Really, ladies, pepsimilk is not so bad. I'm sure you've had rootbeer floats, where you put ice cream in rootbeer?

Pepsimilk tastes something like that, except you have Pepsi instead of rootbeer and milk instead of ice cream.

Not that I've had the nerve to try it...

But from what I understand from ThatWeirdGirl, you fill a glass about 2/3 full of Pepsi and top it off with milk. Then drink! You sort of have to be quick about it because I understand that the milk...

...curdles.

Back to our earlier peril:

After hopping up and down on various controls on his bridge console, TheRealMe’s shrunken form steps back to look at the holographic sensor displays. “It seems that there are a large number of unidentified fighter craft attacking the Persepolis 8 space station! Bride5! Evasive maneuvers! Bride4! Prepare to Jump! SimonWho, prepare to receive injured! Jake7, Bride6, and other gunners, FIRE AT WILL!”

Bobby Sue, strapped into the gunnery turret next to Jake7, furrows her brow. “Which one is named Will?”

In the pilot dome above the bridge, Quincey touches some controls before her and twists the hand grips on either side of her chair. Sereni-Tree responds by a slow and steady turn. The nearby space station can be seen sliding across her field of view. Then she kicks a control with her right foot. For a few seconds, Sereni-Tree’s main drive flares to life, imparting a large number of gees on the passengers. TheRealMe falls from the console down into his chair. She turns the ship again, and activates another quick burst from the engines. She continues these maneuvers, making everyone inside somewhat dizzy.

Sereni-Tree lurches again in response to a near-by explosion.

From main engineering, Jet’s voice comes over the intercom: ”I repeat, we have a problem! The Somebody Else’s Problem field is draining too much energy! I can’t get the capacitors charged up to full strength in time for…”

TheRealMe climbs back up to his console and kicks at another control. “There! SEP Field is down! But now we’re exposed! Get us out of here!”

”Roger!” A low hum permeates the ship as the FTL drive spins up.

No longer cloaked by the SEP Field, Sereni-Tree is seen and targeted by a squadron of fighters that split off from their fellows. The fighters scream toward Sereni-Tree, guns blazing.

TheRealMe gulps. “If anybody aboard has Shepherd credentials, now would be a good time to start praying!”

The ship shudders again.

"Have we been hit?" TheRealMe asks.

"No," replies Quincey. Someone just launched the Nandi from our hanger."

"Seryn's fighter? But who is flying her?"

**As TRM's words to fire at will come over the comm, Jake7 swings her turret around and begins blasting at the oncoming fighters. At Bobby Sue's words, she rolls her eyes and yells**

They're ALL named Will. Just FIRE!!!

**To herself she mutters**

Man, I wish Grey were here!

**The controls alert her to the next wave of attacking fighters. As the SereniTREE swings around wildly, she barely manages to hang on to her gun controls. She begins firing and barely misses the shuttle flying by.**

GORRAMIT!

**jake7 hits the comm control**

TRM! Who's taking the Nandi? I almost blasted it! These fighters are swarming like locusts! Have you been able to figure out who they are?

**She sends off a few more blasts and manages to hit two, sending them spiraling toward the planet. As they hit atmo, they burst into flames. She smiles in satisfaction.**

That's more like it!

"Jake7! It seems as if... " TheRealMe cannot finish answering Jake7, because his shrunken form has once again been tossed off the bridge console that he was standing on, due to Quincey's wild piloting.

"Sorry!" she says from the pilot dome above.

Once Bobby Sue starts shooting her plasma cannon, she is amazingly accurate with very few misses. "ALL named Will? That's silly! How in the world do they carry on a conversation?"

Meanwhile, the Nandi positions itself between Sereni-Tree and the lagrest mass of enemy fighters. It speeds toward them, shooting some with its triple-turret lasers and playing chicken with others trying to get past it.

Jet's voice comes over the intercom from engineering: "Five minutes to Jump!"

"Australia?" TheRealMe reaches out and a point of light appears before him. It expands until it becomes a ring of fire surrounding a dark void. He reaches into this hole in reality and pulls Leopardflan and Mrs Universe back aboard Sereni-Tree. The dimensonal portal fades away.

Leopardflan and Mrs Universe find themselves on the bridge just as Quincey makes another jarring course change. They are caught off balance while TheRealMe's tiny form goes flying again.

