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

*pulls out her pistol and shoots at the cable*

LSUIT, send an invoice for that cable to SM's Starpilot Invoice account please.

*continues malfunctioning...starts to have flashbacks to his life as Apollo*


*starts barking*

*hurredly fishes in his satchel for another connection cable*

*dives between Apollo and Robert, and looks menacing with her lightsabre*

Believe me, you don't want to upset your bouncer

[24] Must... get... cable...
[Apollo]...have to... get ... free...

*pats Apollo24 on the head and hopes he hurries up with sorting his head out, as she kinda needs help*

*stares at Robert, daring him to try anything*

Come on 24! You can do it! I've got fun ideas if you can get your golden behind back to the main borg thread

It would be nice to rejoin that

*the thought of the queen slips into 24's head, and with a difficult effort, he manages to launch himself back through the door.......

into the cupboard*

*is still rummaging in his bag*

*drops the bag, withdraws his hands and throws the flashbang in one of them at Sgt Mushroom, while simultainously covering his ears and eyes. Seconds later, Axe picks up the satchel and opens his tricorder*

(hailing frequency) Tripwire, Axe. Instant transport to original drop-pod thread.

*disappears*

*wonders what a flashbang is, but dives out of the way, into her cupboard*

A flashbang is a military grenade-esque thing that releases a hell of a lot of light and noise: confusing everyone around (unless they happen to be covering their eyes + ears up). V. useful in exfil missions.

*his goggles automatically dim the flashbang, and his headphones are so loud he doesn't notice the bang part...* *he turns the microwave on high and draws his plasma rifle in case Axe decides to assist*
SM, when this is over, you may want to join the Anti-Borg movement... And I'm re-enlisting as a cat. The mercs were trying to investigate me... and njan's a borg.

*a small organic probe in the corner of the room is using its telekenisis powers to beam this conv. to Axe and Njan*

Thanks... we like to keep tabs .

*jumps into cupboard with rifle drawn*

*the probe prints out a message and pins it on the wall*

The H2G2 Mercenaries would like to remind the members of this room that CV has retired from this orginisation. Thanks. This message will not repeat.
