Go boldly Captain Hood and company! You're too much fun. Nope. You're just the right amount of fun!
"No Coffee, no flyee across the universee!"
You've got us pegged BC!
Thanks!
Have fun with the family Shep.
They always come first.
Has the knucklehead got his cast off yet?
Take care!
Yep.
Knuckleheads heal faster than we do.
:)
L8rs
lightning to the East of me,
lightning to the North of me,
power going out, then on, then out,
have been trying to get this on here
for some time. Dinner in 15 mikes,
Bible study group 7 to 9 PM,
busy puppy, will attack on Wed.
I think Goofy did something to
my keyboard. The scamp. :)
Take care my friend.
Although, so far, most to the bad stuff appears to we to your west and south, does not seem to be a good night to be out and about in Macon.
Take good care all!
God Bless!
I just realized that I haven't posted a song yet today.
So, in honor of Lord Pottery's discovery:
Why, Thank you Capt.
Yes, there is much to tell.
But due to Circumstances beyond the control of something or other, The Tale will have to wait.
Suffice it to say, that "you-know-who" was certainly not who I expected, or indeed hoped for.
The Dock was a Good Place for "You-Know-Who" to choose, and I suppose that choice led me to believe things would be rather, shall we say, Intimate. With the Bubbly and whatnot.
My imagination took it from there, I must admit.
Turns out that YKW was actually an 8 legged visitor from another place.
The Bubbly was for Fuel for his inter cooled turbo zinger.
The Dock was for Entertainment. HIS entertainment.
The water that was below the Dock (the sea, that is) is now gone, solid gone.
Where I come in, and how this fits in with the rest of this sorry tale will be revealed at some other time. Probably by some other scribe.
Because right now, I'm still trying to come to grips with the fact that something is not making sense.
So, be that as it may, I need to get some sleep.
24 hrs is a long time to be stuck on a dock, with no water.
Ha!
Welcome to my world!
I've been doing that every day for the last 30 years!
FROM RANGER RICK
Things have gotten complicated
Have arrived at L3
Prison ship can be seen orbiting Boldlygo
Boldlygo can be seen orbiting the planet Theonia
Fake queen Theona, the Warden, must have used the JUMP on both of them
Found a communication device onboard the Max that Lt. Uppy
must have gotten from Corny's boyfriend the General
Details to follow in 15 minutes
FROM RANGER RICK
You need to get here ASAP. Contacted Lefty using Lt. Uppy's commo device. He found the shield unit onboard the Prison ship that activates and deactivates the web shield and simply turned it off. He also shut down the security sound device on the entry and exit doors so my team could simply board the Prison ship without incident.
Without incident is not exactly the whole story. Theona has created a squad of large white widow spiders in a laboratory on the prison ship that she let loose on the ship to keep everyone under control. Lefty says Theona mentioned during one of their card games that there are 12 of them on the ship.
My team took out 6 of them on the way to the Captains quarters. A head shot between their multiple eyes does the trick quite well. The other 6 of these monsters are still to be located. They can walk on the ceiling or side walls so you need to operate in teams looking everywhere at the same time.
Lefty and Lucy are fine and none the worse for wear. Theona never started the mutation experiment on them.
Have questioned Theona. You better sit down for this one. Theona is Queen Claudia's sister, the real Queen of the Amazon Planet Theonia. Rick Jr's wife. Krissy's Mother. That makes Theona Krissy's Aunt. She was jealous of her older sister Claudia because Claudia became the Queen of the Amazons when their mother died. Theona had some followers that were loyal to her and she tried to take control from Queen Claudia but failed. She and her followers were placed on the Prison ship and sent off into space.
She used the white widow spider she took with her to take over the ship from the real Warden and found the pirates on Boldlygo easy to control and that's where she was when the Grey ship ran into engine trouble and by mistake gave her the JUMP unit.
This is the most important piece of information I have found and you need to tell Krissy right away. From what Theona said to me, Krissy's mother, Queen Claudia, and her father, Rick Jr., are still alive on the planet Theonia.
