"Blast it, guys! I'm comin' in!" Worried that his teammates weren't responding, Yelgir pulled his ship back around to the hole he'd knocked in the aft cargo bay. He positioned it carefully, set an automated course back to their command ship, and then ejected straight into the now empty bay. As the rest of the battle passed out of sight, he hoped that [i]Thor[/i] would make it safely. Yelgir didn't think he would ever find something like it again.

The small android drifted softly to the back wall of the cargo hold, and the electro-magnetic grips fastened him to the semi-steel plating. He slowly made his way into the airlock, and re-pressurized the space. After the air finished hissing back into the lock, he opened the faceplate of his helmet, and put his ear to the hatch.

He accessed the camera feed, and located his position, Sliding his "view" over to the room next to him, it appeared a fight had recently ended. Several cameras were damaged, giving him only a small view of the other bay. The room was filled with a dark fog that obstructed the camera's optical feed, so Yelgir pulled a few mental strings, and adapted to a semi-infared sensor. The room lit up with heat sources, many of them lizard shape and quickly dimming. The only alive ones seemed to be Jason, who's signature Yelgir would recognize from a mile away, and two unidentified females. One of whom was holding a gun...
