WHO: Pupuhed
WHERE: Deck 5, Suid Sidal

Pupuhed has his hands full, literally. He is grabbing a gun in one hand and struggling with a tentacle with the other. The quintaquid is not strong enough to lift the Romulon but it can certainly drag him closer. The quid wraps even more tentacles around him and ties up his torso, legs, and arm all at once. Pupuhed is revolted as he is slowly pulled towards that gaping maw lined with countless needlelike teeth.

To make matters worse, the captain has been counting his shots and he knows he only has one round left. Although the quid is badly wounded now the captain doesn't think he can kill it with his last bullet. So he holds his fire and waits. He waits for the monster to draw him nearer to it.

Pupuhed knows he will need to get real close and shoot a vital area. He surmises that the sensitive area behind one of it's ugly eyes might kill it. But it would take getting the shot placed there before he is eaten alive.

The podquid pulls the captain right up to its open mouth and looks to bite Pupuhed's face right off. At this range the smell of the thing's breath is almost unbearable. The captain uses all his strength to transfer the gun to his free arm and then places it into position right up against the side of the podquid's head.

Then the monster's head explodes.

The thing goes down in a sloppy mess and the startled captain is released. But it wasn't him who fired. As he slumps to his knees from fatigue he wipes the podquids blood from his eyes and looks around. He is relieved to see the marines have finally arrived. Lollipoppy himself is still aming the MAD rifle that killed the thing,

Pupuhed: (out of breath) "Glad you finally saw fit to make it here. Nice shot."

Lollipoppy: "Reporting as ordered captain. Where is the general?"

Pupuhed: "In this room."

Lollipoppy: (with anticipation in his voice) "Do you want him alive?"

The captain has already decided he will not take any more chances with this general who has a knack for surviving.

Pupuhed: "Pramie has probably already killed him. But if not, I want the bastard DEAD. Then I will skin him and dip him in agonizer fliuds."

The big marine smiles inside his fusion powered suit. "Done."

Lollipoppy orders the rest of the marines to take up defensive positions in the corridor as he heads towards the room Gorak is in taking three of the APEs with him.

Yeah, Gorak is in a bad way alright.

He is down, hurt bad, alone, practically weaponless, with 3 dozen space marines right outside the door moving in to kill him.

The ship is also half eaten, no shields, no cloak, with fed ships in the area just waiting to see what happens next before blowing it to bits.

Oh yeah, and the insane Pupuhed is ready to skin his corpse and then dip it in agonizer fuilds. Gorak is having a bad day.

Will he survive the marines? Will he ever get control of the ship again? Will his ship escape the feds? Will he need another shower when all this is done? Better yet, will he ever dance the Macaraina again? Stay tuned...
