Aye slowly rose up from the floor, holding Kaikoura gingerly to keep her from getting any more damaged than she already was. TKC, on the other hand, regarded this as some sort of fun-house, laughing as the ship jostled. Rink didn't seem confident about the movements from the ship and Aye wasn't thrilled either. From the current hum resonating through the walls, they must have been in Hyperspace or similar equivalent. However, a sound that Aye had not been expecting to hear was a most pleasant chime over the intercom followed by a sweet voice.
"Will all crew please report to the bridge. Repeat, will all crew please report to the bridge."
The voice was followed by a trail of lights coming to life on the walkway below seeming to lead the way through the corridors. Aye and Rink's gaze met briefly before starting to follow the trail. Without knowing where the medical bay was, they could at least use the computers in the Bridge to find it. Aye continued to hold Kaikoura as they followed the lights, Rink cautiously following and TKC skipping and singing.
"Light path, light path! Where oh where will you go?"
After a brief walk through the corridors and up an elevator, they reached the bridge. The sheer size of the room was overwhelming, seeming to stretch out seamlessly into space which occupied the far wall and ceiling. Near the entrance, there was a long holotable lined with a dozen padded chairs and an ornate captain's chair at the center. Just past that was the main computer console where the pilot would sit and eight other head engineers. Past the main console was a sharp drop and below were lines and lines of additional consoles, gauges and mechanics. In all, the room was fit for a crew of over two hundred people and with standing room for near a thousand.
Taeg and Sarthog were at the main console. Taeg had placed himself in the pilot's chair, operating the ship like it was as natural as walking while Sarthog was taking a swig from a flask. He looked up as the four walked in and screwed the cap to his flask on.
"Took ye long enough."
"What is going on?" Rink said as he took in the room.
"Fate waits for no man," Taeg bellowed. "But she sure can be picky. Wouldn't start without you, she says. But you know how impatient Ned can be when the kangaroos know what's cooking. It sets a precedent!"
The ship must have detected the last of the living crew had entered the bridge as the doors sealed behind them and the lights dimmed. The holotable began to initialize as beams of light rose up from it's surface and melded together into what was finally recognizable as a human bust, twice the normal height of a man. His face was beaming with a smile below his well-kept hair and above his finely-cut purple suit. He began to speak, his loud voice booming over the intercom as if he were addressing the room filled to it's capacity.
"What a fine crew! A fine, fine crew. It is not every century a man can see his dreams lifting off into space, but if it is to be in anyone hands, it is good to know that each and every one of you will assure it's safe voyage."
As the voice spoke, it looked over the empty seats, attempting to inspire courage in the phantoms that may have occupied them.
"I'm a man who needs no introduction, but it is your commanding officers that deserve the highest praise now. Please stand, Captain Barkuze."
A light came down from the ceiling, highlighting a portion of the floor where an inspiring individual may have stood.
"Captain Gruffdain."
Another spotlight beamed down to nothing.
"And finally, my dear son, Admiral Averis."
A series of six sizable lights all came on, basking a wall in their glow.
"These brave men will be your commanders, your mentors, your fathers and mothers throughout your nine-hundred-year voyage. As you fly from planet to planet, city to city, you will hold yourself proudly as the great flagship of your world! You will show the galaxy that it is through strength and determination that all is possible! You will be the emissaries to the Universe, you brave souls! It is with the greatest pride that I salute you!"
A hand materialized into the hologram, lifting up as if the bust were saluting the room stiffly and then lowered out of view.
"Now, since I won't be joining you on your voyage, I leave you in the capable hands of your commanding officers and GIB. Bon Voyage!"
In a flourish of lights, the head vanished and the lights returned to normal.
"What was that?" Sarthog asked, only to have Taeg cut in.
"Shhh! You'll miss the best part, she says with urgency."
The holotable lit up again but instead of a human head, it seemed to be of an indeterminate race. It had short, purplish fur, but with gray spots running down what appeared to be gills. It had the nose and chin of what resembled that of a human's, but with blue Anai draping down from it's head and dog-like ears. Unlike the last hologram, this one appeared to be aware of it's surroundings and looked at the small, assembled group.
"Hello everyone. I am GIB: Gestalt Intelligent Being and like it or not, I am the most intelligent person here."

