"Who thought it was a good idea to give the damn thing 5 transmissions, only for it to go to shit when just one screws up? That is twenty minutes we<em>don't</em>have, but do what you can as fast as you can. We've got no time for meticulousness, understood?" He shook his head in the cockpit, looking around and quickly running over options in his head.<br/><br/>Makoto radioed him after he got the news and gave his opinion, which while valuable, they couldn't follow through with. "Good idea, Takai. Only problem is with that transmission locked down, the Hauler'll be so slow we'll probably get caught anyway." Momo's voice crackled in over the radio and asked what was going on. He informed her, then thought about her request. She wouldn't be around if they were ambushed here, but her on active search duty would lessen the chances of that happening in the first place.<br/><br/>"Request granted, Momo. But you be careful. No heroics okay? We're best as a team." Portland spoke up and hopped down to see what she could do to fix the hauler. Her estimate was around the same as the others. "Portland, you work with the rest of the techs and get this thing up and running as fast as possible. We're on a rapidly diminishing time table and if the clock hits zero, we're all fucked." Shinichi opened a comm channel too, asking to join the perimeter search. "Granted; you two watch each others backs."<br/><br/>It took longer than he wanted for the Hauler to get fixed, but not as long as he'd feared. And that was more than they could ask for in this situation. Even though the hauler wasn't as fast as normal, it was fast enough when they had no other options. On their way, radio transmissions came through about a downed ship and a search for survivors. "Listen up everyone. That crash and those survivors are<em>not</em>our mission. They're in our house now, and we've got more than enough personnel to see about it. We stick to the plan and get to the base, but if we happen to run into any Zeon on our way...give em' hell."<br/><br/>(Sooooo sorry for the wait guys)
