NUMBER ONE: (to audience) The 'Asuka and Shinji' scene from 'Neon Genesis Evangelion', ladies and gentlemen. >Here's a summary of the meeting. We have decided to form a >private navy NUMBER ONE: They were promptly sued by Jesse Jackson for discrimination. >composed of our 20 ships and 5 other ships estimated to arrive in >the system within the next hour or so. DIANE: (Church Lady) How conveeeeenient! >We have 5 freighters, one of which equiped with neutron missles; DIANE: (to NYSSA) I notice you aren't picking out every single grammar and spelling error in this one. NYSSA: That's because if I did, we'd be here all day and none of you lot would ever get a word in edgewise. >1 medium cruiser, an old design dating back to the last Earth- >Dalek war with no missiles but plenty of laser banks, particle >cannons, DOUG: ...wave motion guns, kill-o-zap blasters, t-ray guns, brickbats, folding metal chairs, two-handed battle spatulas... >and rail guns; 10 heavy fighters of varying make and armament; 4 >medium fighters, including mine. The expected 5 additional ships >consist of NUMBER ONE: ...Galaxy Police cruisers commanded by Mihoshi. DIANE: They are _so_ doomed. >1 scout capable of amazing speeds and 4 additional destroyers DOUG: ...including the _Soyokaze_. DIANE: They are only marginally less doomed. >from the private world of Theta Prime, one of the first Earth >colonies in this sector which became an independent goverment >100 years ago. HELEN: (Thoreau) Aside from paranoia and post-traumatic stress disorder, Captain Hunter also suffers from acute expositophrenia. >"Our leadership consists of me and two other experienced >commanders. Capt. Dreklar of *Pelago* is our 'Admiral', I am in >charge of the improvised fighter squadron, and Cmdr. Gretzle of >the cruiser *Jolly Roger* is in charge of the cruisers. NYSSA: I thought there was only the one cruiser? DOUG: (Dreklar) I say that Hunter, Gretzle, and myself should be in charge. What do you other captains think? HELEN: (other captain) Well, I think-- DOUG: (Dreklar) It doesn't matter what you think! > >"Now we have a navy! NOW, we can show these damn Cybermen >that we humans aren't to be pushed around. DIANE: Killed, maimed, tortured, and Cyber-converted, sure, but not pushed around. >We'll strike back and we'll strike back hard!"

Ave _Pelago_! Morituri te salutant! NUMBER ONE: [collapses laughing] How incredibly apt! [high- fives DOUG] ><Hailing... *Pelago* responding, on screen...> > >::Capt. Dreklar is sitting in his chair in the *Pelago's* cockpit:: HELEN: Ooh, there's another word I'm quite fond of! (to DIANE) I'd love to have a flight in _your_ cockpit, darling. DIANE: (to HELEN) Try it, and I guarantee you'll crash and burn. >"Hello Capt. Hunter. Is your squadron ready?" > >"The fighters are at full readiness. They await your orders." DOUG: (Dreklar) Very well. Change your Veritech to Guardian mode and attack the Zentraedi forces in sector-- DIANE: (Rick Hunter) For the last time, I'm not _that_ Rick Hunter! DOUG: (Dreklar) Oh, so there's not much chance of you getting me any free Minmay concert tickets, is there? DIANE: (Rick Hunter) Aaaaugh! >::Rick has to keep himself from grimacing at the NYSSA: ...way he's being written. >fact that he has to take orders from someone that he does not >really know. He does, however make a point that _they_ await >Dreklar's orders, not neccessarily he:: NUMBER ONE: But it also makes the point that _they_ are awaiting Dreklar's orders, not necessarily _his_. > >"Okay. I want 2 heavy fighters escorting each of the light cruisers NYSSA: I reiterate: five freighters, fourteen fighters, one cruiser, one scout, and four destroyers. So just where did these light cruisers show up from?! Isn't even the _author_ paying attention?! [NUMBER ONE reaches over and pours her drink on NYSSA's head.] NUMBER ONE: (to NYSSA) You were starting to smolder. NYSSA: [wiping away cola] Bleah. Sticky. (to NUMBER ONE) I don't see how you stand getting this done to you all the time. >and freighters, 2 medium fighters with the scout, and 2 medium >fighters with the medium cruiser *Jolly Roger*. DOUG: He could super-size that cruiser for another 49 cents. >I want you to be with the scout. At my command, you three will >proceed to the 3rd planet, Nigel Prime. You are to find out the >strength of the invading forces and get to the 4th planet as fast as >you can.

DIANE: ...and limit your ability to maneuver. But then, that whole 'tactics' thing is over-rated anyway. NUMBER ONE: (to DIANE) Spoken like a true ADF soldier!

