Hi shippers! Welcome to Bonus Round 2.
Round Robin Fanadventures generated so much awesome stuff last year that we decided to bring it back!

For those who are new to HSO, this is not actually that complicated a concept, but it might be a little tricky to explain, so bear with me. The point of this round is to create a bunch of fanadventures that are for a team other than your own.

Rules

If you are starting a new adventure: start a new thread using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art setting a scene (or both!), and finish with a command (==> does not count as a command for new threads). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
If you are continuing an adventure: find a thread that does not center around your team's ship. Then comment using the title format defined below. Include either text or 1-2 pieces of embedded art continuing the scene (or both!), and finish with a command (this can include ==>, though generally we would prefer otherwise). Then sit back and wait for someone else to contribute!
For ease of reading, we suggest using standardized image sizes. 600x400 landscape is a pretty good size! But as long as it's the same as the other images in the thread, people will have an easier time following along. The HTML for inserting images is <img src="http://yourimageurlhere.com">
For this challenge, there is no minimum wordcount. We are trusting you not to abuse that fact!
You may not comment twice in a row in one adventure. The point is to hand off the scene like a hot potato.
You may not introduce or create for your team's ship into a fanadventure. If someone else introduces your team's ship to a thread, you can still contribute to that thread so long as your contributions do not involve your ship.
This challenge will run until 11:59PM EDT July 7. After that time, even if it's just by a minute according to the LJ timestamp, no submissions will be accepted for points.

NOTES:

Audio posts are fine, so long as you include a transcript.
Please make sure to check that your titles are correct!
You may answer commands that have already been answered. Think of it like a 'choose your own adventure' game!

Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, use this format in your title.

Replace [THEIR SHIP] with the ship you want this particular fanadventure thread to be. Remember that you cannot create a fanadventure based on your own ship. Whatever ship you choose must be represented by a HSO team not your own. The only exception is gen adventures, which are permitted.
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with. If your team name is not in this format and in the title it may not be counted.

If you are continuing a thread, use this format in your title.

Replace [COMMAND] with whatever command the previous fill has specified.
Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your title is not in this format it may not be counted.

Posts not using this format in the title will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, no matter what they contain. They, like all comments on the comm, are subject to the Wank Policy.

Scoring
(as stated here)
First 5 entries per team: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15: 10 (per entry)
Entries 16+: 5 (per entry)

All fanadventure content must be created new for this round.

We would prefer that any questions about this challenge or anything else in the HSO be emailed to us at homestuck.shipping AT gmail!

Your name is Jake English and you most certainly are in dire peril. Doctor Strider’s got you locked up in room littered with ROBOT PARTS, dismantled COMPUTERS, barely-touched MANUALS, and empty bottles of various brands of ORANGE SODA. He calls this his diabolical laboratory, but you’re pretty sure it’s just his garage.

No matter, you’ve been in trickier situations before! Time and time again Strider’s tried to capture you but you’ve always made your escape. Your lovely friends Jane and Roxy are under the impression that Strider’s a bit obsessed with you, but you like to believe it’s just because you pose a good challenge. And, blast it, the villain surely got you this time!

What’s that over there? You see a piece of paper sticking out of one of the manuals. Close enough to reach. You capture it with your foot and drag it towards you.

>Jake: Read note

The note is written in drunken feminine cursive, a style that you have been told is all the rage. Fortunately much practice allows you to render it as courier. It is one of a great many abilities you possess.

heyyyyyy jaeky jake jake
*jakw
*englsh
so i ws thinkin abouts a buncha things at once
u know how i do
an it came to me tht u might b in a bit of a jam!
and because im a bituva double agent and all i could lend u a hand
if you wanna get outta here u just need to appeal 2 di-stris human side

also theres a failsafe in thos cuffs

u just gotta whistle

prefs try some ke4ha

> Jake: Whistle some Ke4ha.

Smashing! You just know this will work as Roxy would never lie to you! She is as reliable an ol' gal as they come! You're just glad she told you about this.

For good measure you whistle a whole compilation of pop songs and look back to your cuffs, which will obviously pop open at any second.

The cuffs predictably remain closed. Seriously what kind of idiot would program in that shitty of a fail safe? Roxy was just having her jollies with you again.

However your whistling does seem to have done SOMETHING at the least, in that it has drawn a certain someone's attention.

==> Dirk: Investigate sound

You would love to go investigate but right now you have slightly bigger problems.

Something odd is happening to your robot minions. It appears as though the annoying whistling sound has activated a special program override that's somehow been installed into your entire robot army. Whoever managed to do this without your knowledge must be some sort of mastermind. That and apparently very fond of pink.

You send Lil'Seb to investigate the whistling noise, you've got buisness to take care of here.

==>Lil'Seb confront the prisoner.