"Hello everyone. I am GIB: Gestalt Intelligent Being and like it or not, I am the most intelligent person here."
Well he's got that right. *Sarthog then took a drink. he couldnt help feel that being on a ship was familiar to him. like he has been on them before. several different ones. Each with their own unique abilities and flaws. though Sarthog couldnt help feal that someone he knew would never admit to any flaws on his ship. Sarthog came out of his thought pattern by Taeg.*
None needed thanks i have already eaten. So dont get you're pants discolored cow
*Sarthog looked down at his legs and got a shocked looked on his face* Son of a bitch i am wearing pants. how did that happen *Sarthog removed his pants only to reveal another pair of pants. he then removed that pair. revealing another pair he continued removing layer of pants after pants till he passed out for the first time with out being completely and utterly drunk.*
Isn't he technically a son of a bitch. you know because he is a dog.
Shhh... She is about to talk again

Space slowly drifted by on all sides of them. Though many used to traveling the Black would have thought this particular view boring, Kaikoura was entranced.
She had, of course, traveled in space before -short jumps between two seedy locations where Gartik had business to take care of. Each trip was a mixed blessing for her, as she had never once made it through without trouble. There was something about the Black that brought out her least desirable slave qualities, and she would never make it through a trip without a bruise or two. Despite that, she remembered each trip as though it were a magical holiday, and always yearned to go back.
Kai wriggled until Aye finally put her down. The floor was cold on her feet, and she imagined she could feel the hum of the engines flow up into her.
"Kaikoura well?"
Yes, sir. Thank you. she replied. She wandered slightly away from him, and didn't need to sense him to pick up on the confusion he suddenly felt.
"Ahem" came the voice from the floating head again, a personable, though irritated tone. "I hate to bother the lot of you, but there are a few things I think need to be cleared up."
"Where are we?"
For a moment, she couldn't believe she'd said it out loud. Even now, before the sound had completely left her mouth she regretted speaking aloud "Why? Gartik could be galaxies away." but she did get like this in the Black "You have a right to ask. To know." so she'd have to let it slide.
"I couldn't begin to hazard a guess" GIB replied. "But if I had to take a shot at it, that is to say, if you put me up against a wall and demanded an answer, I'd have to say..."
the assembled group seemed to hold their breath in anticipation.
"That I couldn't even begin to guess."
Kai rolled her eyes as she turned back to the endless blackness all around her. From behind them, little fiery chunks of a familiar asteroid that had been pulled through the jump with the ship whizzed by like dying fireworks.

Aye drooped his ears in disappointment, trying to puzzle how a ship could lose where it was in an instant. He scanned his brain, remembering the many years he spent stowing away on ships and all that he had learned by observing the crew members.
"Starchart check?" he asked.
The floating head huffed and rolled his eyes, "Like that wasn't the FIRST thing I checked. But considering how the cosmos are constantly moving, a starchart is completely useless if you don't know what the date is."
"Are you saying we-" (If this were a film, now would be the time when the camera would zoom in incredibly close on Rink's face.) "traveled through time!?"
Everyone gasped as a tense silence fell over the room. One that was shortly broken by GIB.
"What? No! Where did you get that from?" The head looked down and then below him appeared a holographic, digital clock. It was blinking 12:00 over and over again. "The CPU battery is dead so every time the computers shut down for anything like, say, a hyperspace jump, the clock gets reset to zero."
Aye's shoulders dropped, getting exhausted by this constant state of tense suspense followed by immediate and slightly disappointing relief.
"Time travel we no?"
GIB sighed, annoyed. "If I couldn't read your surface thoughts, I'd have no idea what Cat-Man is trying to say. But we most likely, probably, very slim chance, pretty sure we didn't travel in time. Probably."
Aye tilted his head in confusion and GIB continued.
"Well, there IS the slight possibility that if the Diapoles had been engaged before the jump, we would have ripped a hole in the time-space continuum, leading to a dimensional vortex that could have possibly, and I stress that it's not very likely, but it may have transported us to another time or even another dimension. But most probably not."

