I kept a straight face. I just don't see how a sponge with potato ears is funny.

The more the merrier. Next post coming shortly. Taking a shower first :)
Yay! :D
That was at the next post coming soon thing, BTW.

"Fascinating. What is this space debris exactly? Where's it from? Why did you take it?"
"You ask a lot of questions..."
"Uh-oh!"
"...and I like that."
"Phew!"
"Although, I'm afraid I can't tell you. I shouldn't really have let it slip about the debris in the first place, but shit happens."
Eep. OK, I'll just sit tight and eavesdrop, like you said.

All the seats are taken so I sit on Bork who, being a robot, doesn't care in the slightest.

"So, the ship will follow the plane back to Cerria, with the debris?"
"Ssh! We've all managed to play it cool thus far. Don't blow our cover by saying stuff like that!"
"I'm just worried! We planned on coming on this flight to prehistoric Earth and pressing that red switch to teleport all of us onto our ship, which followed behind us with one of our pilots at the helm. We managed that bit fine and then used the tractor beam to steal the meteor in order to save the dinosaurs. But then we get zapped back to the plane? Someone must have pressed the red button again while we were gone. So now the meteor is sitting on our ship unattended. Are you sure it'll follow us back on auto-pilot?"
"YES! Now be quiet! Do you want the Cerripod or his two cronies to hear you?"
"Why did we even have to come on this flight? Why couldn't we just come here in our own ship and steal the meteor without any interference?"
"Because our ship can't create wormholes for time-travel, whereas this plane can. Our ship followed this tour plane and jumped through the wormhole it created just in time."
"Clever."
"Yes, now shut up."
Wow. This day just gets more and more bizarre by the minute. I only wanted a quick ride in my hotair balloon!
We just found our rock! :cool: :D
Now, I say we hug one of the Silver People and push the button. This should teleport us to the ship with the meteor. Hopefully this will work. Otherwise a Silver Person gets a hug! :hug:
If my idea doesn't work, just hit it again to bring them back. From that point forward I will go according to what happens.
Aha! Blackmail city, here we come. We blackmail them!
Yeah, that's an idea. We tell them to teleport us to their ship so we can grab the meteor and rock surf!
Wait, it wouldn't work. We don't have anything to hold against them. Nor do they have anything that anybody else but me wants. Except... the teleporter! We still can't blackmail them, though. We can't threaten them with anything. I go for my idea.
EDIT: I just remembered that time paradox dictates that the guy without shades and Bork shouldn't exist since dinosaurs didn't go extinct.
Yes, we do! We threaten to BREAK THE TELEPORTER. Then they cannot get back onto their ship until the ship goes back to normal time. HAve you seen airport security!?! It is harsh, man, no way they will let a giant space rock through. And the Jim can tell the authorities to arrest teh silver people whilst they argue with the authorities. And on the off chance this doesn't phase the silver people or else they call our bluff and attack us, we push the button again. They will disapear back to their ship and before they can back track to find us we will bail out the escape hatch. Now that we are normal size we need only one parachute and can give Jim the second one.
EDIT: Perhaps not. (The paradox thing, I mean.) For all we know this isn't even Earth.
Time applies in all of the Universe. We shouldn't exist. I'll let it slide, though.
I don't see how your argument would work. First off, there are no airports in pre-historic Earth. Second, if they do have airports in the future Cerria, then I would suspect the authorities would be involved with an operation so big. I doubt they would arrest the SP for following government orders. Third, we don't know what powers/weaponry they have. For all we know they could have the power to cause us to spontaneously combust! Or some futuristic weaponry that could knock us unconscious! Fourth, I don't see much reason why they would feel threatened by us breaking the teleporter. They said the ship will follow on auto-pilot, so it wouldn't matter to them.
Any other ideas? I go for the getting to their ship thing, though.
EDIT: If you're thinking of saying that the ship following the plane is illegal, we don't know that for sure. The ship may be following the plane as a government order. The pilots probably know about it.
No-no, the plane is soon going to slip back into real time and go to Cerria. SO the Silver People won't be able to get on their plane while it is moving. They will have to switch over once the plane is docked at the airport. BUT they are obviously not 'in on it' with the Cerrian government because the initial plan was not to wait on the plane until they docked at Cerria and switch over. That is the opposite of the plan. Their plan was to bail from the plane before it ever gets to Cerria, avoiding Cerria's authorities all together. To bribe off the government requires money. Why pay Cerria a cut of the profits if the plan is to avoid them all together?
