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!

Dammit I hate being right.

Any chance we can get out of its way? Or get it out of our orbit?

[itsjustthebots]

Being right most of the time is okay but sometimes it's not.

Well, I can't exactly steer this thing. Maybe Mike can fix it! He's got arms and everything!

What if we all took jetpacks out and pushed it out of the way? Or melted it?

[itsjustthebots]

Um. It'll probably take a long long long long time to melt.

But maybe we can move it!

[fatedcircle]

There isn't anyway to get out of the way?

[virtualunknown]

Then let's be caeful.

[itsjustthebots]

It's very hard to be careful when you're dealing with 158 tons of steel and various alloys versus half a mile of solid ice!

[itsjustthebots]

It's very difficult to move something this big real fast!

[punsofiron]

Got any sort of weapons on this dogbone? Maybe we could try to knock it out of our way.

[Scared bitty is scared]

...what do we do?

[itsjustthebots]

[Gypsy will not help!]

Panic?

[itsjustthebots]

There's some weak lasers on the subpods...

[sylvan_child]

...

[fatedcircle]

We don't need to move fast. We just need to not hit it.

[punsofiron]

How many pods are there?

[virtualunknown]

...

What if we shifted as much weight as we can to one side? Would that help turn it?

[crafty_punk]

HEY! Don't listen to that crap! We're all gonna be fine, y'hear me?

[gettraught]

[...Yeah, he can put two and two together. This scenario is not one he wants to contemplate, so it's time to do something about it.]

Where's the bridge on this ship? We can steer around it.

[itsjustthebots]

About a dozen, I think?

[itsjustthebots]

That's also difficult to do when it's difficult to steer!

[itsjustthebots]

Hmm...maybe, if we all stood at the front of the ship, that'd tip the Satellite down and we could go under it instead!

[itsjustthebots]

Yeah, kinda like that!

[itsjustthebots]

The bridge is right in front of the hall to the theater. But there's nothing to steer it with there.

[virtualunknown]

It's worth a try. Admittedly, the odds are... well, slim. But it's certainly better than doing nothing.

[fatedcircle]

There has to be something.
