A quick recap from the last episode:
...then effurything else went quiet.
Parsley hollered. "We got that sucker dudes HOOAH!!!!!"
The heathens whooped, cheered, high-pawed and generally went berserk again as bits of the alien fell to the ground in smoking squelching heaps of charred, cindered flesh.
I helped Humphrey up the side of the sand dune and we looked at the carnage. Alien guts were effurywhere, and to be honest I was quiet relieved not to have been splattered in them.
Amber, Snowie, Pandora, Posie and Bob were jumping fur joy atop the other dune and suddenly came running towards us.
Aftur a few minutes of congratulations at our victory, Fudge said gravely, "Dudes, I've seen those Aliens before, they're them face-hugging, lava laying, busting out of the chest heinous mother freakers!"
We all turned to stare at him wide-eyed and and I said. "Fudge what aren't mew telling us?"
He took a breath and replied. "I was only a kitten when one crash landed at the farm we lived at..." he began to tremble and dropped his gun to the floor. "I was the only survivor but I saw what that thing did..."
'That explains a lot,' I thought too myself, then said gently. "Tell us more if mew can dude."
He gulped. "The big ones like that lay eggs covered in slimey goo, and a nasty lava thing hatches and searches fur any living creature, which it then impregnates ... a while later a baby one of those bigger ones bursts out of the victims chest... and goes on a killing spree..."
None of us had the wurds to express our sorrow fur his horrific kitten-hood experience. I patted him gently on the shoulder and then said. "Today my brofur mew got payback!"
He nodded and wiped a tear from his eye.
Parsley and Smooch were talking in sign language again; paws waving wildly and gesturing in all manner of obscene ways as they obviously didn't want to mar the moment of Fudges deeply disturbing revelation.
Snowie hugged Fudge as I sidled up to the two heathens and asked quietly. "What's the boggle dudes?"
Parsley looked at me. "If those alien freakers lay eggs, what's to say there aren't any on the TTTB?"
Smooch nodded sagely and added. "They could have hatched by now and be looking fur a host!"

Part IX
Holy Cow BatCat We've Got An Alien Infestation
**And Action!**
Posie floated towards us, a furry pensive look was etched across her face.
"What's up Posie?" I asked.
She glanced furtively around and then replied softly. "I heard what Fudge said about goo and stuff," she paused. "The stasis field was off-line just before when I was checking the holding cells, and at the time I didn't think anything of it but now I think those porkers weren't alone in their cell."
"Tell me that again?" I asked.
"The bounty hunter porker-dudes," she began. "The stasis field was off and they looked terrified as they stared at the ceiling. Then in the next cell I saw the scrap heap that was RMD#1 covered in some icky goo... dudes I think we've got an infestation!"
"Oh hell no!" I growled.
* * *
Meanwhile on the lower level of the TTTB...
...hatching had begun.
* * *
"Guys!" I said urgently. "We have a situation, Posie says the stasis field was off-line in the porkers holding cell and there was some icky goo in the next cell, if we look at the facts then we can safely say that we have an alien infestation on the TTTB!"
"Holy Cow BatCat!" Humphrey said. "Is it safe to go back inside as we're gonna need more weapons?!"
I looked at the boxes on the top of the opposite sand dune. "What's in those?"
"Flame throwers, Bazookas, Mini-Gun, oh and an extra special Gatling," Humphrey answered. "And then the extra ammo of course, there's a few Uzi's, AK's, pistols... mew know the usual can't leave home without it!"
I nodded. "So what's so impawtant in the TTTB?"
Humphrey looked a little sheepish before he replied. "That would be my new experimental gun."
I waited fur him to continue.
"It's still in the testing phase..." he said nervously.
I raised an eyebrow and gave him the look to expand on his explanation.
"It fires a triple beam," Humphrey began. "One inside the other."
"Oh a laser gun?" Smooch said grinning. "I love those!"
"Smooch, this one is a little different," Humphrey continued. "The outer light pulse freezes the target, the middle one renders the subject unconscious and the inner one deconstructs physical matter on a cellular level."
I let the wurds swim around my brains fur a couple of seconds before saying. "Mew mean it melts them? While they're frozen? And unconscious?"
Humphrey nodded.
"Sounds totally pawesome, what a rad idea dude... where is it?"
He pointed towards the TTTB and said. "I hid it in the cupboard next to the engineering console, but Basil I haven't really tested it on organic matter yet."
