[bristling and instinctively moving closer to Zero]

W-What's going on...

[shootthestars]

. . . I think that's what we were looking for! Maybe!

[gottabeatemall]

[hitting you for the cockpit comment]

No, it's not! And there's a bunch of AIs here! I don't get this simulation at all!

[shootthestars]

[o-ow]

It looked like it COULD HAVE BEEN! And it's just different from the Cueval! Really different!

[gottabeatemall]

Does it look anything like a button?! It's not even the same thing!

[shootthestars]

It's close enough!

[gottabeatemall]

Then go push it already!

[shootthestars]

I'm GOING! That's all I have to do, right?

[gottabeatemall]

Yeah, you just push it and it'll abort the simulation and everything will be back to normal! AND STOP YELLING AT ME!

[shootthestars]

You were yelling first! And yeah, yeah. . .

[approaching the bag, circling it halfway . . POKING IT WITH HIS FOOT.]

[gottabeatemall]

I was not! --Whatever, forget it!

[WAITS FOR IT... WAITS FOR IT] Do it again! I don't think anyone's used the eject in awhile so it might be rusty.

[shootthestars]

I'm working on it!

[considering. . . consid-oh hell, this is Zero. JUMPING ON IT.]

[gottabeatemall]

You're going to break it!!

[shootthestars]

It's fine! The bag's fine! So did it do anything?

[gottabeatemall]

I don't think so. If the eject isn't working... Maybe we can wait til an instructor finds us?

[shootthestars]

[. . . . .]

[JUMPING ON THE BAG AGAIN.]

I'm not giving up yet!
