Spaceberg Ahead!

[itsjustthebots]

Everyone! I was doing routine checks of the ship's functions when I just found out we're all gonna die!

Cambot! Give me Rocket #9!

[Cambot obliges...and indeed, it looks like they are fast approaching a huge chunk of ice just kind of floating in space. Cambot brings it back inside.]

That space iceberg is gonna punch a big hole in the ship if we're not careful!

Uh-huh! I can tell Mike to tell everyone to do that. He's good at commanding people! Sometimes.

[itsjustthebots]

We could try and blow it up with some very weak lasers.

Or tilt over the ship a little bit!

[fatedcircle]

Do we have anything that could be used to alter our course?

[punsofiron]

Perfect. Do they have comms?

[sylvan_child]

[She looks a little startled.]

But what can we do?

[sylvan_child]

There has to be something! Wasn't Mister Forrester trying to say something about it?

[itsjustthebots]

Mmm-hmm! Radios at least.

[punsofiron]

Even better. Don't worry Gypsy, I've got a plan.

[itsjustthebots]

Ummmmmmmm...

There was that ONE thing...oh no, not that...

Or maybe that OTHER thing...um, no, not that either...

So maybe not.

[itsjustthebots]

Yeah! But I think everyone missed it because of what Joel was trying to say.

[itsjustthebots]

Oh good! I like plans. They're so useful!

[crafty_punk]

[...chills a bit. Just a bit.]

Well... Worryin' ain't gonna get anything done. Geez, if Senpai were here, he'd know what to do.

[virtualunknown]

Good luck.

[fatedcircle]

[(...Wonderful)]

I'll see what we can do.

[gettraught]

You've gotta be kidding me.

[Alice is still trying to get around the fact that there is AN ICEBERG IN SPACE and no one seems concerned about this anomaly.

But hey, what does she know? The humans and the ponies want to blow it up, so let them have at it.]

[itsjustthebots]

All right!

[itsjustthebots]

Well, it's a satellite, and it's controlled by those evil cranky scientists. Us being able to steer it would be kinda counter-intuitive to the whole "controlled by those evil scientists" part.

[itsjustthebots]

Oh! Hello there. [Gypsy doesn't recognize this person.]

Do you know how to get rid of space icebergs?

[gettraught]

So is there anything up here we can use to defend ourselves from outside forces and not be sitting ducks?

[itsjustthebots]

Usually we just sort of improvise.

[sylvan_child]

Maybe we could ask him again?

[gettraught]

Great, what kind of stuff do we have to improvise with?

[itsjustthebots]

Oh, you can try and ask him, but he can be awful mean.

[itsjustthebots]

Ohhh, a pulse generator, a whole lot of brownie mix, old copies of National Geographic, some subpods, magnetic shielding, several cans of lead paint, some two by fours, a Mickey Mouse phone, Crow's chicken puppet...you know, lotsa stuff.