So what you're saying is you have no idea where we are or...technically, WHEN we are? Rink said, even his voice seemed to betray that he felt foolish saying something so cliche. Even in the interest of moving the plot along.
"That is essentially what I am saying, yes." GIB replied simply.
I wonder what we're going to do now. Kaikoura thought, absentmindedly. She had made her way to the side of the room, and from here, it looked like you could just topple off the floor and fall into the darkness beyond forever. It was an oddly thrilling sensation.
"Well, there's the mission to attend to, in't there?" GIB said, suddenly. "That is what I was designed for, after all. Of course, that's not really for the lot of you, is it?"
Kaikoura spun on the spot
Are you...can you scan me? she said, the echo in the huge room making her shrill voice sound much louder.
"I believe I already stated that. I can read your surface level thoughts, can't I? I can already tell this is gonna be one hell of a trip."
It never is when the wolfsbanes on the prowl. Of course, she said you'd make us go on that silly quest. The Kydon seems up to the challenge, even if my cargo isn't.
Sarthog stared strangely at Taeg,
Ye were makin sense an hour ago. he said, shaking his head. So where's the bar in this dump??
So... Kaikoura said at last, as quietly as she could, Where are you taking us?
"Well, the itinerary calls for the first stop to be Panomus, a small little planet in the Quarxi nebula. Of course, being equipped, as I am, with the most advanced navigational systems ever devised, I know right where it is, and whats more, we can be there in just a few minutes." GIB said
I thought you said you didn't know where we were! Rink exclaimed.
"Amusing little joke eh? Whats the fun of being the only brains of the outfit if I can't toy with you eh?" GIB's common, almost monotonous tone of speech making the last part particularly infuriating.
"Now, if I could be so kind as to direct you" he turned to face Taeg now "to press that blinking button on the console there."
Charley and I take orders from no one, but one must always be chivalrous to the ladies. They're a wily bunch, they are. Chickens abound! Taeg pressed the button, and the group could feel the engines power up, the assembled group braced for the acceleration...and with a whirring sputtering noise, the engines died completely.
"Oh dear." GIB said.

"What is it?" Kaikoura asked nervously as the engines sputtered.
"It looks like I've got Gibbles again," GIB sighed. "You, the crew (if you can actually be CALLED that) have to clear them out so I can patch the wiring."
"Gibbles what?" asked Aye.
"Can somebody seriously give me a translator for this guy? It's like talking to a backwards cave-man... Gibbles are little fuzz-balls that like to feed on electricity. I guess you could say they're like the ship-version of cockroaches. If you find one, there's bound to be a thousand you're not seeing. In small numbers they're harmless, but when a bunch get together they can cause shorts in my wiring."
"Where are they?"
"I wish I could tell you," GIB said. "But I have no idea. These things are dumber than peas. I'm not joking. A potted plant has more mental activity than these things. A head of cabbage has more brilliant ideas than an entire colony of Gibbles. The short, on the other hand, is down in the Engineering Deck. You should look there."
Everyone on deck nodded and started to head out of the deck when GIB suddenly shouted, "Hey, don't forget to bring some Nukinators with you," motioning towards a cabinet full of huge, mini-gun-sized canons. "Gibbles are eight feet tall with razor-sharp claws and two-inch-long teeth."
"Why didn't ye tell us that before ye sent us?"
GIB shrugged (or at least as close an approximation to a shrug that a head without shoulders could get). "I love to see the look on people's faces when they seem them for the first time, but it occurred to me that you may not all survive. This should at least give you a sporting chance."

