Maybe.

When will these Deimosians take the hint.

Damn rebels.

*gives Mari-rae a vt as she has been thinking a no doubt will need one after that...*

You've never been one for the quiet life anyway Kuma

Quiet is boring.

G7

OK. I counted eleven out of the APC. Anyone else been counting? Probably one sucker left inside ...

*Swaps beer for gas grenade, ambles outside and pops grenade through open rear doors of APC. Returns to the beer*

Quite !!!

My rats tell me that half the Deimosian army was on manouveres when we took over the planet, and now they have returned spoiling for a fight...

*Something runs spluttering from the APC and disappears down the street*

*Look suspiciously at the ice in her *

One half down and one to go, then.

Well, I say its their own silly fault for being on manuvers at that exact time. Besides, BFG has done some masterful recruiting, so we should be able to hold them off with one hand holding a beer!

G7

*Extends hand towards G7*
A beer? Don't mind if I do.

they wouldn't like me if i was forced to put my beer down

Beers all around!

*watches the last survivor of the APC wave a white flag.*

Should we offer him a beer?

G7

Yes, Gw7en, the new recruits are quite interesting, aren't they?

I can verify that for Linus. You don't want to be near him if he is without beer. Grumpy.

*notices that Linus' glass is half empty and gets him another one - just to be safe*



G7

*checks fridgecorder*

Supplies are dangerously low. Computer... more beer please. Cold.

*SFX: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (+various beam in lighting effects)*

There. No probs.

Throws empty bottle at lone survivor - hey, why waste bullets...

*throws a dark glance at Mari-rae*

I'm only grumpy when you spill my beer...

There will be no spilled beer here!

*goes out to investigate APC, carefully*

Hey! This is pretty nice! They have a stereo and a we bar. You'd almost think it was designed for us... Anybody know how to drive one of these?

G7

*Adroitly ducks Linus's dark glance and it hits Bluebottle square in the nose!*

That's gotta hurt!

I can vouch for that. Remember that mission to .... oh s**t, I forget where, but I remember the bar ... when that guy knocked your beer over ...

Hey! Where's my beer gone? There was some left in a bottle just here ... only put it down a moment ago ...

The seasoned drinker will never spill a drop.

Hey, Wowbagger. Irish Whiskey...preferably Bushmills, with two ice cubes. We got that in the fridge?

*Goes to front of APC, spits mouthful of beer on driver's screen, wipes paint off with arm. Sees G7 in driver's seat*

Hi G7! They're not hard to drive. See the two levers - one each side of your seat - throttles for motors on each side. Push forward equals go faster. Push one side further forward than the other equals make it turn ... push right further, it runs left OK ... oh - and there are no brakes - you just pull the throttles all the way back, then you're wiping your nose on the screen.
