A Medley of Problems. Next chapter is up!

A Medley of Problems



Note, the style is a blatant rip off of Starman Omega’s great work, Blast, I cant remember the name. Oh yeah, A Freelancer Parody. Anyway. On to the problems.


Introduction


Battleship Osiris
Two and a Half years after the Nomad Invasion

Orillian: “I know, Col. Trent, your month of vacation isn’t over yet. But we have a serious problem.”
Trent: “But I don’t wanna come back yet… Sir”
Orillian: “At this point, I don’t really care”
Juni: “Trent! Get over here now!”
Trent: “On my way!”

What Orillian was in such a fuss about, was what appeared to be a space-time continuum. Out of it had just fallen an infinite number of Monkeys, a script for Hamlet, and an arm. Complete with a digital watch.


Trent: Ok, boss I’m here. Waddya want?
Juni: Bout time, bonehead.
Orillian: Well, Col. Trent, what do you think of that?
Trent: Where?
Orillian: There.
Trent: Huh?
Orillian: Over there…
Trent: Where?
Juni: LOOK THAT DIRECTION!!!!
Trent: Oh that, yeah. Hmm, looks like a rip in the space-time continuum.
Orillian: What makes you say that?
Trent: Dunno, the author, I guess.
Orillian: Well, the things that fell through the rip seem to indicate-

Arm lands on windshield of the Osiris.

Trent: Ohhhhhh, a digital watch, cool.
Orillian: As I was saying, the things that fell through the rip indicate a parallel universe on the other side of the rip, and we are going to explore it.
Trent: Wow, good for you, I hope you have a good time.
Orillian: No, we. As in You.
Trent: Oh, bummer.
Orillian: Judging from the things that that fell out, we think this book might be useful to you.
Trent: Hmm, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I’ve never heard of it. What’s it about?
Orillian: You can read it on the way over.
Trent: I’ve never heard of the Adams guy. I wonder if he’s any good.
Orillian: Lets go already.
Juni: Come on guys! Lets go Shopping…for Guns!

Trent and Orillian gag. But they go to the dealer, outfit their ships, and fly outside.

Juni: All right Trent, You go first.
Trent: I don’t know, it’s kind of scary.
Juni: Go. Now.
Trent: Do I have to?
Orillian: Yes.
Trent: But-
Juni: Look bozo, how many times have we had this conversation? You ALWAYS go first, we ALWAYS come after you. Have you ever had any reason to complain?
Trent: Well, no, not that I can remember.
Juni: Well then….
Trent: All right, I’m going.

Trent flies through the time continuum, jumps into a parallel universe, gets destroyed three times, gets put together 5 times, and winds up in a very strange place.

Trent: Ok its safe, come on over.
Trent: Guys?
Trent: Helllooooo?
Juni: (over radio) HA! We fooled you, have a fun time exploring!

Suddenly the rip seals itself, forever separating the two universes.

Trent: WHAT??? AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Trent flies around in circles, shrieking.

Trent: WHAT DO I DO???? WHAT DO I DO???? HOW DO I GET BACK!!! I HAVE THREE LIBRARY BOOKS THAT ARE OVERDUE!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A large silver spaceship flies up, Trent continues to fly around in circles.
Trent: AND I LEFT MY CAT OUTSIDE!!!! AND MY MAIL WILL PILE UP AND I WONT BE ABLE TO CHECK IT!!!!! AND THE OVENS ON!!!!!!! THE TURKEY WILL BURN!!!!!!!
Person in large silver ship: Ummm, like, wow, that’s a problem. Can I, like, help you?
Trent: Not really no. AND THE PIZZA I LEFT UNDER MY BED WILL MOLD!!!!! AND THE Wait, what? Who are you!?!?!?

PILSS: Me, Like, you don’t know who I am? Wow, what rock did you crawl out from?
Trent: I’d rather not talk about it.
PILSS: Well, My name is Zaphod Beeblebrox, who are you?
Trent: Errm, wait a minute.

Trent begins to leaf through his copy of the guide.

