Covert Cargo
The Sidewinder rocked wildly on its way through the asteroid belt.
Followed by two heatseeker missiles the pilot did well weaving wildly enough to lose their lock.
A Shriek rang out from deep within his ship, his precious cargo might be damaged.
He quickly found some dark space to slow to a halt before flicking a switch to set the ship to silent.
Jumping out of his seat he ran to the cabin in the cargo bay, where a woman soaked from head to toe stood angrily.
“Hide in the Toilet!” she snapped “I Flushed”
“oh, I’d disabled the cistern”

Cistern Malfunction
Warning: This was supposed to be for last weeks DISABLED SYSTEMS Drabble Contest, but I was silly and didn't see/read the timestamp. I will be partaking in the next one (hopefully before it closes).

The pilot narrowly made out of the vicious fight against the Cutter with plenty of scarring on his shiny new Cobra Mk-IV. A gurgling noise starts emanating from his stomach, he knew he shouldn’t have bought the big gulp from the shady spaceship stop. Rushing to the restroom he smelt the problem before he saw it. Rounding the corner he notices an ominous red light above the doorframe. System malfunction. Horrified he decided to forgo the system and used the cargo hold. He cunningly mused, “the maintenance crews are going to have plenty to clean up when he gets home.”

Ok I pick the topic of BATTLE.
Bat L (See what I did there? Bat L - Battle ... I'll get my coat)
Another week over, and another drabble topic to write for.
Darks Town knew he'd be mocked on Fry Day and decided to stay away.
Cycle Cow was furiously peddling, trying to keep his head above water.
The twin names Cy-Mon and Cy-mooph conspired to out-do each other with ty in-you-end-o
Phrank submitted another winning drabble, much to the annoyance of A-Leon, who was still struggling to beat Two-Votes-Tee-Jay
All of them wondering if they could be the best at that week's topic, as chosen by Batty Lemon, or Bat L to his friends.
And that, was when they killed Cy-mooph.

The Fandabeedozie Mystery Potato
They were a vast array of warships, almost like snowflakes in a black night if they weren't fixed in such a regimented pattern. They faced a similarly impressive fleet.
On the bridge of a ship, the admiral's command crackled over the comms "Let battle commence."
Tears streaked down the young helmsman's face as he engaged thrusters. He bleated "HULL!"
The captain not wanting to disturb the helmsman, pointed to the back of his head and mouthed "Is he from Hull?"
An officer explained "He's trying to say 'hell' but he's not very good at it. It's his bad 'hell' cry."

“First Battle Last” - AliJax
At 75 earth years the commander of “The Glorious Shoelace” laden with a cargo of beer was winding through the Pilates Nebula with the nimbleness of a teenager removing his girlfriend’s bra, she was however unimpressed.
The Viper had followed the payload as soon as the sidewinder left the Faulcon DeLacey showroom “all too easy for me” said the Pirate, “I’ve seen this fumbling before” she mused.
As the Interdiction took hold of its pray the Commander furious at his inability, submitted and faced the low life scum. They exchanged lasers, cannon fire and met head on - only one escaped.

"Arrrr, alright ye filthy Hutton trucker, yer onionhead or yer life."
The pirate looked on at the Type 9 sitting pretty in space.
The commlink cracked to life; "I'm afraid you picked the wrong trucker to rob, Ensign, you know what to do"
"Aye sir"
He raised an eyebrow, suddenly, 6 eagles jumped in.
"Battle Cattle have has deployed sir" the ensign's voice came through
Six eagles, each with a Psykokow clone going moooo!
Eighteen pulse lasers began hammering the pirate's ship.
"Curse ye, and ye battle cattle, i'll be back for me onionhead!"
The pirate jumped out, suitably chastised.

The Real Battle of Hutton
The Battle of Hutton is still talked about, not proudly but in hushed whispers in the hangers, in the storage areas and around the gin dispensers.
They speak of sacrifice, emotions and the horrible violence that descended on this once quiet outpost.
These tales are not of pirates being sent packing by heroic truckers determined to make their deliveries at all costs nor of ships fighting until their bulkheads come apart and were lost into the atmosphere of Eden.
The Real battle of Hutton where the most blood was shed was the broadcasting room where the radio playlists were decided.

And we all know who were the real losers of that battle.
