The light was dim. It flickered for a second before everything finally brightened and came into focus. Wheatly's HUD popped up again. He blinked and gasped.

"Hello?" he called.

"Wheatly, old chap!" Rick hovered in front of him.

"Rick?" Wheatly asked, puzzled. "What happened?"

"You got banged up, but it's okay, 'cause Nolan here fixed ya."

Wheatly turned to see an orange eyed core. Tools spun around him. "You took quite a hit," said the core quickly. "But you're one of those new space age cores, so you're easier to salvage. Speaking of space, what's your favorite thing about space? Mine is space."

"I've got to get out of here," Wheatly explained. "Where's the girl?"

"She has her," answered Rick. "Don't worry, though, I've got a plan."

"The last time you said that, the party escorts put you on probation for a week," Wheatly replied, the paused. "What do you need?"

"There's a bird's nest nearby. I'm gonna need that."

"I've got a bad feeling about this," moaned Wheatly.
