Forum Game: Catch the McGuffin.

[Agent 333]

My lifeless robot army collects the McGuffin from Low Earth Orbit (you didn't quite make escape velocity), and decontaminates it while I peel myself off of the cement. "Stupid cartoon physics!" I complain. My robots then hand me the now de-radiated McGuffin, and form a protective perimiter around me as I begin drilling straight down towards the Earth's core...

[gaghiel42]

In my awesome, unobtanium Core driller, I speed along side you and send a team out to hijack your ship.  My crazy sonic drill thing making short work of the side of your ship miles before we actually get to the scary part of the center of the earth.  The McGuffin is swiped from your ship as you struggle to keep yourself from being destroyed by tectonic shifts and we speed away, but as we get to the bottom of the ocean, the unobtanium cools and we're left stranded without power.

We, ditch the driller, and hand the McGuffin over to Ed Harris who takes it to the groovy aliens in the Abyss with his cool liquid O2 dive suit.

Participating in the latest raid on illegal aliens (what? ), I seize the McGuffin. With the help of a friendly desk clerk I keep it from being logged into Evidence. The McGuffin is secreted under the pillow of my angelic little girl, who has finally managed to sleep despite the pain of cutting her first teeth. Who would dare risk the sanity loss resulting from waking a teething baby?

Dressed as an obscene sort of tooth fair (with a pink tutu and everything) I sneak into her room and slide the McGuffin out from under her pillow, deftly replacing it with a shiney silver dollar.

After my escape (and change of clothes) I spray the McGuffin with invisibility spray and place it in plain sight somewhere in the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Nice; Glim killed the game.

My network of spy sattelites however are tagging all anomolous movements -- and someone in the middle of such a wide expanse certainly qualifies. My minions follow your exact route thanks to my next gen GPS receivers and literally stumble across the MacGuffin.

They return it to me, but en route they accidentially lose it through a time-space rift running through the centre of Cardiff, Wales.

[glimmerrat]

Following your minions in my TARDIS (I did point out earlier that I am in fact a Time Lord), I spend another season chasing the McGuffin through time, this time clashing with another Time Lord known as The Ruler. He used up all of his reincarnations and yet he still lives...

Taking the McGuffin, I travel across the galaxy to Cybertron (because Michael Bay is a dickhead - it wasn't blown up millenia ago after all) and give it to Optimus Jesus *cough* I mean Optimus Prime to look after.

[Mister Andersen]

Optimus and his brother Megatron eventually go to war over the MacGuffin, forcing Prime to launch it into space in a desperate bid to thwart his enemy. It tumbles through space and time until it literally comes to Earth where it will be found beneath the place that eventually becomes Hoover Dam...

[Aziraphale]

A few giant robots and a lot of explosions later I arrive too late to stop the boy shoving it the McGuffin into the chest of megatron. Common knowledge says the McGuffin was destroyed but I know better.

When Megatron is being dropped into the ocean later, i swim out and retrieve the Mcguffin from his chest. I laugh at the idiots who forgot to examine his remains properly before heading off to the middle east. Via many intermediates i eventually pass on the McGuffin to Osama Bin Laden for storage. Who best to leave it with, but a man that the american government has been unable to track down and capture.

[Mister Andersen]

Some few weeks later, US intelligence agencies receive some disturbing signals  chatter, including the disappearance of an entire unit of Pakistani special forces. Echelon records a familiar sequence that trips a large number of alarms. Arriving to investigate, Allied military assets through which my agents are seeded are greeted by what used to be the Tora Bora complex rising to its feet like some sort of celestial god. Amidst the chaos, I wisely decide that for now the MacGuffin is someone else's problem and sit back to wait.

[glimmerrat]

As Toraborabot (tm) stomps about Afghanistan kicking ass, a new and improved version of Mechagodzilla arrives from space, landing on toraborabot's head, destroying it instantly.

As Mechagodzilla sifts the wreckage for the McGuffin (which he wants for his alien master - me) Rodan, Mothra, Gigan, Baradon and King Ghidora show up and kick off in a massive continent devastating throwdown. Godzilla shows up and joins in too.

I sit back and say 'forget it - let the others try to catch that thing'

[Agent 333]

After Godzilla kicks the crap out of the other monsters ('cause he's Godzilla), I take a batch of Pym Particles and grow to his size. I wrestle with the king of the monsters for hours, until eventually I subdue him long enough to grab the McGuffin and run. I then use Pym Shrinking particles to reduce my self back to normal size and shrink the McGuffin so small it enters the Microverse, where its safe from normal sized people.

Acroyear and his friends owe me a favor from that time in Aruba where I extracted them from a misguided attempt to hang glide into Salma Hayek's cleavage (they missed and wound up in her husband's instead). After retrieving the McGuffin, the Micronauts digitize and meet me inside my laptop, where I'm planning to use the long-sought prize to reinstate the MCP, take over the net, and realize TR2N as the gods intended (or, at least, make sure the title is less gay).

[Mister Andersen]

Unfortunately, your laptop is home to the city known as Mainframe -- and even less fortunately its twin Lost Angles. Fleeing the chaos goddess Hexadeximal who resides there you find you've jumped from the frying pan into the fire as you're surrounded by heavily armed viral ABCs. This allows the virus mastermind Megabyte to snatch the MacGuffin from you and, ignoring the Evil Over Lord list, then consume a powersource larger than his head. This mutates him into TerrorByte, whence he goes on a cataclysmic rampage, consuming data and sprite alike until a Guardian strike force, while attempting to contain him, accidentially tear open a portal through which TerrorByte escapes into the vast and dangerous expanse of the Web...

[gaghiel42]

TerrorByte eventually gets too tired to go on from all the spyware and viruses he gets by sneaking around in the back 40 of the porn expanse of the web.  One of my specialized game programs catches him and yoinks the McGuffin back into the real world via my 3D replicator.

With the McGuffin back in hand, I hop on board the Enterprise and go do a couple of laps backwards around the sun and then stash it in a giant aquarium filled with Humpback whales while Spock is distracting people.
