Steem Wars Episode 2: The Farce Awakens

in #steemwars6 years ago (edited)

What does the Steem want with me? Here I am, all-powerful Timelord, flitting about the Steem streams of time trying to organize a rabble of misfits to complete missions, but towards what end? I'm beginning to think the Steem is making a huge joke at my expense.

A new crew called The Darths answered the call and were given their important mission.

A rebellion is in its infancy on the Planet Shabba. Squash it before it begins. Use maximum force. The Qluegnishea CANNOT be allowed to rule.

Led by the overthinking Darth Speed - @hispeedimagins - they sped towards their destination and entered orbit around Shabba, avoiding its curious brown moon.

Ani-won Kirsten - @anikekirsten - strong with The Steem, ascertained just why Shabba's moon was brown - and she didn't need the power of The Steem, her nose was quite sufficiently equipped to deduce it was a poop moon, and the inhabitants of Shabba were no better...

Noont Ewan - @Hazem91 joined in the Poop Wars. Mistaking “If things get ugly, find their queen, kidnap her and we’ll reach out after six days. Ah, and beware her magic spells when you carry her” with “If things get ugly, find the queen, take a nap with her and if you’re lucky enough, have sex with her and they will beg you to marry her,” he somehow saved the day, The Steem knows how...

Jayna the Hutt from Fatooine - @jayna - joined the crew and completely missed the Poop War. Lucky she did as from orbit she watched as a previously hidden horde of Qluegnisheans sneaking up on her crewmates, lulled into a false sense of submission by the sneaky Queen of Poop.


Crew of the RS Flying Wardrobe. A closing down sale is about to start in the Zzzzzzqqww quadrant. Fill your ship with bargains and await further orders. Or. Bad. Things. Will. Happen.

Piloted by R2-BEX2 - @bex-dk - the RS Flying Wardrobe ignored Dr. Muxx's instructions and took a detour to Libris to rescue word magician Jay - @damianjayclay - but due to the outbreak of virulent strain of Proget's Disease, the planet was under quarantine.

Missing his pants, despite transforming from his previous petunia form, Carnif-Geb - @jonknight - acquainted himself with the rest of the crew.


At the other end of the Galaxy and in another Steem Stream, Sarah Connor - @diebitch - got her funk on with sex robot FU800, although he wrongly insisted he was a T-800 Terminator unit.


Aboard the Intangible, disassembled droid Sixty - Wine - @caleblailmusik - came back online, he listened to some robo-hip-hop and promptly threw Negavader under the bus, informing Galac'dicTater Tangle - @tanglebranch - that her minion - @negativer - was planning to usurp her.


Miss Fixit - @catherine813 - part of the Droneflies crew, lamented Captain Trickle's treatment of her beloved ship, the Dronefly and reproduced an accurate representation of its sleek curves.

Meanwhile the good...ish Captain Trickle - @rhondak - questioned Dr. Muxx's sanity when instructing the crew to ignore Dr. Muxx's instructions.

Visit Whoopass 5 and meet with a delegation of Xripaq leaders. The Steem does not know why, but it is vital to our survival. This message will not self destruct after 5 seconds, that would be silly.

Her selfish plan involved travelling to Laegur to pick up a fare, the fat anarcho-capitalist Lain Dakota - @anarcho-andrei. Sigh.


The Steem stirs and The Steem flows, calling another to a quest. Bounty Hunter Kaber Tauss - @dbzfan4awhile - answered said call, along with co-pilot Con Froyo. They made the rash decision to ally with The Darths...


Finally, Meme Lord @Sircork performed feats of meme magic, bringing the full power of the Meme to the Steem.


Dr. Muxx cradled his sonic pencil, rocking back and forth. The Steem will be the end of me. Why can NOBODY do as instructed? Still, what The Steem wants, it usually gets, one way or the other. Rubbing the area where his second brain resides, The Good Doctor decided he needed help. Mortals were out of the question, they would not be able to adjust to the multiple timelines he would have to traverse. No, there was only one...

Dr. Muxx shuffled to a corner of the RETARDIS and rummaged through shelves filled with dusty boxes. It had been a while since he was forced to shut down his maniacal AI system, but desperate times called for desperate measures. Finally he found the object of his search, a nondescript box marked with the letters MB and a bright red label that read 'DO NOT OPEN'.

He opened it. A faint red glow still glowed within. Good, that will save me recharging him. Dr. Muxx removed a small mechanical dohickey, blew on the dusty contacts and plugged it into the RETARDIS. A hum rattled the ship, lights dimmed and a mechanical voice boomed throughout.

shivers run down Ani-won's arms, neck, spine, legs, and other nondescript places

an old Earth symphony plays through the Steem, of a Beetroot Heaven and the Fifth cacophony... BaNaNaNaaaaaa

suddenly craving fruit, Ani-won raids the kitchen

I am completely baffled as to why people haven't found this series yet. This calls for drastic measures!!!

Kuhhh-Kssshhhhh, Kuhhhh-Kssssshhh... "Man, I don't know how anyone wears these Sith-forsaken helmets."


It's so very stylish, though

Maxipad is alive! Why is he so familiar?

As far as maxipads go, that looks decidedly uncomfortable.

I'm no expert, however.

Nice read. I leave an upvote for this article thumbsup

You have no idea what I have in store for you. The truth will be awakened.
