Colemak's eyes slowly close...
Captain Awesome starts yelling about how awesome he is!
I have to concur. It could be difficult to sleep, given current conditions...
...but Colemak is mysteriously tired. His eyes close... he feels exhausted... why can't he sleep? Oh yeah. There's someone yelling..... someone................
His head rolls to one side, and instantly there's a burst of staccato bangs: the ship is firing its weapon systems. He must have pressed some button or other. Somewhere near Colemak's head, a meter shows weapons ammunition: there's just 12% remaining, and that value is slowly ticking down as the firing continues.
Unheard in the din, a quiet mechanical voice drones from a speaker.
"We have two hours of oxygen left. Recommend beginning navigation procedures to a location where oxygen is procurable. Nearest such location: unknown stellar body, beyond Outer Fringes area. Press ACCEPT to begin autonav procedures." | |  | |  |

 | |  | | ![]() "Hey! Fan Guy! Don't do that!"
Captain Awesome runs over and removes Fan Guy's head from the firing button...
"Silly Fan Guy! You'll waste all our ammunition that way! That would not be awesome. Good thing Captain Awesome is here to keep you out of trouble!"
He suddenly gets very quiet, and cocks his head to the side...
"Eh? I thought I heard a voice... Strange..." | |  | |  |
|
 | |  | | ![]() Colemak certainly felt like he was leaving some sort of dream. He felt extremely sluggish. Hitting the panel with his head was not intended, and for some reason, that sensation of buttons impacting his face felt awfully... Realistic.
He sighed as his face got pulled away from the panel. For the first time in a while, he was lost for words. Even to talk to himself.
What is this, I don't even... | |  | |  |

"Hey! Fan Guy! Don't do that!"
Captain Awesome runs over and hauls Colemak's head off of the buttons, yammering at him, and calling him Fan Guy again. Then he lets the so-called Fan Guy's head drop (*thunk*... good thing there's nice, thick carpet underfoot) and cocks his head, saying something about a voice.
Colemak sighs, and keeps quiet. I don't think he has much to say at the moment.
Outside, the repair bots finish their work. The ship is now up to speed.
If anyone looks at the radar, they'll see that the wreckage of the Zargon spaceship seems to have some large barrels floating around near it. A mediocre spacewalker could easily get them aboard if the ship was piloted close enough to them.
We only have 10% ammo left. .5% is taken each time the ship shoots at something. | | | | |

| | | | ![]() Captain Awesome notices the barrels, and tries to pilot the ship closer to them...
"Hey Fan Guy! Go get those barrels for me!" | | | | |

 | |  | | ![]() WHY is Mingamango ignoring this?? | |  | |  |
|
| | | | ![]() Colemak... Had lost control of whatever situation happened to be occurring. His head felt rather sore from that drop, despite the fuzzy carpet...
Wait... I don't have fuzzy carpeting here!
He blinked a bit, and tried pulling himself to his feet.
"So... You aren't a figment of my insanity..." | | | | |

Captain Awesome looks around, and notices something shiny in the wreckage of the Zargons' spaceship. Oooh... shiny! It's shiny! OOOOH! Several shiny things! Those are a must see!
He decides to to pilot the ship towards them. *roll*... 4. He grabs the controls and stamps on the engine pedal. The engines roar as the ship surges forwards, but Captain Awesome is bad at steering. The ship swings from side to side for a few minutes, hardly getting close to the barrels, then the engines splutter and cut out.
"Out of fuel," says a quiet mechanical voice.
Meanwhile, Colemak has slumped to the carpet...
He blinks, then climbs to his feet, and mumbles something about insanity and figments.
I didn't know there were any artists around here, let alone any paint.
Anyway, to return to what's happening: the LDPP-101 is coming towards them, engines growling. Technically you couldn't hear them in space, but how much fun is that? Some bleeps and bloops come over the speakers, some long, some short. It sounds like some sort of code. | | | | |
|
| written by Jam on Jun 30, 2011 16:18 |
| | | | ![]() "It's a code!"
Captain Awesome then runs over to the radio and makes random bleeping and blooping sounds back at the LDPP-101... | | | | |

Captain Awesome runs over to the radio and starts yelling fairly bad imitations of bleeps and bloops, in what could only be a random pattern. Now, I wonder what they'll make of that.
Some more bleeps and bloops come over, shorter this time. | |  | |  |

 | |  | | ![]() Alright.
I need the players to start posting again. Soon, this will be dead. Actually, it is almost dead and this is a last ditch effort to revive it. Take up your... keyboards? I was going to say pens, but that doesn't fit unless you're using handwriting input software and a graphics tablet.  I have it! Take up your assorted digital input devices, spacemen of AnyNowhere! | |  | |  |

| | | | ![]() Captain Awesome gets annoyed the ship isn't going where he wants it to go...
"Hey, there's another ship coming towards us!"
Captain Awesome tries to pilot the ship towards the LDPP-101 instead.
"BLEEP BLEEP BLOOP BLEEP BLEEP BLOOP BLOOP BLEEP!" | | | | |
|
| | | | ![]() Colemak moved himself so that he was in one of the seats. He looked out, and frowned at the ship that was making its way towards him. He pulled out his PDA.
"Please identify that ship if possible."
Then he remembered that his PDA never had such a function.
"Um... Never mind that. I'll examine it myself."
Colemak disregarded that person (if he could actually call it one) and took note of the various features of the ship that was moving in their direction. | | | | |

Control room, inside a rocket, somewhere in the Outer Fringes
Captain Awesome rushes to the controls and grabs them, yelling "BLEEP BLEEP BLOOP!" He presses down on the accelerator.
Nothing happens.
Erm... did you not hear the mechanical voice, my good sir?
Meanwhile, Colemak sits down somewhere, and pulls out his PDA. He tells it to identify the ship, but then realizes it doesn't do ships and looks at the ship himself.
It's your run of the mill Long-Distance Planetary Patrol rocket. Green with red fins. It's slowly coming towards our ship.
Some more bloops and bleeps come over the speakers. Colemak's PDA automatically detects and translates the Morse code; now that it's out in the open he knows what the translation is:
ARE YOU IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE STOP WE HAVE SOME SPARE FUEL ABOARD STOP WE ARE IN NEED OF OXYGEN DO YOU HAVE ANY ABOARD STOP APPARENTLY SOMEONE ABOARD IS YELLING BLEEP BLOOP AT US STOP THE MESSAGE IS UNINTELLIGIBLE STOP PLEASE IMPROVE YOUR MESSAGE SENDING SYSTEM STOP
A mechanical voice announces, "We have two hours of oxygen remaining."
Captain Awesome, having failed to fly the ship, notices a largish slot next to the controls, with a red button marked "PIZZA" next to it. | |  | |  |
