Do to a horrible misunderstanding, I had to rewrite this post, mostly the part consearning Rodia.

"How odd that my sensors would randomly improve while you used them" Ernest said, knowing full well that it was Fanny May's doing, but pretending not to in an attempt to avoid unnecessary argument.

"We might as well get going" Continued Ernest. "I'll start up the main engine... Oh, I found some beer, too, surprisingly enough. Copious amounts, in fact. Not sure how good it will be, though."

While Ernest is talking and getting the ship's hyperdrive engine (or whatever makes it go so dang fast) Some repair pods make it to the storage bay to repair the sensors.

The Terminal reads:

50 INSTANCES OF "BEER" FOUND IN FOOD STORAGE. ASSIGNING REPAIR POD TO DELIVER 1 INSTANCE OF BEER TO USER "FANNY MAY".
INITIATING MAIN ENGINE. TARGET: NEAR INSTANCE "HANY'S RIBBON"

REPAIR PODS HAVE STARTED DIOGNOSTISTICS ON STORAGE BAY SENSORS.... 50% DONE.
[/quote]

As that is going on a repair pod walks through one of the doors. It is small, spherical robot about the size of a basketball, with a few robotic arms and sensors protruding out of it. It is somewhat awkwardly holding a can of beer in one of its arms, and makes its way over to Fanny May.

[b]As Ramrod and Rodia[/b]
Lars has found himself unable to contact the Quatis. He goes to Ramrod's office to make his report.

Ramrod is working on some boring paperwork when Lars comes in. He says "Mr Ramrod! I'm sorry, I'm unable to make contact with the Quatis!"

Ramrod looks concerned. "Mraoh mraoh?" (You have any idea why?)

Lars responds "I'm not sure, but I think it has something to do with Quote had an awful misunderstanding with Hokum-"

"MRAOH!" (Stop!) Ramrod interrupts, "Mraoh Mraoh MRAOH, mraoh!" (We're supposed to be acting IN-CHARACTER, Lars!)

"Oh... right. Sorry, Ramrod"

Suddenly, Rorod Bursts in. (R-Core are fond of bursting into offices, it seems)

"Ramrod! I have some bad news." Said the frantic robot. "Apparently, a huge shipment of metal was in the middle of the solar system that got blown up by Hany's Ribbon, and we've lost contact with them. We suspect the ship was destroyed in the blast"

"Mraoh Mraoh...." (That's going to cause some problems) Mraoh'd Ramrod. "Mraoh mraoh mraoh-mraoh-mraoh?" (Don't we need that metal for a new batch of R-Core that are being made this month?)

"Yes! Production has already started!" Said Rorod.

"Mraoh... Mraoh Mraoh, Mraoh!" (well, could be worse. We COULD have to deal with Hany's Ribbon!"

"...That's ridiculous. Why the heck would it be here?" Said Rorod.
