[b]As Ernest[/b]
 Ernest considered the warning from the Quatis. Whatever the unknown vessel is, possibly Rufus's ship, it's probably not a big deal for Ernest, he is a war machine after all.

 "I don't think I have gotten the chance to thank you for calming down those elephants yet." Ernest said to Fanny May while getting the coms ready. "I would not have been able to keep them from hurting themselves or damaging my hull without you."

 Ernest then turns his thoughts and attentions to Rufus. What a curious situation. Who was this Rufus, and how was he able to cause an error in the very fabric of Fanny May's Universe? [i]Hold on... Miss May referred to the universe as her own. And combined with her powers...[/i] Ernest has just realized, Fanny May is claiming to be the God of this universe. As far as Ernest is concerned, she might be right.

 But Ernest decided that he had more pressing matters to think about. Although, that was important, he'll think about it when he gets the chance.

 Ernest sent a message to Rufus's ship. "Greetings. I am The Ernest, representing myself. I have every reason to believe I am talking to the entity known as Rufus. I have been informed that you, Rufus, are responsible for causing a critical error in the very fabric of space and time. While I must say that it is very impressive that you somehow managed to cause the entire universe to become screwed up, it has caused me and at least one other individual, probably far more, a great deal of stress and/or anger, and we do not appreciate it. You will explain yourself immediately. Attempts, successful or not, to cause a similar space-time error, will be treated as an action of direct hostility."

[b]As Ramrod[/b]
 "Son of a Mraoh!" explained Ramrod upon figuring out it's too big. He really did try to make it small, he swears!

 Ramrod tries to use the console to assemble Zeal outside of Rufus's ship. It takes a few minutes for Ramrod to get used to working like this, but he figures it out eventually.

 [b][i]CLANG![/i][/b] Ramrod looked over to what just fell. It was his wrench. That he was apparently keeping on his head. Well, at least he knows where it is now.

 Ramrod thinks a little bit about what will happen to Zeal when he activates her. Then he gets distracted be a desire for food, which he then satisfied while finishing up this new ship. 

"And that should be it!" Ramrod said as he assembled the last pieces. "It should be ready to activate." Ramrod then starts looking for an activate button that probably doesn't exist. On the off chance he finds it, he presses it.

[b]As Siren and Rodia[/b]
 Siren was frustrated to hear the automated message. She then had to clean out more blood, assuming she's still bleeding. At this point, a biological probably would have bled out and fainted....

 Rorod Bursts in. Siren asks "How are the R-Core coming?"

 Rorod: "Actually, they were finished by the Sporn. I think there was a miscommunication somewhere."

 Siren: "That seems to happen a lot in this station. You all really-... er, WE all really need to pay more attention." Siren almost let herself sound narcissistic as crap. She is, but she doesn't need people knowing that.

 Siren continues: "Anyway, we have blueprints to add a hyperdrive to this thing, right? Maybe some defence mechanisms other than our fleet?"

 Rorod: "Yeah, I know we have the Hyperdrive plans. Not sure about a defence mechanism..."

 Siren: "Well, keep defences in mind, but the Hyperdrive is higher priority. We don't need to be dragged into Hany's Ribbon again."

 .............................

Meanwhile on the Sporn planet, Gamma and Lars have run into each other again.

 Gamma: "Any luck."

 Lars: "No, they all seem preoccupied by the danger. We should probably get back to Rodia."

 Gamma: "Yeah, you are probably right. I could get us there if I had, say, the Emerald Star chip.... but oh hey THAT WAS CONFISCATED FROM ME!"

 Lars: "WITH GOOD REASON!"

 Gamma: "Fair enough. But are there by any chance any sporn that AREN'T busy?"
