And now, the exciting part two!
S.O.: Fascinating. Normally MU counterparts are almost polar opposites, but in this case it seems they are disturbingly similar. Number One: So now there are two of them. "Oh crap" would be a phrase that comes to mind. PHJ: Nonsense! It'll be fun. Sure, a few of you might die along the way, but I want you to know that you're all completely expendable. Helm: All in favour of a mutiny... All: Aye! Helm: Anyone against? *Silence* Number One: Um, sir, you're aware that you just voted to mutiny against yourself? PHJ: Given that there's two of me that makes perfect sense, don't you think? And now we're all agreed to fight against me, I say we get on with it. TO! T.O.: How is it we can never win? Um, anyway, they weren't doing anything up until a moment ago. Sir. PHJ: Probably having a jolly little chat about mutineering, I shouldn't wonder. Helm, evasive maneuvers, TO, charge phasers and target... you know, stuff. Bits that look important. T.O.: They're on the move - incoming photons, sir! *Explosions and shaking and stuff* PHJ: They're using torches? The bastards! *The WWYPTT and the SSWIPTT sweep past each other firing gamely away, causing many consoles to explode and redshirts to die, as well as some other bad stuff I suppose* Ensign Michael Redshirt, Jr: GAK! PHJ: Alas, poor Michael, I hardly knew ye. Or liked ye, for that matter. Damage report, someone! T.O.: Shields holding steady at eighty percent, some minor damage to tea storage on deck ten. PHJ: ...How minor? T.O.: Some of the Assam was singed by an exploding power relay, apparently. PHJ: GO TO RAMMING SPEED! Number One: Let's not be hasty, sir. PHJ: AND WHY NOT? Number One: Uh... the other you might have some tea you can steal? If you beat him, that is. T.O.: Coming back for another pass now, sir! PHJ: Fire! Fire everything! *Another dramatic exchange of weapons fire occurs; on the WWYPTT, several things on the bridge blow up with really quite impressive showers of sparks, almost as though they were designed to do so by some bored engineer with a perverse sense of humour, probably the same one that thought it would be a smashing idea to have plasma conduits running through crew consoles, though I bet he's a real hoot on April Fools Day... ahem, where were we?* PHJ: Report! T.O.: Smeg! S.O.: I second that smeg, sir! Chief: I third it! PHJ: Helm, go to high warp, and head for the nearest starbase - one of those ones that's a proper starbase, mind, not a namby pamby planetary based one. And would someone be a darling and signal for some well armed reinforcements? *The WWYPTT wheezes into warp, followed closely behind by the eyepatch and goatee wearing ship from the MU* Helm: Warp nine point insert a tenth and then a hundredth of a number here, sir. The SSWIPTT is following us at a slightly higher speed than the one I just said - I imagine they'll catch up at some point. PHJ: Some point when? Helm: Add up all the minutes between now and when their first torpedo hits us, and it will have been exactly that long. *Once again, PHJ reaches for his trusty phaser rifle, only to find that no good busybody Number One has put it away somewhere* PHJ: *Sulk* T.O.: The nearest friendly ship, in case anyone is interested, is the USS Ottawa. PHJ: Rear Admiral Zeke! Yes! We'll pay him a visit. Number One: Shouldn't we give him some prior warning, sir? You know that he can be a little... cantankerous, sometimes, and there are two of you. PHJ: Nonsense. I'm sure he'll be just thrilled to see us. Helm, increase speed to warp plaid! Someone call me if I look like I'm going to overtake - I'm going to go and play with my dolls.
