[Iron Liz. Fancy dress. Serious business.]

Listen up, guys.

You all heard what Gypsy said; there's a big iceburg out there and we're heading right for it. I dunno how much time we have, but I've got a plan.

I've heard something about trying to tip the satellite over, but that sounds too risky. But Gypsy says there are a dozen or so subpods down in the launch deck, and they're armed. It's not much, but I think if we can focus the fire from all of them on the burg, we can knock it out of our orbit.

So I need eleven other people up there with me. Who here can drive?

Me me me me me me me pick me! I can drive one!

[punsofiron]

I'll need you on your A game, Crow.

[itsjustthebots]

I'll bring my A+ game! I'll bring my extra credit game! Heck, I'll bring my cheated off of Stephen Hawking's thesis paper game!

[optimistickey]

I can fly a ship like that!

[punsofiron]

Great, you're in.

[sailormuffins]

I wanna help! I'm good at lots of stuff!

I bet I'd be good at doing...whatever it is you want me to do!

[punsofiron]

...We'll have you on backup.

[virtualunknown]

That sounds a bit risky as well... There's no good way to deal with this, is there?

[punsofiron]

It's the best shot we have, Mak. I can make this work.

[lastresort]

Depending on what the controls are like I might be able to help.

[punsofiron]

We may not have much time for a cram session, but if you can get a look at it, we need all the help we can get.

[fatedcircle]

I can.

[punsofiron]

Great.

[He's in civvies, but wearing shades - it's obviously still Robin, he's not trying to hide it.]

Do those pods have guidance systems?

[punsofiron]

I don't know if we have time to look.

[verygassy]

[The two most horrific words people probably don't want to hear from Minako right now:]

I volunteer!

[punsofiron]

Thanks Mina. Be careful.

[icanhastail]

I've... not crashed airships before, does that count?

[punsofiron]

That's something, but we need to coordinate this carefully.

[milliondollarpipes]

Wouldja cut that out already?

[Needless to say, Harvey's Cambot took the news of their potential demise well. Harv's taking a swat at it as the feed opens.]

Never flown a spaceship before, kid, but I'm in if you need me.

[punsofiron]

You've lived with us and you don't know? What, did Linkara never teach you how to drive Comicron One?

[eroded_earth]

I'm a pretty good driver. I'm more used to my glider though...but it can't be TOO different, right?

[hahahahahaha, you just keep telling yourself that Terra.]

I'll help in anyway I can. Weapons shouldn't be too difficult to figure out if nothing else.

[punsofiron]

If you think you can do it, I'll need you.

[guardiano_perduto]

You mean an asteroid? 'Cause I'm a pretty sharp shooter, myself.

[punsofiron]

I mean a big hunk of ice floating in our orbit. If you can fly, you're in.
