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?

We usually don't get space iceburgs orbiting earth where I come from.

[guardiano_perduto]

It's really not that hard.

[milliondollarpipes]

What would I need to do that for?

...wait, he taught you to drive it?

[virtualunknown]

I'm not sure what I could do. I've never driven anything before.

[fatedcircle]

Right.

[punsofiron]

And you're surprised?

[gettraught]

Roger. [And off he goooees~]

[icanhastail]

Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you.

[punsofiron]

Well you're good with computers and stuff right? Maybe we can find a GPS you can work with or something.

[She will boost your confidence and make you useful, young man!]

[punsofiron]

Duly noted.

[virtualunknown]

[What is this confidence you speak of?]

There isn't anything I can do from the ship itself? I'd... really prefer not to pilot one.

[punsofiron]

I'm sure we'll need some ground control or something, if I'm gonna be up there with them.

[BE CONFIDENT BOY SHE KNOWS YOU'RE GOOD AT SOMETHING]

[virtualunknown]

That I could manage.

[punsofiron]

See you at the briefing then.

[virtualunknown]

[Sigh.] Right, then...