NUMBER ONE: Yes, you are. > >"Yes, quite. Hunter out." > >::Hunter cuts the communication:: "Agggh!! It's the Navy all over >again! HELEN: Oh, please. This was _your_ idea, angst-boy. Suck it up and deal. >Calm, yourself Rick... soon the Cybermen will be but scrap metal >floating in space." > ><<I have consulted many sources and I am still not sure about >Capt. Hunter's stability. DOUG: (Thoreau) I am not certain whether the term 'nutjob' or 'basket case' is more accurate. >Some databases say that talking to oneself is a sign of mental >instability, others that it is a common human trait. NUMBER ONE: (Thoreau) But they all agree that the box full of love letters to Jodie Foster is a bad sign. >I must ask him about it later>> > >::Hunter orders the fighter *Helena* and the scout *Searcher* >and the three of them head out to the 3rd planet at maximum >cruising speed. Minutes go by. NYSSA: ...which could be any length of time in this story, really. >Suddenly, the radar starts beeping like crazy.

On screen now...> > >::There are three, enormous ships on the screen. Each wear the >insignia and tell-tale signs of Cybermen.

Tactics, for a change. DOUG: Tactics that depend upon the Cybermen being incredibly stupid for success, so I don't see-- NUMBER ONE: (to DOUG, interrupting) 'Revenge of the Cybermen'. DOUG: [shakes head] Right. Never mind. > >"This log system is just gonna be a nuuisance in battle.

The ratio calculates to approximately 1.5:1, with the >Cybermen in the advantage. DOUG: Then, they haven't had 'just as many' losses then, have they? NYSSA: (to DOUG) Just give it up. This fanfic is like California. Few words and no numbers have any real meaning here. >The human commanders have repeatedly outwitted the Cybermen >when matching pure tactics, the logic-oriented Cybermen can't >defend against human irrationality and intuition.

DOUG: Oh... But still... >After assembling our fleet, it was have been 1 in 2,890. DIANE: 'Was have been'? NYSSA: That's actually the correct grammar when you factor in all the time distortion in this story. DIANE: Yeah, right. NYSSA: [holds up a book] Dr. Streetmentioner's book on temporal syntax. Check page eight. [DIANE takes the book and turns to the correct page. She reads for a moment, then her eyes widen a bit.] DIANE: Well, I'll be damned... >Now, I estimate it to be around 1 in 800.

DOUG: He's shooting up his own wingman? He _is_ a psycho! NUMBER ONE: (to DOUG) Obviously you've never played 'Crimson Skies'. After about the third or fourth midair collision with Jack, you'll make killing your wingman a top mission priority. >It dodges the first volley but is slammed by the second and third, >ripping it in half. The wingmen regroup and turn around, releasing >a wave of heat-seeking missiles as they spin. DOUG: Okay, so it's apparently a Cyberman fighter he just nailed. I guess. NYSSA: Pity. I've started rooting for them. >*Michael* turns tail and fires up its afterburners.:: HELEN, NYSSA, DOUG, and DIANE: (singing) High-way to the Danger Zone! NUMBER ONE: (grumbling) Joy. A crap '80s music ref and a crap '80s movie ref combined. >"Let's give these 'bots a run for their money" DOUG: Kick the tires and light the fires, Big Daddy! > >::*Michael* does a tight 180.

The fighter is confused for a minute but trys to use >counter-measures developed to evade human-made missiles, not >their own. NYSSA: I've changed my mind. If these idiots can't even devise effective countermeasures against a heat-seeking missile -- for example, a simple magnesium flare -- then I'm not rooting for them. [sulks] >The missile hits and the fighter is instantly vaporized.:: > >"Bull-yah! DOUG: That's 'Boo-yah!' DIANE: In this instance, I think 'bull' is far more appropriate. >Fried that sucker! Lez' take out this other one." HELEN: So, his wingman is a lesbian, or what? I'm getting so lost. NYSSA: (to HELEN) It's like a tar pit. The more you flail around at it, the more mired you get. > >::Capt. Hunter switches from the close-counters particle cannon to >the more reliable laser quad. *Michael* swerves away from the >debris created by some inapportune fighter.

DOUG: (Alec Guinness) Trust your feelings, Luke. >The lasers firing in bursts of two. He leads his prey into the >position he wants, and cuts its engines from it, leaving the cockpit >area intact.

[leans forward to watch] >Knowing that his enemy has no more defenses left he gets within >metres from the cockpits front, and blasts away at it. NYSSA: Of course, to a true connoisseur, the sadism of this act is tempered by the fact that Cybermen are unable to express fear of death. For that reason, I give it... [holds up scorecard] ...a 5.5. The fact that he made no clever one-liner as he butchered his helpless opponent counts against him as well...