I may be able to communicate with the Planet Theonia using the commo units on the Prison ship if I can figure out how to do so. Theona will not cooperate with me in this. My team is still hunting the last 6 giant spiders. We need to eliminate these things before we do anything else.
Get here as fast as you can, and bring Krissy with you.
Remind her she is not from Earth.
She is an Amazon Warrior Princess from the Planet Theonia.
Tell her that I said she is not some debutante in a frilly skirt,
she is the next rightful heir to the throne of Theonia.
Ask her is she has forgotten the code never give up, never give in, never retreat.
Tell her I said that if she walks away while her Family is in danger,
she is no granddaughter of mine.
Tell her that I said she has spent her entire lifetime preparing for this one mission.
Yeah, I know I'm a hard case, so does she.
FROM ARK ACTUAL
I thought we were going in with a coordinated attack.
My mistake I suppose.
Ark parked above prison vessel.
Gather all friendlies and non-combatants in a secure area that your team can defend and seal hatches. Turn on magnetic boots and stay put.
Send best estimate of location and numbers of hostiles.
Stay out of main corridors, bridge, and engineering areas.
Hang on...things are going to get noisy in there.
Hood Out.
Prison ship layout: 10 decks
Deck one: Bridge, communication center and fire control.
Deck two: Crew quarters, medical center, and laboratories.
Deck three: Mess Hall, weapons and ammunitions storage, main equipment storage areas.
Deck four: landing bay for two shuttle craft and two fighter craft.
Deck five: Engineering, transport room, and energy pod storage area.
Deck six thru ten: Prisoner containment cells.
Have taken out 3 more of the giant spiders, 3 of them are still roaming around somewhere.
Sent Alpha, Lefty, and Lucy back to the Max
and had Alpha position the Max with guns trained on the Prison Ship in case we are overtaken.
Have cleared prison decks 6 thru 10 of the giant spiders
and have Theona and friendlies with me on deck 6 and sealed 7 thru 10.
Will await further instructions.
FROM HOOD
You may have misunderstood me earlier. Krissy was quite angry at my decision to keep her safely on The Ark. You know how she loves to be in the thick of things. I don't know how much of this is her bloodline or how much comes from being raised by you. She is sure enough bull headed. I think we both know where she gets that.:o)
Not knowing the situation with the royal family, I thought that for political reasons, it was best to hold her back this time.
As per usual, things have changed and I need my best engineer with us.
So, rest assured, she was in no way cowering in a corner.
On a personal note. I don't ever see her in the role of an Amazon princess. She was raised by an Alpha Male and grew up surrounded by the type. She would never accept a mate that would submit to her.
Okay, Executing operation exterminator now.
Switch on personal coms.
-Hood
You too Todd!
Hope you and the family have a great day!
Everyone was in place and secured to the hull of the ship. Charges were in place.
"Operation Exterminator...Go on my mark!...Mark!"
The laser banks on The Ark lit up, and moments later the engine bays at the back of the prison ship were vaporized. Almost simultaniously the breach charges on the side of the hull went off. The teams scrambled inside. Krissy, myself, and 8 others entered the engineering area and made our way to the main console.
"Okay, girl, do your thing. Lock down all compartments and open all bulkheads in the main fore to aft corridors."
"Trying boss. Would be easier if the controls were in some language that I can actually read!" Krissy joked, while all the while clicking buttons and poking at screens looking for the symbols and words that Earl had briefed her on.
For my part, I smiled, trying to keep the image of her standing in the chamber in her underwear as the spray on space suit was applied. I briefly wondered if she was having similar thoughts, or just smiling because she lived for this stuff. Focus man! I quickly ran through the list, making sure the other teams were in place.
I then split the team. Four would follow me, the rest would secure this area while Krissy continued to work.
As we moved to the main corridor, Krissy's voice came over the headset. "Got it boss. Set for phase 2."
A quick scan to make sure everyone was ready. "Okay everybody, check your magnetic boots. EXECUTE 2!"
She killed the artificial gravity as one operative on each level except 6, which Rick had secured, Stepped into the corridor and Fired an AT4-CS down the corridor to the rear of the vessel while tethered to their teammates.
