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

Unfortunatly I got ME as well...

Good...

I'm sorry CV? You'll /let/ us do it next time? Is that what you said?

*passes CV a shovel, then takes it back as he realises that CV's pretty good at digging his own holes*

I hope you guys aren't taking this /too/ seriously

*digs hole, puts titanium-reinforced barriers over top and on the sides and floor* *a small intercom box is integrated into the top* Krans, you know what I meant... Please don't kill me...

*njan sticks a suspiciously cartoon-esque stick of TNT with the branding "acme" on the side in through the unprotected corner, lights it, and runs*

*stomps out the flame* *sticks his head out of the corner* I begged, didn't I? The next phase is shoot, which I really don't want to do... *protects corner* *point-defense lasers aim at Njan and Krans*

*goes into solid-light mode and stands by Krans and Njan*

Now, where did I put those data connection cables for the point-lasers...

Data connection cables? You mean like the ones over there sticking out of your backpack?

*njan takes out a small handgun and shoots CV*

*the tranquiliser dart flies through the air, impacting with a **whump**, sailing straight through the energypresenceshield which has been erected around CV's cube by the GSV Incorrect Catachresis*

Oh yeah...



*walks over to the point-lasers, with his ID card out, which identifies him as a member of the Starpilot Hotel staff and overrides the point-laser's 'attack' mode*

Right...

*takes out the cables and begins wiring them into both the lasers and a small control device*

The GSV is in orbit around the cantina, about 50LY away...
*CV is knocked out* *his Palm senses a chemical impurity in his blood, determines it's nature, and has a small box on his leg deliver the antidote* *wakes up groggily, with a bit of a * Palm, disengage point defense lasers. Eject Messers Hopeson and Pephyr from the hotel, by any means necessary...

[EVA] Command could not be completed. Computer systems are currently offline for maintainence.

[Axe] That's what you get for disabeling LS again. EVA goes into maintainence mode until it finishes integrity scanning .

Is this where we negotiate my terms for your surrender?



Joke. Where can I sign up? Although I must warn you , I'm a noble Knight and only do missions I deem worthy and just. Or if the money is good.

Wait around until Krans or Njan turn up. They should be here later today.

*The UBS Tripwire IV appears from behind a dustcloud, but hovers there for the moment*

I'll be watching...

*Axe beams up to the TW, leaving Krans and Njan to destroy Venom*

Hmm.. as we get fuller and fuller, we're becoming more strict on who we want in. .. I think after one more person, we may cease hiring for a bit.

What exactly do you have to offer us?

*wonders what else there is that we haven't got*

[EVA] Maintaince mode deactivated. CV defence systems deactivated. Mercenary personal offensive weaponry blocked in this area. Neutrality established. Please conduct your arguments in a buisnesslike manner. Thank you.

*Axe beams down*

Please, don't ask questions about that. Now, talk properly!

Alright... Krans, Njan, I apologize for usurping your positions as Team Founders...

So what happened about the pill?? Did you get in trouble Venom?

Well, ATM I'm trying to stop him from getting killed by Krans + Njan. Hopefully they'll accept his apology (^^)
