I was hoping to add to the story this weekend but I just never got round to it - sorry
I would add to it now but I feel too tired at the minute (What's wrong with me?! stupid winter is throwing me out of whack)
I will add to it tomorrow - promise. Even if its just a small bit

"Safe don't do it. I repeat, do not do it. Don't power the generator... Safe? Do you copy?"
The com was dead.
"Do you think all this equipment is just for show... that its an elaborate coffee machine?" Ok asks "I'm in control now... your comm is useless"
"If he doesn't hear back from me, he won't turn it on. He won't risk my life"
"You really believe that? For all he knows you're already dead. You haven't been heard from since the ship hit. And..." Ok types some commands into a keypad on his chair "as of right now, the ships computers no longer register you as a lifesign"
"You can't..."
"Watch me"
OK needed to be stopped. That much was certain.
What Needy wasn't sure of was whether he could take the villain out before Safe charges the generator. As strong a feeling he had to throw himself at the seated maniac then and there, Needy knew that if one thing was important, it was the lives of the crewmembers on the ship, the people on this world. He needed to stop Safe from flipping the switch... or whatever he'd have to do to power it (mechanics had never been Needy's thing), before something really disastrous happened.
"I don't know what your big plan is, but you're not gonna win." Needy bravely proclaimed to the space-stowaway.
"Is that right?" OK asked calmly
"I will stop you" the boy whore asserted before turning his back on Kimmel and facing the entrance to the corridor.
Only instead of facing his exit, he faced an exit that was blocked by a figure that must had been previously standing behind him. Needy had to tilt his head back in order to take in the sight - clearly being this small was posing a bit of a problem. The man that now obstructed Needy's way out, and thus only hope of reaching Safe, seemed none to happy that the whore had discovered the truth of the Chamber.
The man standing before him was a fellow crewmember. The man was Doctor Me
"Why wait?" The figure asked in reply to Needy's strong statement.
Before Needy can react, he finds himself being raised up off of the ground.
The Doctor's right hand is tense and as Needy rises so does the doctor's arm, until the vertically challenged hero finds himself hovering 4ft off of the floor so that he is now at eye level with the telekinetic - the doctor's hand now mere inches away from Needy's chin.
"I'm afraid you're not going anywhere" he threatens to the now speechless Needy.
With one swift motion of the doctor's arm, the boy whore hurtles across the Chamber from the entranceway to the back, his back cracking as it collides with piping.
"Should never have left the Infirmary" the Doctor growls, before telekinetically shutting the doorway behind him with another quick motion of his hand.
"Would you like me to finish him off, Father?" OK asks his master.
"That will not be necessary", the Doctor mildly replies
"You have other plans for him?"
"I'm not sure yet - maybe. I haven't decided. It would be pointless to waste such a life, even one as worthless as his... at this time at least. He cannot stop us. I have forseen it"
"Yes master"
"Oh, c'mon!" Needy scoffs as he tries to get back on his feet. "You can tell the future? Like hell. You really have some gullible serv..."
Again, without warning, the Doctor uses his paranormal gifts to punish Needy's insolence. He is pulled from his position on the floor and thrust at remarkable speed to the ceiling, cracking his back one more time. After lingering up there for a couple of seconds - defying gravity - the Dr lets him go. The resulting drop of about 15 feets knocks the energy and one or two teeth out of Needy as he hits the floor fast and hard.
Not content with that though, the Doctor then really takes it out on him.
Needy hasn't even had the chance to think about recovering when he is thrown into t

