With engines red hot and loosing fuel fast: Loretta tried her very best to steer the Star Cruiser into doing a controlled crash landing. Just mere minutes ago, the crew were within levels of excitement of returning home after a four month long mission. Then an unidentified fighter ship fired upon them and without a single trace of help from it, left.
Loretta looked at her copilot, Mirandos. During the four month mission, Loretta and Merandos have been closer now than when their captain was seven. She wouldn't admit it, especially to Merandos, that during those four months of being with one another, Loretta felt a pang of sympathy every time she looked at Merandos.
Merandos looked back at Loretta before turning her attention back on the task at hand. "Loretta, focus on the task at hand." Loretta snapped out of her trance and turned her attention back on the task. Sometimes she wishes she was the captain. But the Admirals reminded her that her brother, Miles Callisto, had defeated every obstacle with her as well as their friends' help. This in turn, made him the perfect candidate for a Captain position.
The ship had now entered the stratosphere of the planet and was burning up. This told Loretta that there was a significant supply of oxygen in the planet's atmosphere. "Miles, can I just ask a really quick question?" The captain: who was four years younger than Loretta, turned towards Haruna; his best friend from Earth. He was strapped in his chair right next to Blodger, whose job was to fix and upgrade the Star Cruiser.
Loretta could never really understand that in a million years, Blodger had become the youngest engineer in the Cosmos. Miles chose him, not only for him being an engineer since their father, Leo Callisto was declared KIA: but because they were family. As a matter of fact, they all were family.
Miles looked at Haruna with profound determination into getting back towards the task at hand. "What is it Haruna?" Just when the boy in question opened his mouth to speak, they crashed and everything went dark. Merandos was the first one to regain her consciousness after the crash. The first thing she noticed was that the entire Space Cruiser was upside down.
She looked around the cockpit and noticed the others were still unconscious. Then, she saw Loretta stir, then moan as she put her hand on her head. Loretta clearly wasn't cut out of a controlled crash landing, Merandos could tell.
She noticed that Loretta was going for her seat buckle. Merandos quickly, but gently put her hand on her shoulder to stop her from hurting herself. Loretta looked at Merandos expectedly before nodding in understanding when Merandos had nodded at the blown out view screen. She tapped her Bracelex and groaned when static came up instead. "Communications are damaged, which means I can't get a signal out. What about you?" Merandos chuckled before wincing at the pain as to which was throbbing in her head.
Loretta took notice right away and started tapping her Bracelex again. "Hope the First Aid Bot still works." In the Cargo bay, a First Aid Bot awoke. It had a very deep crack in its visor that was extremely noticeable. It had received a set of instructions from Loretta to mend Merandos for a potential mild concussion. It recognized its purpose for a potential mild concussion, and raced towards it patient, while still minding the debris itself.
Finally, it had reached its destination and wasted no time taking care of Merandos. While the First Aid Bot was taking care of Merandos, Loretta looked at Blodger and almost laughed when she saw him almost oozing right out of his chair. Then she had remembered the Robo-Animals. Praying to the Cosmos that the Robo-Animals were okay, she tapped in a few commands to the Mechanical Repair Bot from her Bracelex, and prayed that they were okay.
Back in the Cargo bay, the Mechanical Repair Bot was fully operational but was also badly damaged. It had crimson red and icy blue metalized body, with the TTA logo on its chest in blue holographic form. On its left forearm was another logo. This one had golden stars lined up in a circle with an eagle in the middle. The eagle had an arrow in its beak, and in its talons it had an olive branch in one and an ostrich singing bird feather in the other. The logo had been Miles' idea and everyone loved it, including Loretta.
