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

*Ma'rols ship lands and the entourage disembark with the dewbacks. They put the saddles on as shown by the handlers on Tatooine and climb on*

Lets get the basics sorted first then we'll move onto fighting off these

*The manuevre the dewbacks around the ship, turning them and making them trot, then a slow run*

Excellent.. there fairly easy to control once you get it sussed.. droid bring out targets

*A droid brings out several large wooden poles which he sets into the grounds. The droid then brings out vibro swords, handed between the castellans, ma'rol and od'sseus*

Follow me... and lets hope it works

*Ma'rol spurs the dewback and after some prodding it charges full pelt at the wooden target which ma'rol is able to swipe at. The castellans try it and after some practice find it equally as simple, as does od'sseus. However the dewbacks quickly tire*

Hmmm..

*Plus out a series of speed stimulants stimulants and injects two into each flank of the dewback. He again spurs the steed forward this time to great effect, and the dewback thunders forward with great power, nearly smashing into the target itself*

We'll get them some armour to stop that.. and ill intergrate a stimulant pack for battle situations.. otherwise they seem fine and cheap

*The castellans, Ma'rol and od'sseus continue to practice there dewback riding*

*A farmer watches this from a safe distance then goes back to his farm and and calls Police HQ.*

*Orders the dewbacks back onto the ship, they all clmb aboard and the ship takes off again*

*A large squad of Police arrive.*

POLICE : *by loudhailer* War games are not permitted on Arras. Cease your manoeuvres. Return to your ship and leave Arras. If you do not comply immediately, we will open fire.