"I thought you didn't want him dead" OK calls to the evil Doctor
"No, I said I hadn't decided. Besides, he'll live. Maybe not much, but he'll live nonetheless"
"It's just..." OK replies with a doubtful tone
"Yes?"
"I thought..."
"You're not programmed to think. Only to act" the Doctor pointedly declares.
"As were you." a voice calls from behind.
I locked the only entrance the Doctor told himself, unwilling to believe that someone could have entered. But he recognised the voice. And if anyone was to enter, it would be him
"As were you", the voice repeats, "but as we can see, my creations seemed to have evolved on their own"
The voice belongs to none other than Doctor Me, the original. Not the abomination that looks like him. Not he that has brought the crew of Destiny to its knees.
"What the... what... who are you?" OK asks, completely confused.
"He's an imposter" the evil Doctor calls out.
Doctor Me doesn't reply, or deny. He doesn't feel the need to. The only need he has is to sort this mess out once and for all.
"I know you haven't told Safe to stop what he is doing... you truly are a fool" the Doc imposter mocks
"Not yet"
"Kimmel, I hope you're blocking his receiver" Evil Doc says, briefly turning to face him
OK doesn't say anything
"Kimmel!" Evil doc shouts
"You think I'd use a normal comm that can be blocked by such crude machinery? You should know better" the real Doc interrupts confidently
"You can't stop me. I've become more powerful than you possibly can imagine" Evil Doc asserts.
"Spoken like a true ego-maniac"
Evil Doc raises his arm as he had done before, lifting Original Dr Me in the process.
"YOU CAN'T STOP ME!"
Dr Me, now raised 3 or 4 feet from the ground, shows no sign of backing down
"Yes I can", he challenges
.......................
I have to finish it there as my sister is in desperate use of the pc - hopefully I can carry on with it later tonight.
Sorry there's not many laughs from it, I don't know what's wrong with me - I can't have a conversation without cracking a joke, and yet I can't make light of this. Maybe in the next part

Wow, this is really boring. Anybody want to play a game? We could play 20 questions?

The evil, but identical-looking, Doctor uses his powers to throw Original Dr Me to a wall, pinning him to it a few feet in the air.
"You don't belong here! There can only be ONE Doctor" the evil double screams, showing signs of losing control
Original Dr Me, still unwilling to give in, can only reply "Look around you. It seems everyone on this god forsaken ship has a double, evil or otherwise. What do you think makes you so special?!"
The good doctor drops to the floor as his other half releases him from his grasp. Me wastes no time in getting back on his feet to confront the oppressor in their midst.
"You are a mistake. A hideous mistake. Sure you may look like me, but you are not Me"
"No, I'm so much better." Original Me can sense a speech coming a mile off as his evil counterpart continues "I'm not weighed down by your weak thinking, your useless morals. How can you expect to make progress in science... in changing worlds, civilizations... if you're not willing to take risks"
"Oh I took risks. You're living proof of that. But you have taken things too far. You have evolved to the point, as I had hoped, that you would think for yourself. But you do not weigh all the matters up first, you don't think with your heart, only your head. I made you perfect, and you spit in my face."
"And what... now you come to destroy me? What gives you the right?"
"I created you. I brought you into this world... it is my right, no, my responsibilty... to send you out"

