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

Hmm...

*Wanders across to Craxus at F108649?thread=234333 *

*Comes back and re-assembles mortar*

*Fires a succession of shells at solar plant*

*Out of ammunition, Euan returns to base*

*Returns with a bit more ammo for his sniper rifle - oh, and 4 RPG launchers*

*Looks down at Docks, where there seems to be some heavy fighting going on*

*Realises Isard is standing outside of his car, and aims for his knees in an attempt to incapacitate*

*Fires RPG at the Cain*

*Hears Bob shout*

*Realising that Bob has no idea whose side he's on (that is, not Bob's), Euan decides to take a few pot-shots at Bob too*

[Eckardt comes up behind him.]

[Eckardt] Don't move. I've got a nice little blaster here, so if you put your hands up, we can make this whole situation a lot easier for me.

*A shadowy, previosly unnoticed man in a Sombrero and a cloak places an M-4 against the back of Eckardts head*

[Hilbryk]Or you could put the blaster down and explain what is going on, eh?

*A blur detatches itself from the wall and stealthily approaches Hilbryk. Coming up behind Hilbryk a gold-plated desert eagle appears from within the blur and is placed against Hilbryk's head. Another is pointed at Euan. Suddenly the blur resolves and he is visible as normal.*

Aah, a mexican standoff. However, I think it best for all concerned if you drop your guns. You cannot win in this situation.

[Eckardt] [shrugs] Just as well, since I didn't really have a blaster!

[Hilbryk]*confused* Ok then now our biggest problem is Bob with a gun that can go through all three of our heads, what did you have anyway?

[Eckardt] It's called a bluff, so I could get HIS gun. Too bad your buddy here called it, huh?

[Hilbryk]*Still confused* so who's side are you on ours or bob's here?

[Eckardt] Not sure ... but we're against the Anarchists and we aren't part of the Terranics ...

[Hilbryk] Oh, well then sory about the misunderstanding then, bit confused there, runs in the family I am afraid...
*Unnoticably Hilbryk move his finger to the trigger of the M203(loaded with a stun grenade) quickcly kicks backwards hitting Bob square in the stomach sending him flying into the wall, turns and fires the grenade which explodes in a cloud of pinkish gas a foot over him(bob)
[Hilbryk][to Eckardt]So I geuss your a hero then, eh?
[to Bob] *Moving his hand back to the M-4 trigger* All righty them Bob, whae is terran and or Deadalus and what are you doin here?

It'll only go through three heads if they are all in a line


*The neurally linked radar had failed to warn him of the kick, but the M203 with stun grenade showed up like a small sun in his field of vision. As he flies backwards Bob pushes his collar stud and once more resolves into a blur. Ducking to one side, he rolls to avoid the stun grenade, and then realises that his implanted nasal filters will process the toxin, as long as he doesnt inhale through his mouth.*

You fools, we're all heroes here apart from Euan, you idiot, Eckhardt, didnt Yar tell you about me?

*The blur sprints back to Euan,rolls and comes up with twin butterfly knives crossed right against his throat. The blur resolves back into Bob*

Right, dont move. I've got this sorted. Why dont you two go an help Yar eh?

God, when you're own side try to fight you...

I mean it this time, anyone moves and

I hate time zones!

Are you facing me or behind me?

Behind you mate, with knives held against your throat very closely.
