The Space Opera Working Thread

Slayer - our last two posts were posted at PRECISELY the same time. what are the odds?

The Tommy gun - don't you know it ain't NICE to make a fine young Marine, whose only crime is to get involved in a mutiny, fill the seat of his armored warsuit like that? Those things are hard enough to get out of as is!

ROFL!!!!!!!

I'd hardly say I'm a stone cold killer, but I do place the needs of the many HIGHLY above the needs of the few. . . . or the one (there's a quote for you ....

Luder feels justified in everything that has transpired except for maybe the unwarranted deaths of sedated prisoners. But...

Those are just rumors.... right?

There's no proof those agents were ever on board. Kind of hard to kill someone who "isn't" there and in true NI fashion - as Seeker would say - their leaders will more than likely disavow ANY knowledge of them ever having been there.

Espionage is a gentleman's game, ladies and gents - cloak and dagger has its ups but as soon as things get ugly - better know how to take care of yourself.

Cheers!

I almost choked on some gatorade when I read that.

LOL

"damn that was the wrong gravity plate to stand on...."


ROFL!!!!!

OK I killed off all the guards guarding Studious and did not even fire a shot all well within the story line.

Edit to add it still works. Studious did you edit your post a bit?
It seems different now?


[edit on 1-7-2009 by SLAYER69]

Yes I did.

Sorry about that

My plan is to hyperspace away from the other ships before we blow them up....or they blow us to kingdom come.

Your post does not need to be changed and does still work because I'm in the sickbay area (That's where Neno ordered the stretcher to be taken.) So a hit in the brig area shouldn't affect me.

I only added the "I don't want a firefight" and "We need to hyperspace away" stuff.

I didn't want Neno to come in guns blazing.

That reminds of the Shadow of Impending Doom




An edit is unnecessary, but you can if you want to.

I tell ya...

Like a fine wine, this opera just gets better and better as it goes.

Oh no! If Studious tries to hyperdrive the ship now, we're all gonna die!

If we can't get power back to the magrails, we're all gonna die!

Neno could have an "episode" and start chucking grenades everywhere, and we're all gonna die!

Security might go to WAR with the Rogue Marines! And we're all gonna die!

Nail-bitin', seat edge sittin' suspense!

Did I mention we all might DIE?

Stop it you're killing me here...

Love what you all are doin!

Shhhh....

I think I just heard a luder

Man somebody blow something up already!

Cim panics and runs toward the sound
all the while shouting. “Silo, Silo, Silo!", Cim is frantic and gets to close to the river bank, the sides cave and she falls into the river and is taken downstream by the powerful current.

Cim pops up and begins to do the backstroke downstream singing "Rubber ducky, you're the one....."



Allrightythen.
I'm back. Sorry no post last night. I got called out last night to crawl around in the bowels of an ancient drillship and no sleep or Space Opera for Badger. I've got loads of paperwork to do and it will take me a few hours of scrubbing to get all of the grease, dirt, mud, hydraulic fluid, oil, solvents, and beef vindaloo sauce off of me. (I'm working on an Indian Ship.) I'm also nursing a burned hand from a pretty serious shock as well as stitches and a goose egg from hitting a bulkhead at high speed. Think of my job as a cross between slayers character in the space opera and an episode of "Dirty Jobs -best of the worst". Then try to write a fast moving fiction collaboration while suffering from extended sleep deprivation and a critical case of the woozies.

You get the drift.

I'm going to try to get a post done tonight / today which is tomorrow for most of you so I'll try to finish it yesterday and then we'll all be on the same page in the funny papers.

Have a good holiday.