"You will try" the evil Doc stresses, not noticing his creator is casually pulling out of his pocket a small handheld device.
"And you..." Me says matter-of-factly "you can fry." With that, he presses a button on the device he has concealed in his hand, which instantly causes his double to suddenly let out a inhuman shriek.
The double jerks and jolts, clenching his fists and pressing them against his temples.
He cannot form words. He cannot react to defend himself. He is helpless, and in a great deal of pain.
"I'm sorry, but you left me with no choice" Me states solemnly as he walks over to his double who has fallen to the ground, continuing to shriek in pain. Cringing slightly, he passes by and walks towards the Original Kimmel who still is situated at the seat of the machine, only now he is standing. No longer do they look upon the imposter that now lays dying on the floor a few feet away. A man whose skin has turned a pale blue, and whose eyes are clouded with blood.
"Shut it down" Me tells the last Kimmel. "Shut it down now, or I'll be forced to end you like I ended him"
Kimmel gulps loudly. He normally would never have backed down, but now he was in a position he never would have imagined himself in. He thought he was doing the will of god - his god at least. But he now realised he was merely acting on behalf of an imitation of his creator. He had no doubt in his mind that the real Dr Me could do it, could end his life. Kimmel may have been a smart man, may have evolved beyond his original template, but he knew that his true master was much smarter - and probably had the means to end his life at the push of a button. Hell, he'd actually seen him do just that only a few seconds ago
Dr Me gives him a look as if to say "this is your last chance".
"Yes sir... er... Father" Kimmel concedes, shutting down the operation.
"Now reroute the power"
"Sorry?"
"Reroute it. Get us out of here!"
"I don't know if I..."
"Yes you can" Dr Me encourages, his tone changing to no longer show the stern father in him, but the loving one
"Yes father" Kimmel flicks some switches, turns some dials and lastly punches on a few keys until the room glows a bright orange. The ball that once floated above the machine slowly engulfs the whole room, some of its light spilling out into the corridor through the open door, whilst giving off a whirring sound. The walls of The Chamber look like they're pulsating, in fact for an instant, the room has never looked more alive. It was a beautiful sight to behold, a glimpse of what might have been if Me's evil double had succeeded in his plans.
Then suddenly it is over. As Kimmel and Dr Me watch with baited breath, the light quickly recedes and the orange ball becomes concentrated until it is no bigger than a pin's head, situated at its point of origin, milimetres above a rod attached to the machine.
Then it implodes.
As Me had hoped, the great surge of energy hits the rod, which then channels it through the machine, the circuits and back into Destiny
Every room in the ship lights up, abundant in power.
Dr Me grabs his comm, and broadcasts on all frequencies. "We've got power... but we're still gonna have difficulty getting out of this mess. I've got an idea, but it's... well, you might feel a bit queasy, so I suggest you take a seat"
Next he turns to Kimmel, who is still a little fazed by the whole thing. "Do it"
"What?"
"Get us out of here"
"But... you mean, with this?" Kimmel asks, tilting his head towards the machine's controls
"It was built for a reason. Now let's put it to some use"
"Yes sir." Kimmel punches a few keys into the pad and then grabs hold of the lever situated to the right side of his chair.
"Wait!" Me calls out, causing Kimmel to jump. "Let me hold on to something first"
As Dr Me clutches a pipe on the wall, he nods to Kimmel giving him the go-ahead.
Kimmel pulls the lever

btw, science stuff - really not my strong suit

*One disappearing ship and seven sick bags later*
As the crewmembers scattered around the ship wonder what the hell just happened and if they're out of trouble, their comms crackle.
Then the sound of a familiar voice can be heard.
"We're all clear" Dr Me announces.
The other crewmembers look at each other, still clueless about what happened.
"We are? What just happened? It doesn't feel like we've moved... well not the way we normally would, that is" Serenity replies on her comm
"Well, I happen to have gotten my hands on a nifty little device down here... we just teleported the ship to dry land"
Again, the crewmembers can only look at each other, completely bewildered.
"We what?" Safe replies
"Don't concern yourself with it right now. We've got a ship that needs a fair bit of repair and..."
Dr Me pauses, as he realises that Needy still lays not too far from him, unconcious and in dire need of medical help.
"Oh no..."
...
Ok, thats it for now
I wrote a lot more than I expected to. But I thought I'd get that little min-story out of the way, but there's lots of work to do now.
Destiny needs fixing. So do I (or should I say, my character). Plus there's still a decomposing body to take care of (actually there's probably loads of Kimmel clones decomposing too). The infirmary is probably ruined, oh and there's a huge machine now in our ship that I suspect can do a lot more than teleport. It might even be able to send us to different time periods (such as the earth that was), alternate realities (like it isnt confusing enough on our ship), and you never know, it might actually make a decent cup of coffee.
I'll leave it to you for now. The important thing is that we keep flying

Whoa...
See what happens when you go from the site for too long?? You think too much. Nice work though.
ok how to continue on...
Safe picks himself up off the floor. He feels like he was just twisted inside out.
"Well at least the batteries are recharged..."
Safe looks out the porthole, Destiny now rests on the ground beside a large frozen lake.
"Great googlymoogly. How'd we get here?"
"I gotta get me a look at this machine Dr. Me created."
