Raven - "Rescuing a VIP"

<snip>
Once Mk.7 was onboard, the Raven made it's best speed to the planet
they had heard over the radio that was under attack from the
Hymanoptera, in the hopes they could help liberate it. This
momentous task did not, however, keep Mk.7, Dean Efof and KatZ from
enjoying a good pint of amunition-grade lager.

Who: Mk.7, Dean Efof and KatZ
Where: In the Raven
"Show me the way to go hoooome…" Sang Efof, steering the Raven into
a loop.
"Shut up you lightweight, you've only had one pint!" said Mk7.
Dean pushed Efof out of the way. "And get out of my seat, this is my
ship!"
"I can't help it!" Slurred Efof. "There must be something in that
beer."
"Or…. You're a lightweight!" Said MK7.
"Shut up! At least I CAN drink, you're a robot!"
They squabbled as Dean tilted the Raven's nose towards the planet.

Who: Queen Brittany Jennifer
Where: On the Planet below
Queen Brittany-Jennifer Royal of England shivered in the cold. She
looked out of the cage that she now found herself in and saw a snowy
mountainous landscape.
When the Hymenoptera had started their attack on her holiday home of
New Ibiza, the young Queen Brittany had been out shopping for a
new `Prada' handbag.
She had been fearful for her precious life, but Queen Brittany
always had a safe backup method of escape. Two years ago, Seymour
had given her a portable wormhole drive that allowed her to get from
Earth to New Ibiza effortlessly. She had used this on many occasions
fine, but now when her life really depended on getting off New Ibiza
quickly…. The batteries had decided to die.
So using the wormhole drive only took her a few light years, it took
her to a boring, cold, ice planet with only a small civilisation of
miners.
Quite ironically, this planet was also under attack by the
Hymenoptera, so she hadn't really gained much. Although at least
this planet wasn't scheduled for imminent destruction by Jay. The
Hymenoptera had gone about rounding up the planet's population and
putting them in cages, ready to probably dissolve them into their
basic proteins to feed to the baby hymenoptera grubs.
So the Queen stood in the cage with several other refugees,
clutching her Prada handbag. She also held the portable wormhole
device with the flat battery. A long claw reached inside the cage
and snatched the device off her, and smashed it onto the ground.
"Hey!"
The Hymenoptera looked at her through it's multiple beady red eyes.
She scowled at it. One of the few people in the world to have the
guts to scowl back at the race of aliens set to destroy the entire
human race.
The large insect slowly scuttled off and Brittany looked up at the
stars. She wondered which planet she was on, and when someone was
coming to rescue her.
Above the planet, the Raven was entering the atmosphere.
----In the Raven----
"So what are we doing here again?" Asked Efof.
"Got a distress call, we're arriving to save their asses!" Said
Dean, pretending to be all macho for a change.
They checked scanners and saw a small Hymenoptera encampment at the
base of a snow-covered mountain.
"About 50 humans in cages, with only 20 Hymenoptera guarding them.
Think you can handle that?"
"Of course!" Said MK7.
"Um… I think so…" Said Efof. "Hangon, what do you mean `YOU'? Aren't
you coming with us?"
"I won't be able to get the Raven close enough to land." Said
Dean. "They have defensive AA turrets around, and there's no flat
land. I'll drop you out on the mountain and you can make your way to
the camp."
"Drop us out?" Said Efof, but before he knew it, Dean had thrown a
parachute at him and ushered him and MK7 to the outside door.
"Time to be heroes?" asked MK7, fitting the parachute to his metal
body, then jumped out into the cold atmosphere.
Efof bit his lip and watched him go, until Dean kicked him out.
