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?

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

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

For having been in space this long, you seem pret-ty surprised about that.

But no worries; I have plenty of experience piloting an aircraft. You can count me in.

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

It's really not that hard.
