Rude Awakenings

Rude Awakenings

I do not own space cases... blah blah blah

"What now.", Asiega mumbled as the noise from the alarm system finally pierced through the depths of her sleeping mind.
"What is it usually!", reta yelled from the other side of the room.

Curse those ears, Asa thought as she finally convinced herself to get up. The others were on their way out of the room after a ten sec. primping, and she followed not really caring what she looked like. It wasn't like she had anyone to impress, and besides, Nublians don't bother with things like that.

When they got to the command post they found the expected culprit. Dullivan. He was the instructor to the little group of misfits and had found after two years out in space with them that anything could be a threat. So everytime he saw anything... off went the alarm. They had all gotten used to it by now though. He was a neurotic. So his response to their discussed looks didn't surprise her one bit.

"Why children, what are you doing up?"
"DULLIVAN!!!", everyone screamed simultaneously. Well except for Asa.
"Im sorry children, you can go back to sleep now if you want-"
"Why thank you ever so!", heather blurted out. She believed highly in the value of beauty sleep.
"-it's just that i thought i saw a ship."
"You saw a WHAT?!?", Commander Burmington exclaimed as he walked in to the command post. He had been in one of the many storage rooms on the Reecitar, which just happened to be on the other side of the ship.
"Oh... i well... a ship, commander."
"A SHIP!!! Commander we HAVE to hail them.", Heather cried out.
"Yeah, we haven't been off of this ship in 7 months!" Chris wined.
"Oh no! I don't think so. There is no way i'm going to allow-"
"Dullivan! i seem to have forgotten when you became the commander of this ship. I am capable of taking care of this ship as well as the crew on it."
"Well i was just-"
"about to hail that ship?!"
"Oh whatever! Just don't get us killed!"
And with that the command post erupted with cheers.

Meanwhile, on a ship that we all know as the Christa, Bova was at the helm (still), Harlan had been scheduled to come and take over at 02:00 but as usual, he never showed. Bova was obsorbed in a conversation with himself. It was the usual, "Why doesn't anyone care about me?" convo. Just that day he had been forgotten about by everyone. Rosie and he were playing some old earth board game, when Suzee came in and asked if she would help her with something. Harlan and Rahi were asked to help Commander Goddard all day. Davenport tried to make him feel better... By assigning him busy work. Fun. It didn't hide the fact that he had no one to talk to. He was going to keep up with his train of thought when a signal from Rosie's station caught his attention.

As he read over the data, he found that they were receiving a message. After reading over the message once, commander Goddard came in.
"Bova i though Harlan would be here, didn't i assign him this time slot?"
"Yeah you did. We received a message commander."
"What! Let me see that.", as he read Bova could tell that he was excited by the possibilities that lied a head of them. "Bova, Go get Ms. Davenport. Tell her it is important."

On his way to her domain, Bova thought over the new prospect. There were people who wanted to speak with them. After 6 months of talking to no one but who was on the Christa, they were all a little tired of one another. Bova however, was even more tired of everyone, because of the way he was treated.

He rung the bell to get her attention and then waited as she finally came to answer the door, accompanied by the sounds of her knocking things over and mumbling to herself.
"Who is it?"
"It's just me. Commander Goddard wants you on the command post, we got a message from another sh-"
He was nearly knocked over by the flying feet of the crazed teacher.
"Now why didn't i see that comming?", he said as he followed her back to where goddard was reading over the message for the 12th time.
"What on earth is this i hear about a message from another ship?!", Davenport questioned him as she ran in.
"Just what it sounds like, we recieved a message from a ship!" *this is getting too redundant*
Soon everyone was buzzing about the message.
"All right, All right, so how do we respond.", Goddard asked, trying to get them all organized.
"Tell them we want to meet them! We definitely need to talk to other people.", Radu said.
"Yeah, i don't care if their slime covered mutants, i'll talk to them.", Harlan added.
"Commander, i really don't think this is a good idea.", Davenport said *she had to squeeze that in didn't she. Yeah, well it wouldn't be a real story unless i added the davenport "charm" would it?*
"T.J., don't worry, i don't intend to go into this blind.", he replied trying to reasure her. "Rosie, prepare to send a message."

As they all focused thier attentions on meeting eachother, they were absolutely unaware of the trouble was flying torwards them in the shape of a Spung killcruser. *DUM DUM DUM*
Please stop by for the next chapter of Rude Awakenings when we will find out...
