(The Ninja are inside the spaceship, Arcturus, currently flying through space)

Jay: Is this the greatest thing ever or what?

Kai: Where are you? We're trapped in space and you... (realizes Jay floated away) where did you go?

Destiny: Space is so... unrealistic. It's physically impossible to concentrate. I need to settle the score with Emanon, and this isn't helping. 

Kai: See? Someone gets it.

Jay: Quit moping you two. We're in space. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!

Cole: And you're the only one who's treating it like one.

Jay: (ignores Cole) I thought this is stuff only Fritz Donnegan gets to enjoy.

Lloyd: Fritz is from a comic book, dude. This is real!

Jay: Well, you got me hooked on the character. Would you lighten up and not step on your dreams of being a real Starfarer just yet?

Destiny: I know I said I'd follow 'till the end of the line, but this is just ridiculous.

Lloyd: No time for that. We have to find a way to take control of the ship. If they get the Golden Weapons back to Overlord, Ninjago doesn't stand much of a chance. (Kai accidentally bumps into him) Whoa!

Kai: Oops.

Cole: More like, we don't stand any chance.

Destiny: That's one way to put it. And the right one.

Zane: In the negative sense.

(Meanwhile, we see the Nindroids piloting the rocket)

Cryptor: Delta V guidance. Data point zero thirty. Initiate auto sequencing.

(Mini-Droid sets the time for five minutes)

Zane: Enjoy it while you can, Jay, because in five minutes, the entire ship is scheduled to lighten up. (he points to a screen that is counting down from 5 minutes) The supplemental boosters are set to detach.

Kai: Uh, I'm a ninja, not an astronaut. What does that mean?

Zane: The portion of the ship we are currently stationed will soon detach and we will be abandoned in space with it.

Cole and Jay: What!?

Lloyd: No need to panic, we just- (Kai bumps into him) again, Kai? Now is not the time.

Kai: Sorry, I can't help it! (sighs) Destiny, what do you- (he watches Destiny float around with her eyes locked on the screen) oh.

Jay: What do you think? Vision?

Cole: What else, Jay?

Jay: Ugh! Can't a man ask a question without being questioned for once?

Kai: She hasn't been having one of those for a while... (he hears Cole and Jay continue to argue) because of you two. 

Zane: We should act quickly. We only have-
