Theodore hurryingly shuts off the launch alert system, not wanting to draw attention to a jettisoned escape pod. All is quiet as he takes one last look at the escape vehicle shrinking in the distance of the void. Just a little bit longer and his task will be complete, the pod needs to get out of plain sight before that happens though but he can't stay here to watch it, should Captain Simon take notice in the BRIDGE or any passengers or crew watching outside. They hardly ever do, but better safe than turns to leave, but freezes. Did he just hear a sound?

He runs out of the launch bay to avoid any witnesses. Brittany emerges from behind cover, too worried to be relieved of avoiding detection after calling out to Jeanette.

"Oh, no," she dashes over to the viewport hatch and looks on in horror to see Jeanette rapidly dwarfing and disappearing into space. She tries to think, what should she do? Jeanette's getting farther and farther by the second, what should she do?

Brittany looks around in desperation, her mind too stressed of the situation for quick coherent thinking. She spots the service airlock. That's it! She must go after Jeanette. As fast as she can move, Brittany accesses the extra-vehicular survival gear, Brittany frowns when she sees there's nothing but BNL spacesuits.

I'll just put the helmet on. She begins to panic.

Brittany puts the helmet on and blasts out of the instantly decompressed airlock, the escaping air catapulting her into the vacuum of space at high velocity. Brittany straightens her body like a skydiver, her tail curled against her back. She neutrally diverts more of her single ladies outfit's power to the antigravity boots, leaving a contrail of blue light in her wake.

She surpasses the escape automobile's speed, slowly gaining on it. Nineteen thousand, five hundred meters, then nineteen thousand meters...eighteen thousand ...

She pursues Jeanette like a bat out of hell bent on saving an innocent victim…

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

Jeanette had no idea what just happened, one second she was closed off from Brittany and now she was pinned to the hatch, screaming in panic as the escape vehicle rocketed away, making her stomach rotate like the wheels of her favorite character from Combination from the g-forces of sudden speed burst.

The Axiom Escape Vehicle's onboard computer decelerates the pod.

"CRUISING SPEED, YOU ARE NOW FREE TO MOVE ABOUT THE CABIN."

Jeanette falls to the deck, the least too relieved. She's still gathering her situational awareness.

"Uh, oh," as she sees the great flagship star liner begin to dwindle in the distance, she realizes she was launched and getting farther and farther away from the Axiom, from Brittany! She has to do something!

She scrambles to her feet, looking around for what to do. Jeanette sees the control column and looks back at the Axiom. She dashes for the piloting controls, she has to get back to ship. Jeanette grabs the steering yoke, it won't bulge. She pulls harder, still nothing, after slamming the controls it still doesn't respond to any of her commands.

"Come on!" she fights the controls, realizes Theodore set it to autopilot.

She keeps trying until it says it'll blow up. Jeanette gets out, meets up with Brittany and the pod explodes.
