"I think so, Booster," Mira quickly said, using her hands to climb to the very bottom of the chair. With only touch as her guide, she used one hand to hold onto the chair as to not float away and the other to pat under the chair, looking for an emergency flashlight.
She finally felt something that ressembled a plastic cylinder. Mira took it out and drastically searched for a button. When she found it, she heard a strange noice from afar. Mira straightened her arm and turned the light on in a random direction.

The light came on right in XR's face. He screamed, reflexively letting go of the panel he'd been clutching and doing a fear-seizure in midair. "XR! Mira! What's gonig on?" Buzz demanded. XR went still, gulping fearfully for a minute before realizing how stupid he looked. He gave Mira an ingratiating grin and waved at her. "Heeey, you found a light, nice going..." Buzz grunted in disgust, shaking his head. "XR, we need to be ready for action. Not... whatever you're doing." "I don't.... what?" XR asked innocently, rubbing the back of his neck. I'm really not designed for this, he thought sourly, swallowing back another fear-induced noise of some sort.

"Hehe, sorry Buzz," Mira said with an awkward smile. "I just wanted to make sure everybody was in one piece."
"Thanks, XR. You know, sometimes I don't know what you carry around in that body of yours, but maybe you have a flashlight too," Mira said with a raised eyebrow.
"Buzz, I thought I heard something a second ago. Do you think whatever attacked the ship could still be here?" With that in mind, she clenched the back of her chair a bit tighter.

NOS-4-A2 lay reasonably comfortable in the shafts. He could get anywhere he wanted from his current position. But - seeing as he was oh so close to his enemies (a few metres above them, actually) he chose to let his prey come to him...
He closed his crimson eyes and concentrated, letting his mind waves surge through the air until it would reach something sentient. Something particular. He clenched his clawed hands in cruel joy when found the mind he had sought...
"You are mine, XR - this time, you're MINE..." he whispered serpently.

"Thanks, XR. You know, sometimes I don't know what you carry around in that body of yours, but maybe you have a flashlight too," Mira said with a raised eyebrow. XR was about to say something in response, something nasty, but before he could get the words out he suddenly became stiff as a board, staring off into space. Buzz, being oblivious to this development, began to give orders. "Hmm... Mira, you and I will inspect the outside of the ship. Booster, XR, you take the inside-" Hearing a jetpack activate, he then turned to see XR was gone. "XR! This isn't a game! Get out here! Uhhh, XR?" Buzz sighed, snapping his fingers in midair. "Drat! Okay, new objective: find XR." --- XR crawled into the air shafts, face entirely blank. "You called, master?"

"Excellent, little one," his master said.
NOS-4-A2 crawled his way back through the piping with his faithful servant following quietly.
"Awaiting your bidding, Dark Master" his servant spoke flatly. "HUSH! We don't want to call attention upon ourselves just yet... Hmmm," NOS said. "I have an idea - for the sake of your Dark Master's safety you should o back to Lightyear and his stooges to tell them that everything is fine. Do you hear me, you're my inside spy - so do NOT disappoint me..."
He abandoned the dreadful little tincan where he was... he was in a hurry to get out...And the unknown bug had unnerved him further...

As Mira carefully listened to Buzz's orders, XR moved away from the light on her flashlight. She thought nothing of it at first because of the lack-of-gravity issue.. not until she heard a jetpack. Mira moved her flashlight in all directions, but could not find the robot.
"On it, Buzz," Mira said as she pushed herself away from the chair and towards the entrance to the cockpit. She poked her head through to make sure there was no danger, and then carefully made her way into the hall. Suddenly, she heard a noise from afar. Without thinking twice, she let go of any support from the ship and put the flashlight in front of her.
"Who's there??" she exclaimed while floating randomly in the air. "Don't mess with me just because my feet aren't on the ground... I can still take you down!"

quot;I have an idea - for the sake of your Dark Master's safety you should o back to Lightyear and his stooges to tell them that everything is fine. Do you hear me, you're my inside spy - so do NOT disappoint me..." XR nodded, bowing as well as he could inside the air vent. It wasn't very well- he wound up making a horrible clanking noise. "Yes, Master." He abandoned the dreadful little tincan where he was... XR watched NOS leave, eyes glazed over. He felt like he was dreaming, or... something like that. It felt nice. He wasn't scared anymore. He missed Dark Master, though. Where was he going? XR whimpered slightly, like an abandoned puppy, then remembered what Master had told him. Master wanted him to go back to that nasty Buzzjerk and his nasty friends. But XR wanted to be with Dark Master. He was nice. Pouting slightly, XR turned and made his way back towards the bridge. --- Buzz activated his own jetpack and flew up to the ceiling, inspecting it with a frown. He was heading towards the airvent when he was suddenly squashed to the ground by something metallic.

The little mite activated with a start at the sound of a slight hiss. It rotated its casing in a full 360 and clicked its mandibles in a constant pattern. With a whirr, it propulsed itself into the air in a dainty matter and landed on a clawed hand, clicking in happiness.
"You did well, my pet..."
The mite cooed and led the way for its master.

Mira jumped at the sound behind her. She turned around to find Buzz lying on the floor uncomfortably. She shined her flashlight on his face. "Are you okay, Buzz? What happened?" All these strange noises at random times made Mira feel very uneasy inside the ship.

Buzz sat up, gritting his teeth and holding XR up by the armpits like some people hold cats. "Ranger, what do you think you're DOIN'? This is an EMERGENCY and we don't have time-" He stopped, frowning. "XR?" XR was staring at him blankly and Buzz noticed he was completely limp. "XR, what's gotten into you?" he grumbled, shaking him. XR shook his head to clear it, then his expression became normal. "Hey, Buzz, what's up?" "Why were you in the air vent?" Buzz demanded. "Oh, sorry about that, I had stuff to do," XR replied loudly and over-cheerfully.

Mira relaxed her shoulders when she realized the cause for the noise was XR falling from the air vent.
"Stuff to do.. mmhmm... oooookay...." She decided not to question XR's behavior, and went straight to the point. "So now that XR's safe, what do we do, Buzz?"
Mira's long orange hair was now practically all over her face due to the gravity loss. She brushed it away several times after finally making an attempt to tuck it into her suit.

The mite clacked rapidly and pointed to a sealed door. Several voices could be heard from beyond it. A male and female....
"Their voice patterns are not the ones," a voice rumbled.
The figure surveyed its surroundings and looked up to the air ducts. Aha....the figure approached some controls and severed the life support sytem. The hunt was on.

(OOC: Um, hello. I'm supposed to be the new Booster in this roleplay and I did read a bit back to see where this RPG is going so far. So correct me if I'm wrong but the team is investigating a ship with the lights out and XR acting strange due to NOS-4-A2. Am I right so far?
Also I might need a point to resume RP as Booster. Maybe someone addressing him with an order or comment?)

((You're right so far.)) XR turned his face away at Mira's comment. SAFE. Oh, he was SAFE, alright. Unable to stop himself, he started to snicker maniacally, which was a very disturbing sound coming from a three-foot robot. ((NOS-controlled!XR is WEIRD. XD))
