"Got that right, those goblins are dumber than I thought. Chix! Quit teasing them, you'll get them agitated, then they'll break out!!!"
Holly narrows her eyes at Chix as he teases the goblins, then she focuses back on the shuttle controls.
"Lets blow this popsicle stand!"

[glow=green,5,300]"I'm not teasing 'em," Chix answers defensively, "I'm just sitting here, minding my own business--and zapping a scaly backside every now and again."
He snickers a bit, twirling a buzz baton in his hand and clipping a goblin in the rump as it tries to regain it's footing after being unconscious for several minutes.
"Popsicle stand?" the sprite blinks and scratches his head, then peers out the window, "I thought this was the Fowl Estate."[/glow]

"It's a turn of phrase, Chix you wouldn't get it. Another thing, stop zapping those things! You'll get them agitated!"
Holly hunches over the controls of the shuttle, trying to ignore Chix was not easy. Because he's annoying, stupid and ignorant. But Holly manages to ignore him, keeping her eyes on where she was going.

Not wanting to be anywhere near Chix or the goblins, Grub stations himself in the seat just behind Holly's. He makes an effort to constantly peer over her shoulder, trying to see out the windshield to ward off any motion sickness. The co-pilot seat is empty and the corporal immediately gets worried that Trouble has been left behind.
"Trub? Trouble?" he calls, glancing around the shuttle, "Where's my brother? Oh, please, don't tell me we left him behind--above ground in broad daylight!"

"No, he's in a separate shuttle. Don't worry, he'll be fine I sure hope he will be. Sit here Grub, it'll ward off the motion sickness."
Holly pats her hand on the seat next to her, which is usually where Trouble sits.

Grub cautiously moves to the co-pilot seat, trying to maintain his balance and keep breakfast down where it belongs. Fastening the safety harness, he leans back and takes a deep breath, suddenly realizing how tired he is after being bullied and terrorized by the goblins.
"Trub lets me ride shotgun whenever we're on an assignment together--even when he has the whole squad on board," he tells Holly upon opening his eyes again, "He's showed me how the controls work so I could pilot the shuttle in the event of an emergency. Fortunately, I haven't had to put my skills to use yet."

[glow=green,5,300]"Hey, how come I don't get to ride shotgun with you, Cap'?" Chix asks, sounding just a little bit offended by the fact that Grub was invited up there instead of him, "I mean, I did more work than Corporal Whiner there. Why can't I ride up front?"[/glow]

Holly sighs, being annoyed with Chix whining at her.
"Because he gets motion sickness, Chix. Besides, would you want puke on you? Or would you rather cope with being second-man?"

[glow=green,5,300]"All right, all right," Chix grumbles, kicking the back of Grub's seat just to get back at the little dweeb for taking his spot, "Fine, El Barfo can stay up there...for now. But next time we go above ground, I'm drivin'."[/glow]

"Alright, I promise you get to pilot the shuttle next time, Chix."
Holly goes back to the controls, hunching over them, so no one can touch them.

Grub jumps, startled as Chix kicks the back of his seat. He turns slightly to glare back at the sprite from around the headrest, but decides not to retort any further than that. He's best at picking fights with his older brother simply because he knows Trouble would never really hurt him...much.
He is extremely grateful to get out of the shuttle back in Haven. Drawing his buzz baton just to be on the safe side, he helps herd the goblins off the shuttle and into waiting cells where they will remain until someone can transport them all back to Howler's Peak.
"What were you two doing above ground in broad daylight anyway, Captain?" he asks Holly, "Something tells me you weren't on routine patrol."

"Alright, we land in hanger 8040, then we can drop off those filthy things. Me and Chix were on prank duty. Classified, don't tell the commander."
Holly safely lands the shuttle. The shuttle land right in place, as a cat could fall from a tree and land gently on a fence post.
"Are those convicts secure, Corpral?"

"Roger that, Captain," Grub replies, watching the goblins file past him and into their designated cells, "No problems here. And I wouldn't willingly whine to the commander. He doesn't take kindly to whining. I learned that the hard way."
The corporal flinches at a particular memory that comes to mind as he recalls the one time he dared to whine to the commander. Never again!

"Okay Grub, we need to get somemore officers out here, in case of an escape attempt."
Holly taps her buzz-baton on her palm, slowly waiting for the disgusting goblins to get off.

"Not a problem," Grub answers, channeling his brother's line, "Trub, we need extra officers stationed on Howler's Peak. Breach of security. Not enough staff up here to keep things under control. Captain Short is requesting more officers if you have any to spare."