As soon as they had fired, they were pulled back out of the corridor. Within a matter of seconds, all the main corridors were vented to space and anything in them not tied down was sucked out the back. The bridge deck was more heavily armored and took two rounds from two launchers.
Anything coming out into the corridors at this point better be wearing a space suit. The launchers were dropped and the teams switched to their FN P90s with armor piercing rounds.
It was now simply a room clearing exercise. After each deck was cleared, we made our way to Deck 6 and Rick's team.
(I don't mess around with spiders!)
From Rob and Angie,
Wishing all my America friends a very Happy Independence Day!
Hope you will all have lots of fun, be safe, and take a moment to reflect on the significance of this date.
If were that many spiders, there is likely a nest somewhere.
I want this ship evacuated and then obliterated.
Rick, when everyone is clear, Alpha can do the honors.
Earl is standing with a mothership BUFF-3 to process any prisoners.
Saw two of the giant spiders ejected into space from the clearing operation. Vaporized both of them with the Max's phasers. What happened to the third one?
Rick: oh crap, Hood did you and Krissy hear that? One of those big suckers is still onboard somewhere.
Wanted to stop by, before heading out the door, to wish you and yours A MOST SAFE & HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! Hope your weather holds up reasonably well and there no nasty weather systems indicated to intefere with your enjoyment of this special holiday or week!
Same to you and yours!
I'm going to find some lunch. Back in a while...
I was not aware that the 8-legged entity that met me on the Dock was going to react so Boisterously at the news that you guys have taken Offensive Action against his staff there.
Y'all are causing a lot of undue Froth (it's coming from YKW's mouthparts) and I must let you know that the Froth is a rather subliminal thing, since it morphs into Potent Alcohol when exposed to vacuum environments.
His children, the ones you have zapped, have most likely left gallons of the stuff around that ship.
I feel a little light-headed right now, myself, owing to the fact that I seem to be the only one around here who is actually doing anything worthwhile.
While you guys are out zapping 8-legged entities, I am collecting pools of arachnid-drool in an attempt to replace the missing seawater.
I am using a vacuum cleaner.
PLEASE NOTE---
They don't need a nest.
They dwell in the voids left by Spontaneous Combustion.
Zapping them into Vapor only creates more, bigger, frothier ones.
By the way, do any of them have pink sandals on?
Boy is he in for a treat. The prison ship didn't have mag boots for the prisoners
so they have been floating around in their cells since you guys blew the grav field.
Be carefull where ever you are right now,
I found air vents on level six big enough to hide that big monster we haven't found yet.
Whatever you do, don't use the turbo lift either, the vents go right by the thing.
but I could have used the information about not vaporizg the spiders,
ABOUT 15 MINUTES AGO JUST BEFORE WE VAPORIZED TWO OF THEM.
Sorry, you wouldn't know if they can still survive in deep space would you?
TELL ME NOW YOU AIRHEAD OR I WILL VAPORIZE EVERY BOTTLE OF RUM YOU HAVE.
Sorry, I'm calm now, really. :)
I have just had a New Mission dropped on my head (thank goodness for tinfoil...)
Will be collecting some reinforcements from Arizona tonight at the local Aerodrome, and will be departing with full Compliment at the Squark Of Dawn on the good ship T&T Express at 0400 hrs, Wednesday.
Destination, Tobago.
Purported Mission, 4 days of Reunion/Marriage/Festivities/Stuff. (that's the Cover, you understand?)
Actual Mission, the Auditioning of a large Posse of Hopefuls from UK, AZ, NY city, Here, There and Everywhere. They are all Professional Eradicators. We gonna need them.
Reason for Above, to formulate a Plan to Ensure that when you guys get back Here, from There, Everything will be in Full Swing.
So, prepare yourselfs.
Make sure you have clean socks.
YKW hates dirty socks.
That's why he loves Babes..... they seldom wear smelly socks.
And I think he is planning to make his move on some/all of them Babes, soon.
He is very persuasive, even through a Haze of Drool.
Yes, well, I am sorry.
