TheRealMe looks up from the console. "There! The remote control for the porthole shows it to be closed, now."

Jet frowns while examining another console display. "Lost one! Soul shot out the porthole before you auto-shut it!"

"Soul? Well, with his superpowers, he should be..."

"Safe?"

TheRealMe keys his com-link. "Hello? Is everyone aside from Soul okay up there?"

**jake7 starts when she hears TRM's voice, then speaks into her comm**

Soul, Mai, and I are all still in the common room.

I'm OK and the others seem OK...

Safe...just got sucked out of the port hole! What are we doing to do? The window slammed shut the second he cleared the opening...

**her words trail off as shock takes over again**

Surely the ship has a safety net of some kind? I mean we have a lot of accident prone kids on this crew.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes

TheRealMe strides out of an elevator on the edge of the common room, heading for the main airlock. He is wearing a vac suit. "No problem!" he says as he pulls the helmet down over his head. Making a clicking sound, it mates with the rest of the suit.

TheRealMe enters the airlock and seals the door behind him. He attatches a safety line. Then, while holding his breath unconsciously, he opens the outer door.

The unimaginable chaos of hyperspace greets him, swirling and moving about as it enters the airlock like tendrils of a living thing. He moves to the outer door, grabbing a fishing pole off the wall. "I used to do this for Rat all the time," he tells himself. "Back when he kept getting himself spaced."

TheRealMe casts the line out to snatch his wayward companion. "Hmmm... Need some practice."

Safe leans over Mai's and Jake7's shoulders from behind, "Boy I wouldn't want to be me right now, floating around in hyperspace and all. I'm not dressed properly for that kind of excursion."

Mai and Jake7 jump, startled.

"How did I get out there anyhow? And why are you two looking at me like that? Shouldn't you be helping TRM save Soul and me? By the way, tell TRM he's using the wrong bait."

Safe shrugs and heads back to the bar, "I'll have another margaretta please. Being trapped in hyperspace, I've worked up quite a thirst."

*whispers to Jake7

Ummm, is it just me or does Safe look a bit transperent and floaty?

**OOC: Dang it! I wrote the wrong name in my posts!! Sad thing is, I thought I'd double-checked myself... **

**jake7 turns to Mai**

Well, not only does he look transparent and floaty -- he's still covered in tomato sauce!

**she has the sudden realization that TRM is looking for the wrong crew member. She hits her comm to update him**

TRM? I hope you get this message. I goofed! I told you it was Safe who got sucked out of the ship -- it was actually Soul! I guess that's what shock can do to you... Anyway, I wanted you to know that in case that makes any difference to you as you try to reel in our lost ship-mate...

**jake7 presses the end comm button and then sits down to try to collect what is apparently left of her brain...*

TheRealMe casts again and scores a direct hit on Soul's floaty form. The hook, of course, goes right through Soul's ghostly body.

TheRealMe frowns. "Right. He phases out of this dimension. Time for plan B."

TheRealMe replaces the fishing pole in its slot in the airlock inner wall and jumps out into the swirling void of hyperspace. As he floats out and approaches Soul, he puts a red glove over the glove of his vac suit.

"I got this glove from the Bleach Anime universe. It can touch spirits."

TheRealMe grabs Soul's normally intagible arm with the special glove. "Good! Got you!"

With a jerk, TheRealMe and Soul reach the end of their safety line. "Now we just need someone to drag us back!"
