*Bloo quickly tabs to the short-range scanners and grunts*
Bloo: *shouting angrily* Hells hells, WHY DIDN'T CHALEX UPDATE THE MAPS TO THE LATEST VERSION ALREADY! *sighs* Ok, we can't avoid it at this speed, VoX, takes evasive action! Now!
*VoX does so, flying the ship the best he can*
Bloo: Scanning now... right, up loading a map for you VoX, do the best you can - shi-.
*The map shows that the ship is about to be bombarded by an asteroid to its starboard side. A few seconds later the asteroid crashes into the ship, its shields not being able to reflect the relatively slow moving asteroid (in comparison to say, a laser beam or mass accelerator shot...) , causes the whole ship shudders at the crash, consoles blowing up in an inordinately dangerous way and fires burning everywhere*
VoX: Someone get that fire out!
*seconds later the main guns fire, blowing the asteroid into dust and blowing up a few more, the crew takes a collective sigh of relief*
Bloo: *takes a breath* Ugh.. that was just the start of it.
Chazlene: *panting* Yeah, VoX do what you can *Chazlene presses on the intercom* Keep the guns prepped down there Oricalcos, good work. Engineers, forward as much power to the shields as you can, and Chalex, wake up, we have a situation. *ends intercom* Phew... remind me to give Oricalcos a free anti-grav pen when I see him.
Bloo: At least it wasn't like the time Crewman Vicious brought all those damn Snarlaccian snakes onto the ship...