Did I ever say anything about the time-travelling part? No, I didn't. This is real time, by the way, it is pre-historic Earth when compared to our time period. At this point I don't think we can return to modern-day Earth unless we get the meteor to strike QUICKLY. Cerrian authorities are the least of our problems, as that's we are trying to avoid. If we are ever going to get back home, then we have to have the meteor strike and kill the dinosaurs. I think we only have a time frame of around ten minutes in the whatever-you-can-call-it, so we should act fast. We should try several plans to get the meteor to strike, otherwise we're in a load of trouble. If we don't make it, then we would have to get a time-travelling machine at modern Cerria and get back here to get the meteor.
And when did they reveal their whole plan? They just said they took the meteor to save the dinosaurs! They said NOTHING about what happened before the took off of the ground or about their government involvements!
To take the meteor we would have to get to their ship. Obviously we would have to wipe them out after we teleport to their ship. Next, we have to destroy the tractor beam. That's what caught the meteor in the first place; we don't want it to happen again! Now we have Bork push the meteor off of the ship (or have the pilot drop it) and hitch a ride back to Cerria.
To sum it all up, the Cerrian authorities are the least of our concern. We need to kill the dinosaurs and restore natural time to return home. Of course we have to get the Cerrian government or other aids to help us get back to Earth. It is beyond our means to get to modern-day Earth in our present situation (after dropping the meteor), so we are forced to go to Cerria and get deported back to Earth. Of course a little trip doesn't hurt anyone! :cool:
EDIT: DAMN, that's one long post!
Whatever happens, we have to get that meteor to strike Earth. I don't want to lose my existence! :panic:
Finally, a supporter of my really long post(s)! :rockon: I'm on a roll today!
Okay, I still think we get less loot your way, but if you really want the meteor to strike Earth my massive brain has a solution. The Silver Person ship has the meteor in tow and the ship is auto pilot following the plane. If we parachute out of the plane, then keep hitting the button over and over again, (so that the silver people blink on one ship, then another, then another, etc.) the plane will crash and so will the meteor. HERE IS MY LOGIC! If we do not press the button again, the plane and meteor will go back through the wormhole and back to Cerria. If we just press it once the silver people win since they go back to their ship and can just fly off with their booty. But if we make them bounce back and forth, the pilot will not be able to ever get his bearings and they will all get too disoriented to think straight. The pilot will not be able to control the plane and it will crash. Right before it crashes we press the button again. (I bet an alien spaceship will have more crash features then a plane- so they should all live.) Since the ufo is following the plane, it will crash too, (the pilot should be too disoriented/not have enough time to correct the trajectory to fix the course,) and since it is bringing the meteor in tow the meteor will hit the ground as well.
Let's grope some silver people. that should be interesting!
Haha. I was hoping nobody would pick up on this. My completely false sci-fi explanation for this is thus:
Changes made to the past do not affect people who are not currently in their present time zone, so we will only cease to exist if we try to make a jump back to present day.
So we can either jump back to the future and cease to exist or live out the rest of our days on a prehistoric Earth? I choose the third option, crashing that meteor into the surface of the Earth and wiping those scaly bastards out! We don't even have to use the meteor, it can be something big, heavy and incredibly destructive. A recently dumped, overweight woman in her 40's would fit the bill, i think. :awesomed:
OK, that wouldn't work. First off, the pilot is ALWAYS on the ship just in case, so he is left out of the teleportation. He will always have control of the ship. Second, how will teleporting people crash the ship? That makes no sense whatsoever! They have nothing to do with the piloting! The pilot can fly off with the booty right now if he wants to, but where is he going to go?! Only the plane can time-travel! So, he has to follow the plane if he wants to go back to Cerria in modern times! PAY ATTENTION TO THE STORY AND WHAT IS SAID!!!! Proof the pilot isn't involved in the teleportation process and is just there for "just in case":
Really, it wouldn't do more than confusing/angering the SP that are just passengers/managers of the tractor beam on the ship. I personally think that is one of the worst courses of possible action other than letting them take the meteor and go back to Cerria with them. Plus, I doubt a crash would knock a REALLY heavy meteor fall out of something, especially if it is secured to their ship.
Or, you could try the decent-enough sci-fi explanation: In the future we drop the meteor, so everything goes back to normal afterwards, which includes our existence.