Rink was a little uneasy as he had never heard of gibbles.
Hell, my whole day should've made me uneasy. Double, maybe even triple crossed, strange new aliens, mysterious organizations, and now this spaceship, AI, and some dangerous gremlins that need taking care of. This day's for the record books, that's for sure.
He grabbed two of these Nukinators and handed them to Sarthog and his alien friend.
"Thank ye."
"Most obliged Sebastian, but might you have this in black? Charlie prefers his coffee bitter."
Rink then picked up one for himself. The shapeshifter, the blue alien, and Rai'ku had already gathered their guns.
"By the way, in all the confusion today, I'm not sure if I introduced myself. I already met Sarthog." He nodded at Sarthog, who was taking a swig from his flask. "The name's Rink."
"I am Aye."
"I am Kaikoura, sir."
"Introductions! The honorable Judge Ned is now presiding. Banter!"
"Excuse Taeg, he seems to have quite a few personalities floating around in his head."
Rink turned to the shapeshifter, but it had already skipped off to the door some distance away, singing something merrily. Guess we'll just have to learn its name later.
"Yes, and as I already said, I'm GIB! Now run along, the gibbles need tending and your incessant droning is starting to get on my nerves. Or should I say, wires? I wouldn't expect you to get that one. Right, now, off you go!"
Rink sighed. "Well, I suppose we'd better get to work."
Everyone headed out the door.

The Nukinator was tremendously heavy, or so it seemed to Kai who could barely hold hers aloft. It was a fairly archaic piece of weaponry, the back was a boxy canister which held the power core of the device, and the rest of it was basically a long tube which Kai assumed you pointed at what you wanted dead. There was a handle on top with a trigger and a grip on the barrel.
Easy peasy. Kai thought somewhat sarcastically as the group trudged down the hallway.
GIB was helpful enough to light their path using the same running lights that had led them up to the bridge, and soon the group was crammed together inside a freight elevator.
"Now listen up," GIB said, his head appearing on a small screen embedded in the wall, "This is where the lot of you are headed to."
Next to his head, a small map of the ship appeared with a route showing where to go.
"Now, obviously once you're down there, I won't be able to help you -wiring bein' fried and all, so just take care of the critters and come back to the elevator when you're done. Soon as that's out of the way, we'll be off to Panomus straight off."
GIB made the whole thing sound so easy, Kai relaxed a bit even as the elevator began it's slow descent down into the darkness below.
The ride seemed to take weeks. Taeg was the only one who spoke, and even his voice seemed muffled by the closeness of the shaft. Finally, the elevator jolted to a halt and the metal doors slid open with a metallic shriek. Rink was closest to the door and stepped out first. Aye followed with Kai close on his heels.
They were in a hallway, a long wide corridor that stretched off into forever in the low light. The walls down here were coated with white textured plastic, sealed with red tape. Hoses and tubes snaked out of the walls, and there was discarded equipment everywhere. It seemed this area was still under heavy construction.
Now what? Kai thought as the tip of her weapon finally dropped to rest against the steel grating of the floor.

*Taeg glanced around the empty corridor, and hoisted the gun to rest at a perfectly 90 degree angle. The gun, though bigger then Taeg, was light and easy for him to lift due to his strength.*
*Everyone huddled together and followed behind Rink, who came to a stop when they reached a T intersection. Rink peered around the corner looking to the left.*
Well, there's nothing there... Since GIB can't tell us where to go, I say we split up.
Excellent idea! I will win this race for the fine lady, and Sarthog will rue the day he was avenged for his cumupins!
does that mean I don't have to go with him?
*But before anyone could decide who would go which way, Taeg let off a loud roar of a battle cry and took off running down the corridor leading to the right.*

Hey, come back here!
Taeg wasn't listening as he continued to charge down the corridor to the right. Without hesitating, Rink barreled down after him leaving the rest at the intersection.
What now? Follow we no?
Aah, let's go left got a hunch we'll find some hooch this way.
Sharp and shiny, tall and fuzzy!
Everyone turned to listen but stopped short when they saw their first gibble. How such a large creature had managed to sneak up on them in such a short time without notice was a mystery. It just stood there, dumbfounded.

