Last left inside of the "ectica planna steak"
Andy leaves the ship to go exploring on his own.
harold and Cr remain on the ship. -
Andy finds a silver marble, and when he picks it up, a bunch of others bunch together and form into an "andy" form - color, everything.
Andy trys to mentally communicate with them (his helmet -mental amplifier causes a lot of confusion as if attacking them) Andy tries to get them to form a sphere around them - blasting them around...
Fred finds an arm sticking out (with three fingers) of a pile of stuff - checks into ship.
Zat rushes past Randy with a stream of wires "Thank you Billy" he says to ZAT
ZAT: You're welcome. Shit.
Fred pulls the arm . It's hollow. Fred reports in. puts arm inside of the brass arm. pushes left button. Nothing. Pushes left button again. Nothing Pushes right button and spikes pierce his arm. Paralizing and causing a lot of pain. Fred calls for help.
F: You could send out ZAT.
CR: Call him Billy.
ZAT: Shit.
CR holds the tractor beam over him as Fred passes out.
Har communicates to Andy: Andy?
A: yes?
HAr: what's your situation?
A: I'm in the middle of a sphere right now.
Har: Need any help? any spikes peircing your body?
A: I don't need any help right now.
Randy picks up on a bunch of droids in the "room" . he marks their position.
Andy mentally communicates (blasts) the spheres. The helmet causes them to explode apart and gets a broken arm. Then he takes his helmet off and tries to get them to move, and they move gracefully... and then fall apart. He grabs the one marble aND zips to the Tulkurn. ... but before Andy comes in, ZAT says SHIT and the white liquid falls all over the place that was holding Zat together.
One of Randy's monitors scrambles.
R: Zat, this is the Captain, can you rush to the cargo hold and help Fred?
ZAT: Fine. Be there.. *big bite out of him*.
Andy looks for a piece of spacesuit.
CR to F: Got any feeling in that arm?
F feels numb, but whole arm still moves.
R: left button probably makes it go off.
ZAT: it appears airtite. from my scans. which are screwed up.
Har: do you know if it's peirced or if it just felt like it?
the arm does seem to make it better - a purple-metal equivalent bionic arm suppliment.
ZAT calls a group meeting.
ZAT: You might know this - there's a problem with me being named recently.
A: What's wrong, Billy?
Zat: Now I belong to him (randy)
H: billy, make sure you speak so your master can understand him.
Zat almost kills harold. Almost kills Randy.
Zat: Group meeting over.
R: have that body looked at.
Zat: you don't have anything to work on Zats.
Zat gives us something to look at. We grok it.
Har: Billy, you rock.
lots of comments about zat.
Zat reports that the little droids outside the ship are UT units.
Zat tapes Fred's mouth shut. Over his spacesuit.
F: Zat is fucked up.
A looks for replacement helmet, but we're out. Harold knows that theres these sticks that can repair spacesuit gashes, dings and rips. A repairs his helmet (with spacesuit gack)
Har and Andy go out in CHARLIE to get the UT units.
CHARLIE: hmm hmm. ho hum... Oh hi guys! *applies gravity*
Har: Always a pleasure, Charlie!
CHARLIE: Always a pleasure for me too! So, what're we doing?
Har: Retrieval.
CH: retreival. woopie. I'm too small for storage space.
Andy spots a diamond mine and notes it quietly to himself without telling anyone. Fred follows Zat around.
2 rocket packs, 4 sets of place-em boosts. set of huge Dungeon Keys that give of tones. Fred has a Boem thing. 35 UT units. {4 matching cleaning, 20 engineering - all different, one for Garguwakian cooking, } section of gases and liquids in containers. {fifty thousand gallons of fuel for the Tulkurn}, replicator that makes nuts and bolts {Zat working on it}. LOTS and lots of crap. Bars with intricate designs. Bird cage stuff. Randy still has a scroll that he hasn't read already. The tables of the bridge are just boxes of crap. Old pizza and beer lying around....
CR appoints fred Vice-Captain and goes to read his scroll.
Harold finds a scroll case with a scroll with a hologram inside. withh a creature with a featherless ostrich: Billy translates: Hi I'm some quack from some planet talking about some quest somewhere blah blah and somewhere this crown has been broken up and sold it everywhere.
H: Wow I feel compelled to do this after such a compelling speach.
suddenly ship starts ship lurches all over the place.
H: Charlie?
CH: I'm sorry I'm sorry. I just found the ships components that would help me interface with the computer.
HAR: could you inform us next time pl-
CH: yeah, I know...
H: so did you find something interesting?
CH: Yes I did, in fact.
H: so?
CH: so.
found a huge thing of foam that might make good bed material.
huge cylinder with divisions that might make good bed areas for the four of us.
H: Sounds good to me.
A: We could get Billy to do this.
BILLY: *laughs and leaves after installing bridge urinal*
CR still reading scroll...
Andy takes the Tulkurn out of junk room and into Hold with "serious looking machinery".
CR via incoom: Fred come here.
CR reads scroll that allows each other to know what's going on. Knows what's going on with Fred, Andy, Harold ,Randy and Armegas/baduku.
CR: I've done this everyone. Soon, I'll be the most powerful jedi.
BILLY: YES! *BLASTS OUT OF SHIP*
F: Harold?
H: Tracking.... *chasing with ship*
A: going towards the chairs in the "serious looking machinery".
