h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*The cruisers dump thousands of grutchins onto the second shield ship and then race past the shielded enemy fleet and into the deep asteroid field, vaping all the asteroids that threaten them*

*The grutchins slowly suck away the shielding of the second ship as the first backs yet farther into the asteroid field.*

Hello? Defenceless ally thats giving you extra shielding is in danger. Help!

*Opens a jump point near to the gruchins and the vortex sucks them off the shield ship*

*The Outlaw Star persues the Vong cruisers, firing Image Recognition missiles and flak cannons.*

Thanks.
*second shield ship stops drifting and spinning, much to the pleasure of the crew in the areas where the artificial gravity field failed, and begins to project yet another layer of shielding onto the allied fleet.*

It's going to take them a while to get through that much shielding.

*a squadron of TIE-interceptors leave the hangar bay to defend the shieldships as the Thunderfist pursues the Cruiser*

*All the fire directed against the cruiser is either blocked by the rear dovin basals or the mass of asteroid that seem to be everywhere in that part of the field*

*fire from the Thunderfist keeps striking the cruiser, while tractor beams smash asteroids against the cruiser's hull*

*Uses shadow cutter to clear a path for the Thunderfist through the asteroid field*

Go Ralph

Wrong Ralph, you aren't in range anymore.

*A frantic general distress call issues out from the planet within the Asteroid field.*

Th.s....s Dubri..ion cent...control.....we...are......nder....at.a..k.....h.lp!

*One of the nearby sensor outposts sends the coordinates of the planet: F124762?thread=278152*

*The Wrath of Olympus bursts into system and imideately makes all speed towards the planet entering the inner field, bringing the second shield ship with it.*

What do you mean, I'm no longer in range?

"*All the fire directed against the cruiser is either blocked by the rear dovin basals or the mass of asteroid that seem to be everywhere in that part of the field*"
Didn't you vaporise all asteroids in your way?

Could be, is it in the b'log?

Vaping the asteroids in front of me doesn't mean that no asteroids will fill up the path made, it is after all a very active asteroid field

Nature abhors vacuum, and with all the shooting going on...

*The Outlaw Star flies in to right behind the cruisers and fires its flak cannons.*

*A TIE-fighter collides with an asteroid and explodes*
