1987

Johnny was immersed in his game, even wearing a space helmet made of one of Mom's colanders with odd springs and diodes sticking out randomly. In the background, he could hear the "Miami Vice" tune playing while Mom and Dad watched TV.

The tune stopped short and Johnny turned to see what was making his parents upset, an image of a man in a spacesuit came on the TV.

"...tacting Commander John Blackhorn. Please respond. Your assistance is needed immediately. Thargoids are crossing time to attack. Be ready to protect yourself!"

The image shifted to the window. Stars. Or static?

Missed the shot

The firing squad stood to attention, weapons smartly by their sides. The prisoner was led, blindfolded, to stand on the big, stained X in front of the wall.

A drum clattered, building up tension and stopping suddenly as the sentence was read out by Captain Marcaigh.

Simoof stood on the X as the weapons were raised....

"We interrupt this broadcast to.."

The camera feed dissolved into visual and audio static for a few seconds until it reset itself.

On screen a body was being dragged away, seen through a haze of dust and smoke.

"Damn, missed it through the static!"

Live on Aiaaaaagh

In space nothing is truly still.
Planets loop around stars, stars circle around the centre of the Milky Way, which in turn speeds away from the Big Bang.

To the observers on Lave Station the Orange Sidewinder was static, its orbit around the planet and its rotation perfectly matching those of the entrance to the docks it hung a kilometre from.
Relative to the pilot of the shiny new asp boosting out of said dock the Sidewinder was anything but static, rather it was hurtling towards the Asp at 320 km/h.

“Welcome to Lave Radio, live from the Orange Sidewindaaaaahg-”

Docking bay disruption.

The landing bay benign drone of 'musak' stopped!! Sirens wailed, lights flashed and the pre-recorded warning cut in "We interrupt this broadcast... "
Everyone turned to the letterbox to see what was coming their way.


Not unusual for an emergency landing warning to be sounded during their shift, however this one was different. "All emergency trauma teams to docking bay, multiple collisions imminent"


4 ships, none of them with shields engaged or docking permission, came boosting into the bay, all aimed for the back wall.


'Bloody Olympics!! ' he moaned!! 'No consideration for us lot trying to do a normal day's work'.

Just over half the slots filled and only one more day to go. Good to see you've entered this week Alesgriff. Let's have some of the regulars entering. The Topics are "We interrupt this broadcast.. ", and "Static".

Why are you sitting there just reading these words?.. Get to it!

The Unknown Agitator

The scanner played back the soothing hiss of white noise, searching for the signals of unknown artifacts.

Suddenly, a signal, and quite a powerful one too.
A voice - "We interrupt this static to give you... agitation!"
There was a horrendous noise.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

He flipped the scanner off, but it was no help, whatever it was was causing the whole ship to resonate.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Ship systems began to misfunction, he fell out of supercruise.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Five hours of the noise, with no escape.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

He began to screech in harmony with the noise.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Another hour later, he went insane.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The AAAA noise is best reproduced with the following sound clip.

Newsflash!

... you can rely on!

Welcome back to Hutton Orbital Radio, the radio station with a potential million listeners but only five are in the locality!

Over, now, to Jenny Rator for a newsflash!

Thank you Peter. News just in reveals that the 'personality' known as Psykokow is behind an audacious attempt to take over HOR along with Listeri69, Vingtetun and Simoof.

Sources claim that they are attempting to produce a new rare good of such appallingly bad taste even the great Braben's jumpers are put in the shade. Back to you Peter.

Thank you Jenny, and now for some music....

Who's in the Cobra?

The static made communications difficult.

....."Yes."
"I mean the commander's name."
....."Who."
"The commander in the Cobra."
....."Who."
"The name of the commander in the Cobra."
....."Who is in the Cobra."
"Don't ask me!........ What is the commander's name in the Cobra?"
....."No, What's in the Asp."
"Who's in the Asp?"
....."What."
"Who is in the Asp?"
....."What."
"WHO IS IN THE ASP?"
....."WHAT IS IN THE ASP!"
"I don't know."
....."He's in the Viper."
"What?"
....."In the Asp."
"So who's in the Viper?"
....."I don't know."
"Neither do I!.........I don't understand."
....."He's the Anaconda"

Interrupting The Pursuit.

'There behind the asteroid!' the radio cackled turning his viper 80 degrees he had camouflaged well in the cobra
He let out a cursive, they had followed his signal through 6 systems now and he was running dangerously low on fuel no time to scoop from the sun.
If he could just split up the wing he knew he could take them.
He saw a fer-de-lance, a rogue asteroid screamed across the path, the moment had arrived.
'He's Right there get him' screamed the viper pilot
Radio static answered his pursuer
one down he thought as his engines revved up....

Hang the DJ

"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.

Minority Report. The rest are connected to space travel in some way, Minority Report is about predicting future events, nothing to do with space travel.

Is the answer Debbie does Dallas because none of the others feature . (I think that word might be removed by the censor board.)

I think it's Minority report as well. Pacific Rim never left the planet either, but it did have an alien invasion. My guess is Aliens.
