Nopeify: So we got possessed by masks and the team dubbed " Fuck Up " saved us?

[ Justin nods cooking something on the stove as Nopeify has a cup of tea in front of him. ]

Nopeify: And one of their crew members got possessed too?

Justin: Yeah, Aztro was her name.

Nopeify: How long were we out for..?

Justin: According to Rift a few months. I don't know about you-

[ He sets a plate of scrambled eggs infront of his friend and then sits down across from him. ]

Justin: But I'm quitting after we get back.

Nopeify: Quitting?

Justin: Yeah I'm done with this shit job, we went " missing " for months, they knew where we were and just left us! We were saved by complete luck.

Nopeify: To be fair there isn't much on the mimics so-

Justin: Because they didn't even bother to study them more! If they did we would've been saved the day we got taken over.

Nopeify: . . . Where will you go then? What will you do?

Justin: I have a few friends that own a ship, I'll crash there until I find a new job that isn't gonna get me killed so easily.

Nopeify: . . . Why did these people save us again?

Justin: Because their friend needs to be saved too.

Nopeify: What if their friend didn't need to be saved?

Justin: Well knowing what I know, that Mika guy would've tried something for us, since they would have noticed us as missing persons.

Nopeify: And this team " Fuck Up " really saved us?

Justin: Yeah I don't know much about them, well we know what Pandah did but-

Nopeify: Wait Pandah?! They guy who our old captain hates for killing another crew member?!

Justin: Yep.

Nopeify: So they all have done something like bad to be a party for the company?

Justin: Hence the team name " Fuck Up " yes.

Nopeify: . . . I think I'm gonna quit too then..

[ Pandah looks up at his friend half terrified for his life, the other half focused on her partly charred wings in the light.

She begins to choke him and he tries to fight back, failing he gets light headed, but is able to catch his breath as Schlatt tackles her down.

Mika slides down to Pandah checking on him. ]

Mika: Deep breaths-

Pandah: She's a bug?!

[ Mika looks at his friend, who is upset and scared. ]

Pandah: Why didn't she tell me?! Why did she tell you two?!

Mika: Pandah calm down-

Pandah: She- she doesn't trust me? Is that it..?

Mika: No Pandah she was afraid that you would freak out- she didn't want you to be afraid of her..

Pandah: Why would I be afraid of her?! I love her just as much as I love my own god damn mother!

Mika: You- your fear of bugs and then the time you ran from her when she did show her true form.. she didn't want you to think she was a monster.

Pandah: . . .

[ The two hear banging, they look up and see that Aztro has pinned Schlatt against the wall, repeatingly crashing the side of his head into the wall. ]

Mika: Schlatt!-

[ Mika pulls Aztro's hair getting her off of him, Pandah looks as Schlatt slides against the wall, blood following, part of the end of his left horn gone, the rest cracked.

He quickly goes to him seeing his half shut eyes. He gets him to go on his back as he looks at the wounds.

Parts of his horn lay beside him covered in his blood. Pandah quickly tears part of his own sleeve wrapping it around Schlatt's head.

Schlatt looks up at his friend, raising his hand to feel the damaged horn. ]

Pandah: Schlatt? Can you hear me?

[ Schlatt nods looking down at the horn pieces beside him. ]

Pandah: Tell me where we are-

Schlatt: Sand planet- I don't need the whole check up deal-

[ He goes to stand up but stumbles, Pandah catches him then sees Mika getting pinned by Aztro.

Mika looks up at his friend as she begins to try to punch him, he grabs both of her fists. ]

Mika: God dammit Astrid you aren't usually this strong..!

[ She suddenly takes her hands back, silk forming between her finger tips as she quickly ties his wrists above his head then to the floor.

She begins to beat him up, one blow goes straight in the middle of his black bar, breaking it in half. One half stays on his face, the other falls to the side revealing his left eye.

Suddenly, there's a gun shot. Aztro hisses in pain, her wings have been wounded straight through with a bullet hole.

She turns and sees Pandah holding the gun, she gets off of Mika crashing into Pandah.

The two roll trying to gain control, she wins.  As she goes to take the gun out of his hand but he tosses it away from them. ]

Pandah: Not that easy of a win against me, Azzy.

[ Schlatt goes to Mika cutting the silk with the broken off bar piece. ]

Schlatt: Shit she got you good-

[ Mika looks at his damaged horn. ]

Mika: Schlatt your-

Schlatt: Don't even right now, does that bar thing still work?

Mika: I don't know-

[ Back to Pandah and Aztro.

Pandah wraps his legs around her waist taking her hands with his, spinning them around making her on the ground. ]

Pandah: I can't believe you would think I would be afraid of you..

[ She just hisses in aggravation as he pushes her hands next to her head.

Silk forms from her fingers binding their hands together onto the floor. ]

Pandah: Hell I just shot your wings that doesn't help my case at all.. Aztro I could never hate you or be afraid of you.

[ She kicks her legs in strain, Pandah takes a deep breath before crashing his forehead against hers, passing out before he could see if it worked. ]

[ Dawn. ]

[ Nopeify and Justin watch as the sun slowly rises. ]

Nopeify: Do you think they're okay?

Justin: Yeah, they were able to get us so..

[ The two sit in the silence of concern. ]

Nopeify: We have to leave by noon.

Justin: . . . Okay.

[ Suddenly they hear the radio go off. Justin fumbles grabbing it off of the table. ]

Justin: Repeat that?!
