[Oh hey, there's Minako! And she's dressed in a Servierre's waitress skirt. And she looks....serious. Seemingly uncharacteristically so.

Actually, there's also a huge pile of money behind her in her bedroom.]

Ugh! I work overtime at the restaurant for a month and earn all this money to bribe the Mads...and they send a missile at us. Well, then I'll just keep the money for myself! Jerks.

But enough small talk! We need to alter the course of the Satellite to avoid the missile, and also make sure Joel doesn't get killed! I'm not gonna die and I'm not gonna let any of your guys die either!

[She folds her arms.]

Gypsy, send me all the current power output schematics you have on the SoL's engines and adjustment thrusters, how fast they can be fired up, and how fast this bucket goes when at full thrusters, ASAP! Everyone else, we might need all the energy we can get, so turn off all non-essential energy sources and hurry!!

As for me...I'm getting out of these clothes. I've worn them for...uh...

[The serious facade cracks for a moment, to reveal perplexion.]

...What day is it? I kind of lost track of time on the Servo deck.....

I've put the schematics up on your Cambot, but we don't have enough power for evasive maneuvers even at full power! I need to check the engines again!

And it's Monday!

[verygassy]

[Monday is the least of their worries, Gypsy. Anyhow, the schematics are up on the screen, though only Minako can actually see them. So cue Minako's fuzzy fingers bouncing around all over the screen.]

Ok! What if we pulled power from all non-essential systems - basically everything but air - and pooled it into the main engine? Would that help lessen the deficit in any way?

[itsjustthebots]

Even if we pulled all of that, we'd still only be at 75% power needed for evasives! This thing corners like a river barge, you know!

How do you know all this stuff anyway?

Hey baby, I missed you!
