(This is a webboard version of that game where a group of people get together and each of them makes up one or 2 lines continuing a story. It has been tried out on the EV webboards, and I'd like to give it a go here.)
The Gaitori cruiser accelerated away hurredly, dodging and weaving as best it could...
but unfortunately Gaitori Cruisers can't accelerate, weave, or dodge, so it was hit squarely in the rear...

"Once, just once, I'd like to be able to land somewhere and say, 'Behold, I am the Archangel Gabriel.'"
"I fail to see the humor in that situation, Doctor."
"Naturally. You could hardly claim to be an angel with those pointed ears, Mister Spock. But say you landed someplace with a pitchfork "
...with a concussion missle and a mess of fusion pulses and pk beams from the Ishiman HVC pursuing it.

"What sort of man is he?"
"Oh, he's just like any other man, only more so."

(Cicion, you can bring the Phylydian into my RPG, as may anyone with geniune ideas and the RPG's best interests at heart.)
...The HVD turned around full-on thrusters blasting it 180 degrees in mere seconds. Heck, with the impending fleet looming up before it, it would need all the firepower it could get...
so it hardly noticed the Gaitori Cruiser turning into a bowl of Petunias
(I should hope most of you get the reference)
...which thought "Oh, no, not again" as it plummeted toward the planet below...
(Thanks, CA. Of course, I really don't know what's going on in the RPG, so if you could give me a quick summary I'd be much obliged.)
(Make sure you read all the posts in 'Try Again' and in the new chapter, then download SETR multiplayer edition lite, and modify the levels for single player for help in writing RPG battles. Other than that, read the readme's on Earth Quest Resubmitted, and SETR multi.)
The bowl of petunias crashed into the stratosphere. Meanwhile, the human vessels were closing on the Ishiman HVD. It fired it's fullerene rapidly, and a gunship blew up...

Points out he was never referring to the HVC turning into an HVD, the HVD is a totally different ship on another side of the solar system, which proceeded to make for the jumpgate...
The alarmed HVD jumped to lightspeed and made for the HVC, which was finishing off the rest of the Gaitori convoy. Bang!
The HVD hit the HVC. The resulting explosion...
------------------
'Is that what I think it is?'
'What?'
'A big orange swirly thing in space!'
Was extremely large. Seeing the destruction of the HVD and HVC, the incoming human fleet made for the jumpgate, which was of course defended by the Grolk!
The human fleet engaged in close combat with the grolk fleet. The grolk, clearly outnumbered, tried to retreat...
Began to blast away the asteroids. The main flagship of the human fleet, the UNS Purple, was hit by a nastiroid...
