PBPB and Fxeni approached the I.S.S. gradually in their mechs, weaving through nearby debris as they went along. There's more than I thought there would be... Fxeni thought to himself as he tried to keep track off the debris floating around. He kept an eye on the Hyper Jammers' stability as they approached their destination, hoping it could last long enough for them to get inside the station undetected. Seeing a larger piece of debris floating along, Fxeni decides to latch on to it and push it gradually towards the entrance they wanted to use. PBPB wondered what the hell he was up to, but she knew that he must of had some crazy idea.
As they approached the door that they wanted to use, they ground to a halt next to it. Fxeni took out the schematics of the station and examined them briefly before finding what he wanted. The Fxescythe's hand slid across the wall next to the door until reaching a peculiar panel on it. Fxeni pushed it in and slid it, revealing an emergency door opener. He placed the Fxescythe's hand in it and made it spin, gradually opening the doors next to them.
As the doors opened, a monitor flashed orange. Fxeni looked at it and cursed under his breath, attempting to speed up the process before the Hyper Jammers gave out. The monitor started to flash red once the door was opened. With no time to lose, Fxeni gestured for PBPB's Ardjet to get into the station. Once PBPB was fully inside, Fxeni regrabbed the large piece of debris and pushed it into the station with them. Once inside, Fxeni closed the door with a similar emergency door handle on the inside as the Hyper Jammers' functionality fizzled out. Now fully visible, the mechs stood out like a sore thumb inside the hangar they now found themselves in. Pointing to an isolated corner in the room, Fxeni dragged the debris along to it. PBPB at once understood what he was doing, went into the corner and had the Ardjet kneel over as much as possible. Fxeni did the same with the Fxescythe, and then dragged the debris over to cover the mechs up.
"Are you sure that's going to work?" PBPB whispered over to Fxeni once they were both out of their respective mechs.
"Certainly better than leaving them out in the open for the world to see... with any luck, it'll work out just fine," Fxeni replied, looking over the schematics of the station yet again.
"Do you think that they noticed the door being opened?" PBPB inquired.
"Probably not, Peebs... since the emergency handle is manual, it shouldn't trigger any alarms. Well uh... keyword being shouldn't," Fxeni said with a tiny tinge of concern in his voice.
"Yeah well these- wait a second! STOP CALLING ME THAT!" PBPB said angrily.
"Not a chance!" Fxeni said with a grin.
"I'll find some stupid nickname for you, just you wait!" PBPB pouted.
"Uh huh," Fxeni said with a shrug. "Now umm... here," He said as he pulled out the device he was tinkering with back in his quarters and handed it over to PBPB.
"Oh this thing. What the hell is it for?" she asked as she turned it around in her hands.
"It should help you regain control of the station, just in case something happens to me in here," he replied as he looked around the room a bit. PBPB just stared at the device for a moment, then looked back up to Fxeni.
"What the hell do you mean just in case something happens to you? You're not planning to do something extremely stupid, are you?" PBPB inquired harshly.
"Not at all! But you know me, I like to be prepared," Fxeni replied with a small smile.
"True enough... but you better not be [tornado fang]ing lying to me, or else I'm really going to hurt you later!" PBPB said, poking Fxeni's chest repeatedly.
"Don't worry about it, Peebs! Now, shall we? We have quite the trek ahead of us," Fxeni assured her.
"A trek? Why?" PBPB asked with a glare in her eyes.
"Well, there's a reason this door was the least guarded... it's the furthest away from anything," Fxeni said a bit sheepishly, starting to walk down the hangar towards the closest door.
"Fantastic." PBPB retorted dryly, following his lead.
