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

*glances at the major and wonders slightly about the wisdom of this and then goes to find a suit...removes white coat revealing...some nice clothing that I can't remember just now ...dons suit and adjusts a few straps to make the most of her curves and steps out*

Do I look fat in this?

*glances up from pre-flight checklist*

looks like it fits just fine

*walks over to the wall lockers and removes his helmet then tosses one to Kat*

looks like she's ready to go. Just climb into the rear cockpit up this ladder *indicates* and I'll make sure you're strapped in

< that's quite worrying!>

*climbs up the ladder, steps elegantly in, and flips straps round*
you going to come and strap me in major?

< I know>

*climbs up the ladder*

Looks pretty good *secures straps into the buckles and tightens*

alright, I have to climb in and do the runup, try to relax

*climbs down and then up to his seat and straps in then motions the crew to take the ladders*

ok I'm closing the cockpit now

*secures the cockpit and begins the runup sequence*

*taps the Major urgently on the shoulder*

My bleeper's gone. I'm SO sorry but I'm on call and we have a very very sick Jaffa in the ward. I'm going to have to head back, I really want to do this some time though.

*leans over the major to release the cockpit, gestures for ladders whilst unclipping straps and climbs down the ladder as quickly as possible*

Why why do these things happen when I'm having fun!?

*runs to get changed and rushes out of the hangar struggling into coat and calling over my shoulder*

It was nice spending time with you major, I'll get back to you about the flight I promise.

*surprised look*

uh, ok, later

*reseals the cockpit*

it'd be a damn shame now that she's ready to go

*depresses the transmit button*

Cheyenne Mountain control this is Foxtrot three zero niner taxing for immediate departure

*follows the sequence and takes off for a quick flight*

*after landing and taking care of the shut down sequence heads to the mess for a bite*

*enters, goes to his office and sits down to catch up on paperwork*

*comes running in crying*

She..she...put me on probation and filed a complaint and and and

*bleeper goes off, Kat howls and runs off to the medical bay, trailing tissues*

*stares in stunned silence*

and people wonder why I talk to my planes...

~~I hope she's ok~~

*Limps into the Hanger*

Hellllllllllloooooooo anyone home

*comes walking out with his head down, looks up and snaps to attention*

Welcome to the hanger ma'am what can I do for you.

Easy Major you strain something, I'm here to see how things are going, how you're settling in and because I'm grounded because of this leg and I'm bored

So, how are things here, anything you need

*smiles*

Well ma'am, I could use a reason to fly the X-309 more often but other than that things are working like clockwork. The crew you've got here is top notch. If you're interested I can show you around.

Well you may get your wish, we severely ed off Bastet so she may pay us a visit and I'd like a tour, thank you

*smiles*

That's affirmative ma'am, tell Bastet to come on over and we'll show it how we take care of business

*points to the UAV's*

I'm sure you've seen plenty of these before so if you'd like to follow me to the next hanger I'll show my pride and joy