Billy/Zat has found two deactivated Zat units and scavenges them for parts.
Randy returns to the bridge.
H: Billy, you need any help?
CR: we've got a nut and bolt maker.
BILLY: this Zat unit has acomplete body but no personality unit.
H: You're certain this is safe?
BILLY: Safe enough and this other one is just a shell and I'm going to bring it on board as a backup shell.
Andy sits on the chair and suddenly sees that he's in space, but if he gets off the seat, he's back on the platform-thing. Lotta stars though. Andy fiddles with the buttons on the chair and explosions happen, stars move.. hAROLD tries to help andy from his console. Discussion on what it's about.
a starhog kinda thing appears underneath him.
CR: Billy (my little angel) what are the robotic laws governing you?
BILLY: Be right there.
Harold scans around to see if he can find the storage bays nearby. Harold picks up on this area that's very volcanic.
CR downs the potion he has. "Bring out the plate!" *nasty taste* "ugh" He starts to shrink. about a foot and a half tall.
UT unit "chatterbox" identifies things.
Billy: There's an energy drain from a Defender Droid.
CR: Anyone know how much I should be afraid?
F: It's not a seker unit, so I'm not scared.
CR: I think we should get out of this Ectica Planna Steak slice
In the trainer, there's all this stuff that it lets him train in: BIO suit, star hog, fighter, and front end of scout. Billy knows where it really is.
Har: I think we should look for the crown.
Andy activates the trainer unit and is transported to the "biosuit" and is OUTSIDE
Fred jumps into a starhog. ... through a sleeper suit. ... gets off starhog and goes back and same with Andy. All go back into the ship.
moo!!!!!! I'm not sure why I typed this. --Fred
The creature on the hologram of the scroll about the crown thing is called an Oxti. Apparently they were super-technological and paranoid too. And they hid their whole solarsystem . The control device for hiding the solar system was dismantled and spread apart. the pieces are hidden around where we are. Billy suspects that we're being setup.
We name the ship "BANDIT". Fred paints the outside of the ship. Randy returns to normal size. Harold calculates path out of the Ectica Planna Steak... successfully.
Suddenly the Defender droid gets REALLY close! CHarlie blows up a bunch of huge fuel tanks as it's chasing us. Fred pokes his head outside the ship and shoots the Boaem at the defender. the defender grabs him and fucks him up seriously. Andy jumps into a B3 suit and goes and gets Fred and chases the Bandit outside of the E.P. Steak. Andy fires the "Chest blaster" and grips the defender into a bearhung while firing it.
Harold runs down with the crystal healing plate and has fred grab it. The brass arm flies off. Andy disembowels the Defender unit and has Billy help disable it. Then he mounts it on the front of the ship with it's planet blaster chest plate.
S.O.B. comes by and takes the last bit of the E.P. Steak.
Andy plays with the B3 suit some more. Zat grabs the rest of the droid for spare parts.
Fred continues painting "BANDIT" on the outside of the ship.
Randy tries to see through BADUKU's eyes. He's right behind Randy. and he gets kinda skittish. And then he sees this totally different place: mountains that are really sheer - miles high. Every once in a while there's these catwalks in between the huge sheers, and there's the buildings that are just clamped onto the sides of the building. And then back onto the ship again. Dark part with weird computers on the ship. Billy guides Randy to this spot.
It's the engine room! And baduku's home. Randy finds this really intricate symbol that's got part of the symbol and pivots. Randy flips part of it and completes the dragonne symbol. The circle of light kinda expands and the rest of us panic a bit.
(oh yeah, I lost the boaem -f)
Fred tries to bring chatterbox down stairs and it gets really scary and he reactivates the brass arm. Andy comes running down stairs in the B3 suit. Billy says "the glyph is going to pull us into another world". Then there's a shadow... oh about twelve of them and one grabs for Randy - suddenly R is back up on the bridge.
Fred faints and wakes up with one helping fred up... andy comes running down and sees a dragonne grabbing fred and andy BLASTS him! and fred runs behind the other draggone.
The B3 suit and Dragonne fight with each other until Paradox walks into the room and hollers out "Woah woah! Stop this!"...
F: HeeeEEyy!
Paradox: Hey!
A: goes and gets the Helmet.
Paradox: Why did you just open up into my ship?
Har: WHO are you? How did you get onto my ship?
Paradox gives har a look: "OK, try and keep this door closed, will ya? C'mon guys there's more food on the ship"
The Dragonnne that was fighting Andy is still there and is hungry -
Randy gets him to drink the shrink potion and he shrinks down to human size.
Fred and Andy flex their muscles as if they're suddenly a threat.
Baduku is in this dragonne body and says "food would be a good thing for me."
F:There's pizza on the bridge
all: yeah yeah food on the bridge.
Baduku slips through a tube that takes him up to the bridge.
UT units repair the damaged engine room.
H: Charlie, would you regain control of the ship. With Captain's permission, we'd like to check out this world.
CR: Plot course.
Everyone goes up to the bridge.
CR: THis is the ships capatin, everyone to their stations please... uh, except for baduku who you can just eat the pizzas if you want.
Suddenly the Bandit is on another planet with a pink atmosphere, but ddrinkables and tons of stuff to eat-ish.
Why did that glyph bring the dragonne onto the ship?
Bandit goes down low and Randy opens the bay doors "baduku go feed"