Trent: AAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Zaphod: Not this again.
Trent: YOU’RE THE PRESIDENT OF THE GALAXY!

Trent Faints.

Chapter 1



All was not well on the Forerunner ship, After doing a lot of running around, killing things, dying, respawing, killing things, blowing stuff up, killing things, stealing a giant spaceship, and killing things, the Master Chief was not a happy camper.

Chief: Cortanna, Where are we?
Cortanna: I can’t talk to you sir, remember, you left me on the halo?
Chief: Blow it all to smithereens, I forgot. Why did I have to do that?
Cortanna: I don’t know.
Chief: Can we at least pretend?
Cortanna: Sure.
Chief: All right, once again, where are we.
Cortanna: Well, judging by the star patterns, the local planet, and the square of the final digit of Pi, I haven’t the foggiest.
Chief: YES!! Do you know what this means?
Cortanna: We’re lost?
Chief: No, There won’t be a single flood for light years upon light years!
Cortanna: Ohh, very true…
Chief: So, why don’t you know where we are?
Cortanna: Well, I think I overestimated my skills in operating this forerunner ship. I think we might have jumped across universes instead of across space, which would explain why I don’t recognize anything.
Chief: You jumped us across the universe?
Cortanna: No across universes. As in, multiple universes, I don’t have time to explain it to barbarians. Just pretend you understand…So, if you don’t have anything to kill, then what will you do?
Chief: *Gasp* I hadn’t thought of that? What will I do with all my time?
Cortanna: You could-
Chief: I’ve got it! I’ll go insult the universe in alphabetical order. No, I get the feeling that would get a little to close to plagiarism.
Cortanna: You could-
Chief: I could become a gourmet chef! They would call me, Chef Chief!
Cortanna: No, but you could find something else to fight.
Chief: I got it; I could find something else to fight!
Cortanna: I just, oh never mind.

The Chief and Cortanna cruised through the universe, but could find next to nothing to do, except banish a little guy that called himself Myxlpiklik, a small elf from the 5th dimension. So they jumped to another universe, and again could find nothing to do. They tried a third, and popped out right in front of a large research ship near the Nomad City.

Sinclair: Unknown vessel, this is Order Research Ship “Quinte-Poo” What are you doing in this system?
Chief: Uhh, just cruising around, looking for things to- what on any particular planet that is not earth is that thing?
Sinclair: Its called a Nomad, we’re trying to tame them.
Chief: IT’S A BLUE FLOOD!!!!!

Master Chief then landed on Nomad City, and proceeded to make mincemeat out of the alien snake like things.

Sinclair: Wait you really don’t want to do that!
Chief: BANG BOOM SMASH CRASH CRUNCH SPLOOSH (ewww, a squishy one) BOOM THUMP BIFF POW BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Sinclair: Not good.

Unknowingly, the chief had undone all the work that Sinclair had done, and, being hive minded, many pet parasites throughout the galaxy infested their owners and began a second battle for the Sirius Sector.

Chief: My work here is done, See ya later!

The Chief and Cortanna jumped to yet another universe, and landed square on The Heart of Gold, whose owner just happened to be calming a very frightened Trent down.
Trent: *Wheezing*
Zaphod: You see? The galaxy is a fun place; you just gotta learn to have a good time.
Chief: CRUCH BANG EXPLOSION!
Trent: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS TOO FUNNY!

You are too great a threat to the parody; so give us more or die!! And i'll throw a hand grenade at you!

"And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

...sorry, Chupa, but really the fact that it's told exactly like Starman Omega's fanfic takes away from the humour. It doesn't feel original. It just sounds like a ripoff.

Having said that it's very funny.

Post Thu Oct 20, 2005 5:32 pm

i kinda agree with wilde.

Post Thu Oct 20, 2005 8:33 pm

Hmmm... ripoff of Starman Omega's parody. Yes it is funny. Just include StarWars, StarcCraft and Lord of the Rings and we've got the wierdest story ever.

But I don't know if Starman likes this. Have you asked him?
