Shazay watched with consternation as George Melons's ship sank below the treeline. [i]Fucking hell,[/i] he thought, [i]another one?! At this rate, I'm gonna be with nothing but crazies. This asshole better be willing to join Shocker+, at least![/i]

"Well," Shazay said, trying to mask his exasperation, "we'd best get to him soon, else he's gonna be manjerky in a couple'a minutes! C'mon, I think I know where he's landed!"

Shazay ran forward, in the direction of the crash site. With any luck, there'd be a good spot for the portals there as well.

Just up ahead was the smoldering wreckage of George's stolen T-Wing. Moving carefully to avoid any molten wreckage, Shazay advanced on the T-Wing's cockpit. He called out, trying to rouse whoever was inside of the ship.
"Heyo! You alive in there, or we gonna call the meat wagon?"