*Sarthog turned to look at the gibble. Its claws seemed sharper than knives and his fangs dripped electricty. It was so fluffy and round. Sarthog having lost his memories had also lost control of his senses. and when he saw this thing that looked like a giant chew toy he just lost control.
Sarthog started growling and immediatly pounced on the Gibble. He knocked the gibble onto its back and just started chewing and growling. Fur flying everywhere. The Gibble let out a screech in pain.*
Fun that looks.
*Aye said excitedly as he too pounced on the gibble. Causing it to screem out even more and louder in pain. And while the others stared in shock they didnt see the second one appear on the other side. It took a swing at TKC knocking it against a wall. Kai turned and fired the Nukinator at the new gibble. The recoil made Kai fly into the Gibble being eaten by Sarthog and Aye and pushing them all back to the elevator doors. while the gibble that she shot turned into a small 8 oz pile of dust. *
Wow.... I'll say thats a successful test of the gun *Helping TKC up.* Come on lets go catch up with the others

Aye's head perked up after Kaikoura barreled into Sarthog and himself. A portion of the Gibble's Grump Bladder was dangling from Aye's mouth as his eyes widened and his nostrils flared. It was clear that something had snapped in his head. Whatever Rink was saying may as well have been Space-Greek (a language which was known not only for being old but for the most part forgotten, taught only in pretentious University classes as a means of naming species) and Aye wasn't paying the least bit of attention. His nose was picking up a familiar scent and we all know what they say about cats and their stance on curiosity in life-or-death situations.
Aye didn't spare his Nukinator a second glance as he bounded off down the hallways, following the smell on all-fours. Unfortunately, it seemed that Sarthog was also experiencing a bit of a loss-of-self and, seeing what appeared to be a cat darting down a hallway, wasted no time in barking and chasing after it. Now, as a narrator, I appreciate that I can get wordy from time-to-time, so for your benefit, I offer this condensed version:
Aye's eyes got big and he ran down the hall like a big, blue cat. Sarthog chased after him like a less-big, less-blue not-cat. Meanwhile, Rink mistook their instinctive chase as a more deliberate attempt to catch up to Taeg.
Come on, Kaikoura, TKC. We have to catch them!
By the time Rink had rounded the corner, Aye and Sarthog had already found another Gibble and were once again in the process of tearing it apart. This was all a very unusual sight to see, let alone twice in a five minute period, because a Gibble easily had a few feet and several hundred pounds on both Sarthog and Aye and yet it was so helpless to defend itself. The answer, if you'll allow me, is quite simple.
*The narrator puts the current scene on pause and proceeds with a Power Point Presentation, complete with bullet point and visual aids.*
Gibbles are a mixed product of technological achievement and natural selection. Prior to Star-Date 10203:42, parasites relied on intelligence and cunning to survive in the modern world. Rats could hide, move quickly and get into just about anything. Tribbles mastered the ability to trigger the cuteness reflex in other species and, believe it or not, Gibbles were once so intelligent that they had learned to speak and would use legal rhetoric to sue their exterminators. Scientists became aware of this fact and in 10203:42, developed a brain-wave radar for locating and exterminating these ever-more-intelligent creatures. With a flawless mechanism for locating and eliminating parasites, evolution was forced into a corner and it was the Gibbles that found the key mutation for their survival. Instead of developing higher and higher intelligence, it developed lower and lower intelligence until even at point-blank range, not a single blip would appear on the brain-wave radar, making them invisible to scanners. Now, when a creature is unable to evolve on an intellectual level, it's forced to evolve in more physical areas and the rest is, as they say, history. Modern Gibbles, while incredibly strong and dangerous, have no ability to cope with unfamiliar situations due to their complete lack of mental capacity. So when a blue and orange blur pounce on it's chest and begin ripping into it's flesh, Gibbles are often inclined to consider the validity of joining the Reform Party instead of defending themselves. Thank you for your time.
*The narrator steps aside and hits the 'play' button on the scene once again.*

