Plot Summary: TERRIFYING SPACE MONKEYS

[milkbonesoldier.livejournal.com]

Some time ago, Sgt. Laurence Cooper came running into the Bar yelling about the terrifying space monkeys. Naturally, that kind of thing attracts some attention! First of all from his old squad made Spoon, then from Harry Wells, and finally from Wesker. The first two conversations reveal that the monkeys had cybernetic stuff on their faces, or at least in some way resembled the Terminator, hence 'space'; also that they seem to've been giving off pure fear pheromones, hence 'terrifying'. The last conversation... well, that doesn't go so well.

Due to one thing and another (read: RL) it takes a while before the monkeys can be pursued. But eventually that opportunity arises, and our lads all load up and head off to the Scottish island of Unst, where Cooper came in from. There are monkeys, all right- plenty of monkeys. And those things on their heads? Laser targeting systems. You know how monkeys can be...

Fortunately, the facility the monkeys escaped from isn't too far off. And it just so happens that the introductory briefing system is still up and running. As Cooper says, at least the government seems to know what they're doing this time. Pity that the animals've all got loose, eh? Especially the big damn radio-controlled cybernetic pig. There is, however, one human left in the facility; Dr. Rayfield fills them in a bit more on what happened, and on what else they can expect: a few more fearmonkeys, a couple of venomous laser wolves, and Jimmy.

They make a break for the emergency exit when it becomes clear that conditions are about to get hazardous. Spoon insists on locating and rescuing the venomous laser wolves even as conditions get more chaotic, and they're within striking distance of the exit when Jimmy makes his appearance. Exeunt omnes, pursued by a bull.

Our heroes emerge directly underneath the finest bus shelter in the world. They are, alas, unaware that while their adventures took an hour or so in Scotland, it's been a few days' bar time. But they do return, and they are met by people who have been waiting for them, and the venomous laser wolf puppies are given to good homes.

So, in the end, all is well. At least for now; the briefing message did say that one of the scientists left the project long ago, and nobody knows what's become of him...

The MiBs are impressed.

Even they never had to deal with Terrifying Space Monkeys.

"There is no good reason for venomous laser wolves!" needs to be on a t-shirt somehwere.

Venomous laser wolves, Spoon insists, need love too.

Clark wishes to point out that during his endorsement of giving his cousin a puppy the words "venomous" and "laser" were never mentioned.

...not that that would be enough to rescind his endorsement, of course.

[mm_madb]

Spoon would like to ask Clark who better to love and care for something that could accidentally poison or burn holes in normal people?

[hero_farmboy]

Clark would concede the point. But he'll still inwardly flail! It's just what he does.

Sunshine would like to interject with the fact that it really really isn't her fault that she's an abomination of nature which should never have been!

Her life goals included being a house pet.

...using the puppy is dirty pool, he thinks.

But Clark would pat Sunshine on the head and tell her that being able to produce lasers doesn't make her an abomination.

Spoon never claimed to be an especially clean fighter.

Sunshine appreciates the petting.
