???CYPRESS, CYPRESS. LOCK THE MAIN HATCH, PREPARE FOR CRASH LANDING!??? Yelled dad in a shaky voice. ???I AM!??? Screamed Cypress. ???CALM IT VECTOR!??? I was under the main control panel as we were hurtling towards the fiery depths of a newly found crater. Into the unknown, possibly death....
Everything was flashing red, it felt like some high tech roller coaster ride. Suddenly we hit strong turbulence and my head hit the control panel above me. I felt blood gushing down the sides of my face. It was streaming into my mouth. I could taste the saltiness of it. ???Cypress!??? I wept. The pain was intense but I had to get this ship up and running again. ??? Get the Tricepter!??? The three ended fork tool was important to get the ships gear back into place.

There was a loud click, then a thump, and the ship was back on line again. ???I???ve done it I gasped. ???Pull up Vector??? Cypress barked. We were suddenly straight again, and there were no more flashing lights. ???Well done boy??? cheered Dad. ???That???s my Rueben. I told you he should come Cypress was enjoying my appreciation when wound started to throb. I ripped some of my black T-shirt off and wrapped it around my head. We have to land this thing.
The Zonerfinder wasn???t up to shape. It was just online so it was a very bumpy landing. We hit the ground before we could switch to landing mode. I felt the thump run through every cell in my body. We were sliding at full speed with a gut wrenchin
