Maybe he was being over-catious, or maybe he was just peraniod, but thing had happened yet and Warp was beginning to wonder if anything would.
Better do a perimeter check, just in case. He blasted off and climbed until he was a hundred feet above the bridge. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary as he perform lazy figure eight patterns over Mira and XR for a minute.
Crumford looks like he's actually thinking. Warp thought, laughing to himself as he ended his perimeter check, and descended, ending up right behind Crumford.
As always, XR's abiliy to ask a question at the most improper time, left Warp looking for words...of gentle critizim.

"Yeah," Mira nodded. "I think that's what they said the color color was. Crumford, if you have any leads, tell us now."
"Ok...ok. Just don't throw any lasers my way and we're all good." He said, backing away with his hands up." Just give me a minutes, I think I got what you need."
He took off at a sprint, thinking he made a home-free before running into into Warp Darkmatter.

"What's your hurry, Crumford?" He asked as he picked up the mole by his shirt collar. His tone had been friendly, his facial expression said otherwise. "I thought you wanted to help us out."

"Darkmatter!" Crumford shrieked, looking down at the fist that held to his collar. He gulped.
"I....I was g-gonna help ya. I...I swear it! It's just the cubes! The cubes yer looking for, they in a dumpster, see? I need to go get them before....before trash day!"
*** "How do you think the other fared out?" Cora asked Buzz and Booster as they flew toward the meeting area.

"I'm so glad you remember me, Crumford. I know it's been a while since we had the chance to talk." Warp's mouth twisted into an unpleasant grin.
"I have no doubt that you were going to help us. You always were the helpful sort. But we'll let Buzz decide if we're going to this...dumpster, since trash day isn't until the end of the week." He bent over and placed Crumford back on the bridge's surface but didn't release his shirt just yet. "Can you walk with us, or does one of us have to carry you?"

"I can walk! I can walk!" Crumford yelled, swinging from side to side in Warp's grip. "Now listen Darkmatter, I really do have those cubes!"

"Good." He released Crumford with a satisfied grin. "I know you have the cubes. If you didn't you wouldn't have been intimidated."

Buzz shrugged. “They could’ve gotten a lead like ours, or they just as easily might not have. I have no idea.”
His communicator beeped, and he opened it. “Lightyear here.”
“Buzz, it’s Erin.”
“Oh. It’s about time you showed up.”[/i]
“Yeah, I’m really sorry about that. Look, we landed by 42, and –”
“Actually, Erin, we lucked out this time – Booster, Cora, and I got a lead on our first try.”
“Already? Wow!”
“Yeah. We’re going to regroup with the rest of the team, then take off. I’ll let you know when we’re ready.”
“Cra – I mean, roger that. Frame out.”
Buzz closed his communicator and spotted the other half of the team below. Huh, looked like Warp was grilling Crumford.
“Reeeally?” Buzz asked as he and Booster landed. “Well, that’s very interesting, Crumford, since I have it from another source that someone else may very well have them.”
“Already?” XR asked, surprised. “Golly, that was fa – hey!” He turned to Crumford, glaring. “Sooo, you were just trying to escape the long arm of the law, were ya?” He planted his fists at his sides, his left tread tapping.
((PFFT! BUSTED!! LOL))

"Oh no! Now Lightyear too! Listen, fella's! I have cubes! I have tons and tons of cubes! Little ones, bit ones. Anyones ya want or need! Just don't throw me in the slammer!"
Cora pinched the bridge of her nose, sighing. Crumford. Oh yes, he still bothered Team Lightyear in the future, and on one case Cora met him herself. It was no surprise to find him just as annoying now as he was in the future.
"Let the pipsqueak go. He obviously doesn't know what we're talking about."
"Yeah! Yeah! Was the kid said!"

((Sorry I didn't repy earlier. I'm running on 2 hours of sleep and I didn't want to mess anything up so...yeah.))
Greeat. This just got more complicated than it needs to be. Warp frowned, as he tried to put some the circumstancial factors in order.
Way to miss the obvious, XR. He smirked as he stored several comments about udated technology in the back of his mind for later use.

((Aww, honey! *hugs*)) “Yeah, yeah,” Buzz sighed. “Goodbye, goodbye, Crumford.” He waved a dismissive hand at the info-broker, then turned to the team. “Looks like Cora’s guess might be right. Let’s go. We’ll confer with the Commander from 42.”

"Thank you!" Crumford squealed in happiness of being sent free. Wiggling out of Warp's grip, he ran for the hills.
"Waste of time that was," Mira sighed, blowing a piece of hair out of her face. "How did you guys do? Any luck?"

“Yeah,” Buzz replied, rubbing the back of his neck. “Let’s just get back to the ship, okay?”
((For convenience’s sake, about half an hour later…))
Booster finished setting up the three way teleconference between 42, 95, and Star Command central. He gave Buzz the thumbs-up, and Buzz switched it on. “42 to Star Command and 95, over.”
“95 here, over,” Erin replied as her face appeared on the screen.
“Star Command, over,” Commander Nebula replied as the screen split in half.
Buzz sank into his chair. “Sir, we got a lead from the Fixer on Tradeworld. He was deliberately vague in his wording, but he basically told us that the Evil Emperor has been asking around the planet for those cubes.”
On the screen, Erin raked her hair away from her face and exhaled.
The Commander just shook his head. “Anything more definite than that?”
“No, sir, but I think it’s safe to assume that Zurg has those cubes.”
“Look, son, you just got over the pounding from just a few nights ago! I’m not about to letcha go get another helping of that!”
“Sir, with all due respect, we have seven Rangers now, not three,” Buzz protested.

Yeah, and six of us haven't had the chance to give a Zurg a piece of our minds yet! The words were on the very edge of his tongue, and he wanted to say them badly. He folded his arms and slid back behind Booster, it was all he could do to keep himself in check.

(sorry for not posting for a few days. Been stressed out over essay's for school. Sr. year sucks)
Seven? Cora counted off in her head of the rangers she's either met or heard about, and including Erin and her partner, that was...
Wait a second! He didn't include her in this mix! What the heck?
"Excuse me for a moment. What about me? Shouldn't I be includid in this? Their my cubes!"
"Cora, you're too young." Mira said. "You honestly don't think we're going to allow a sixteen year old to help fight Zurg, are you?"
"I don't think age matters here! What matters is that we get those cubes back. And if we fail at this, then I'm the only one that can self destruct said cubes! And that means being in range of at least a yard!" She glared over at Buzz.
