Mira could do nothing but float there as XR let out the strangest laugh she had ever heard. "Ummm... uh..." she said anxiously, feeling the awkward moment. She scratched the top of her head and continued to brush the hair out of her face. "Are you... okay XR? Maybe you fell out of that vent a little too hard..."
((Booster is still in the cockpit or whatever, so he is free to pop his head in I guess, heh))

"Oh, no, I'm fine," XR replied normally.

((OK, I'll see how I can squeeze in.))
Booster was slightly paralized in the cockpit in the total darkness. He fiddled his fingers as he tried to adjust his eyesight to the darkness despite being scared of being in such a pitch-black area. No, he can't stay frozen stiff in his spot, what would Buzz say. He mustered up his courage and felt his way out of the cockpit to follow his fellow team mates, he couldn't believe XR would dissapear like that. Sometimes that robot can be handful.
Upon hearing a slight commotion outside of the cockpit Booster made his way to the door, walking through it and seeing his team. "Did you find him?" He inquires, although he is answered just by the plain slight of XR with them. But as XR laughed a rather unnatural laugh, Booster felt his heart take a dive as his ears drooped and pressed hard against his head, terrified by the sudden evilness in the laughter.

The mite spun around and pointed to another air lock, clacking furiously. Evil robotic laughter could be heard beyond its metal surface.
"Yes. Voice pattern identified. Target Status: Bait." The voice rumbled.
The figure hunkered down into a corner and remained still, waiting for the moment of attack.

"Well, um... okaay..." Mira said carefully. She took a quick look at the vent opening from where the robot dropped. Hm, if I were crammed in those vents, I think I'd go a little wacko too, she thought to herself while trying to push her body to the ground.
"So, how about we get this gravity problem fixed? My feet sure miss the floor. Not to mention the fact that the cargo is gone, the ship's system went awal, and the fact that I can't see anything five feet in front of me!"

XR stared at her for a minute, completely dazed, before his master's instructions kicked in again and he said in a huffy tone- "...Yeah!" And then he went blank again.

As Booster felt his way through the door and closer to his team he heard Mira's comment. And he couldn't agree more.
Booster nods in agreement. "If we can make it to the ship's engine room and get it fixed up then the ship's light and gravity system should go back online!" But then the Jo-Ad couldn't help but feel something is off. It then came to him. Oh yeah, XR.
"But um," He continues as he turns his head to XR. "What are we gonna do with XR? He's not acting like himself at the moment."

"Great!" Mira exclaimed as she began to float towards the crew. "I'll head down there. I might need extra help though.. it's difficult to move around at the moment."
"Oooooh, he'll be fine now that he's out of that vent," she smiled, patting XR hard on the back.

XR lurched forward from the pressure of his back, eyes widening in surprise. "I'm normal," he said.

Despite Mira telling him that XR is gonna be all right, Booster couldn't help but worry about his robotic friend. "Well...All right, if you say so..."

At any normal situation, Mira may have taken XR's behavior to consideration. But now was not the time. The team was dealing with a difficult problem, and she knew that there were tasks that needed to be completed now for the sake of the mission.
"Alright, I'm heading to the engine room now. I'll contact you guys on the condition over there, and if I need any extra help."
With that, she made a swimming motion downwards and ghosted through the floor.

Booster nods as Mira departs for the engine room. Suddenly his fear of the darkness kicks in as he hears some kind of noise deep in the hall in the total darkness.
Nervous, he turns to XR and Buzz. "Um Buzz? Maybe we should um, I don't know, maybe go back into the cockpit and wait for Mira to get the engines to work?"

Buzz made a fist and a serious face. "No dice, Booster. A ranger never leaves a man behind." Man behind, XR thought dizzily. He was floating upside down. Buzz gave him a strange look, then said- "Isn't that right, XR?" "Sure"

(OOC: I know I should probably wait until nosgirl posts since we need more villain posts, but.. I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER! *closes mouth with her hands*)
Mira successfully ghosted through the floor and into the engine room. "Man, this place seems to get bigger everytime I come here," she said quietly as her body slowly floated towards the main screens of the engine room. She grabbed the edge of the desk to hold her down.
"Hmmm, there doesn't seem to be any damage here... somebody must have tampered with the ship elsewhere," Mira pondered as she prepared to run a thorough systems analysis on the ship. In only a few seconds, small sparks began to shoot out of the computer and the screens drew nothing but static. Strange... she said to herself. Something definitely blocked the system from checking the entire ship... she had to find out where the problem was.. and fast.
Mira typed as fast as she could, and finally, one of the screens barely showed a skeleton-map of the entire ship. The quality was not clear, and the screen would constantly flicker the image, but from the looks of it, there was something up in one of the ships vents. Before she could get a clear image of it, the image disappeared, leaving a couple of sparks jumping out of the screen.
"Craters," Mira muttered as she opened her wrist commmunicator. "Mira to Buzz. Strangely enough, the engine's computer hasn't been touched. But the weird part is it won't run a complete system check, and the only the screen would give me is a rough idea of where the problem first started. Now, I'm.. I'm not really sure about this because the quality was reaaally bad, but I think there's something going on in the vents."
Saying all of this outloud brought the ranger into even more confusion. Didn't XR just come out of the vent a while ago? Surely he would have spotted something...
She waited for Buzz to answer.
