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

*A small unit of CGE rifflemen barge in carrying UV pulse lasers and saves everybodies neck*

*On roof*

*Tries to enter building from above and finds that doors are all locked down by computer override*

OK. Shame I'm not a particularly good hacker.

*Deploys EMP device to kill the computers (and incidently IDI's droids*

*Will detonate in 5 posts time ish*

*Looks around*

Gets off roof and runs back to base briefly*

*Not here*

Who's side are those CGE riflemen on?
And what does CGE stand for anyway?

No idea - I think A.A. is on the Terranian side, but I don't know for sure. Could be a 'Loose Cannon'

*The EMP device detonates*

*Isard notices the droids sag slightly and their photo-receptors dim*

*Isard mutters something about thrice damned hippies and then pulls something that looks like a magic wand from his pocket. He twists the bottom slightly and several lights come alive on the wand. he runs the wand over one of the droids and then mutters something about double thrice damned hippies and pulls what look like small mines from his pockets and places one on each droids chest*

mines (in unison): 3 seconds to de-ionizing pulse

*Isard stands in the middle of the droids once more and examines the room in front of him.*

mines: 3

mines: 2

*s in and lobs grenade at droids*

Having first remembered to pull the pin

mines: 1

Mines: activating

*there is a bright blueish pulse as the mines purge the offending magnetism from I.D. Isard's droids.*

*as soon as it started it ended and the mines dropped, smoking, from the chests of the droids*

I.D. Isard: shields up

droids: Aye sir

I.D. Isard: droid X-1, bind the uncounse in the room over there

droid X-1: Aye sir

*The droid trundles forward and begins to bind the uncouncouise [sp?]

Simupost. Do we need a steward's enquiry?

*Just in case, Euan ducks behind some boxes*

*Craxus's cell-phone crackles as Daedalus's synthesized voice crackles over the phone.*

It is not possible for me to de-activate any of the protocalls, not without taking a good couple of hours. I can deactivate power to this sector, however. Will that work?

*Craxus chucks a couple of thermal gernades at the droids. They will explode in 3 posts.*

*Remains ducked*

Still wondering what condition the droids are in - did I get them or did the shields go up first.

And after today I'll not be around until January as I can't get online. Sorry, guys

*Wakes up unconcious, with his hands bound together in another room*

Where am I?

*Wakes up FROM BEING unconcious*
