Chapter Three. Whee.
Jet ignored the fact that that the door was closed as he entered the Bebop's cockpit. Andy was close behind, bothering Jet about something like him helping and such. Jet ignored him and ran a systems diagnostic.
This was not made any easier by the fact that the diagnostics system had failed, too.
Andy continued to go on and on about the help thing. Jet told him to shut up. Andy glared.
Jet, again ignoring the whole idea of a closed door, burst back into the living area.
Faye was still asleep, Spike was gone, and Edward was running a systems diagnostic on herself.
Jet sighed and risked his life by waking Faye with a 23 foot long pole.
Faye woke up, insulting Ein, who had also disappeared.
"Faye." Jet said softly, "Where did Spike go?"
"Dunno. Is the Bebop catching the virus too?"
"Cold cold coldy cold..." Ed sang, completing the check. "Bebop have cold, Spiky take Swordyfishy..."
"Heh." Faye muttered. "Of course HE abandons ship."
"Wait!" Ed cried. "Spiky not leave! Spiky-person went to brig! Briggy brig brig..." She sang herself into a euphoric unconsciousness.
"The brig?" Jet turned to Andy, who had just dashed off to the brig himself.
Jet sighed.

Ted Bauer, the Teddy bomber, also happened to be asleep.
While Faye had been awoken by a 23 foot long pole, Bauer was awakened by the sound of a gun's safety switch.
"Hey." Spike grinned.
"Oh, hello." Bauer sighed. "Come to move your ship finally?"
"Very funny. Actually, I've come to talk."
"Really? So you are willing to hear about the root source of all evil which has been plaguing me my whole life?"
"Yep," said Andy, who had appeared in the doorway. "Start talking."
Spike threw him a nasty glance, and turned his attention back to Bauer.
"Well," the bomber began, "The root source of all evil is the name of a computer virus that is transferred automatically. It can send itself to digital watches, calculators, anything with a microchip can serve as a carrier. "
"That explains a lot..." Andy grunted,
"But the real thing I've been trying to tell the world about is a person. The hacker who created the virus. The maniac designed the virus for nothing but their own entertainment, and if the virus is kept uncheck like it has, who knows what danger could result!"
"Edward knows! Edward knows!" shrieked Ed, flying through the door and landing on Spike's head. "Edward knows! Edwar-"
"What?" Spike pried her off his face. "What does Edward know?"
"Like I was saying," Bauer growled. "This virus was responsible for the destruction of the Earth's surface years ago, and-"
"It was Edward! Edward blowed up the Earth! Edward made email, send to Ed's father-person, spell address wrong, Earth go BOOM!" She mimicked exploding and fainted.
Everyone, including Jet and Faye, who had entered the room, stared in shock.
"You designed the virus?" Faye gawked.
Ed woke up. "Not virus! Email! Picture of Ed for father-person so father- person not miss Ed when Ed run away!"
"HA!" Bauer shouted! "All of this conversation was caught on my pocket- voice recorder! Now my forces know where the root source of all evil is hiding!" He laughed manically.
"Uh-oh..." Andy mused.
"ATTACK!" Bauer screamed into his pocket radio.
Suddenly, the ship rocked from a violent explosion. Ed again mimicked the Bebop's condition.
