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

*The docks are a massive sprawl of concrete gangplanks, connecting to several small warships, a single, large aircraft carrier, and the ramp down to the facility of the T.A.F.S. Hootoo. There are dozens of workers running about in the warm morning air, mingling with the black-clad gaurds.*

cool

Are any ships on patrol Brigadeer?

As of right now, sir, there is the TAFS Shawn.

What exactly does TAFS stand for?

Terranic Armed Forces Ship.

what kind of ship? destroyer, cruiser? How much could it help when or if the rebels arrive?

Cruiser. A decent force of power, but in the tight confines of the base, maybe little help.

*Leans against the side of the building, watching the ship go by.*

what is the caliber of the anti-ship guns? 16 inches?

why not

Yes. Standard issue.

If the rebels ever get too close to the dock, just shoot the standard 6 bag powder load with no shell, and it will kill them up to the distance of 300 yards.

I kid you not it really does work light that. The cuncusion of the standard 6 powder bag load will kill at up to 300 yards unless protected by being behind something, like oh say, 16 inches of battleship grade steel.

*Suddenly the sky turns grey, and the water becomes very choppy. Ill fates are at hand.*

*A shallow hallow scream eminates from the cruiser. Followed by the splashing sounds of people jumping overboard.*

*The ship suddenly turns around and begins heading straight towards the docks at maximum velocity.*

*HDS turns and looks at the cruiser*

That's not good. I think I'll be leaving now, I suggest you do the same Myst.

*HDS ignites his booster and flies away from the docks.

*Skullock's omni-present malevolent laughter echoes froms the walls of buildings along the coast and hangs in the air for a moment before drifting off to sea.*

I need to tell you that you probably wouldn't have a booster pack. And if you did... well, this would happen.

*The booster sputters, and slowly HDS decends to the ground, his pack making wheezing noises. At last, he lands, the booster dying out with a humourous bronx cheer.*

Just remember that most of your gadgets won't work. Back to you. And that really did happen.

*The ship hits the docks and becomes airborne.*

*More laughter is heard*

*Euan looks across at the dock. He sees a warship take flight and a civilian trying to emulate it. The civilian fails and looks up in horror as a *very* large ship flies overhead*

Note I'm not trying to control Isard. Just trying to picture things in my head, and Myst did say the booster failed...

*Using the gas from F108649?thread=234333 post 13 as cover, Euan leaves the area beside the barracks and sets up in tree cover close to the perimeter fence by the docks*

*Starts to assemble a mortar*

*Assembled*

But that is for Terranic tech, this is Mandalorian tech, though I'll play along this time.

*Shortly after taking flight, Isard tumbles to the ground, his boster pack making rather rude noises. Fortunately Isard is now out of danger so he walks the rest of the way.*

Must need more gas

*Walks into the forrest and finds his car, opens the trunk, gasses the pack up, wipes off any spilled gas (can't have an explosion risk no can I?) and re-attatches the backpack.*

Oh and just one other thing. NO ONE dare try and take the Isard Limo, it will kill you and remain under my command, that being said, don't risk your life in steeling a limo.
