"What was that?"
"I have no idea; I’ve never seen anything like it."
A thunderstruck Rilms and ): Wolf Demon
were flying away from the fight as fast as they could.
“I thought The Evil Thing said it would be a piece of cake” Rilms was livid.
“Hey calm down Rilms, maybe you should try to do less 007 stuff and fly like a fighter should, this is not Modlywood you know” ): Wolf Demon
was just as angry, but not just at the outcome of the fight. “Why did I get saddled up with this stupid film maker” he thought, “the guy should never have left his stage in Modlywood, he cant even fly properly.”

“Whoa ok lady no need to get so agitated” Nickless was still trying to recover from the double dose shock he just received. “Who are you btw?”
“No need to get agitated! You are the one who came here lying!”
In his ship Zlo was just as astonished. He was saved by a girl! What would his friends say about this?! This would never be flushed down the toilet!
“Well you may be the one who saved the day, but they way you were shooting you could have easily killed my buddy Zlo here.” Nickless was becoming angry as well now. “And why is your ship painted orange in anyway do you want to be easily seen and shot at?”
“The colour of my ship has nothing to do with you, you dumb…”
“Hey you two just calm down okay” Zlo’s voice was still a bit shaky when he interrupted the girl’s angry flow of words. “Look lady I don’t know who you are and but I appreciate you trying help, but it is true what Nickless said, the way you were shooting you could just as well have killed me if those two didn’t get scared when they did.”
“Fine be ungrateful, I’ll make sure to tell Bargib that as well when I report this incident” with that words she engaged cruise engines and disappeared
“Women! Common Zlo your ship looks like it needs some repairs I’ll escort you to Manhatten”

“The meeting will take place Tomorrow at 10:00 on Planet Forum, please try your best to attend it.”
“Stupid Bargib, doesn’t he realise that such a sudden move from planet to planet can fry my circuits?” Electric Brain was annoyed. Now he had to travel from Omricon Alpha al the way to New York to attend a meeting about who-knows-what.
**********
“Please take your seats, and SHUT UP!” Bargib was losing his patience, it was 10:30 and the people were still chatting and ignoring him. At last they were silent.
“It was brought to my attention that recently there was incidents where some ships attacked others” Pandemonium broke lose, everybody wanted to say something at once.
“I’ve heard about it as well, I say we have a band of terrorists under us!” The people standing around Gromit silently made space around him, he was known for crushing the ribs of people he didn’t like.
“We have to find out who they are, where they are hiding and erase them at once!” Eraser also made his voice heard.
“Yes we can call it…uhm …uhm..” for once kimk was searching for words At last he turned to Sir Spectre “ Sir Spectre you’re the man who knows his words what shall we call it?”
“What about OffTopic” Sir Spectre saw that the people did not understand the logic behind the name. “Well, something like this has never happened before, it was never even discussed before, therefore it is actually off-topic don’t you agree?”
“Fried circuits, fired circuits, burning circuits…”
Oh shut up you useless piece of cyborg”
Everybody turned to see Freighter Fighter slapping Electric Brain
“What do you think you are doing?!” Bargib was furious “Leave him alone!” he shouted and then after a few seconds of pondering: “EB if you are experiencing problems with your circuits we should consider taking them out”
“No no I’m fine really just leave my circuits alone please oh please oh please!”
“Hmm I thought so” Bargib was satisfied to see that he had everybody’s attention again.
“I think Eraser has a good idea there, we’ll form a faction and we’ll name it OffTopic, those who want to join, say so now. You have to realise that it will not be fun and games, you will putting your lives on the line here.” Bargig waited a few seconds before he asked: “Who want to join?”
“I will join” Eraser
“So will I” Sir Spectre
“Count me in” Zlo
“And me! And me!” Heads turned when they heard the voice of a female. “What you guys think that I cant do it?”
Bargib sighed, he knew sycho_warrior and the way she tended to mess up “OK sw you can join just remember if you mess up we will probably not be able to help you.”
“I think I’ll just stay out of it all” Nickless decided that he was not trading his business for fighting, this would be too good a chance to make money.
Nearby Mustang and Eh_Steve were thinking along the same lines.
“Yes it wouldn’t do if we all started fighting all of a sudden” There was no objections, if kimk spoke people listened, he was not known as a highly intelligent person for nothing.
“I’m not going to join OffTopic, but if I hear a call for help I will go to help” Everybody nodded when they heard Darkstone’s words, that would be good.
Freighter Fighter was standing alone thinking: “hmm I’ll have to talk to TET first, but I don’t think he will object about having a mole on the good side” Aloud he said “I’ll think about it and then let you know what my decision is.”
“Well if there is nothing more I think we can call this meeting to a close” Bargib was happy with the way things went. “Eraser you will be in command of OffTopic,I now leave it in your capable hands. I now declare this meeting officially closed”
**********
“You say its called OffTopic?” The Evil Thing was thoughtfull.
“Yes Spammaster TET, they want to find and exterminate us, that’s why I thought maybe I could act as a spy, then we can take advantage of their plans.”
“Freighter Fighter I like men with brains, go through with your plan, just make sure they do not find you. Here is a Quit pill, it works within seconds, if they catch you, just place it under your tongue. Good luck, may the spam be with you”
