"Systems overheating, engines crashing!" Doctor Marbles shouted out in warning. He glanced at the small female cyborg curled on a cot. "Emergency landing imminent! Brace for crash!"
He jerked the steering column upwards, hoping to keep the hovercraft airborne for as long as possible. Matt, Jackie, and Inez crouched by the cot, clinging to it and keeping the woman from falling off. Digit furiously flipped switches in the co-pilot's seat, desperately trying to help Doctor Marbles. Hacker fired another shot, completely eradicating one of their engines.
"Doc, we just lost engine two!" Digit yelled. "We're done for!"
"Calm your circuits! Maneuvering for emergency landing now! Cybermates, are you braced for impact?"
"Ready!" the girls called.
"Don't worry, Doc, we've got her!" Matt called over the shaking of the ship.
"All right. Program begin, start!"
They lost altitude quickly, the drop popping their ears and making their stomachs flip. The cyborg on the bed whimpered, the crash landing not belong her in her already weakened condition. Jackie and Inez winced in sympathy, hushing her. Pained eyes peeled out at them, tears glistening in electric blue eyes. Matt reached over and found her hand, squeezing comfortingly.
"We've got you, you'll be okay, Motherboard. I promise."
