XR/42
Because I'm in a good mood today
No risk, no fun ;P

“They’re gone…”
The robot looked at the ceiling above.
“I can’t see the stars anymore.”
“Stay put, honey,” a voice said as a horde of female pirates surrounded the ship.
XR slumped back in the seat, and leaned his forehead against his helmet.
“You won’t open the doors, will ya?”
“Just who do you think I am?”
He couldn’t stand the tension.
They were all alone.
They were unarmed.
Technically, they weren’t, but XR wouldn’t shoot around inside of 42 now that she was alive.
And then, there was a loud noise.
“Uh oh,” 42 said.
“What’s the matter?” XR shot up.
“Door’s open,” she explained blankly.
The little robot put himself up, standing on the seat and looking over its backrest where he could see the bridge’s door.
“They’re playing around with my programming somehow…” the ship stated.
Nearing footsteps could be heard.
“You know what?”
42 looked at him in a questioning way, while still trying to hold them off. In vain.
XR slid down the backrest again, not turning around and still facing the seat.
“I’m scared.”
And then, the door slid open.
42 watched as they dragged him away.
Good thing everyone expected a ship to be “dead”. But it was due to this belief as well that made her incapable of doing anything. Well, almost.
“Nothing inside except for that robot!” the Valkyran said in her typical accent.
XR took a look around and tried not to move too much. He didn’t want to make any trouble now that there was no escape possibility. Maybe so they would leave him in one piece. And then when the Valkyran was about to leave 42 the door shut closed. The little robot turned around, staring at the cockpit where he last saw his girlfriend.
Dah, what was he doing? XR started to struggle much to the surprise of the space pirate who dropped him. The robot immediately rolled back a few feet and let his weaponry pop out – for the scare effect.
“Believe me, you don’t want to kidnap a space ranger!” he said, emphasizing the ‘space ranger’.
He then shot off towards the engine room, with the Valkyran following.
“There you are, honey!” a female voice resounded, “are you alright?”
“Still,” he answered sounding kind of exhausted and then hid behind the large control panel.
“Let’s play a little hide and seek with them, shall we?”
“You bet!”
The Valkyran run into the engine room, turning into a sneaky pace when she arrived the large empty hall.
Just a little closer now...
42 looked at the small robot with a smirk.
“You know, I don’t like them. I really have to vent off some anger!”
And steam escaped from ever direction.
A short cry was heard as the pirate was captured in a cloud of hot condensation and started blindly to shot around in anger.
XR dodged her shot which left a crack in the wall.
A crack, on the screen. It was black.
The little robot jumped up hurrying to the monitor.
“42! 42, honey, can you hear me?”
It flickered.
The engine room was offline.
She could barely hear something, neither could she see anything.
XR was worried.
And then, something hit him in the back while he was distracted, immobilizing him.
