One Sentence IC Story

[Primus Pilus]

"Damn, somebody must have fungal spiked my Centauri bubbly", Zeiter proclaims, "and who the hell are you"? as he gazes at the nubile Gaian (censored)...

[Zeiter]

His eyes suddenly coming into focus, Zeiter quickly added, "Er, oh, it's you, my love...yes, it was a very frightening dream...I think that cold draft has been bothering me in my sleep." as he slid deeper under the covers.

[Maniac]

Zeiter had only just slid under the covers, when suddenly the door to the bedroom was slammed open and a Spartan officer entered.

[Zeiter]

Out of habit, Lt. Col Maniac yelled "What the HELL is going on here?" before seeing the beautiful Gaian woman on the bed and adding "Oh, excuse me, Miss but...uh...I was just trying to find Zeiter and tell him that he's wanted in the covert ops room ASAP, so if you happen to see him, you can give him that message."

[Kassiopeia]

Meanwhile, Kassiopeia sat back in his chair sipping xenocoffee at the Covert Ops room and thought back to how they managed to exfiltrate from Gaian territory, and even bring back some nubile Gaian [censored] along with them - ah, the simple pleasures of life.

[Zeiter]

The Gaian beauty looked at Zeiter in awe and wonder, and longingly wispered "Oh no, do you think this mission is going to be dangerous?"

[Kassiopeia]

"Certainly dear, but do not worry, there's nothing on this planet that could keep me from coming back to you."

[Googlie]

And Lt Colonel Googlie, his epaulettes still crisp and golden-hued from his recent promotion, looked across at Major Kassiopeia and inquired:

"And what are you grinning so wickedly about ............ it's got naught to do with that crate of Gaian blow-up sex dolls we intercepted, is it?

[Kassiopeia]

Kassiopeia snapped to attention: "Of course not, sir, I was just reminiscing how we managed to wiggle ourselves out of Gaian territory, surrounded by thousands of search patrols for the first two hundred miles of the trip, using only chewing gum, shoe strings and fungus spores, and of course the blow-up dolls - I wonder if anyone bothered to mention to Zeiter that while they're almost like the real thing, even talk and interact and everything, that they're not really... real?"

[Googlie]

Googlie's eyes misted over as he thought about that episode now referred to as "The Crate Escape" when they had intercepted the slow-moving gaian tramp steamer but in turn had been nudged by the Isle of the Deep, traumatizing the crew and leaving the officers stranded on the Gaian shoreline with just their Morgan Nike-clone runners, some boxes of chewing gum that they'd been hoping to trade to the Gaians to fix the cracks on their ancient Unity Rovers ........... and the crate of blow-up dolls

[Zeiter]

Out of story comment: Wow, these self-aware machines sure are getting advanced!

"Oh, don't go, my hero, oh please, how I desire to KILL YOU...I mean, be kissed and ravished by you!"

[Googlie]

Out-of-story reply - think of yon movie "Cherry 2000"

Meanwhile, back at Gaia's Landing, Professor Darsnan, the architect of the advanced AI, listened to the intercepts now feeding into his neural receptors and guffawed

BWAHAHA ............ BWAHBWAHAHAH !!

[Kassiopeia]

Major Kassiopeia looked at the monitors on the walls and noticed something peculiar about a certain reading in a certain screen that detailed the output of a frequency analyzer installed in the room in case someone would try to eavesdrop on them using a Gaian half-sentient nubile blow-up [censored] some day - clearly the Spartans had a contingency for any situation.

[Googlie]

Lt Colonel Googlie's eyes followed those of Major Kassiopeia to the screen, where, observing the activity spike, he leapt to his feet and yelled:

"By Chiron, it's the Colonel .......... she's out of her coma"

and rushed from the room in the greates haste

[Kassiopeia]

Kassiopeia looked at the screen and also noticed the electroencephalogram's graph jumping up and down most perkily, and this certainly distracted him from the reading that might have exposed to him Professor Darsnan's nefarious plot ahead of schedule.
