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

*BBW grins as he sees on his monitors a lone ship jump out of hyperspace. The computers instantly identify it as belonging to Yowazupman. BBW opens a passage for the inevitable beaming aboard. A few seconds later a transference beam sends Yo into the Grav. Dump and the ship disappears. BBW closes the access.*

... Thanks BBW, you're right ontop of things as usual

I trust everything is goin well, Werewolf?

Just fine, KL. No sign of any hostile forces. Yet.

Splendid, Werewolf, just splendid! Just remember: destroy absolutely anything that comes too close, and isn't one of our ships.

Will do!


*The scanners pick up a small asteroid passing nearby. It's about twice the size of the largest space ship. BBW grins and punches a few keys on his keyboard. A screen shows the astroid with red cross-hairs overlayed. As the cross-hairs centre on the asteroid, they turn red and BBW pushes a button. A blue energy beam flashes out from the OmegaMatic and vapourizes the asteroid. BBW grins wolfishly. *

*Green, they turned green when centred on the target.*

*GL opens a portal for Darth Noir to enter the Omegamatic. He quickly shuts it down once she is inside.*

And by 'GL', you of course mean 'BBW'.

[ooc] do we have any star fighters?

GRRRRRR. Of course I meant BBW! Sometimes old habits come back.

Yo - we don't have any starfighters as part of this complex, other than the personal ships of the STUMPED members. We do, however have some formidable exterior weapons on the OmegaMatic itself, including tatalus rays, slicers and dicers, along with more conventional weapons. Here, watch this.

*BBW quickly targets another asteroid from the nearby asteroid field and pushes a button. The blue beam finds its target and vapourises it. BBW grins proudly at Yo.*

excellent, be on your toes, my intel network says the attack is emminent...

*The Persian Queen exits hyperspace. Xerces sends a message through his transmitter in the Galley.*

[Xerces] Sorry but I couldn't help listining in on Yo's transmition...it gets rather boring slicing and diceing all day long. If the we dont attack soon or the CHOPPERS dont notice us soon I'm either going to go crazy with bordom or get really fat. So in hearing your conversation about the lack of space defense I called my General Dienikes and had him send my ship to your service. The Persian Queen is generally my transport ship but has a formidable weapons system which I thought might be useful in the outer defense of the OmegaMatic. If you would like further info on the Persian Queen herself contact Dienikes directly on the ship. If I can provide any other services (deliever weapons, etc) please let me know. *Transmition ends*

if the ablity to destroy an asteroid outright is lack of defenses, I'd like to see you idea of "formitable defenses"

*Xerces Transmits to BBW*
Excuse me, for I miss spoke. May I say your lack of manuverable defense? I do not wish to insult the defenses you have set up I would meerly like to suppliment them...for it cannot hurt to have more defense. However if you do not see the suppliment as needed or feel that I have insulted your ability to defend then I would be happy to pull out or give you full control over the Queen for this battle. *Transmition ends*

Please activate your STUMPED id beakons so that our auto-targetting will not seek you. In the heat of a battle I may not be able to double check the targeting computers.
Over.


*BBW decides to do a long-range scan, but sees nothing out of the ordinary - just some stray asteroids on the far side of the nearby planet.*
