Sorry, sorry.  I blame longweekenditis.

Attach the Gun Turret to the left arm stump!  Then vote North- I can just blow out that pillbox.

Stevo trudges North, because it's the farthest away from where he is. Back in Australia, everywhere away from Australia was safer than 'here' so the farthest path must be the safest!

In other words, meet up with D.C and vote north ^^

Sorry about the delay, bowienauts. I got stuck on a piece of dialogue that sapped my will and that I then disliked so much I deleted the turn. I should be able to update this at the weekend.

The Magnificent Timelord: Bowienauts at Speedograd. Turn 21.

TURN TWENTY ONE

Stevo trudges North, because it's the farthest away from where he is. Back in Australia, everywhere away from Australia was safer than 'here' so the farthest path must be the safest!

In other words, meet up with D.C and vote north.




"Aw, mate!" grumbles Steve Irwin to camera before breaking into a hard bout of Australian logic. "Wherever I am is proper dangerous, right, and I need to get safe. The only logical thing to do is to get the hell away from where I am, eh? Crikey. Furthermore, Australia is pretty dangerous, and I'm there quite often, so to increase my chances of getting to safety I should probably head north." He stops to look around him. "Come on fellas!" he cries, before realising. "Oh yeah, I forgot you lot buggered off several turns ago, eh. Yer cheeky little critters."

...He trudges off along the river's edge until he comes to what seems to be a safe looking ravine. Noticing the tell-tale signs of a hungry croc, he feels reassured by the friendly familiarity of killer reptiles and heads west along the path.

Attach the Gun Turret to the left arm stump!  Then vote North - I can just blow out that pillbox.



"So..." mutters Crockett. "If I... yeah... that should do the trick. I'll fix this strange foreign killing contraption here... I should be able to rig it with some kind of... Oh blast. How am I meant to do corrective field surgery with my only arms stuck in my face? Damn and blast. Oh! Howdy, Stevo!"

"Hey Davy. Where the others got to? What the hell's that thing you're chewing? Is that... is that some kind of gun turret?"

"Yes sir, it's a Nazi gun turret I took from that there dino-machine earlier this evening – I figured I don't have no working arms on my shoulders, so why not put the space to good use? But the thing is I've got no working arms on my shoulders to attached the damned thing."

"Bugger, mate."

"Yep."

"Crikey."

"Yes sir."

Stevo bends down and struggles to tie his bootlaces. Davy coughs.

"Say, I can't help but noticing... you er... you seem to have a perfectly functioning arm there, Stevo. I... um..."

"No way mate – I've only got one, and I mea-"

"No, no, Stevo, I wouldn't do that to you, not in a thousand... yeah... anyway, no, I just wondered, could you mount it for me?"

"What?"

"Yeah, could you just, kind of, you know, thrust it as hard as you can into my shoulder?"

"Oh, right. Yeah, sure thing, Davy. Here, brace yourself, mate!"

"I say. Tarnation."

"Crikey!"

Item Acquired: Davy Crockett: Fully Automatic Shoulder Mounted Tank Turret

"Okay! Let’s go! Let’s get to that stadium and to safety!"

...The intrepid pair of real men’s men set off once more, Davy Crockett now proudly sporting his fully automatic Nazi tank turret and every now and then correcting his stride when he finds himself tottering over to the left.

Suddenly there’s a crack of machine gun fire.

"Crikey mate! Hit the dirt! There’s some kind of Nazi machine gunner in that damned pillbox the Timelord warned us about! Oh shit, wait, I think I’m hit."

A dark patch spreads across the back of Stevo’s trademark shorts as he lies face down in the sandy loam. Crockett inches towards him as the bullets whip by overhead.

Wound Acquired: Steve Irwin: Groinal Bleeding!

Paul McCartneys sings a healing song while Archimedes patches himself up!



Paul looks over at Archimedes, slumped against a rock and holding his head in his hands as he wonders just what the hell he could do with his molested leg. Archimedes suddenly looks up.

”Paul, you know, I just don’t know if my poor leg will get over this. Steve’s brain did some pretty messed up stuff back there. I don’t even really know if I’m ready to talk about it.”

”Hey man, perhaps a song might help.”

...Paul breaks out his guitar before Archimedes can contradict him.

”Soft kitty, warm kitty-“

Paul stops strumming, his arms falling to his side.

"Oh, hum. I don't think that song's as appropriate to the situation as it could be, even if it does remind me of sleeping and healing. Here's a better one!"

"You say you want a revolution,
Well, you know,
We all want to change the world.
You tell me that it's Speedolution,
Well, you know,
We all want to change the world.
But when you talk about destruction,
Don't you know that you can count me out,
Don't you know it's gonna be all right,
All right, all right?!"


”And that’s more appropriate?” asks Archimedes. ”Well, anyway, I like it.”

"Hmm... yeah… I feel like I can squeeze more out of that one. I'll get back to writing it when we're not surrounded by mines."

”You really should, Paul, I really like it! I think you got something there… hey! I’ve even begun to forget the pain already!”

Anyway, time to sit down and fix that leg, before I cut it off. The mines 'll wait.



...Morale restored by the pulsing music emanating from McCartney’s magical hands, Archimedes gets an antiseptic wipe from his medical kit. He carefully unwraps the sealed packaging and unfolds the wipe in his hand. He looks at the ten centimetres squared of sterilised and sterilising fabric.

It’s clearly not enough.

He reaches once more into his medical kit, pulling out a large bottle of bleach. He nods to himself, unscrews the top, and pours the contents over his leg.

