22nd November 2024 Writings

 

22nd

 

Excerpt from: Genie Universe Continuity Reboot

‘Why has this turned into a wild goose chase?’ she asked herself.

 

“I wished it to South Dubbo,” Mel said in a regretful tone.

 

“He’s lying! He hid it somewhere in this house. I’m going to search the attic for it,” Dennis said. He still didn’t believe what Mel was saying. ‘She is trying to trick me away from here,’ he thought.

 

 

“Nicola and Mel, I suggest you lock Dennis in the shed,” Daniel said. He thought that having Dennis running around Dubbo was a bad idea, given the current situation.

 

“That seems rather extreme!” Anna Marie said.

Excerpt from: Difficulty of Shortcuts

Escape Pod 14

“A shuttle has left the wormhole,” Katelyn reported.

 

“I’m reading a Vulcan lifesign,” Daniel said.

 

“I can explain why we were doing what we're doing, even if he would anticipate my answer.”

 

“True, but he will help us retake Kathiannah. Maintain pursuit course.”

 

 

Voyager

Voyager exited the wormhole, and just in time.

 

“The wormhole is changing position,” Kim reported.

 

“Mr. Paris, resume course for the Ixaroan Homeworld.”

 

“Aye, Captain.”

 

“I'll be in the ready room.”

 

 

Escape Pod 14

Daniel and Katelyn were approaching Kathiannah.  “Tuvok is hailing again,” Katelyn reported.

 

“We may as well answer him,” Daniel said.

 

“Sure. This is Ensign Hawkins.”

 

You disobeyed Captain Janeway's orders,” Tuvok stated. “And there is the fact that you modified an escape pod without permission.

 

“Yes, we admit that,” Katelyn said.

 

But now we must plan how to re-take Kathiannah from the terrorists. As I am the ranking officer, I am in command.”

 

“No doubt about that,” Daniel said.

 

Tuvok raised an eyebrow, but didn't respond to his sarcasm. “I know you added phasers to the pod as well as the warp drive. We shall force the aft shields down. I can land in the shuttle bay while you dock.

 

“We were planning on that,” Katelyn said.

 

Two vessels would be better than one.”

 

 

Kathiannah

“The two small vessels are almost in weapons range.”

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn

“Ready?” Jane asked.

 

“Of course,” SpiderGirl said. “I’ll take you first.”

 

“No, take Kalina first,” Jane said. “Then we can proceed in order of abduction.”

 

“Why?” Ninja Talon asked.

 

Jane shrugged her shoulders.

 

“OK, Kalina!” SpiderGirl said. “Before Beck knows what we’re doing.”

 

“Right!” Kalina said. She walked over, grabbed onto the superheroine and closed her eyes. “Now!”

 

“Not so tight!” SpiderGirl said. “Here we go.”

 

 

SpiderGirl swung, and Kalina’s scream, along with the thunder, almost overwhelmed her.

 

She set her down on the roof. “Ow! My hearing is enhanced, you know!”

 

Kalina huddled on the roof, shivering in the rain, her eyes remaining closed. “Sorry, I didn’t know.”

 

“I’ll get Oliver.”

 

 

Ninja Talon looked out the window as she waited for SpiderGirl to come back. A flash of lightning and she saw Dafoanairi approaching. ‘That’s going to make things interesting,’ she thought. She still didn’t think she was Daria. She glanced at where Jane was guarding the door.

 

 

Dafoanairi saw SpiderGirl swing back into the room. She looked up at where the critic was huddling on the roof. ‘I have to get there,’ she decided. She looked at where the Enigma was still battling the traps. ‘Just as well these Doc Martins are waterproof,’ she thought, as she was wearing her usual boots, which were easy to hide with the cloak. She then realised that the rope had run out. ‘Just as well I have a spare.’

 

 

“Ok, Oliver,” SpiderGirl said.

 

“I’m coming, I won’t scream.”

 

He then held on and they swung up.

 

 

Kalina was afraid and soaked. She winced as another peal of thunder crashed in around her. She was afraid to open her eyes, to see the height she was at. She then heard SpiderGirl land with Oliver. “OK, I’ll get the other critic and Talon will come with Jane.”

 

“Be quick!” Kalina said. “I want out of this rain.”

 

“I’ll be as quick as I can,” SpiderGirl quipped, before she swung back down.

 

Oliver than tried to take one of her hands, but she swatted it away. “Leave me alone!”

 

 

The Enigma came up to the door and pushed it in telekinetically. “Quentin Beck! You, like, have made me mad!”
