The four letter word is definitley not fire!
Kara leaned back and sighed. "I'd rather fly it back after I check out the
source of that signal." She said.

>"Oh crap." he said, looking down at the hose that was busily

>He climbed up into the pilots seat and hit the ignition.
>Despite the urgency of the situation, Zodar had always prided himself

>He was suprised when he sped right past the missing shuttle,
>prompting him to screech to a halt and put the shuttle into reverse
>with a crunch, making that *beep, beep, beep* noise as he reversed
>alongside the shuttle. The two shuttles connected and docked and a

>"Uh, yeah... Over here." Came a voice from the darkness of the
>lifeless shuttle's cockpit
>"You're a polymorph?" Chris asked jokingly.
>"No, I'm Kara McGellen. I came out here a while ago, and I found this

>decided to shut down around me.
>"Oh ok, damn, um, d'you want a tow back to the Dwarf? I could try and
>repair the damage on site if you'd rather fly it back, it might take
>a bit longer, that's all. It's up to you either way."
