[Several explosions break out all over the ship. Cut to the interior.]
[Captain] What happen??
[Mechanic] Somebody set up us the bomb.
[Cut to the Operator.]
[Operator] We get signal!
[Captain] What!
[Cut to the viewscreen]
[Operator] Main screen turn on!
[An image of CATS from Zero Wing appears on the screen]
[Captain] It's you!
[CATS] How are you gentlemen? All your base are belong to us. You are on the way to destruction.
[Cut to the Captain's reaction]
[Captain] What you say??
[CATS] You have no chance to survive make your time.
[Cut back to the viewscreen ... again.]
[CATS] Ha ha ha ha. [disappears]
[The captain sits with his hands on his chin.]
[Operator] Captain!
[The captain lowers his hands.]
[Captain] Take off every 'ZIG'.
[Various Zero-Wing starfighters appear on the screen. Cut to the interior of one of them; a pilot flips several switches.]
[Captain] You know what you doing!
[The fighters take off.]
[Captain] Move 'ZIG'.
[Cut to the captain]
[Captain] For great justice!
[The ship explodes. Pull back to reveal that all this has been on a television screen in Vinny's ship, which is going through hyperspace]
[Vinny] We gonna get there in a couple minutes. Everyone ready?

[Comm officer from Yo's ship] This is the correllian corvette Da'Kaja, we are preparing to exit hyperspace on your mark. All weapons bays are armed and ready, and all systems are functional.

Hey - the ship's washing powder's been tampered with - every uniform washed in it comes out as a red-shirt! What's with that?

Dizzy H. Muffin Posted Aug 28, 2001
[Vinny] Okay ... I want everyone to check in.

*The comm station crackles to life on the bridge of the corvette as a Modified Romulan Warbird decloaks off of the starboard bow.*
[Freya] This is Freya, aboard the Noodle Incident. Dock your corvette in our hanger and then power down for cloaking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[ooc] Anyone else watch startrek? if you don't you don't know what the spoon a warbird is, but this one has been modified by Freya's technical crew and is slightly larger than an Imperial StarDestroyer....... there are a few other spiffy additions, but yeah......

[ooc] Yup, Freya, 80 times the size of the original certainly qualifies as "modified"...

[Vinny] Howabout HappyDude?
[pause]
[Vinny] Aw, screw that. On my mark ...
[The ships come out of Hyperspace and immediately fire at the Esirpretne. The blasts don't get through the shields, but the psychological "impact" makes up for it. The enemy fleet has about two more posts before the crew of the Esirpretne recovers from the shock and things turn really nasty.]
Or maybe not.
[Who asked YOU??]
No one, but there's one thing I noticed about the strategy the Good Guys seem to use when fighting us?
[Oh, and what's that?]
Step 1: Let the enemy ship(s) -- us, in this case -- hit you two hundred times.
Step 2: Ask the Tactical officer for a damage report. Repeat step 1.
Step 3: Ask the Tactical officer for a status on shields.
Step 4: Do some fancy flying. It doesn't matter whether it's evasive or what; just make it look cool.
Step 5: Fire back ONCE.
Step 6: If the enemy has not been completely destroyed, repeat cycle from step 1.
[You know, we just wasted one of the remaining posts with that.]
D'OH!

[Starman Jones]Ya, I loved that movie, too...
[Tony](*over Jones' intercom*) He's not talking about a movie, you jackass!
[Starman Jones] Do you know what I love about you talking over radio, Tony?
[Tony](*int. com.*) No, what?
[Starman Jones]When you don't shut-up, I can just turn you off!(*turns radio off*)
[Tony](*Int. com.*)Jones, you sonofabi{click}...
[Starman Jones] He's going to kill me when I get back...Is it ok to dock yet?

Errr... Last time I saw the Esirpretne, *everyone* was in stasis apart from a couple of bad guys (well, one guy, one gal) who were in the process of destroying half the stars in the known Omniverse because they couldn't get a drink in ten-forward... Of course, that was a popular thread, so it has yet to reappear...

[Starman Jones]'Their' comeing, don't worry! Heehee!
The Red Tide Project
Dizzy H. Muffin Posted Aug 30, 2001
Okay. The Esirpretne is a starship from the Donut Federation. The whole thing is a spoof on Star Trek. That good enough?
Oh, and the Esirpretne is armed with Snowzars and Sleetzars.
