mused. "But I have no idea, i'm no low
level hangerbay technician! I've only ever TOLD someone to open a
door, never done it myself, I could never even work out the computers
in the drive-room!"
Dabte looked around and found a protruding bulkhead on the edge of
the door. "Theres a control panel here! Its all rusted up but will
probably work, I think we have to enter a code. Seymour, you're the
ex-captain, can you remember the code?"
"What do you think I am?! Of course not, I have people that do that
kind of thing for me!"
"Seymour this is important!" Dante snapped.
"Alrright alright dear boy, no need to get shirty! I have all access
codes written in a diary."
"Which is...?" asked Dante.
"On my desk in my study unfortunately." Seymour said.
"Thats no good! We cant go back now there'll be more of them jay bots
coming any minute!"
"Speaking of which...." Said a security grunt pointing over the
ridge.
A new Jay bot clambered over the hull towards them, almost sprinting
on its mechanical legs. It leaped to come down on them and fired a
salvo of missiles towards the group. Everyone dived off the hanger
door which the missiles hit, shattering its metal plating.
The Jay Bot was just about to land where they had all been stood when
shards of the now broken bay door were expelled outwards at great
speed along with a gust of the compressed flightbay atmosphere that
now expanded outwards from the breach. The jaybot was caught in the
gust and flung outwards into open space.
Seymour had not quite got off the door in time before it exploded
outwards and was also caught in the gust. Dante grabbed for him but
it was too late, Seymour spiralled off into the void screaming.
Seymour checked his spacesuit, "Top of the range in stylish no-
atmosphere wear, but it doesnt come with a jetpack?!" he complained.
Suddenly a large metal claw grabbed his helmet.
"Ooh eer" he said as the turned to face the jaybot who was also
floating in space. Its mechanical legs were flapping around, and it
looked a little confused. It could have killed him instantly by
metely squeezing Seymours helmet but the robot clone didnt seem to
know what to do.
This gave Seymour some time, he noticed a pheumatic valve on the
robots leg and pulled it sharply. Compressed air shot out of the
pipe, pushing them back to the Blue Dwarf, their speed increasing.
---In the flight bay---
Dante and the rest of the team walked down the flight tunnel towards
the shuttles, still wearing spacesuits because of the big hole in the
bay doors.
Suddenly the jaybot shot down the tunnel in front of them and
exploded on the far wall, narrowly missing the Starbug with the dodgy
rear light. Seymour who had struggled free beforehand, slammed into
Dante, knocking them both sliding down the tunnel.
"Seymour! We thought you were a gonna!"
"What?! You left me for dead? That's an outrage! You could have got
in a shuttle and come and saved me!"
"Oh year...we erm... didnt think of that..." someone lied.
<OOC- right lets get some big ass weapons from the ships, but surely
arent they going to be way too heavy to carry if they're supposed to
be ship-mounted?>