Meanwhile, Bobby Sue keeps firing (and babbling). "I mean, someone would shout out, 'Hey Will!' and EVERYONE'S head would turn! EVERYONE! It's just not practical!"

TheRealMe's tiny form climbs back up into the chair of his bridge console. "Greetings, Mrs Universe! Sereni-Tree and the space station Persepolis 8 are under attack by numerous enemy fighters. Our own figher Nandi was launched to do battle, while our gunners defend us and our pilot, Bride5, attempts to dodge their attacks with her fancy flying. Meanwhile, our engineer Bride4 is attempting to generate enough power for a Jump into hyperspace in..."

Jet's voice comes over the intercom: "Jump in four minutes."

"...in four minutes." TheRealMe concludes. "Anything you can do would be appreciated, Mrs Universe." He keys the com. "Jake7? This is Me. Due to their ship configurations and energy signatures, I suspect that we are being attacked by our old enemies, the..."

TheRealMe is once again thrown from his place by Quincey's piloting.

Meanwhile, Bobby Sue continues to blaze away from her turret. "And... and... are the GIRLS named Will, too? That's just WRONG!"

By this time, Nandi has punched through the formation of fighters and has turned 180 degress about, blasting the attackers from behind.

**jake7 growls in frustration at yet another cut off transmission from TRM. More fighters seem to be swarming out of nowhere and her arms are getting tired. She sets off a few more blasts sending several more fighters splintering into Persepolis' atmo. Small comfort, but one she'll take at the moment. She takes a split-second to hit her comm switch**

I don't recognize these fighters, TRM, are you sure they're someone we've dealt with before?

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 6:58 PM

TheRealMe has managed to climb back to his console. "Bride5! Fly us directly at the enemy fighters. Bride4, full power! Gunners! Keep up your volume of fire!"

Sereni-tree swerves again as Quincey adjusts the course (this time TheRealMe manages to hang on). "Directly at them? Well... if you say so!"

From engineering, Jet's voice comes over the intercom: "Copy full power! Hyperspace Jump in three minutes!"

Meanwhile, the fighter Nandi continues to approach the enemy, blazing its lasers at the backs of the enemy fighters. Now, Nandi and Sereni-Tree are coming at them from both sides.

TheRealMe smiles. "We've got them surrounded!"

Above him in the pilot dome, Quincey glances at a readout and smirks. "Just Nandi and us, we have all 128 fighters surrounded?"

"Just so!" agrees TheRealMe. "Oh, Jake7? I believe these attackers to be the dreaded Enemy Invaders or Evil Invaders. We haven't seen them in 40 threads or so, since Serenity flew up and dropped a bomb down their smokestack."

"Coming up on them now," Quincey says. "Hope we win this game of chicken or else we'll be scraping them off our windshield."

TheRealMe's tiny form walks along the console and kicks a few controls. "There! I've enabled the Inertial dampeners in the hanger. Hanger doors opening. Bride5?"

"Mmmm?" Quincey is concentrating on her piloting.

"Bride5, perform a Barn-swallow maneuver on Nandi as we pass by."

"Huh? At this speed? You gotta be..."

"Brilliant?"

"Right, that was the word I had in mind..."

"Regardless, those are my orders."

Quincey shrugs as she lines up the hanger bay door with the projected course of Nandi. "Huh, well, it's your funeral. Mine too."

"Hyperspace Jump in two minutes!"

Saturday, June 27, 2009 7:19 AM

As Sereni-Tree speeds toward its enemies, TheRealMe reconfigures his console as a gunnery station and takes over one of the set of laser cannons. He combines his fire with that of Jake7 and Bobby Sue, and soon the three have punched a hole through the thick blanket of enemy fighters.

Jet’s voice comes over the intercom: “Thirty seconds to Jump.”

TheRealMe keeps firing. “Bride5, how is that Barn-swallow maneuver coming?”

From the pilot dome above, Quincey replies, “Nandi signals ready. We’re lined up now if we can hold this course.”

"Twenty seconds, Nineteen, Eighteen, Seventeen…"

TheRealMe stops firing and prepares to close the hanger door.

"Sixteen, Fifteen, Fourteen, Thirteen, Twelve…"

Sereni-Tree lurches.

Quincey calls down, “Capture on Nandi! She’s aboard!”

