Cyril,
Slayer of Empires
It's a trout.
A GIANT SPACE TROUT.
Capable
of shooting forth jets of flame to smite the lame, the unworthy, and
the insufficently silly. And also, for some reason, donkeys.
Actually,
no it isn't. It's a high-tech flamethrower constructed using stock
FLEET components and a healthy dose of Board ultratech - a custom
weapon for Flax, blond-haired, sandwich-loving, demon-but-on-our-side
to the masses. While shooting people isn't really his style, he
accepted that sometimes the situation would demand a little hot flaming
death.
Legend hath it that while he was brooding on this in the
depths of the Funky Horror, a
trout flew in through an open window and
inspired him. Or at least, Flax's version of the legend hath it -
everyone else just says he reused the chassis from one of those Singing
Bass ornaments. Whatever the truth, he shoehorned a gas tank, ignition
system, various high-tech power systems and a targetter into the
"casing", and placed the trigger in a Humorous Spot. The tail forms the
stock. Traditionalists will doubtlessly be glad to know that in an
emergency Cyril can also be wielded as a two-handed club. The word
"Notabishi" has been engraved down the rubberised ventral handgrip in
honour of fishbulb42, the weirdness-smith who assisted Flax in Cyril's
construction.
Still has that weird tendency to go off when pointed at a donkey,
though.
