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

About 40% of the debris strikes the bubble, much of it ricochetting harmlessly off, but others hitting more directly and creating nasty fissures in the hull. The eraser bounces off the monitor screen, distracting Inky long enough from piloting for the Bubble to steer dangerously into the path of a great hulking spaceship...

Inky sets the droid off to patch up the fissures.

[On the bridge of the Bug, YC and YQ enter]

[YQ] Link, I -- hey!

[Elbert] Hi.

[YQ] Mind if we take over? The quad lasers are getting boring with no one paying attention to us.

[Elbert] Sure.

[He and the red-shirted extra leave, and YQ and YC sit in the pilot's and copilot's chairs, respectively.]

[As if to ease the tension, about two dozen of the Chiss ships choose precisely that minute to fly into the field of battle, guns blazing. Seeing a distinct lack of any Good Guy Spaceships, twelve of them return to standby, as the remaining twelve attack what Good Guy spaceships there are.]

[Thankful he wasn't visible at that particular moment!]

[YC] ACK!

[The Bug does some wild evasive maneuvers to avoid fire from two of the Chiss ships.]

[Elbert] [filtered voice-over] Um, you were saying ...?

[YQ] [into intercom] Shut up!

[YC] ACK!

[The Bug does some wild evasive maneuvers to avoid fire from two of the Chiss ships.]

[Elbert] [filtered voice-over] Um, you were saying ...?

[YQ] [into intercom] Shut up!

*Meanwhile, somewhere in the Universe, a helicopter exists*

What's is a reference TO?

sorry I have been gone for quite a while...a ton of school related stuff..finals and AP tests are coming and I haven't been able to update, so I am going to pull the Persain Queen out of the battle due to the fact that I may not be able to update every couple days
*The Persian Queen turns and hypers out*

Darn it, there goes my favorite target!



It's a reference to an episode of MST3K. Mike and the Bots were watching "Giant Spider Invasion." There were scenes later in the movie that involved a helicopter carrying emergency "stuff" to help fight off the spiders, but there was never actually any explanation as to what it was (other than the fact that it managed to kill the last spider). Anyway, the line comes from a scene where they jump from what's happening to the helicopter, and back. Nothing else. No music, no dialogue, no monologue, just a helicopter on what is supposed to resemble a night-time sky. Hence the phrase "And somewhere in the world, a helicopter exists."

I see, I see ... Where exactly is everybody standing and what is everybody doing at this very moment?

Good call!

I'm trying to maintain position undetected while my droid finishes patching up pencil damage to the hull.
I seem to be within fleeing range of a smallish planet.

OOC:I'm decending (int the vette) into the formally raging battle the blastboat and other fighter are somewhere, not shooting or getting shot at...

I'm just observing, now, since the Mangar and Esirpretne are gone.

[Twelve of the Chiss Ships are fighting the Good Guys]

Oh, dear, this battle has fallen asleep...

[The Bug and Mogship fly out.]

[There is an explosion on the side of the OmegaMatic. It's position corresponds exactly with that of the Regulation Control Center.]

[Also, the Chiss begin to play a game of electronic halma.]

*Mac,super-guy extra ordinare warps in in his ship the "Starslicer"*
[into radio] I'm here!Wheres the space battle?Just point 'em out!I'll clobber 'em!...anyone?

[First Chiss Ship] They've all left.
