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

[Y2K arms his lightsaber]

[Y2K] Let's get 'em!

[Y3K] Uh-oh, looks like they're ready for us!

[Y4K] So what!? /We're/ ready for /them!/

[Link draws the Master Sword]

[Link] Let's get 'em!

[Nerfal] Uh-oh, looks like they're ready for us!

[Link] So what!? /We're/ ready for /them!/

~While the sword fight gets underway, the saboteurs sneak around the back of the ship and locate a service hatch near where Montressor had earlier torn a large hole in the hull of the ship (this hole is patched now, but the scar is visible because -- if memory serves -- chewing gum and yak spit and that sort of thing were used as building materials...). The nasties open the hatch and enter the ship~

Okay, now according to the intelligence reports we've gotten off of Anti-Ampton, Lenore, and Montressor, the engine room should be this way. ~the Masque points~

Right where those red shirted extras are.

~the Masque blasts the RSE's, managing to hit the first one's blaster, causing it to explode and kill all five of them at once~

Or rather, where they were.

/Red

Can we have a proper roll-call of the saboteurs, just for future reference, please?

*Not counting the clones, the Sabotuers include myself (The Masque), sea, and Darth Noire*

[Link realizes that he is overmatched, so he gets far enough away to be out of range for five seconds and swings the Master Sword. Energy builds up on the shining blade, and when the clones get close enough, Link releases it, spinning 360 degrees and sending the clones sprawling]

[Mew, why are you taking control of one of my characters?]

[Because I knew it would annoy you.]

Mew!

[Mew flies in and opens the door to the DM's room, and then goes in]

[I'll be on top of the DM's head]

[Y2K] Ugh... Strike!

[Y3K] Wait a minute! Did that actually happen??

[Y4K] Does Dylan approve of those events? (See U46995 for more details on that)

[Y2K] Yeah.

[Y3K] I'll take that as a yes.

[Y4K] Then we must be /truly/ sprawled on the ground here!

*In Mangar, the explosion of some unimportant red-shirted extras causes the ship's intruder-alert to turn on, which is however quicky turned off again by the saboteurs. The alert has drawn the attention of the rest of the RSE's to the uninvited guests, though, and they begin their useless attempt to stop the villains.*

[Someone who looks something like YK, only wearing glasses, blue jeans, and a red T-shirt walks over]

[Dylan] All right, stop this at once. I never actually SAID Link used that Whirling Blade bit. So, since IRL, I have control over all of you, take that!!

[The clones melt. Dylan disappears]

[Y2K] D'oh! I'm melting! What a world! What a world!

[Y3K] You can't DO this to me!

[Y4K] He just did!

[Link] Where does that leave me??

[Nerfal] Right there.

[Link] So let's go sabotage some saboteurs! [rushes into the mangar]

[Nerfal] Oh dear ... [enters after him]

*suddenly looks at the other saboteurs*
did you hear footsteps?
*looks at door and sees Link and Nerfal approaching*
oh dear... you guys go, i'll try to hold them off...
*draws lightsaber*

*Irving trips, falls, and lands in a pile of green goop*

Ugh! This goop has melted by Navigator's badge! This badge was made of pure Brass! Hey... wait a minute... brass, brass, melting solid brass... that seems like it should be important, or helpfull or something... Guys, would this green stuff be usefull for anything?

Well, we might have been able to use it on the dragon-head door, *IF WE HADN'T BROKEN IT ALREADY!* You just sit in the goop and read the backlog while GL and I get the DM's signature...

(NOTE: Irving IS reading the backlog. His character in this thread is just a bit -- befuddled, due to repeadted head injuries and being stranded on a desert planet and that sort of thing)

Oh, sorry, I guess I'm just a little slow. Um, anybody got a spare badge?

~Montressor swivels quickly and evens the odds by breaking Nerfal's left knee with a high speed projectile. The remaining saboteurs continue on their way to the Engine room. On ariving, they go about doing their damage~

Alright, the best place to conceal Montressor is in that service tunnel, there.

~Red points at the ceiling~

So what we really want to do is sabotage this here

~He points at a complex engine component directly underneath the service tunnel that comes out of the ceiling~

It looks like a... a power transmogrifier for the thrust reflux diaphram. If we damage it correctly, they won't be able to take off because the thrust ocilation ratio will be negative. They'll come in to do the repairs (most likely unarmed), and then Monty will jump down on top of them! So the hard part is, figguring out what, exactly, to do to this transmogrifier...

[Y4K] Heh. Let's use it to turn Link and Nerfal into hamsters.

[Y3K] Not THAT type of transmogrifier, dumbass!

[Y2K] That wasn't very Vulcan of you, Y3K.

[Y3K] I'm not a Vulcan!

[Y4K] Well duh. Hey, what does this button do?

[He presses a button. A screen right next to it lights up with the message, "Please do not press this button again."]

[Y2K] Good, that's all it does.

[Link releases a faery from a bottle. The faery lands on Nerfals left knee and heals it, disappearing.]

[Nerfal] Good, that's got us ready and good!

[Link] No, you wait here.

[Link straps the Mirror Shield to his left arm and the Hylian Shield to his right arm. In both hands he holds the Master Sword.]

[Link] Yo!

[He uses the Hylian Sheild to deflect another of Montressor's high-speed projectiles and the Mirror Shield to deflect a blaster bolt]
