He looked up at her, blinking. "Wrong with the- OH! Wrong with the SHIP! um-" He stared at the co-pilot's control panel, fingers hovering hesitantly above the many buttons and switches. He bit his lip. Uhhhh... here, he thought, withdrawing a cord from his inner compartments and plunging it into a port on the panel. He stared off into space for a minute, setting up a link with the ship. Hello? 42? Can you hear- Suddenly, a sound like microphone feedback exploded inside his head, causing him to cry out in pain, then abruptly lose consciousness... ((ONOEZ!11!!11! DRAMA!1@122! lulz))

Mira jumped. She turned and gasped; XR was slumped down in his seat, completely motionless.
“XR!” she shouted. “XR, what-”
The ship gave another awful lurch. Mira looked out the window and gasped again. The ship was caught in Sentilla 6’s gravitational field, on a direct crash course with the planet surface. Mira dove at the controls, desperately trying to get the ship UP…
“Come on, 42, work with me!”
The surface was coming up fast, there was no way they were going to make it… Abandoning the controls, she scooped up XR and dashed for the emergency shuttle. She strapped XR into the co-pilot’s seat and took the controls. They had to get out NOW… Mira pounded the launch button. The shuttle roared to life; she took off, steering up and away from the ship. A massive explosion shook the whole shuttle. Mira turned it around, surveying the flaming wreckage below them. Great, she groaned, let’s see how many missions Buzz puts me in charge of after THIS… Mira shook her head. They had bigger things to worry about. She had to find a sheltered place where she could figure out what was wrong with XR. She glanced worriedly at him. He hadn’t moved, hadn’t made a sound, not even so much as an agitated whine… What could have knocked him out like that? She scanned the planet surface, finally spotting a giant rock formation that formed a shallow cave. She flew the shuttle just inside, bringing it down slowly for the gentlest landing she could manage. One damaged ship was enough. As the shuttle hummed into silence, Mira unbuckled herself and stepped over to XR. She frowned. Still nothing. She unstrapped him and opened up his service panel, leaning over him for a better look. Now… what was she looking for?
((Wow... like my short story? This is epic compared to my last post... XD))

XR opened his eyes to see a rock ceiling where 42's control panel had been a split second earlier. Uncomprehending, he started to get up, then realized Mira had opened his chest panel. "HEY!" he snapped, slamming it shut on her fingers. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOIN'?"

“OW!”
Mira winced as XR’s service panel came down hard on her fingers. Geez, what was that for? Glaring at him, she lifted up the panel just enough to remove her hand, then slammed it back down as forcefully as she could.
“Doing? What was I doing? Checking you for damage, that’s what! You blacked out, what was I supposed to do?!”

He blinked, staring around at the... room? Cave?! "Whaddaya mean I blacked out? I don't remember..." He stopped, suddenly remembering the wonky ship and the feedback noise and the... nothing after. "Oh yeah, that..."

Mira let out a frustrated sigh, massaging her stinging fingers.
“What happened? Did you find out anything?”

He shook his head. "Not really..."

She sighed again, standing up and staring around at nothing in particular. She put her hands authoritatively on her hips.
"Well, we'll have to deal with the ship later... Do you think you can still trace that signal we've been getting?"
((Ha-HA, finally thought of something... Tag, you're it... X3))

She glared at him. "What do you mean, 'NO'?"
