A day in the life of Pururu. – By The-Derp-We-Call-Taruru
((Disclaimer. I own nothing. Nothing at all. O3o ))
{{A/N: WELL. I felt the need to write one more chapter before I go to bed. This story is so much fun to write because the chapters are short and funny and to the point. All ya have to do is get into character and act out a scenario in your head. XD
I am starting to run out of scenarios, but it is still fun.
Mister Don Johnny Cadet Sir– Thanks for yet another comment! ;3;
AKABHAWJAD. I would be more than honoured for you to use it in one hundred days! That would make my day! I can't wait to read it! Yaaaay! :D
So this next chapter is a little random. I am out of ideas and it is late(ish) where I am.
By the way. Feel free to add some input for ideas you lovely readers you. It would be appreciated and almost certainly used as long as it is appropriate. B3
Anyway. I hope yall enjoy. }}
Work diary: day 20
Sorry headquarters, I know it has been a few days again, I sometimes just don't have the time to write. Working in an off world platoon is busy! ^^;
It turns out I really should have said something before when I felt like I was still being watched.
Remember the last letter I sent four days ago, about the Seekonjin attack?
I just knew I felt like I was being watched! They were still on the ship!
I wasn't being paranoid after all!
We didn't notice anything the day after, everything went back to being entirely normal. We carried on our lives in the ship as we always did.
In the evening the captain pointed out that the ships power levels were slowly dropping.
We passed it off as nothing. Thought maybe it was just because Taruru kun had put the radio on all afternoon, or because Tororo kun had been charging all three of his laptops at once.
But then suddenly we had a total power cut though in the middle of the night!
…Honestly I don't think I would have noticed. All the lights were off in my room anyway.
I think it was Zoruru san who was the first to find out, apparently he plugs himself into the mains power when he sleeps to charge up his cybernetic side (How strange… You learn something new every day though I guess. V(o-o)v).
He screamed and it woke me up. Apparently if the power goes off suddenly and he doesn't disconnect properly it's quite painful. (vo-o);v
…yeah. I don't understand either.
I'm sure Tororo kun will explain all that kind of stuff to you in his work diary anyway. I'm not familiar with robotics myself.
That's another thing. Tororo kun noticed around the same time too. Apparently he had been in a heated online candy land battle with his "arch enemy" when the power went out, causing him to lose connection. He was pretty mad.
I wonder who his arch enemy is…?
Huh…I guess I still don't know that much about my platoon.
I must remember to get round to having a one on one chat with everyone individually.
I think I will do that tomorrow. Yes.
Oh! Right.
Back to what happened. I got a little carried away there. ^^;
So anyway. A little power cut. No biggie right?
Wrong.
As the "great and intelligent Keron military", I really would have expected you to have come up with a backup generator or something for the ships engines for situations like this. e-e
I didn't notice at first, but turns out we were just barley in the gravitational pull zone of a large nearby planet. The ship started slowly getting pulled towards it. Then not so slowly getting pulled towards it.
Next thing we knew, we were hurtling towards this planet at terminal velocity.
It was terrifying. ;w;
Turns out the Seekonjins had never left, but rather hidden in the shadows and had silently adapted to try and get rid of us in a different way.
These guys are pretty intelligent.
Somehow they got past our security systems and into the main power room, then they cut all the wires connecting the power generator to the ships systems.
So we were hurtling towards a planet, in pitch black darkness, and everyone was freaking out because no-one had any idea what was going on.
Seems like an un-escapable doom right?
Wrooonggggg! :D
Luckily, we have Tororo kun on our team.
I know he's just a tadpole, but wow that kid is smart!
Now I understand how he got into the army so young!
Without him we would have been toast!
Burnt toast, like the toast I make! Haha XD
Garuru san convinced everyone to calm down. He is so calm and collective. He can keep his cool even when it looks like we're about to die!
It's vital to have someone like that on a team. It's what makes him a great leader! :D
He's so brave and sensible and strong and…
Um…so anyway. ^^;
He got Zoruru san to patrol the ship and look for the Seekonjins. Since he has night vision or something?
Again, read Tororo kuns work diary. I don't really listen to all that robot stuff. v(o-o)v
Then he told Taruru kun to use his eye lasers on the titanium wall of the ship. This gave us light to work with in the room and the lasers were not strong enough to melt the titanium, so we were still safe.
Wow…I had no idea anyone could have such impressive lasers though.
I know all Keronjins can do that but…wow. Seriously, you have to see what he can do! It's very impressive.
Then he got Tororo kun to try and figure out a way to fix the ship.
Now. Lemmi just point out that we were traveling at almost light speed, hurtling towards a large planet, being slowly roasted by the atmosphere like being inside a tin can in a microwave, and we were being spun about and thrown around everywhere. (It made me feel really nauseous, I thought I was going to be sick. _ ).
It was not an easy atmosphere to work in.
But somehow Tororo kun managed to build a small manual generator from pen springs, bobby pins, a bottle of water, three double A battery's, a piece of string, some chewed gum, a paper napkin and pizza box.
Don't ask me how he did it. As I said, this kid is a genius! :D
Then he attached it to the outer walls of the ship and used the heat we were generating from moving so fast to power the device.
He managed to get the ship back online just in time!
We flew back out of the gravitational zone without crashing and made it all the way to a re-fuelling planet to get the ship fixed up properly and the Seekonjins arrested! :'D
Even though we were late for our next mission briefing, and didn't really achieve much.
I think we were all really proud of our efforts as a team and the ability to function under a lot of pressure.
We were all especially proud of Tororo kun.
Tonight is movie night and we let him pick the film as a reward even though it wasn't his turn to.
He picked some thingy about machines taking over the universe. I didn't understand most of it, I think Taruru kun fell asleep half way through from boredom and Zoruru san was deeply offended by the plot line to do with robots.
But it was still nice to sit down and spend time with my teammates.
We even ordered pizza! ^^
It was great!
I better go now, it's late and tomorrow is injection day! I have to vaccinate everyone for space Intulpatitias. You know, the disease that causes people to act like zombies for 24 hours. Haha ^^
The next mission is on planet SDIL112 (Snowy desolate ice land #112). They had a recent outbreak of the disease there, it was on the opposite side of the planet to the part we are visiting, but I think its best I vaccinate everyone just to be on the safe side. ^^;
I will update again soon. Again, sorry for the delay headquarters.
Sincerely Pururu~
