OK... but how pneumatic are they (the FBWs)?

(Pneumatic as in the year 649 After Ford. Those who know what I'm talking about will know what I'm talking about.)

Hmmmm…….Could a patron perhaps order something special? Let’s say a hearty side order of Revenge ala Khan? That would be served cold if you recall.

Agent Zero strolls in the door, looks around nonchalantly and shudders.
"Ick! It's all so... trendy! And why is there a Praetorian on the barby! Yick!"
With that, the Won Ton begins to shake violently, and a blinding white light begins shining from above. Strangely, outside, the windows are all black, and terrible shapes can be seen moving within the inky shadows. Soon, they grow close enough for their hellish howling to be heard, and the patrons scramble to hide vainley under the tables.

"Wait! Stop! I haven't decided yet!"

At the utterence of the word stop, the light vanishes, the darkness recedes and the heinous minions outside melt away to nothing. Agent Zero stands in the doorway, staring at his hands.
"By all that his holy," he whispers, looking up. "Did I just unleash the combined destructive force of both Heaven AND Hell?"
The look of sheer terror on the faces of the patrons is all the answer he needs. He wanders over to the bar.
"Um, I'm going to need a Galactic Core after that one. And barkeep, make it a double."

The Nultoh strongmen approach AZ and try to prevent his exiting the establishment, until they realise he said he'd been on his way to the Bar & Grill.

Then they move to the remains of the jukebox robot, which have pulled themselves together again. "Come on. Let's smash up this pencil-legged 'bot!" one says foolishly.

When the robot has vented his anger, mr. Huxtable proudly announces a new dish:

Nultoh Hachee

You need to take the J'Raenar out of the menu. *Omnious hum*

That "ominous hum" is Strategian's dimensional gate being overriden and shut down, drawing the Take-Out Hut back into (at least what passes for) normal space (around here).

"ATTENTION ALL OCCUPANTS OF THE TAKE OUT HUT!!", Woundwort (via loudspeaker) calls out from outside. "WE HAVE THE PLACE SURROUNDED!!" A quick glance confirms this, as the Hut is indeed surrounded by hordes of Mafia thugs and rabid Mongooses (check the Forum Grill archives for that one). "YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO SURRENDER THE TITLE DEED, OR WE COME IN SHOOTING!!!" A quick consultation of the head mongoose with Woundwort brings the addition "..AND BITING!!!"

"TEN..."
"NINE..."

Actually the ominous hum is a plasma cannon

Erm... no divine or unholy shield could even approach the strength of a modified Peacekeeper Command Carrier with hyperdimensional shielding. The Divine and Unholy is unique per universe, and thus count for only one universe (or in this case dimension too), but my shielding connects hundreds of dimensions with all their universes at the same time... meaning it's better than a Holy Hyper-Shield Generator.

Trust me, it's a very very very very bad idea to start arguing about the Divine with Angel. You'll lose. Badly. I know I have, many times.
The COMCA is gone, dude. Let it go...

I know I promised I wouldn't but I can't help myself! (Sorry Tim) Strategia: The sentence 'Divine and Unholy is unique per universe' only serves to underline your ignorance of the Divine. Interpretation of the Divine may vary from universe to universe and from culture to culture upon a single planet but the nature of the Divine is constant throughout this and any other universes. The Divine is the force that brought this and the infinate number of other universes into existance. Nothing created by the minds and hands of men can compare to the power of that which can create Infinity. Your Peacekeeper Command Carrier is a mere trinket, a toy, next to that sort of power.

I'm going to stop now, because it's just been pointed out to me that all this 'Well my ship's got super-duper-uber shields!' is nothing more than a geeky form of 'My male reproductive organ is bigger than yours.' And that's just infantile.