"Eight, Seven, Six, Five…"

TheRealMe slams the button and the hanger doors slowly close.

" Four, Three, Two, One…"

The lights dim as Sereni-Tree makes the Jump to Hyperspace.

Mrs Universe does her time warp thing and pushes a button.

TheRealMe sighs. “We’re safe in Hyperspace! Now let’s go see who was in Nandi. Good job everyone! Bride4, Bride5, downgrade operations to Hyperspace mode. Jake7, Bride6, secure and power down ship’s weapons for the week in Hyperspace.”

TheRealMe finds that the shrinking effect has worn off and he is now his normal size. He gets up and walks out of the bridge onto a balcony overhanging the common room. He follows that until he comes to the hanger bay. After entering the pass code, the door opens. He sees that Sparky the Robot has already started to service Nandi.

A pair of Yeti wave as they climb out of the fighter’s cockpit. Ervin, the larger, comes forward with a big toothy grin. “Ervin and Hewitt have good fun! Ervin watch how Seryn fly back when we fight cruiser over Boros. Ervin try, and is good! Hewitt fires gun of Nandi.

Hewitt nods. “Hewitt play many video games!”

"Currently, we are undertaking a ballistic trajectory through hyperspace. While we are here, we are cut off from normal reality and cannot be harmed or interfered with. When we drop out of hyperspace in about a week, we will be in a different solar system.

"I don't know if we have any Ice Cream From the Purple Dimension left. I thought that it was used up long ago, but I guess Bobby Sue kept some. Alas, I cannot undertake another trip to that dimension until we drop out of hyperspace, as my special powers get all twisted up here."

I'm sorry, Leopardflan, but once we calculate and initiate a Jump we cannot do anything to change it. Well, short of causing a mis-Jump, which would be very bad. I'm sure that TheGreyJedi with his technomagic might have been able to do something about it, but he has been gone for a long, long, time. He built the ship, you see.

Oh, no! You don't think *I'm* an evil twin do you?

Well, there's no twirly moustache. But, then, I am a girl, so I guess I wouldn't have one...

But, Mai, wouldn't that make me twice as evil?

I don't wanna be evil!

**jake7 is now getting paranoid. Plus, she had a creepy feeling someone was sneaking up behind her, but there's no one there...**

I don't want you to be evil either, but I don't make the rules. Maybe two evils cancel each other out and your good again? Or maybe the thread is taking us back in time to the evil tree? Or maybe the evil versions of ourselves were never really defeated they were just lying in wait to start a new attack!!!!!

That's it! I bet the doll is behind the whole mess. The Sereni-Tree is turning into a horror movie!

Please tell me that thing is still dead...

Didn't we send it out the airlock after it's rampage?

Actually, Hewitt the Yeti ended up with the pieces of the shattered evil doll CallMeChucky. But these were taken from him the last time that the FemaleReaver went on a rampage. What SHE did with them is unknown.

CallMeChucky could be on board ANYWHERE!

He could be listening to us RIGHT NOW!

Or maybe the parts were eaten by Cozen's talking Llama.

I really hope Cozen's llama got them.

Speaking of Cozen, where is he? There haven't been any attempted kidnappings lately...

**jake7 is unaware of the attempt on her reflection**

Um. What is that bird and what is it doing?

Me too!
Now what can we do to revive this place?
We could throw another party, but that just tends to lead to people drinking and passing out. Then the thread goes quiet again. Maybe we should make mixed drinks, but with super hyper never sleepy energy juice instead of alcohol!

The only thing is energy juice can only be derived from the energy tree. Sadly there is but one energy tree left thriving on a remote planet far, far away...

But, do we have anyone to pilot the 'Tree to get us there?

Hmm. As I said earlier, I'm concerned about the modifications done by Grey. Does the book have any crib notes in it? Maybe Grey, TRM or one of the Brides wrote notes?

On second thought the directions in this book do look a bit complex and slightly scary.

Ow!

Mai? I think you may have hit the hyperspeed button!

"Stop pushing random buttons!! And where in the world have I been?!?"

Soul pulls his way into the cockpit and makes his way over to THE chair.

"Man. Haven't sat in this thing since Static gave me a few lessons. Well, here goes nothing!"

He sits down in the chair and it rises up into the navigation dome.

"Someone help me figure out how to steer in hyperspace!!!"
