Steem Wars Episode 4: Calamity Abounds

in #steemwars7 years ago (edited)


The trouble with being a Time Lord is that you don't need a good memory: if you want to recollect something, you just travel back in time. Despite having a spare brain, Dr. Muxx rarely used both to full capacity.


Little did he suspect that when he powered up his old creation, the AI system called Muxxybot, that he would hold a grudge for two and a half millennia and plot not only humanity's downfall but the subjugation of the entire universe. Still, it was nice to have company again, even one with homicidal tendencies.



Princess KatLe'a - @katrina-ariel - pulled the Maverick Dawn into a mounting maneuver and docked suggestively with Captain Trickle's Dronefly, before being informed of Dr. Muxx's mission for the crew. Finally, somebody from the Dronefly crew is attempting to follow orders...



Meanwhile, in a lavatory far, far away, Bounty Hunter Kaber Tauss - @dbzfan4awhile took care of his morning ablutions before attending to an attack on The Darth's vessel. Overrun by small 'pink light saber' wielding cat-like creatures, they soon dispatched their foes. Self-satisfaction quickly dissipated however as their ship was captured by a giant green pickle belonging to the Dill-Lick empire.



Princess KatLe'a proved to be the most dependable of the Dronefly crew by actually getting to her mission, a meeting with a Xirpaq delegation on Whoopass 5. A giant disco ball-shaped space station welcomed the Maverick Dawn, it's landing bay decorated with shag carpet on the walls and floors. Parties in full swing, the Princess soon discovered she would have to get down to 'business'.



The ship's computer, R2-BEX2 - @bex-dk announced the crew's arrival in the ZZzzzzzqqww quadrant. The lack of precise coordinates from the Good Doctor confounded their search for the elusive sale. Jay unhelpfully offered to write a sonnet.



UndiesLord Nevertiger - @negativer - took out his frustrations on a toaster bot. Distracted, he failed to notice the approach of breastmobiles packed with mustachio'd hipsters on their way to do battle in the nearby city. That plan, however, was misplaced as the city promptly, and without due consideration to all involved, exploded.



Also on planet three of the Quadrangular Quadrant, Sixty-Wine - @caleblailmusik - joined Galactlactator Tingle - @tanglebranch - who naturally ordered everyone about. Byepeex and Juavez-7 were to go pants shopping. Sixty-Wine was to procure a lab technician, while the Galacpotato herself would search for the missing Negatator.



Princess KatLe'a couldn't have been more on the ball if she sat on a ball stuffed full of balls. Determined to make this compilation post, she prepared for erotic disco combat with a rather tall, buff, and well sculpted Xirpaq.


Join us next week as these thrilling (?) stories continue. Will Captain Trickle ever get off her ass? Will Negavader lighten up? Just who is the mysterious Lain Dakota and will he ever write anything? Will Muxxybot blow a fuse? Why are all the bots in these stories psychotic? Will Dr. Muxx give it all up as a bad job and retire back into history? Find out none of these answers next week!


Until next week, may the Steem be with you.

Will YOU answer the call? Steem Wars is a community-wide event to encourage writing, mutual support, and blockchain interactions. Who knows, perhaps a friendship or two might form. Anybody can take part, form crews or go it solo. Not a writer? No problem. Artists and poets depicting Steem Wars stories are welcome to join in too. Visit The Writers' Block Discord server and ask for access to Steem Wars. And above all, remember to have fun! There are no rules, any sci-fi franchise can be 'appropriated' and mashed up, although please make them parodies rather than fan fiction. See the original proposal for Steem Wars here.

What a great summary. Although I feel like my story summary implies that my story is mostly like The Last Jedi. Stuff happens, but nothing important, and nothing that actually matters.

Other than the city blowing up, which I didn't have any involvement in.

Maybe I need more erotic disco-ball scenes!

Um....no, just no.

I actually suggest avoiding disco space stations if you can help it. Surfing is much better. I heard there's a party on the Sri Sea, which should be fun. And remember, if you're hitchhiking away from exploding cities, be sure you have your towel—er... toaster.

Are you calling me and Seven psychotic?

Um....yes(?)

I mean no, of course...maybe. Not at all, I meant Muxxybot.

I didn't

Of course I am a ship AI, not a bot, and 7 is an advanced android, so.... but it still sounded a wee bit suspicious on first read. ;-)

Innocent

Really? Hmmm...