TKC ran along with Rink and Kaikoura after Sarthog and Aye, completely forgetting about the Nukinator it had dropped on the floor before. As it ran it grinned and called out, "Catch orange and blue is what we must do. Must be quick, or Gibbles get you. Fuzzy blue says pouncing is fun. Pouncing fun for everyone!"
After it called out it started to shift, stretching and sprouting purple fur until it looked like a purple version of Aye. Dropping down to all fours it bounded ahead of Rink and Kaikoura. Giving a rather odd combination of a giggle and a growl it rounded the corner, and spotting another nearby Gibble TKC pounced on it. Knocking the Gibble over with its new forms strength TKC began to bounce on and playfully wrestle with the large fuzzy ball. While it wasn't being mauled like the one under Sarthog and Aye, the Gibble was still just as confused and helpless to TKCs playful assault.
"Box tumbler and little blue should come as well. Gibbles are fuzzy soft, and very swell!" TKC said between giggle/growls. Before it could say more though a blast from further down the tunnel sent Taeg skidding backwards into the vicinity, and one collision later both TKC and Gibble were rolling backwards.
"Kicks like a racehorse. Nevermind the colored paper Ned," Taeg muttered before glancing at Sarthog and Aye, "Seems I missed the rain, and the puddles are playing."
Still giggle/growling TKC happily continued to wrestle with the Gibble as the mass of fur and sharp claws rolled down the hall towards Kaikoura and Rink.

*A loud unusual noise sounded in the distance that caused Sarthog to look up. He first looked in the direction the noise came from, then to the others. No one else seemed to have heard the noise. Their battle with the gibbles raged on. Curious as to what the sound was Sarthog started running towards the sound. So focused on it he didnt bother to tell the others about it. He followed the noise through several corridors and eventually came across a big room. A room that seemed to big to fir inside the spaceship. In the middle of the room was what appeared to be a nest made out of parts from the ship. in the middle of the nest were several eggs about the size of Sarthog. Ass he approached he noticed that the eggs were hatching most had already done so. On the opposite side of the nest were 6 baby gibbles cowering from the site of Sarthog.*
Ahhh. Dont be afraid little guys *Sarthog slowly moved forward and eventually got close enough to pet them. THe gibbles started making happy sounds that are a mix between a pur and a chirp.* Ah! ye things arent that bad after all. if only ye ate something besides electricity.
*Just then 6 adult gibbles entered the room and a look of terror came to their faces when they first saw Sarthog. then they noticed the baby gibbles playing with him. The adult gibbles went up to Sarthog and started nuzzling him. all the fur rubbing against each other started creating static shocks to all the gibbles. after a while they all put their hands on their bellies and laid down.*
well i'll be they aint such bad guys after all. infact we could use them as crew members to help up keep the ship im sure. They can live off of the static electricity. Wait untill i tell the others that we now have our own Mr. blacks for the ship.....Mr.black? why did i say that they arent black at all how peculiar.

With a blood-curdling crunch, Aye felt the neck of the Gibble snap between his powerful jaws as blood splattered over his face. He dropped the creature and snapped his head up, the battle far from over as two more of the hulking creatures surged down the hall. Aye flashed his claws and teeth while hissing threateningly but the display did nothing to slow them down as they rushed him. Aye jumped back as their jaws snapped down at him but as soon as his paws touched the ground, Aye bounded right back into the fray, hoping to catch the Gibbles off-guard. However, the Gibbles were so thoughtless that they didn't even think to be surprised when Aye vanished and continued forward catching Aye off-guard who ended up tackling the pair instead of eviscerating them with his claws. The trio tumbled to the ground in a very furry mass as Aye started to panic.
Their strength was incredible, their weight overwhelming and their fur so long and fluffy, Aye couldn't tell where one gibble stopped and the other began. He tried to wrestle his way out but only succeeded in flailing his limbs through their thick fur as they rolled on top of him. Aye struggled to his last, trying to fight the creatures off, knowing any moment one of their jaws would snap down on him or their claws would rake his flesh. However, after a few moments of struggling, he blinked cautiously and looked up to see that the Gibbles were doing no such thing. In fact, it seemed that they were simply rubbing up against Aye's fur for the sake of rubbing against him in an almost affectionate way. All that rubbing was making Aye's fur stand straight on-end, making him look more like a spherical ball of fluff than a humanoid feline. The gibbles on the other hand absorbed the static into their fur and after a few moments, were contently purring and rubbing their full bellies, leaving the puff-ball that was Aye very confused.
