Blue is sitting infront of a computer in the middle of a strange room. The room has no windows or doors, apart from a spiral staircase in the floor, and a big large window, showing lots of stars.
"Captain!" A voice says beside her.
As she looks to her left, she sees a strange mudokon shaped insect person, looking much like the alien who visited Pyke last year, sitting at another computer console.
"The Goliath is closing in on us, Captain! She arming her torpedos!" Says the strange alien.
She can now see a huge vykker pod through the big window, comming straight towards the room. It shoots at the room, making it shake voilently, before swerving off out of view. Alarms go off and red lights start flashing.
"They shot at us!" Says another strange alien sitting at a computer console to the right of Blue. This alien is much like the one sitting to the left of her, expect that he is a very dark grey in colour, with red markings.
"A brilliant observation, Max!" Says the yellow and black alien sitting to her left.
"Don't just sit there, Captain! Do something!" He glances briefly at the screen on his console, and then back up to Blue.
"ARGH!! She's comming round again!!"
"Give me a damage report!" Blue hears herself saying.
"All weapon systems out! All sheild systems out!" A synthetic voice says behind her.
As she swivels her chair around to see who is talking to her, she sees that a blue cyborg is sitting at the large console behind her. Another mudokon shaped creature is sitting next to the cyborg, but this one is less insect like, is flesh coloured, and has red hair. Blue notices that she is a female.
"I'd basicly say we're sitting ducks, Captain!" Says the cyborg.
"What do you suggest we do, Ma'am?" Says the yellow and black alien. She swivels her chair around to face him.
Blue looks back up to the window, and sees that it is now filled by a large purple ball, surrounded by 'belt' of floating rocks.
"Evasive actoin! Hide!" She hears herself say.
"But ma'am! That'd take us into the asteroid belt! It'd be suicide!" Says the alien called Max.
"Alright! We'll risk certain death in the asteroid belt! Hurry!"
"Yes Ma'am!" Says the yellow and black alien.
The asteroid belt appears to come larger as they all go towards it.
"Why is it taking us so long?" Blue asks the cyborg behind her.
"Our warp drive is losing power!" It says.
Loud bangs are heard suddenly from behind her. The power goes out and everything bursts into flames. Blue closes her eyes tightly, as the room shakes from side to side.
"Help me! For the love of the world, help me! Someone! You can't let me bleed to death! Please... please..."
She hears a voice say from just outside the room, so it seems.
"Blue!!" Another voice says from within the room. However, this one sounds familier. "Blue! Wake up!"
-----------------------------------------
"Blue!"
Olm is shaking Blue from side to side. She opens her eyes to see that the lamp in the shack has been lit, and it is still dark outside.
"Mmmm? What?" She mumbles.
"Theres someone outside!" Olm says.
"Ugh. . ." Blue climbs out of her sleeping bag, and covers herself with a large towel, which she ties round herself. She picks up her shorts which are on the floor, reaches into thier pocket, and pulls out her staff.
"Stay here." She tells Olm before heading outside.
Looking around the outside of the shack, she finds a pale mudokon with a purple mowhawk knealing on the ground. He is clutching a rather serious gash in his arm, and looks to be bleeding to death rather quickley. Sencing that he wouldn't last much longer, she thinks to herself that she must to something immediately, and puts her spear down.
"Sorry about this. . ." She says.
Abandoning her modesty and ignoring the shocked look the mudokon gives her, she takes off her towel, rolls it up, and ties it tightly around his arm just above the gash to stop the blood flow.
After she does so, she picks him up and carries him into the shack.
"Olm, you need to help this guy! He's dying!"
She lies him down on a table near the side of the wall, as Olm takes out a medi kit from a draw below Spider's trolley, and rushes over with his medical kit to help him. Blue quickley goes outside to retrieve her staff.
"Jeeze. . . This is a nasty wound." Mutters Olm.
"Yeah." Blue says as she comes back in. She goes over to where she was sleeping and grabs a pillow, and then she take it over to Olm and the mudokon, lifts his head up and shoves the pillow underneath it.
(OOC: Whew! Longest post I've ever done! Expect the dream bit wasn't really nessesary, but oh well. . .)
