One of his pious friends heard her wrong, looked at her in horror and said, "but Sister Miriam, you are to be chaste!"

It was then that Pigtree Olliphant-Jones lifted the Believer banner on high, and slammed it down onto his own toe, before removing it, and sticking into the ground (and commencing to jump around in circles holding his foot and saying "Ow, Ow, Ow..."), claiming it as Believer territory.

Then one of the authors noticed that he had made a most embarrassing typo in his earlier post and had written "his pious friends" instead of "her pious friends", therefore, after questioning the purity of Sister Miriam, questioned her gender - and the perception of the readers - as well.

A rock then bounced off the said writer's forehead, and the story continued, as Yang finally released his pinky, only to get his thumb caught by the same device.

The author, now having a nasty dent in his forehead and half blind, promptly proceeded to shoot himself to rid himself of the story, only to miss his head by some two feets and killing Yang in a frenzy of complete and utter absurdity.

Yang coughed and fell to the ground, preparing to say something really really deep, before he realized that the shot had bounced off his body armor and collided into the poor, poked-in-the-eye individual, and so he began to sing: "I em de gweat pwetenda...pwetendan I'm doong whale!"

Appalled that he wasn't a person able enough to even rid himself from this plane of existence, the writer finally disappeared from the ship as the bulkhead gave way to stress and opened up for a millisecond, allowing the air pressure to blow the hapless author out to deep space, where asphyxiation, or optionally burning to ashes in the atmosphere of Chiron, awaited him.

Deirdre, sick of this buffoonery, came along and gave the writer a good sock in the jaw, to which he responded, "Thanks...I needed that."

"Well, this is just nice, now this has no sense at all, I mean how could you Deirdre wander off to freakin' SPACE to hit me, can you tell me that, milady", the writer asked, while remaining somewhat flushed due to the 'gentle' touch of the lady - and apparently not stuck in deep space facing certain death, like any other sucky authors should be.

"Well, darn it all," replied Deirdre (after giving the writer another sock in the jaw, compliments of History Guy), "if you've noticed, we've landed, and we haven't actually left the pod, and so I have no idea what on earth you are going on about."

After hearing this, Yang stopped his singing and walked over and wacked the writer on the head and locked him in a trunk, and immediately afterward, the story commenced moving along.

As Morgan banged Lal's head against a wall, Ulric Svensgaard, infuriated that Zakharov and Yang were singing a Doo Wop tune that he did not know, began singing, "You know they call me Speedo, but my real name is Mr. Earl!"

Judaa Marr, after crash landing on Planet, heard Zak & Yang's singing & was quite apalled that they didn't alter the sounds correctly, and proceeded to show them the correct way of singing "I'm the great pretender".
