| Stardate-Nine-blue-cheese-spinach (continued) Once on the ship, Captain Kenny ran straight to the bridge of the Mongoose, while orange and red lights were blinking and beeping all around him. He was panting hard, once he reached his chair, and fell down into it with the plop. A bridge crewmember came over to him, squirted some water in his mouth, and held out a bucket for him to spit into. �All right Not-Scotty, what�s going on here?� Not-Scotty was working furiously at his station, pushing buttons and seemingly figuring out something important. �It�s like I said Captain, the planet is imploding due to lack of critical thought.� �How is that possible?� Demanded the captain. Commander Casio came walking through a door to the right of the bridge, carrying a chart and easel. He set it up in front of the sightscreen, and pulled out a pointer from his sleeve. �I think I can explain that Captain. You see, while we were trapped in the chamber with the nothing gateway opened, the Repubian�s began to use their special powers. As you know, their powers are those of illogical thinking. It is my theory that with the combined power of idiocy and nothingness, they have started a cascade effect that is pulling the planet in on itself, and thusly forming a black hole.� With this, Casio nodded to another crewmember, who pushed a button on turned on the sightscreen. What came into view both intrigued and horrified Captain Kenny. The planet was indeed folding in on itself, as well as the space surrounding it. �Well, I think the negotiations were a success, don�t you agree Mr. Smiley?� �Oh yes Captain, this one ended much better than the ones before it.� Everyone around the bridge nodded their heads in agreement, a slight murmur of approval present in the air. A small applause erupted, with someone whistling at catcalling at the captain. Captain Kenny stood up, and took several bows. �Yes, yes, thank you. Now, it appears that our work here is done�so lets shove off. Not-Scotty, warp twenty please�engage!� Not-Scotty punched a couple of buttons and the engines hummed to life, building in a crescendo to the typical high pitched hum, which would normally be followed by a loud crack and send them speedily through space, but no loud crackling noise came this time. Instead, the high-pitched noise remained, and seemed to be amplifying every second. �What�s going on Not-Scotty?! I said get this heap a moving.� He picked up a squirt gun and began shooting the man in the back of the head with water. �Bad Not-Scotty, bad boy!� Commander Casio interrupted the captain�s disciplinary tactics, by stepping between Not-Scotty and the stream of water. �Actually Captain , there was a 99.8% chance that trying to use the engines would further speed up the formation of the black hole, and we would inevitably be sucked into the swirling vortex of nothing.� �And you didn�t tell me this, why?� Captain Kenny held the squirt gun tightly in his hand. �Because I do not report anything unless there is a 100% chance that it will occur.� Captain Kenny rolled this over in his head. �So that�s why you tell me absolutely nothing, until after its happened?� The android nodded his head in conformation. �Hmm.� Kenny began squirting Casio in the face, �Bad android, bad!� �Um, Captain, look�� Not-Scotty pointed at the sightscreen. The planet had almost fully folded in on itself, and a bright white flash began occurring in the small area the planet was still hiding from view. Kenny threw the squirt gun at the screen, then stomped his right foot, while holding his arms rigid. �Oh! Son-of-a-hoover!� With that, a blinding flashed stretched out past the ship, and pulled all it touched into the black hole, leaving space that curiously resembled President Shrub�s intellect. Yeah�nothing. |
