Chief Of Security. Commander Pingu

*Over comm screen*

Commander Pingu, this is a recorded announcement. Thank you for your interest in the Starship Derringer. Unfortunately, the ship is currently unable to colect you. However a shuttlecraft will be sent to collect you, and you may embark on the Derringer when it arrives. I don't mind saying that we could use a fresh face around here. Also, for the record, I require your species.

Yeah sorry about that, I realised that you would need my species after I sent the message. I am a Penguin.

*Over comm*

I have a free moment right now, so we can communicate directly.

A sentient Penguin? Will the ship be able to acommodate you? I mean no offence, but flippers aren't the most versatile appendage.

he might use a unbrella to do the stuff

I will transform my flippers into feet.

Caprtain any news on when i may join you on your fabulous ship?

I think Axi's busy. Probably fighting a huge space war.

Yes. Thats right. Space war...

Tell me. Who were you fighting?

Was it a bloody battle? Was there Lots of death?

I was fighting these huge lizard things with twenty arms and five mouths each and they could spit fire and...

Alright, I was asleep the whole time

How could you sleep at a time when the Galaxy needs you? It's despicable.

Am i onboard your ship yet?

How could I sleep? Lie down, close my eyes...

And the Galaxy doesn't need me. It needs Flash Gordon.

Oh so that's how you sleep. I saw hanging upside down and sleeping so i copied them

I tried that once, but kept falling off instead of drifting

As to your question, no idea. Are you?

You said that you'd send a shuttlecraft and it never turned up.

As for teh sleeping uspide down you ahve to tie your feet to the baranch or grow long toenails that curl round whatever you hanging from. Kinda like a sloth.

You want to restart this rpg, Pingu? I honestly have no idea what's been going on in it, or where it was going. Not thst I ever did in the first place

Might be easier but what about the other people?
