Aboard the Nomad, alarms were sounding everywhere.

"Find out what is wrong," commanded Jamar. "And make it... not wrong."

[Another classic quote out of Frozen. :P]

The crewmen ran about, searching for the cause of the problem. The ship was bustling with such activity. Jamar's voice suddenly crackled over the PA.

"Attention all crewmen! The one who finds out and ends what isn't right here gets a 200 ajarnon bonus!"

[What kind of currency is 'ajarnon' anyways? Knowing ZXD, it's probably either completely made up, or lifted from some game he's familar with. >.>]

Hours of excited searching passed. It was then that a young crewman named Jared came upon that sparking control panel. He scratched his head, all the while making an acessment.

"Well, looks like some kind of liquid has drained into it."

Suddenly, a grin wiped across his face. He pulled out a walkie talkie and called for help. Aftter a few minutes, his help arrived in the form of... a chef? More specifically, Piezo the chef from Francos V. He handed Jared a small box and an empty jynnan tonnyx bottle.

[Piezo of 'Francos V'? I'm sure that's some kind of reference. And also, lol at yet another jynnan tonnyx reference. I think that's 3 or 4 now. :P]

"Thank you Piezo, that will be all."

Piezo scurried off fast as his pudgy legs could move him. Jared opened the box, revealing his secret weapon. A... turkey... baster? Yes, it was in fact a turkey baster. Jared smiled evilly and stuck it into a small crack in the machine.

[Hopefully you won't damage the circuitry and other components even worse, you duncecap. :P]

"What's this?" gurgled the liquid Adure. "Some kind of... plastic tube. Like a... turkey baster?"

"That's right. A turkey baster!" Jared laughed.

["Fear the turkey baster, for it is king amongst anything made of liquid, foul man!" XD]

He squeezed and released it. Adure was trapped inside it. But not for long Another squeeze put him inside the jynnan tonnyx bottle. The alarms ceased.

"Very good Jared," complimented Jamar. "You've earned this."

He handed Jared 200 ajarnon, just as he was promised.

"As for you, Mr. Adure... put him in the freezer."

[Ouch, that's not gonna be good for Adure's complexion, is it? :P

Also, I don't think this was done as much with vitrol for PikaBot in mind, like ZXD has been with PlasmaPenguin, but more to keep the story dramatic.]

--------------

Back on Earth, Bob was still a trifle mad. He felt neglected, rejected, conveyed as a loser. Like he was coming across as a bad person. He knew that he was indeed a bad person, but it still wasn't right. Not at all.

[Oh come on man, it's a flappin' message someone merely asked to deliver. I'm sorry if you followed your to-be girlfriend just to get turned around, but stuff happens. :\]

"Crypha, you know what it feels like to be rejected?"

[Relevant as hell question, Bob? :P]

She looked deeply into Bob's eyes. She turned abruptly and lowered her head.

"You don't know the half of it..."

[Well, I supposed the subject is a serious enough one to get Crypha to sober up as opposed to either gushing happily or screaming at someone in rage. <.<]

"Trust me, I do."

"No... it's different. You wouldn't understand..."

["I kill people, I kill a lot of people... I think I can understand a bit of depression, lady." >.>]

"Try me."

"Well..."

She whispered into Bob's ear. He jumped up and yelled.

[Wow, must've been something terrible to make him jump like that. :P]

"AAAH! NO WAY!"

She giggled like a schoolgirl.

"Yep! That's right Bob, I've got a crush on yooooou!"

[Oh snap... yep... there's our confirmation of Crypha's feelings and her reason for turning to our side. o.o]

"AAAAAAAAAH!!!!"

Bob burst out the door and looked for a place to hide. Crypha followed shortly after, giggling all the way.

["I just want more Bobsicles... Come on, it doesn't kill you... it's just makes new ones... I promise!" :P]

"Aww, come out Bob! If you don't, I'll have to come fiiiiiiind yoooooooou!"

Oh man, oh man, oh man... I like Sandra, not Crypha... must escape...

[Of course you do, Romeo. :P]
