I'm sitting on the floor, observing everything.

Adora grunts as her staff whiffs around in the air, practicing swinging it at imaginary foes. Some of the ship's interfaces ping up as holograms into Bow's view.

He stares at a swirling galaxy inside the hologram where a triangle is beeping on and off.

"We're getting closer to the signal Entrapta triangulated. We should reach Glimmer in the next--" the archer shouts nervously as he turns to Entrapta groaning,
"NOPE!"

Entrapta grunts as she pulls a panel off the side of the ship, she peers into the hole she made at the circuitry and gasps in excitement.

Bow runs up behind Entrapta and grabs her, making her drop the panel. In an exasperated way he tells her,

"What are you doing?! You can't take apart the ship while we're inside the ship. Did you forget about the--I don't know--crushing void of space?!"

Entrapta excitedly speaks, wringing her hands, and pausing for dramatic effect,
"I love thinking about the crushing void of space! But... there's always improvements to be made,"

She brings up a drill that whirs as she moves it closer to the wall circuitry,

"I could really boost this baby's speed--"

Bow leaps in front of the wall to cover the circuits.

"NO!"

He attempts to keep his voice calm,
"We have to keep the ship intact until we can reach Glimmer."

A loud metallic thud clangs and Bow gasps, as Adora with her staff stands next to the shaking captain's chair.

Adora chuckles nervously,
"...Sorry." she moves to steady the chair as the lights flicker on it for a moment.

I get up from the floor. In an annoyed voice, I authoritatively order them,

"You," I grab Entrapta and move her,
"stand there."

"You," I grab Adora and move her,
"stay there. And until we reach Glimmer, nobody is going to touch anything."

A loud rumble shakes the ship, causing us all to steady ourselves.

Mara's ship's interface speaks and the hologram starts glitching, causing the voice to stutter and raise in pitch,
"Diagnostics have revealed a pro-pro-prob--problem. My-y-y user interface will now shut down to conserve energy."

Bow runs over and plaintively says "No--!"

"G-goo-oodbye." it says before completely shutting off.

Bow increases in nervousness and volume,
"No, no, no, no, no!"

Adora and Entrapta gasp as the lights shut off in the bridge, and the ship completely pulls to a stop, whirring as it powers down. I just sit in the captains chair, being the only one who knows how to talk to dead people, I think it comes in handy.

Adora says,
"...I didn't do it."

"Shut up, I'm trying to reach Althea." I tell her.

"MY GIRL IS BACK!!"

"Jesus." I gasp.

"What's wrong, Y/N? Are you okay?" Adora asks.

"I'm fine, Althea just screamed."

"Can you see her?" the blonde asks.

"I... Don't know. I mean, I have a visions of what she looks like, but I can't see her." I explain.
