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

Heh. *polishes badge some more* Have you met LeRue yet? He's the commanding officer of SG-3, if you have any questions, it would be better to ask him before you bring it to the Colnel, she's a busy woman. You just enlisted?

thanks for the advice
*removing comedy snow goggles*
yeah just got in this week. how long you been here?

About a year, why?

<*Ahem* LeRue is CO of SG-6, Bubba is the CO here>

*Miss Banding comes strolling in, causing several half naked Marines to dive into their lockers*

Where can I find Major Fretts?

*one of the less bashfull marines comes up to her*

We can tell him the colonels looking for him. Didn't we go to school together? You sure do look awfully familiar.

*Miss Banding scowls*

I don't think so sonny

*Leaves*

*the soldiers laugh and some money exchanges hands*

<<>>

*packs up all his gear and heads over to the hanger*

*Major Fretts enters the room*

All of you get ready. Full combat effectiveness. Be down in the main hanger within the hour.

*Fretts gathers his equipment and leaves*

*enters, gathers his equipment, checks the ammo for his guns and leaves"

*A bumping can be heard coming from the vents.*

OK- two lefts, a right, and three fans down the passageway. This should be it!</>

*A couple of loud clangs come from the vent in the celing of the mens shower. The vent cover breaks loose, and Scandrea drops into the room.*

Oh... Uhm... sorry.

*The poor soldier showering does his best to cover himself as Scandrea dashes into the main room.*

You all know who I am. This is a very strange situation, and I beg you not to ask questions just yet. I need a haircut, and a marine's uniform, and I need them now!

*Nuge, an SG3 commando <<>> wakes up in his bunk*

[Nuge:"Well, I have time off, so I guess you can borrow mine" *opens locker and gestures towards his uniform*]

Nuge, good to see you. The base has gone to pot under this guy.

*Grabs the uniform and goes to a discreet place to change.*

It's a little big on me, but it'll work. Now. Do you know the situation?

[Nuge: "I heard some rumours about Colonel Reefgirl being locked up or sumthin', but I don't know the details. What's up?" *sits up in bunk*]

Col. Scott has taken over the base under dubious circumstances. Col. Reef is in the brig. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I have the feeling that he's thickheaded enough not to notice me if I'm just an enlisted grunt, and most of the men on this base are smart enough not to say anything.