"Humphrey this is the purrfect oppurrtunity to see if it wurks!" I beamed, then added. "OK B Team, we're going to get Humphreys new weapon and do a sweep of the TTTB. Posie is going to go invisi-cat and scout the lower levels again. Fudge can mew tell us what the hatchlings look like dude?"
Fudge grimaced and gulped. "They had four long spidery legs, four tentacles and a oval shaped body, and it's blue. If those tentacles get hold of mew, that's it mew're done fur... once it latches on it releases a toxic paralyzing nerve agent, then it'll find your face and smother mew while it lays it's eggs down your throat."
Parsley growled, "Dude mew stay with us ok, we'll fry those bass turd alien muther freakers!"
Fudge nodded and headed towards the other dune and the pile of weapons.
He picked up a flame thrower and several extra mag drums fur his AA12. He also found a machete, and a rather lethal double-headed axe.
Smooch nudged Parsley and began to sign, paws waving all offur the shop. Parsley answered almost as frenetically and finally I said. "Can't mew two just speak like normal cats?"
They shook their heads and answered. "Nope!"
"OK so what's so impawtant that mew can't say it aloud?" I pressed.
Parsley drew closer and whispered. "Just look at him Basil." He pointed towards Fudge. "He ain't no pussy but dude he knows what's in there is bad, real bad."
"Your point being?"
"He knows it's a one way ticket, that why he's arming himself to the teeth dude!"
I turned to watch Fudge add several grenades to his tactical belt.
"Dude, he's gonna blow up the TTTB fur sure!" Parsley whispered. "He ain't gonna let any of them face-hugger things out alive, because he knows it'll be the beginning of the end if he does."
I nodded thoughtfully.
A few minutes later aftur we'd picked the boxes clean of weapons and ammo I said. "B Team let's move out, Snowie comms channel 5 on my mark," I counted down. "Go!"
Pandora and Amber were still arming up as we headed towards the TTTB door. Snowie was using her ipaw [purrsonal pawtible puter.] "Yep comms on 5 Basil!" she answered, and began to check her weapons."
* * *
Meanwhile on the lower levels....
* * *
We entered the bridge in total stealth, the regular lighting was still on which was nice fur a change. I gestured to Humphrey to get the experimental weapon and while he was arming it we did a sweep of the bridge.
"Clear!" I said quietly into my comms unit.
"Clear!" came the unanimous reply.
We headed towards the Katzen Karaoke Bar and the stairwell down to the lower levels. I pulled the door open extra quietly and listened intently. Signalling 'go' the B Team headed down.
* * *
Posie in her invisi-cat form was already scouting the lower levels, and she was just heading towards the holding cells when the most heinous muffled squealing and shrieking sounded. Posie sped towards the bars and saw one of the face-hugging-octo-spider aliens scuttling towards the bound space-hogs.
She zoomed to the nearest computer console and used her voice activation to opurrate the comms channel. "This is Posie," she whispered. "I have eyes on one of the hatched aliens, it's just about to impregnate one of the space-hogs!"
* * *
I signalled fur a full speed ahead and we charged like the heathen horde we are, in total stealth of course. I was priming my flame thrower as was Fudge. Parsley and Smooch were all about the Gatling and Mini-Gun, and they also had bazookas. Pandora and Amber had AK's and Uzi's while Snowie was packing a couple of AA12's and enough drum mags to start a mini-revolution. Humphrey had his ELG [aka Experimental Laser Gun] on full capacity as well as his usual AK and Glocks.
We accessed the lower corridor to see Posie hovering outside RMD#1's cell with a really odd look on her face. The kind of look where mew want to look, but mew also want to look away, but mew end up looking and are freaked the bejeezus out by what mew're looking at.
She suddenly turned and signalled fur us to stop. We did and thank cod we did because in the next moment those face-hugging-octo-spider aliens began to pour out of the the bars and into the corridor.
They moved with an odd jerky, scuttley and slippery squelching vibe, and believe me when I tell mew it was most disconcerting. And they were fast.
Humphrey moved front and centre and pointed his gun at the rapidly approaching face-leaching-egg-laying-hideousness's.
"Say the wurd Basil!" he growled.
I was just about to yell, 'FIRE,' when Bob popped up down the far end of the corridor and shouted. "Don't shoot Basil!"
Some the the face-hugging freaks turned sharply and headed his way, and right then in that moment, I had no clue what to do. If we opened fire Bob we be toast, if we didn't fire Bob would be toast, if we just sat there we'd all just be toast and alien fodder.
"BOB MEW'D BETTER HAVE A PLAN DUDE!" I yelled.
**AND CUT**
It's that time of the post, when we bet mew've more questions than mew can shake your tail at!
