OOC- That's right folks, Dirk's in charge of this next little
adventure. I want to go ahead and thank Onion and WW for letting me
do this little story line. I think everyone will enjoy. This is just
the set up to get everyone in on it. I'll post the follow up in the
next day or so. Bon appetite.

RPG
Dirk, Dren, and Edwards sat in their separate cells. Dirk?s cell was
between Dren and Edwards. He could barely hear their bickering back
and forth. He was doubled over and moaning. He had been experiencing
some stomach pains for the past couple of months. Now things were
getting really bad. Sweat beads ran down his red face as he expressed
his pain. ?Hey!? Dren called from his cell. ?Are you okay over
there, buddy??

?Oh, why don?t the two of you shut up?? Edwards shrieked from her
cell. ?I should kill both of you for this.?

Dirk kept moaning. His body tumbled to the floor as his cry of pain
echoed throughout the entire brig. ?It won?t work!? Edwards yelled.
?You?re not escaping this time. Especially not with such a pathetic
scam. It?s been done to death. No one will fall for it.?

Dren and Edwards were trying to see into Dirk?s cell from their own.
A slight vibration began to run along the floor of the brig. It
slowly grew stronger. Soon, the shaking caused everyone on that
deck?s teeth to rattle. The shaking continued to gain momentum around
the whole Blue Dwarf. A blinding white light shot out from Dirk?s
cell as the most violent tremor ran through the ship.

The Starbug was beginning it?s entrance back into the ship.
?Something looks wrong,? Phil said. As the craft began to enter the
docking bay, sparks shot forth from the Blue Dwarf?s doors causing
them to slam shut. Only, the Starbug was in the way. The rear
section was caught between the doors. The occupants rocked inside the
vessel as they heard the slow creaking sound of the hull giving way.

?We need to get out of here!? Tara yelled in panic.

?We can?t open the escape hatch while the docking bay doors are open.
We?ll get sucked into space!? Jay replied as the bug shook with
another jarring from the closing doors.

In the Captain?s Office, Allie was sitting at the desk reading a
report. The chair moved out from under her and she crashed to the
floor. The lights flickered and the emergency lights kicked on.
?Holly, what?s going on?.?

Holly?s head appeared on the monitor, occasionally broken up by
static, ?Something?s knocked out our main power system. We?re on
reserves right now. Everything?s gone all wonky.?

?What does that mean, completely??

?Only necessary power is being supplied: life-support, water
purification, med-bay, and the hand driers in all the gents rooms.
Also, we?re going to have to cancel the wack-a-mole tournament. You
might want to call out security.?

?Why??

?The power to the beer pump has been terminated. I estimate that
there approximately three pints are left to be served.?

As Dren pulled himself off the floor of his cell, he noticed that the
bars had been blown away. He walked out to see the bright light
illuminating Dirk?s cell; but he couldn?t see Dirk. ?Help!? Edwards
cried from the other side of the light. ?Get me out of here!?

Before running out of the room, Dren yelled, ?Stay away from the
light, Carol-Anne....er...I mean, Edwards.?


OOC-Well, folks, what do you do?
