The Gordian Job

"It's a simple operation," explained Max, schematics dancing on his AR goggles, "First I need to disengage the lasers around the safe door in the correct order, input the fake biometrics and pick the tumbler lock with these non-conductive pins. Then we put a pressure seal around the door, swing it open, remove the Diamonds, reseal the safe and hurry to the SRV before security realise we were ever on board."

Bernie drew his blaster and shot the safe open.

Dodging laser fire as they dived into the SRV's waiting hatch Max had to admit that Bernie's solution *was* simpler.

A simple plan for a simple man....

God help you all.....I'm back.
...........................................

The plan was simple,

There shouldn't have been problems.... So, why was everyone angry??

The screams of rage grew louder, the sound of flaming torches banging against the doors deafened him...

A pitchfork slammed through the door nearly skewering his head to the panel behind him.

He screamed, a little wee came out...

The lunatic had added 13 zeros to it he bemoaned to himself.

What the hell was I thinking letting that maniac send out the info over the Galnet????

'That's the last time I let Kow announce the pricing structure for the new Och-ulus Rrrrift v69' Palmer wailed.

Meh. I don't like it.
 
That's 1 vote done. :D

T.j!!!!! I've got your 2nd vote for you. ;) (Now everyone can vote for realz without having to worry about placating T.j!) Welcome back.

Funny enough, you were one of the subjects of Snoswell's photo album on Facebook, "Elite: Dangerous Alpha 2.02 memories" just yesterday. Bet you felt that disturbance in the force...

Welcome back T.j.

I have to say, Edith's story "The Gordian Job" is not bad.
 
The meta plan

"The plan is simple, first, we weaken kow's defences by bombarding him with enough puns to give him an
aneurysm, then once his brain has ejected, we smear it over the biometric sensor to get access to his
cargo hold full of mister trees. Next, we make a serum out of what's left of his brain and a few bottles
of 'F&%k Off Cough' and inject it into the Psykoconda's FSD and use it to jump to the Auriga nebula. Then we..."

"Dude, stop, if your plan is longer than a drabble, then it is not by any means 'simple'."

But mine is still better.

Yes, I agree. Why those androus arboreal veggie things have been so poplar is a misery (see, almost wrote it :D) to me. :)

Of Mice and Keyboards

The sign on the large grey imposing building read "MegaCorps Incorporated". Below that was their motto "we will crush your soul". It was going to be a scary job interview.

The bloke who showed Sheila the office afterwards was Gary. He was friendly enough, "Don't tell anyone but we all play 'Excellence: Desperate' on the computers during lunch breaks."

"Aren't you worried your supervisors will find out?"

"Nah! Nothing shows up on the logs. We route the game through a network made from our watches"

"That must've been difficult to set up"

Gary smiled. "Nah! It was a simple LAN"

I've got skills, wotcha gonna do about it.

I sat on the edge of the no-fire zone, waiting for newbs to clear the toast-rack.
Every new pilot would take their first flight here. Coming to terms with basic manoeuvres made them sitting ducks - an easy way to increase your kill rate.
The station birthed a new sidewinder. Clear.
I waited as it slowly moved towards me. Patience.

Slowly it crossed into the danger-zone. I was still unnoticed - good.
My hardpoints deployed. I fired.
*BOOM*
The ship stalking the newb destroyed.
"I've upgraded since you welcomed me months ago."

"Thank-you" the sidewinder blurted.
Then I targeted it.
