Tractor Beam

"Reverse engines! Get us the hell out of here!" you shout.

Hiro, meanwhile, is standing in the middle of the bridge, laughing maniacally. "You heathens aren't worthy. You will burn in the fires of the Shub! I will ascend and join the glorious Angle Gods! I will..."

CRACK!

Hiro collapses to the deck in a shower of broken glass and cheap booze. Zora stands over him with an empty, broken vodka bottle. She looks over at you and smirks. "Nice work" you say.

"Hiro's an okay guy most of the time, except for that wierd religious thing. And the glowing. He's pretty good in the sack, though. But sometimes he just dosen't know when to shut up."

"Neither do you, Zora. Okay, what's our status?"

"The tractor beam is coming from the planet, but it's too strong. We can't break away." Blank reports.

"We still have weapons, right?" He nods. "Good. Fire the Destiny cannon at the planet!"

1. The beam lances out and blows Shub Niggaruth away. The tractor beam stops and the ship is safe, for the moment anyway.
2. The beam lances out and blows Shub Niggaruth away. But the ship, impossibly, is still being dragged towards the sun.
3. The planet seems to absorb the blast completely, and comes to life in a blaze of red light. "This is no planet. It's an ancient ship. The ultimate weapon of the Angle Gods." You turn in shock to see Hiro, awake and unharmed.
