" I did not think the flight would be long enough to consumerefreshments anyway. That is of course you are not concerned about blockingyour airway with edible treats." 

Galu smiled.

“I find that some species eat when they are nervous but like you I thinkwe will not be away for too long.”

" I am sorry , I am finding myself nervous. I tend to rumble...nothat's not right ...I tend to ramble ...yes ramble is the term , I tend toramble when I am nervous."

“Do not worry. I am sure tha….”

He saw Zot look at his console when the power to the shuttle went out.

~Ow great~

" Lieutenant Merek," Zot yelled. "Someone hacked oursystems "

~This is going to be a very short flight~

He felt his stomach drop as the shuttle fell out of the sky. He lookedat the small console at his elbow and watched as the screen went from confusingjumble back to its standby screen. He began to punch in commands which werefollowed by they were sluggish.

~This is not good. We can’t fly like this~

 “Only way to be sure they’re out of our system and didn’t leave usany surprises is a hard restart before we fall to our death.”

“Now in the air?” 

“VOSI, HARD RESTART, THAT’S AN ORDER!” Her voice was loud but the tonemore urgent than harsh.

 

“Yes Lieutenant.” 

“Panel SEVEN!”

~Of course it is~

Galu looked at the back of the shuttle as he unclipped his restraints.He staggered back unsteadily to the panel and pulled it off as the shuttlelurched. He dropped hard to the floor wincing in pain as his knee connectedwith something. He jammed himself into place and the thrust his hands into thehatch way.

~Okay slow is quick and quick is good~

 His hands moved methodically as he powered down the shuttle hopingthat he would not miss a step.

~Were down, lets get back up again~

He brought the system back online trying to cut as many corners aspossible with blowing them up.

~There done~

He was squashed into the floor as Merek pulled theout of the controlled dive. He held on as the shuttle went through sometight maneuvers knowing that heading back to his seat was probablynot a good idea.

“Everyone OK back there?” he heard Merek’s voice from up front

“In one peace.” He replied.

(Reply All)

“I’m setting us down about half a kilometer from the crater. Get yourgear ready landing in two.”

~Okay up you get Galu. Time to get to work~

Galu groaned as he pulled himself off the deck and moved carefully backto his seat. He looked over at Zot with a pained smile

“Well that was a fun start. Let’s not do that again.”
