The challenge we are setting you is to write a story in exactly 100 words. Not a word more. Not a word less.

Thanks very much for letting me win last week and announce the topic of

Guide

The story should be set in the Elite Universe and the exact number of 100 words does not include the title. On Sunday the winner shall have the honour of choosing the next topic. Erik said he'd host the poll this week, but just give me a shout if find yourself busier than expected.

A good place to compose your story is recommended by Erik, http://www.wordcounter.net/

Entries to a poll will be limited to the first 20 Drabbles submitted, and the poll might go up early if all those slots are filled but don't let that stop you from showing us what you would have entered in the contest.

Please remember that this is a family forum We want as many people as possible to feel comfortable on this thread. Don't write anything that you wouldn't want to read out in front of your family.

A guide to your Mods: This week - Frank. A semi-hard lesson.

Pontas is the main producer of Ammaphat H-Ore,(the densest H-Ore, even denser than Psykokow),
Ammaphat-H was exclusively mined by Amazonional type women.
----
Frank had faked his credentials for his big expose on men not being allowed on Pontas.
"We scatter this sand and it will pool in the Ammaphat-H rich areas due to it's immense Gravitational pull."
The guide motioned them forward.
As 'Francine' was mid-step over a large blob of sand he suddenly realised why he had seen no men.
"oh... balls!" he screamed.
An Amazonial "woman" lifted her skirt at Francine and smiled knowingly.

Elsewhere, Tammy sharted.

Oculus Rift v.3301

Kalran felt the ship lift off and gravity quickly melt away. He activated his ocular implant and waited those precious seconds while it booted up. It read his thoughts as he instructed it not to connect to the ship's computers. That would alert the criminals. Instead he interfaced with the station and scanned the ships within vicinity. There were four mobile and one lifting off within a few minutes. Three system authority... No, they'll be as crooked as Winnard's Hole. A Fer-de-Lance... no information. Cobra... trade manifest.

He sent an encrypted message to the Cobra, "Guide the hunters to me."

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Tammy smiled

Still suffering from the after-effects of whatever designer-virus Dr Ted had managed to dose her with, Tammy gingerly stepped into the debriefing room.

“Please, have a seat” said Cmdr Thrawn, motioning to the plasteel chair on her left.

“I’d rather stand sir” replied Tammy, wincing inwardly at the thought.

“As you wish. I did hear you had an “incident”, most unfortunate. How is Mr Onion?”

“Extended leave sir”

“Harrumph! Hate to see a good man indisposed. Now, about Dr Ted. Was he aware of the surveillance?”

“No sir, he has guided us right to them”

“Ready your ships”


Tammy smiled

First Time User Guide

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the Sidewinder user guide.

Firstly, if you press the blue button on the left of your console (presses button) you will eject your cargo.

(Arrrgh)

Don’t press this button.

If you now press the green square button (pushes button, alarms sound) you will fire your weapons.

(Arrrrrrrrrrghh)

Don’t under any circumstance press this button in a space station, you have been warned.

Most importantly though is the Big Red button to your left, if you press this button (carefully presses) you’ll engage the self destruct mechanism on your ship.

(Sigh).

On the… Boom.

PING!

The ping from behind had alerted Barry it was ready but he instinctively knew that something wasn’t quite right. The upcoming events were playing on his mind and he struggled to release himself from the luxuriously cushioned seat of his brand new imperial clipper. He paused and stared at the most beautiful planet he had ever seen but his distraction was short lived, there were other things to deal with. Throwing open the door of the microwave oven his fears were confirmed, his soup was stone cold. Oh how he wished he had read the guide to this damn machine.

It's not who you know but what they know

This year we took a gamble with a trip of a lifetime with a cruise company I had never heard of.

But as it turned out, I had nothing to worry about.

The years space cruise passed quickly.

The sights were magnificent. The banquets and entertainment, first class. An excellent guide and host.

My best moment?

Easy... The intersecting of the five stars of Wenjar that bathed the planet with a dancing mirage of colours that induced its own form of a hypnotic high on us.

Definitely a once in a lifetime trip.

The name of the company?

The Guide.

I can't wait for Tammy to show up in the Collab-adrabble so I can kill her off. :D

She doesn't know it, but she's got some rare form of colon bacteria that is slowly melting her insides. :)

A spoon less of burgers helps the tommy go down.....

'Ok Boil's Song for Tommy take one'
The producer sighed how had music got this way, it's for a charitable cause he thought.
'Guide the burgers from Tommy' had been a huge success and his weight was no longer pulling in small sidewinders into his orbit.
The music welled to fever pitch in the space studio and Susan Boils began to sing

'Before Tommy was a planet he was uncharted
but the effort you gave was so kind hearted
and now his weight has slowly departed
he no longer needs a wheelchair to be carted
But meanwhile elsewhere Tammy Sharted'

DON'T PANIC

"Why is the subether radio dead? Why does Bernard Star look wrong? Where did the hyperspace junction go?"

A wedge shaped ship screamed past the bridge. Two more ships followed spewing antiquated projectiles after the first.

"Holy Zarquon's singing fish! Marvin, what’s going on out there?"

"You won’t like the answer.”

"Just tell us."

"I’m afraid it will only depress you."

"Spit it out metal-mouth, before I find a way to short your pain receptors with this towel!"

"Have it your way. We've ended up in a parallel dimension, one in which only the Earthmen developed sentience."

"Belgium, man. Belgium!"

*sigh* and the early winner leaps out of the gate 3 days before the shot is fired.

Great drabble, Splendour!

Guided by the hand of God

Wow!

Now that's acceleration.

That's what I call speed. What a rush!

Phew, I haven't gone that fast...well......ever!

So, where am I going?

Lets see, Cobra on the left firing cannons, eagle about to explode, Python, beam lazers, Asp, shields down.

I'm in a war zone!

Swerve to avoid the Clipper debris and, is that?

It is.

A capitol ship, over by the planet.

Lets take a look at that!

It's huge, look at the size of those engines.

Wonder how close I can get?

..................Boom!


In his cockpit, Godfrey armed another missile and selected his next target.

Hey Listeri69,

Thanks for the PM, looking forward to it and I thought I'd leave the poetry to you this week :) and go a bit Douglas Adams-ish

Although, I did get a bit stuck on my last line. It was as if I wanted to say something else :rolleyes:

(curse you Splendour for beating me to it and double curse you for doing it so well) :D (now I've only got two votes left)
