>>5708162You, SHERRY, NELLIE, and DOOFUS form something of a circle. SHERRY clears her throat.
"I think our best move is to get to that transport beam way up on top of the ship. I can try and reverse the flow of the beam and we can get inside the ship," she says. NELLIE nods.
"That sounds like a good idea!"
"Yeah, well," SHERRY interjects. "It does run the risk of completely vaporizing us if I don't get it right." NELLIE's face turns white as a sheet.
"That... sounds less good..." You are inclined to agree. As you absentmindedly look around, you notice the transport ship attached to the hull. This gives you an idea. SHERRY is the first to notice.
"What is it, horsey?" You point at the transport ship, and through a proud neigh, you tell the group that they can try to navigate the ship into the MU-F-O. Your brief moment of genius is interrupted, however.
"That's a ridiculous idea." You look past the group to see the lanky man from earlier walk up to you. Everyone turns to look at him too. "You want to fly that ship into the main mothership? No wonder horses have smaller brains," he scoffs.
"Terry! Be nice!" NELLIE frowns and turns to you. "That's just how he is, he's grumpy like that."
"I actually didn't think it was that bad of an idea, Terr. Why is it ridiculous?" SHERRY says.
"Well, for one, none of you have ever driven a transport ship. All our pilots are on the bridge, trying not to crash this colony ship. Ignoring that, even if you managed to work the controls and pry off the hull, what's to stop the mothership from shooting you down? The transport ships definitely were never meant to leave the ship they're attacking mid-battle. I could go on."
How do you respond?
