Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord says flatly, "I don't like you coming on a mission... your mom said she'd kill me! And... she's pretty tough. I swear I saw her flipping burgers with her bare hands on the fourth."

The mission in question was to investigate a small ship that missed it's landing zone and fetched up on the coast. Whipping around the tiny thing, you can see smoke pouring from grating on its side. Scans indicate it is indeed -smoke. In their transport racks, Bailey and Bobo watch. Well, Bobo has a rack. Bailey has a car seat. Ted brings the Bug in for a landing as a hatch opens in the little pod. It looks big enough for one, maybe two if they were close.

"I'm going out to investigate. You stay here wit Bobo and Bailey. They'll protect you." He gives Joan a kiss on the cheek and scurries out. As he leaves he call in a pleasant sing song, "If you used the scarab, I'd have let you come..." then flees, "Ow! Who threw a Lego at me! Bailey... I know it's you. We're going to talk when this is over.

Ted walks across the shore to the little ship. A short thin blue furred creature waddles down a tiny hatch to meet him. It comes up almost to his crotch. It is joined by another and one with red hair.

Joan Wright has posed:
Joan gives a bit of a laugh to Ted's protest. "Oh you just imagined that. She definitely used tongs when going near the fire. That's basic safety 101." When the Bug safely lands, Joan undoes her restraints and starts to get up. Only for Ted to tell her to stay. She sits back down frowning a bit. But stay in the bug she does.

Eyes narrow as Ted mentions using the scarab again. But when the LEGO hits, she brings up a hand to cover her mouth. Even though she may have supprssed the sound a little, the shaking shoulders tell all.

Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord says, "I get no respect... full JL membership PENDING. I'm busting my ass out here and this is what I get. Half a mind to... oh hi!" He directs this at the little creatures bobbing up and down in front of him. He holds his hands out, palms spread and clicks a control to start the translator. As it warms up she says solemnly "Klaatu barada nicto!" Then the program loads and he says, "You guys okay?"

<Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.>

"Okay... Still working on your language I guess. Keep talking little guys. S&R is on the way. They just like having a superhero around. //It looks all clear Joan!// Yep."

Joan Wright has posed:
Hearing the all clear. Joan moves the hand from her mouth and starts to get up. "Come on guys." Joan beckons to the two bots before she heads to the hatch.

As Joan comes out and approaches where Ted has stopped, her own pace is slowed. The bobbing fuzzy creatures are earning extra consideration before looking to Ted. "Well, they seem like agreeable sorts."

Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord nods and pulls out his phone, "Yep. Imma get a picture of them. Yep. I've half a mind to just scoop their little bitty ship up and fly it to the starport for them. Yep!" He leans into the frame and snaps a picture of them with the Beetle in the foreground.

<Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.>

"I wonder why the translator isn't working yep? Yet. Yep."

Bailey and Bobo both scan the creatures and stay near Joan.

Joan Wright has posed:
Joan smiles to the little creatures and then watches as Ted takes a picture of the gathered critters. "Can I get a copy of that picture? Yep. Or is this more of a classifi-Yep thing?" A glance is given to the supposed ship the group came from. "Yep-They all fit in thereYep?"

Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord drops the phone and begins bobbing up and down. "Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep... run..."

<Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.>

<Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.>

<Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.>

<Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.>

<Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.>

<Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.>

<Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.>

<Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.>

<Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.>

Joan Wright has posed:
Hearing Ted start to go on repeat mode, the architect turns her head. Seeing the billionaire bouncing up and down, Joan's brows raise.

"What's going on-yep. Yep. Yep." Joan clamps hands over her mouth, trying hard to suppress her case of the Hic-yeps. What on earth is going on?!

She doesn't have much time to think about it as she soon finds herself scooped up by Bobo with Bailey helping in the forced extration.

"Yep.yep.yep.yep.yep..."

Ted Kord has posed:
Ted Kord begins dancing around with the little creatures, looking silly, even for Ted. As Joan watches, they form a conga line. Bobo whisks her into the Bug, Dropping her unceremoniously in the pilot seat.

Of course she knows how to operate the Bug. Humans can do anything. Bailey flits back and ties pulling Ted out of the line, which is adorable but she just gets pulled along, joining the line, in effect.

Joan Wright has posed:
"Yep.Yep.Yep.Yep.Yep"

As the distance between herself and the alien Yep-men grows, Joan finds the effects tart to wane.

"Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep."

She sits on the seat without protest.


"Yep."



Eyes look to the controls.

"Oh No. Ted! Bobo! Get Ted!"

Ted Kord has posed:
Bobo follows orders. He is mildly puzzled why Joan doesn't just use a needle beam on the little sons of glitches. But he doesn't question human judgement. It is judgment by humans!

<Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.>

<Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.>

Ted is having the time of his life.. Now it's the can-can with Ted doing kicks worthy of a Rockette. As the bot picks Ted up the Yeps jump onto his legs and wrap around them, still yepping. Bobo begins flying back with Ted and the hitchhikers. Bailey makes a leap of logic and seems to realize Joan wants to limit Yep Human interaction. She grabs onto the bigger bot. Her supplemental thrusters pop out and glow white hot as Bobo grinds to a halt, then continues flying, barely noticing her.

<Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.>

Joan Wright has posed:
Joan waits in the Bug, watching the bots from the open hatch. Considering the effects she felt, it didn't make sense for her to run out there again. That'd just compound the problem.

And there's the matter of the search and rescue group that's supposed to come later. How are they go-

Dammit.

Making her way out of the ship but staying away from the yeps as far as she can, she looks towards the ship to see if there's anything noticably off about it that needs fixing.

Like she's a judge of alien space craft.

Oh the heck with it. Finger gun out, she focuses upon the craft. What stray parts are lying around?...

A few yeppers bounce near the craft.

Well... can't do that.

Ted Kord has posed:
The little pod rattles and shakes and then the smoke ceases and the vehicle begins to hummmmmmmm smoothly. Above Bailey finally yanks the last last Yep off Ted's leg and after throttling it briefly drops it. While Bobo still holds Ted, Bailey hauls off and gives him a slap!

<Oof.>

<Ow. Geddawf!>

<Hey, the broad fixed the runabout!>

<Cool, I thought these ape people just wannid ta YEP all day!>

<Yeah got a one tack mind they do.>

<Yep.>

Ted screams, "Cut that shit out right now!" The Yeps fall silent.