Thank the Bowienauts, and follow them wherever they decide to go



”Hey, thanks, fellow time adventurers!” says Rasputin, ...to his fellow time adventurers. ”Hey, lads? Lads? Oh crap. How… Where…”

Suddenly Rasputin hears the unmistakeable crunch of Nazi jackboot on gravel.

”Oh blast! A three man Nazi patrol just up ahead!” he mutters to himself, crouching behind a nearby bush. ”Strange, I can’t seem to see them on my neuromap…”

((You forgot to update my status. I no longer have the d6 bonus to cut off my own leg.))

Set up the solar laser then break my left arm, then set it again, correctly this time. Not moving yet.

((You forgot to update my status. I no longer have the d6 bonus to cut off my own leg.))

Also my cooldown.  The d6 rounds I can fire- I assume they have to all be the same round?

"Boy, you're gonna have to quit that bleeding.  Let's get some cover and get you patched up."

Fire off smoke rounds to cover us from the pillbox and help Steve patch up.


There's no strewn body parts here, so it might be tricky to turn your groin into an abomination.

Watch as I wrestle my groinal regions into submission in the middle of the field.

Does anyone else think that I was unintentionally implying what I now think I was... to heal a wound? o_o

Paul McCartney, making sure no one is looking, fiddles with his guitar for something unseen.

"A-ha!"

He clicks a switch and strums a string. The sound is pleasing to his ears.

"I knew the gentle-loving modifications I made back when I rode in the Peace and Love Bus would come in handy someday! Stevo, don't worry, I've got your back! Now I just hope the reversed polarization isn't purely cosmetic..."

Paul McCartney points his guitar - which is now set to ALLY instead of ENEMY - and points it at Stevo from afar! He directs the Power of Gentle Loving at Steve Irwin!

Oh wonderful. So now we have a beam of gentle loving being fired at a man wrestling with his groin. This is going to turn out so well.

If noone else can see the blatant innuendo, then I'm a very very bad person, aren't I?

I can see it, but that does not make you less dirty. Yes you are.

"Hey steve." You speak into the air.
>Yes?
"Could you guys also make a hamburger out of this arm when they cut it off? I wanted to eat it just for the sake of tasting it."
>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

TURN TWENTY TWO

Fire off smoke rounds to cover us from the pillbox and help Steve patch up.



"Boy, you're gonna have to quit that bleeding,” shouts Davy Crockett, crawling under the heavy fire towards the groinally bleeding Australian. “Let's get some cover and get you patched up,” he adds, ...before aiming his shoulder-mounted Nazi turret towards his own groin and letting off ...half a dozen smoke rounds.

He writhes in pain on the ground, hands clasped firmly to his crotch as smoke billows forth.

”Crikey, Davy. Do you know yer groin’s on fire mate?”

Wound Acquired: Davy Crockett: Bruised Crotch!

Wound Acquired: Davy Crockett: Burning Groin!

Yknow what? WRESTLE THAT WOUND INTO SUBMISSION! GET IT IN A CHOKE HOLD, AND TELL IT TO BUGGER OFF, MATE! CRIKEY!



...Seeing Davy Crockett roll about on the floor holding his groin gives Steve Irwin an idea, although not that one, mate.

”Yknow what, mate? You’ve totally inspired me, fella! Crikey! Right, groin-blood, you can bugger off! Crikey!”

Standing up briefly before noticing the stream of machine gun fire passing overhead, Stevo leaps back to the floor, tackling his groin to the ground and getting it into a choke hold. Whilst Davy Crockett burns his groin on the ground nearby, Steve Irwin chokes his own crotch into submission. Suddenly he notices a damp and warm sensation running down his leg. He looks. It’s blood! He glowers at his thigh, and starts hammering the blood back into his groin with his fist!

Just then he notices a beam of gentle pleasantness streak across the sky. He feels quite relaxed. He decides he might maybe have a doze.

Paul McCartney points his guitar - which is now set to ALLY instead of ENEMY - and points it at Stevo from afar! He directs the Power of Gentle Loving at Steve Irwin!



...Paul McCartney, furtively glancing round to make sure no one is looking, fiddles with his guitar for something unseen behind the neck.

"A-ha!"

He flicks a switch and strums a string. The sound is pleasing to his ears. Archimedes turns to watch.

"Heh,” starts Paul. “I knew the gentle-loving modifications I made back when I rode in the Peace and Love Bus would come in handy someday! Stevo, don't worry, I've got your back! Now I just hope the reversed polarisation isn't purely cosmetic..."

McCartney strokes gently and a beam of gentle pleasantness starts shooting off into the sky. But just as he’s about to come to the end of his song he notices Archimedes! He –

”Oh, dude. Gosh.”

Technology Discovered: Paul McCartney: Reverse Polarisation!

Set up the solar laser then break my left arm, then set it again, correctly this time. Not moving yet.



...As McCartney’s musical improvisation reaches its climax, Archimedes decides that the obvious thing to do would be to break his arm. He sets down his solar laser in a position where it can gather some of the piercing moonlight, finds a nice big rock, and sits down. He smacks the rock with his arm a few times.

Suddenly!

Snap!

Success!

A piece of bone pokes out!

Archimedes flounders about on the floor, far too contorted in pain to be able to see to his latest wound.

Wound Acquired! Archimedes of Syracuse: Broken Left Arm!

Hide from the patrol but watch them.



...As he hides in his bush, Rasputin pokes his face through to watch the Germans. They turn to approach him! Just in time, he mind-controls his beard to all but cover his face, camouflaging him expertly and leaving tiny peeking holes for his eyes.

The German soldiers walk past, mistaking Rasputin’s tremendous beard for a Russian swallow’s mating display.
