Description of Events
Previous Incident: To Vega

Next Incident: High and Low

Following the crew's recovery from the intense partying, the Blue Dwarf is escorted to the busy Vega 22 space station. Although officials only there to pick up the new Space Eagle fighter, the crew is given a few days of R 'n' R.

Frank Harris, after getting into an argument with a marine colonel, organises a large scale paintball battle between the Blue Dwarf crew and a group of Space Corps. marines. Although not able to get many volunteers, Harris press gangs several Dwarfers into joining the fight.

Meanwhile, Efof Yu'Wan'Kar and James Johnson are arrested at customs after a misunderstanding. For their freedom, they are asked to sign-up on the side of the marines in the upcoming battle. They, rather gleefully, agree.

The following day, the teams descend onto the planetoid bellow. Harris leads the Dwarfers team, comprised mostly of security officers, and the marines are led by Admiral in Charge of Paintball, Al Gore, secretly of the Andromeda Galaxy. The aim of the game is to capture the opponent's flag and bring it back to your team's base.

Although early efforts of the Dwarfer's team yield little results, only the capture of an un-interrogat-able rabbit, the marines advance swiftly to the base. But the defensive tactics of the Dwarfers manage to fend off any marine attempts to enter the compound.

In Harris' advance party, the devise a plan to put Death Wish's suicidal behaviour to good use. They strap him to a rubber tree an prepare to catapult him directly into the enemy compound. And it is not just the Dwarfer's using unusal tactics. Efof and James, accompanied by Doom Harbinger, make for the weather control station and plan to make it rain green paint, the marine's team colour. They are stopped by Kayn Bestrom, who chases all three out of the facility.

White Wolf, however, has plans of his own. He digs in through to the enemy compound and sets up a water cannon that sprays blue paint. He clears a pathway to the flag and grabs it. As he prepares to escape back down his tunnel, the backwash from an explosive trap he had set up catapults him straight into the Dwarfer's base. The battle is won.