[The lights come back on and ALL get up and leave the theater.] ---- [Door sequence: 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6...] ---- [SOL bridge interior] [DIANE and NYSSA are at the computer, while DOUG and HELEN occupy opposite ends of the couch, watching TV. NUMBER ONE sits in the background, staring at a picture of her male form and moping.] DOUG: Anything good on Usenet? DIANE: Nope. Just a typical rec.arts.mpt3k flamewar. HELEN: Over what? NYSSA: Can't really tell for sure. Something called 'Pro-Meteor Trolls' appear to be involved, though. DOUG: Oh. [In the background, NUMBER ONE listlessly picks up a Sony Discman and puts the headphones on.] DIANE: Anything good on TV? DOUG: Nope. Just a typical 'Sailor Who' battle. NYSSA: Over what? HELEN: Can't really tell for sure. Something called 'Anti-Spam Power Nuggets' appear to be involved, though. DIANE: Oh. [As NUMBER ONE listens to the headphones, her sulky expression begins to change. Abruptly, she crushes the picture and walks quickly off to the left. DOUG watches her leave. A period of silence ensues, during which DOUG looks increasingly uneasy.] DOUG: Is anybody but me concerned about how depressed she is? I think maybe somebody should, you know, talk to her, or something. DIANE: [shrugs] Not me. We can barely stand each other. NYSSA: (to DOUG) If you're concerned, why don't you talk to her yourself? You two get along most times, after all. DOUG: But she's still the enemy... sort of. Anyway, I have enough trouble persuading Siobhan that you lot aren't my 'harem' as it is, without doing any 'bonding'. Besides, Nyssa, it's really your fault this happened in the first place. NYSSA: I already _said_ I was sorry. Plus I gave her my Megumi Hayashibara CD. What more do you want from me? HELEN: (to NYSSA) I think Doug may be right, darling. All this moping about can't be doing her any good. NYSSA: That's why I gave her my Megumi CD. DOUG: [sighs] I don't think that's quite... [ALL look as NUMBER ONE enters from the left. She still has the headphones on, but has changed into a denim miniskirt and a crop- top. Her expression is much more upbeat.] DOUG: Umm... Uh... Yeah. HELEN: Ah, well... (to NUMBER ONE) Er, what's with your wardrobe change, darling? And why do you seem so much more cheerful? Not that that's a bad thing. NUMBER ONE: [takes off headphones] Well, you can only sulk around so long. All we can do in this world is make the best of what we have. So, I just figure that if this is me from now on, I might as well make the most of it. DOUG: So, what caused this sudden change of heart? NUMBER ONE: [shrugs] I dunno. I was just listening to this Megumi Hayashibara CD and everything just kind of fell into place all of a sudden. [puts headphones back on] [DOUG, DIANE, and HELEN turn to stare at NYSSA, who just looks smug.] NYSSA: I told you. Don't underestimate the power of Megumi's music. [A light on the console begins to flash.] DOUG: Ah, yeah. Time to see what Pinko and the Brain want. [presses light] ---- [Interior, Tegan World Order Headquarters] [TEGAN stands behind the console, looking entirely too pleased with herself. VARNE, still male, stands beside her, flexing and posing.] TEGAN: Back again, my bourgeois basket-cases. I hope you were suitably chastened by the glorious might of the People's Fanfic. Are you ready to admit your dialectically-inevitable defeat? ---- [SOL] DOUG: Nyet, comrade. DIANE: Afraid not. HELEN: I have a high pain threshold. NYSSA: I wouldn't give you the satisfaction even if I _was_ broken. NUMBER ONE: Hahaha! Your puny fanfic can never darken a soul that is intent on victory! There is no fear, only love and strength and glory! OTHERS: [stare at NUMBER ONE] DIANE: (to NYSSA) Um, just what's on that CD? NYSSA: I should've warned her not to listen to too many songs in a row... ---- [TWO HQ] TEGAN: (angrily) Is that so? Well, sheila, I've got news for you! I've got a 200 kilobyte conspiracy rant here, and you'e going back in the theater and facing it right this instant! What do you say to that?! VARNE: Meteor. TEGAN: (to VARNE) What? VARNE: [shrugs] I just had the strangest premonition of a meteor. TEGAN: Not you, too! For the last time, there is _no_ meteor! Now take your beefcake butt over there and send them the rant, Varne! [VARNE, scowling, starts toward the console when a loud whistling sound -- a cartoon falling-bomb noise -- fills the air. BOTH look up just as something comes plunging through the ceiling, knocking down most of it and leaving a huge cloud of dust. The dust clears a little, revealing a crater in the floor and TEGAN's and VARNE's twitching feet sticking out of a pile of rubble. As more dust settles, a figure slowly pulls itself up out of the crater. It is scorched, battered, and covered in dirt from head to toe, but it is also somewhat familiar-looking, especially the bell-bottom jeans and the 'Hillary Clinton' t-shirt...] NEGA-ONE: Oh my! I hope my fiery re-entry hasn't caused anyone undue alarm. [At that moment, the rest of the ceiling caves in. As the debris strikes the console, the scene goes black.] >FWOOOOSH!< >The lights sometimes seemed as if they had formed themselves >into patterns, arbitrary and haphazard - a higgledy-piggledy >cascade of shining dots.
