Missing Crew

I’ve hunted you throughout the station,
This futile task’s my new fixation,
I’ve search the entire docking bay,
But still no signs of you today.
I rummage through my cargo hold.
Nothing yet, am I getting cold?
The cockpit is my one last chance,
But nothing, not a fleeting glance.

Under my seat, you used to sleep,
So cautiously I take a peek.
An empty space is all that’s there
I Check your quarters, but they’re laid bare.
Like you’ve never been in there
So I call your coms, I’m getting frantic,
But all I seem to hear is,
Static

Very moving, 'Kow. You'll miss him for a long time (I still miss our 'Nessy' after 7 years). A toast to S C.

A LaveRadio reference?

For the rest, poor Space Cat... Bless him...

"i told him to crap in his headphones but he wouldnt do it!"

 

[Frank]

Why do I have to keep telling you all, it's not me ... oh, you said aliens, plural. Best nuke them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Sorry. I forgot the apostrophe. My guess is Alien's

The Death of George Lucas

The Eagle's port engine had developed a flaw. Instead of sending a neutral plasma flow directly aft, it emitted a magnetically segregated flow which veered to the right, spilling slightly over the hull. The pilot grumbled and manually corrected for the drift, oblivious to the static charge gradually building on his ship's surface as it boosted towards the starport...
----
"We interrupt this broadcast for breaking news: A disaster has occurred aboard George Lucas station following a massive electrical discharge from a docking Eagle fighter. The station is believed to be suffering catastrophic power failure, disabling all communications and life support."

 

[MrMogadon]

The Immortal

Small stones and sand, stampeded by the snarling wind, skitter in dervish ls across the tundric landscape, filling hollows and building drifts.

In this desolation, a shelter huddles in the permanent gloom. Inside a figure in bloodied singlet, hobbles painfully towards a chair. A radio emits a string of crackles and hisses.

“We interrupt this broadcast of Classic Static. Uncertainty still surrounds the mysterious disappearance of revered actor Bruce Willis. Plans concerning Die Hard MCCXIV – Die SupraCosmicCollossalOptimalUltraMaxDiamondHardererest have been suspended. The search continues”

Bruce knows he'll eventually be found, but plans to enjoy his solitude whilst it lasts. Yippie-kai-yay Mather-Fokker

Just the one slot to fill now. Remember that one of the topics was chosen by Simoof. It would make me feel completely miserable if he managed a full house of Drabbles. Anyone out there, if you want to ruin my day all you have to do is write a short story of exactly 100 words (not including the title), set in the Elite Galaxy, about the topics "We interrupt this broadcast..." and "Static"

I'm telling you to not do that... and don't post it to this thread before 11:00 BST tonight (Thurday).

Don't blame Simoof ... blame the one who made sure the result was a draw ... that person *could* have voted for anyone but Simoof ... I'll just run away now, Frank go over there, close your eyes, and count to 400 billion (the supposed number of systems in the galaxy).

"Moving on to drabble number 5..."
"Alliance Police! Nobody move. You are all under arrest for the possession of outrgeously poor puns. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be taken down..."
"Knickers!" Listeri exclaimed.
Static crackled as a taser silenced the shouty man.
"Better add resisting arrest ." said the female police officer with a smirk
"We apologise for the interruption to the program. We hope to..." Fozza started to say from the other studio.
A loud squee could be heard in the background, as Kerrash realised that, for once, his show would start on time.

Teh Best... Again!
Just the image of taking down ol' Winnard with a taser brought a smile to my lips and a tear to my eye.

 

[MrMogadon]

my drabble is also puzzel out of the 21 different films referenced in it only one is the odd one out and why?
will answer after this weeks show............

Is it John Carter, it being set in the past?

 

[STRONTIUM DOG]

Is it John Carter, it being set in the past?

along time ago in a galaxy far far away should answer that

 

[MikeSnos]

Is it John Carter, it being set in the past?

What? The bloke off the BBC's Holiday programme? Weird...

 

[Galactic Midden]

Don't interrupt the broadcast

"Dave do you have it yet?" Celine asks tensely aboard Jupiter 5.
<it's several moments before the low bandwidth carrier returns Dave's replyt>
"I hear it... but it's dim and my equipment's started malfunctioning"
<another long moment passes>

"Is it doing anything int..?"
<bzzztppftzzpurp, a short burst of static obscures Celine words>
"It's just stationary Celine" comes Dave's reply

"Static?"

"No, I can hear you fine"

"I meant, oh nevermind, what does it look like Dave?"

"Hang on, I'll need to get closer"

"NO DAVE! Do not approach, stick to protocol, do not engage"
<bzzztppftzz>

"Dave?"

<pfffffssssssss>
"PUNY HU-MANN... PREPARE!"

OOPS! I'm really sorry Frank. I didn't read this before I posted. I'll happily withdraw my drabble, we can't have Simoof thinking he's popular. He'd probably invent new ways of tormenting all of us

along time ago in a galaxy far far away should answer that

Star Trek!

 

[STRONTIUM DOG]

star trek? that went way over my head in exactly the same way that headphones dont

 

[Frank]

<forlornly looking at the carpet> Nah! Thanks for the offer but 19 or 20 Drabbles doesn't make much of a difference. And I suppose he does deserve a good turnout for the topics because <heavy sigh> they are pretty good. At least there aren't any more than the 20 Drabbles.

I'll just shuffle away off, and erect my poll.

<Shuffles away then back again>
Okay that's the poll done. If you want to go vote you'll find the poll thread <half-hearted point> over here