But I had no idea things had gotten so Entirely Out-Of-Hand.
Can they survive in deep space? Is deep space a Vacuum?
You have, I am afraid, incurred the Wrath or the Entire Realm of Arachnia.
I'm working on it.
Wish me well.
Stay away from corners......
He's been sipping spider venom!
shhhhhh !
"They" might be alarmed at stuff like this......
Don't even bother to look, they are gonzo pal.
Tell me what I want to know or you will never find them.
Comprende Politico?
As the door of the turbo-lift opened, Captain Hood was shocked to see Krissy draw her sidearm and point it towards his head. He saw the muzzle flash just as he felt the fangs penetrate his left shoulder. His last conscious thought was "She Shot Me!"
The spider and the Captain fell simultaneously to the floor in a tangle of limbs and goo. The team took defensive positions, Krissy rushed in and grabbed Hood.
Just then Rick called to warn them about the lift.
"We got the spider, Grandpa." she replied. "We've got a big problem." and her always calm and professional voice broke up.
buzz-crakkle-hssss-hummm
I seem to be having trouble getting messages from Snake.
Some kind of Interferon Gloop is pervading my Antennae.
ROFL!
Can't say as I blame you. Had he called me a politician, I wouldn't talk to him either!
:o)
You are apparently receiving his Transmissions.
The only word I got was "Rum".
Very strange.
Captain Hood gets fanged, Krissy is trying not to cry, and all Lord P. is worried about is his slippers and his rum.
Have to break for a little while. Something about vacuuming a car. I thought this was a holiday?
As the turbo lift door opened Rick saw the dead spider and Cpt Hood on the floor.
He pulled a small vial of Tequila out of his pocket and told Krissy to rub some of it on her lips.
Kiss him Rick told Krissy, we need to get some of this in his system fast.
Krissy laid a lip lock on the Cpt that even raised Ranger Rick's eyebrows.
I think that ought to do it kid, Rick said.
As the Cpt started to stir Rick poured the rest of the Tequila in his mouth.
Swallow you lunk head Rick said.
OK, Alpha, transport us all to the Max.
They all disappeared in a flash.
I just got a message from one of the Snails that I had installed in the Venting System of The Weather Channel.
They want to know whether you (Capt. Hood) are interested in selling this story for 8 packets of Reverse-Osmosis Plankton-Driven Time-Warpers.
I told them No.
That's too many.
Silly people, them.
Hope you don't mind.
:):))
There's something else?
What have I missed????
OH NO....
Not the VACUUM.......
Stop Immediately, Capt.
Don't fall under the Spell of The Vacuum.
Beware The Froth.
You did not change your socks like I advised, did you!
This is Bad Stuff, this is.
Ranger Rick thought he would take a nap for a few hours.
I mean really, what could possibly go wrong?
Slowly he was starting to come around. He briefly got a glimpse of those big beautiful eyes. He'd always tried to avoid looking in them for too long. A man could get lost. Why did they look so sad...
Choke...Gulp...Cough...Cough. Suddenly he was rudely snatched away from dreamland.
"Krissy! Shoot me, kiss me, drown me? Make up your mind.
And why am I so drunk?"
She beamed that radiant smile that always made him feel that all was right in the universe. Of course, he could never tell her that. Any more than he could kiss her. "Did you really kiss me?" he asked.
"Yes, and you are going to be fine. Just lay back and sleep. We'll get you home." She tucked a blanket around him and motioned to medics to carry the stretcher.
She turned to Rick. "Thanks Grandpa! Sorry I kinda lost it." They followed the medics to where the Rharger Max was docked and waiting.
(got a brief reprieve, but now I have to do some stuff...back later)
BTW. This ain't no Godzilla movie. Spiders can't live in a vaccuum. I know this to be true because I've sucked a few up in the shop vac. Dead every time!
Also, a little difference between my telling and Rick's.
Since when do we have transporters? Why didn't we just use them to start with? Oh, yeah, because it would have made for a short story...
Anyway, just blame any discrepancies on the tequila and spider venom.
Could get interesting...or not. Time will tell.
