---- End Snip ----
The elevator crunched to a halt two feet above the floor and the
doors jammed half way open. Tara walked sideways through the door and
jumped to the floor. The small wheeled robot that was Xavier scanned
the gap to the floor and then turned his robotic scanners to his
wheels. There was an annoyed static sound, that Tara could only
presume as a sigh. The lift jerked a few inches and Keto yelped.
"As much as it pains me...." Keto said.
"Don't even finish that sentance Xavier." Tara interupted him and
hoisted the adapted maintainence droid onto the floor. The abrupt
change in weight surprised the lift so much that it dropped the last
few hundred feet to the floor, where it impacted with a rather wet
squashed bug sounding thud. Keto and Tara did a double take.
"Did you.."
"Yes... I suggest we move faster now" Smoke trailed after Keto as
he did a wheelspin and accelerated towards the launch bay. Tara shook
her head and set off at a jog after him.
The Inbound Raven was just about to launch as Tara picked up the
heavy robot and thrust it into the cargo hatch before grabbing onto
the edge and pulling herself up into the lower decks of the Raven.
The ship lurched as it rocketed out of the Blue Dwarf and into space.
A blast rocked the ship and Tara pitched forwards landing on Keto.
"Would you mind ever so much removing yourself from ontop of me."
Keto asked. Tara stood up and was forced to take shelter between two
carbo boxes as another blast threw her sideways.
"Great fun." she mumbled.
---- Snip Too ----
"Now what do we do?" he asked himself, turnign around and joining the
rest of those on the Raven in the cavernous mid-section.
"Guys?!" he shouted out, and silence steadily replaced the nervos
chatter of the crowd. "We need a plan."
---- End Snip Too ----
Tara walked out of the elevator into the mid-section just at the same
time as Dean did. Keto squeaked after her.
"I suggest we save power, shut down the engines and unnesicary
lights, we don't know how long we are gonna be here for. I mean all
well saying two days, but what if the bugs are still there?" Tara
said, nursing a bruse on her arm.
"What happened to you two?" Dean asked.
"Close incounter with a cargo box." Keto growled.
"So what about my idea? I mean appart from that i'm cluless, i
guess we just have to sit tight. Anyone for a game of eye-spy?" Tara
said, unaware of what happened to Phil in the shuttle.
<Tag, Dean you wanna fill Tara in on the crash?>
