Gone in 60 seconds.
To be a successful ship thief you need contacts, nerve and luck. The first two I have, it's just the third that can be tricky. Then I see my opportunity, an unlocked Viper. I enter the ship and start it.. I hit 'Return to Surface' and the lift carries the ship forward and up. This is it. Will 'Launch' work?
It does, I hear the docking clamps release and watch the ramp lower itself. I lift off and it's a clear run to the entrance. I raise my gear and throttle forwards. Boost, clear mass lock and then jump. Success.

The Opportunity Drabble Poll
The Opportunity Drabble Poll
List thread updated.
At some point I'll get the opportunity myself to pop a Drabble in where the Kow "gets it" in a new and violent manner.
That would make a good topic choice.
Erm..T.j.. I went to the OP to check if there's ever been a "Psykokow Must Die!" topic. There's a couple of links not working.
That would be afun topic.
Let me know which ones and I'll look at them.
EDIT: All seem ok now,
I seem to recall that some time back there was a discussion about the perfect drabble. IIRC it had to be in verse and featuring Frank, Cathy and also having Pyskokow meet his end in some horrible manner.
Somewhere in the dusty depths of this thread is my attempt. It wasn't in a contest, but was quite well recieved

I'm going to lose anyway. I might as well go out in a blaze of glory. Thanks to everyone that voted for me and remember you can't take back your vote once you've cast it...
Opportunity Bangs on the Door Yelling "Let Me Out!"
Oprah Winfrey's clone was making a guest appearance on a New Caledonian talent show, but she had a problem. She'd discovered how delicious Tunnock's Caramel Logs were and couldn't stop eating them.
The white-haired presenter, with skin dyed the greenish hue fashionable on this rain-sodden Scottish planet, sat on set with her as the makeup ladies applied finishing touches.
When the curtain rose the holocameras saw that Miss Winfrey was stuffing her face with the toffee wafers. The host was staring at her before noticing he was on air. He smiled and said "Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Oprah chewin' Tunnock's!"

The three margaritas I have consumed have numbed me to whatever pain this was supposed to inflict. I will assume that it would be strongly akin to a person consuming a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster before being subjected to Vogon poetry.
If not, then my deepest, heartfelt apologies, Frank.

Sierra sunrise and Margarita,
They'll break your heart in the desert heat, ah...
... the curse of Tequila
It makes me happy,
Con Tequila it feels fine,
Con Tequila when the doors are opened,
And con Tequila when they're calling time,

Well Done
The crew of the interstellar Lakon ‘Abraka Drabble’ sat happily machinating and munching into the tender juicy slabs of beef in front of them.
Moral was high, the plan was perfect, and the evidence disposable, nobody would ever know.
Clear plates, they washed the dishes and stowed them back in the storage.
TJ smiled ‘that’s the best meal we’ve had in so long. And so peaceful’
Frank farted ‘Still little bit of his hot air about’
They laughed hard and headed to their quarters.
In the morning the ship listed slowly towards the I-Bootis star, seemingly unmanned.
Rare wasn’t wise.

I think that's what we'd call a pre-emptive strike, a very well executed pun. I have to prepare my salvo in retaliation.
Ladies and gentlemen, to achieve our goal we must rid ourselves of any feelings of remorse or pity. Go for the jugular. Psykokow has shown us what he is capable of, and the threat he poses to mankind.
Psykokow must die!
