If Jimmy holds the awards of the most craziest trophies, then I hold the most MOST craziest trophies of all time.

The ringing sound and red flickering didn't stop and didn't help the situation. I ran through the corridor, toward the main control room where Jimmy threatened me.

Cutting the ship in half is no joke. I spent my entire month being all low-key while I stole materials for this plan to work.

Originally, If I managed to poison Jimmy (which failed horribly) - I would drag his body to the other part of the ship and begin the slicing. Of course, I don't want the crew knowing that I killed someone because they might freak out.

But one reason is to also make the spaceship less heavy for the jet rocket to work effectively.

Even though those failures, it went pretty well even if I compromised in the end... But please, I hope this works and does not end up with me exploding the whole spaceship.

The door automatically opened revealing a variety of abominations: Computer screens opened, wires connected from here and there, and random phones revealing gooMaps map... for something very reasonable of course.

One large computer states:
Spaceship, ready for take off...

"The fire won't spread towards the living room just yet. I need to detach the ship" I mutter while clicking the keyboard spontaneously.

I went through all the trouble going through the vents and below it just to fix the things deep down (and probably the main reason why the spaceship won't work), and it was nasty work.

But that should do the trick.

With one click, the beeping sound and the flickering light suddenly stop.

Nothing happened for a moment, and then-

The metal floor shakes like a natural earthquake. I held my hands on the metal chair, carefully fixing my balance. The loud beeping sound and flickering red continue to boom.

"Is this how the process works? Right?!" I can't believe I'm doubting myself right now.

Metal parts start to fall. I easily dodged them away, though I almost got hit by one in the head.

The large screen in front shows a pixelated image of the spaceship cutting in half. I installed it here weeks ago for easy visualisation.

Its image shows the spaceship slowly splitting in half as well as the engine below starting to flare which is a good thing. The bad thing is that the shaking becoming stronger as well.

The computer states:
1 minute before Dividing and Lunching back to Earth...

"I need to go check the others"

I swiftly ran towards the living room. Everything was falling apart, but if ever god existed, I hope they heard my plea to make the splitting process less aggressive.

[Captain Curly POV]

I don't know what's happening but I'm pretty sure this current situation is not a good thing.

I was awoken when Swansea helped me in a wheelchair while he led me into the living room. The spaceship was booming with a beeping sound and flickering red light.

I saw Anya strapping Daisuke on the couch. She doesn't seem troubled, she seems more self-assured than when I last saw her. Good for her.
