goomeister, tired as heck from commanding a battle for 72 hours straight, passes out. If only he'd known about the wolf-pack of destroyer-type vessels descending upon his ship...
goomeister slowly returned to consciousness. He felt as if a 15 ton beam fell on him. He rubbed his head. His hand was covered in yellow blood. Perhaps a 15 ton beam did fall on me, thought goomeister. He noticed he was in a small room. He tried to step through the doorway. The shock sent him flying into the bulkhead.
goomeister woke up again. He activated his personal shield and managed to run through intact. Looking around, he knew instantly that he had been captured and was aboard one of the alien frigates. He grabbed his shockrifle, also behind an energy field, and set it to level 11 (Overloaded). A Gadzair, oblivious to what was going on, was fried as soon as he stepped into the room. Looking around, he found a ventilator shaft.
Soon, he was climbing around vents and maintenance tunnels, blasting all the way. The most spectacular combats were in the mess and the bridge. Both battles required thermal detonators. Soon, though, he was confident that the ship was secured. He looked at tactical layouts of his new ship. A long elipsoid (3D oval) made up the ship's body. A long, round-ended cylinder extended from the rear. Near the end were four fins, arranged in an "X" formation. What seemed like an ordinance pod ended the fins. They must house the engines and heavy-mount weapons, reasoned goomeister. He looked for secondary weapons and found but one. Two huge ion-foci extended from the rear end of the ship's body and mounted along the sides. A large armature connected it to the ship's "tail."
Let's see what this thing can do, thought goomeister. He caught the enemy by surprise, mowing down three full wings of fighters, a squadron of destroyers, nailed some "Scorpions" (goomeister's nickname for the cylindrical ships that carried engines on two, downward angled, front-mounted fins and carring only a single, gigantic ion cannon) and crippled a Carrier (Which was apparantly based on the Voinian Cruiser). goomeister's God-complex was quite satisfied.
It was then that Tapeworm decided to investigate. goomeister noticed.
"Tapeworm!"
"You captured this thing yourself!? And didn't let me do it!? That's my job , dumba**!"
"Hi to you, too."
"You're certainly thourough. No other life aboard. The computer is damaged. It's not overriding my commands, or yours, for that matter."
"Can you restructure the computer network? It'd be helpful to at least be able to communicate."
"No problem. Would you like fries with that?"
"TAPEWORM!!!"
