The Idiot’s Guide to Illegal Tech Repair 11
(No Time To Lose)

Amanda wasted no time at all,
Gathering her crew together.
No lockdown would keep them apart,
And no Gryvian would sever-
The fight she had within herself
Or within her team.
They gathered in what Coolidge called his “Throne room”
To cook up an escape scheme.

Amanda: “Okay everyone,
Listen up carefully!
The Gryvian Troop has escaped our ship,
And I can’t find Coolidge, readily.
The station is now on lockdown,
And there’s no way for us to leave,
This station has a psycho troop on it.
I need some ideas, please!”

Before any ideas could percolate,
A screen nearby lit up,
The face of the Gryvian Troop was on it.

Dex: “He’s not just broadcasting to us!”

Pandora: “Turn up the volume!”

Pandora said quickly,
Blayze grabbed a remote and obeyed.
And what The Gryvian Troop had to say,
Was definitely, grave.

Gryvian Troop: “Calling Gryve Outpost 2021.
I’m sending you my location.
My mission has been stung.
ITR techs, Toolbox types by their look,
Have me holed up in a space station.
But I’ve initiated maneuver, ‘Rook.’
The place is locked down,
And I await your rescue.
For Gryve, and for his power!
I patiently await you.”

The feed cut out,
And for a moment, all was silence.
Then fire rose in Amanda.

Amanda: “Time for some defiance.
Blayze! James! Hunt this sucker down!
If they’re taking this space station,
They won’t find him around!”
