Hi, all! i am posting this in all respect, with the notion that a laugh does a body good once in a while. So- in my own words, "A funny thing happened on the way to the mystical planet named Earth..."
*************************************************
Battlescar Attactica- Episode 1: Moore for your money!
In our last episode(*), the Attactica became aware of an insidious menace which threatened to wipe out the entire cast and crew, and destroy forever the noble legacy of mankind's struggle to remain alive against all odds, including corporate takeovers and Nielsen ratings. Was it the evil Nylon Empire? No, not this time. This was far more sinister.....
*****
The Battlescar Attactica floats majestically against the backdrop of endless space. Now watch... we pan in to the command center of the mighty vessel, to see their noble leader, Commander Adrama. Focus...
Commander Adrama paces restlessly across the confines of the cramped bridge. Suddenly, he whirls to face his CO. "Tighdye!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Answer me one question... why is it that on a ship the size of a small city, I have to pace the confines of a cramped bridge? I won't have it! Get those consoles out of here before the next duty!"
"Yessir, I'll have them taken out and shot! Ah... Commander?"
"What is it? Make it fast, I have to be at a meeting of the Council of Elderberries."
"Sir, the partol we sent out to investigate the disturbance in the Viveldi sector has not returned!"
Adrama scowls at the stoic CO. "Who was in that partrol anyway?"
"Captain Apillow, and Lieutenants Fastbuck and Bummer."
Adrama scowls again. "Answer me another question. Why is it that on a ship the size of a small city, with fifty Squatrons of Wipers, the same three warriors go on all the missions? What do we pay these people for? Get rid of all these lazy no-flyers!"
"Yessir, I'll have them taken out and decommissioned! But first, should we send out a search party?"
"Have you used the long range scanner to check for any C.C.N.P.?(**)
"Yessir, there's nothing out there but space debris and some old newspapers."
Adrama sighs. "Very well. Send out Happy and Limabean. I have to address the council, and see if I can use my underwhelming authority as military commander to prevent the civilian leader, Sire Yogi, from his mad plan to convert all of our Bolonial Wipers into Yellow Galacticabs."
"Yessir!"
"And cancel our subscription to the Bolonial News, I'm tired of having to get it down off the bulkhead."
*****
Will our missing warriors return? Will the fleet be refitted with meters? Will Adrama ever get his paper? Tune in for our next episode, "The Hammar Virus!"
