“..... Destruct. Dammit.” you say, Freeza and Aqua both looking around confused.
“Eh? EHHH??” Aqua shouts, her panic clearly rising. S-S-Self destruct? Don't tell me this whole ship is going to blow up?!”
“How did you.... Nevermind. Do not worry, I have the override.” Freeza says calmly, lifting just off the ground and floating towards the newly-doorless entryway. “I'll handle this, and take care of our little rat. Thankfully, he's just revealed his position.”
With that Freeza begins floating out of the room, disappearing around the corner as Aqua gets up, and rushes over to your feet and begins dragging you. Ignoring her for a moment, you telepathically reach out to Yunyun and Darkness, letting them know not to worry and that the ship isn't about to blow up. Then, ending the mental link, you see Aqua's already dragged you to the doorway.
“Come on Kazuma, we gotta go! Before the whole ship blows up!” she shouts, panicked. “Let's find the escape pods and get out of here!”
Suddenly all of the pieces fit together. A mere ship explosion wouldn't kill Freeza, even in his weaker 'canon' of DBZ, he survived a PLANET exploding directly in his face when he was only half a man left. This wouldn't be enough to harm him. But it WOULD provide excellent cover to sneak out of the ship, grabbing an escape pod and launching them all before they could be filled. If you were a traitor, you wouldn't die for the cause. You'd want to live, and reap the rewards! So your traitor's accomplice is no-doubt headed that way. But what can you do about it?
“Don't worry, Freeza's got that.” you reply to her, then close your eyes and focus once more on your telepathy. You haven't actually gotten a chance to speak with 'the fastest man in the universe' yet, but now's when his talent is needed! “Burter! Listen close: a traitor set off that alarm. Don't let anyone leave through the escape pods!”
“Who're you?” comes the immediate reply. “How are you on this channel?”
“Oi, you'd better git to explainin', real quick.” Jeice follows up, even when speaking mentally he keeps his accent.
“Lord Freeza just caught a traitor, and his partner set off the self-destruct sequence!” you tell them both. “But the traitor isn't going to stick around, they'll be looking for a way out! You're the fastest in the universe, right Burter? Don't let them get away!”
“I'm on it!” the Blue Hurricane declares, ending the mental link with you as he no-doubt goes to secure that escape path. And with Jeice, and shortly the entire Ginyu Force on high alert, the likelihood of escaping unnoticed just went down to zero.
