"You want me to send my men off on a suicide mission and expect your group to come back with batteries to power up the ship engines?" Captain Joy asks, leaning back in the dark chair.

Tommy and Loki share a nod.

"Yes," Tommy and Loki said.

Captain Joy laughs.

"I wasn't born yesterday," Captain Joy said. "It is not the power that we have a problem on, it is the engines."

"The engines are fine," Loki said.

Captain Joy frowns.

"You are not the one who speaks for this group, Mr Crane," Captain Joy said.

Tommy clears his throat.

"Thomas knows this planet better than I," Tommy said.

Loki elbow punches Tommy at the shoulder.

"But you just said you never been on this planet," Captain Joy said.

"We did," Tommy said, rubbing his shoulder.

"So are you explorers?" Captain Joy asks, quizzically.

"Hell no," Tommy said.

Captain Joy smiles leaning forwards and places her elbows on the table putting both hands in a ball interlocked with one another.

"Then my men have no reason to go off losing their lives for no reason," Captain Joy said.

Tommy sighs as Loki goes to the window and shuts the blinds.

"Thought you would say that, Capt," Tommy said. "Do you really consider your men's lives more important than saving them?"

"It is the policy of this voyage to drop them off at their training facility and then relinquish rights of their status as cadets aboard this ship," Captain Joy said. "I consider it my mission to make sure they get to their destination zamn alive."

"Are you familiar to the movie Back into Pitch Black?" Loki asks, turning away from the closed blinds.

"No," Captain Joy said.

"How convenient," Loki said.

"Why?" Captain Joy asks.

Tommy turns off the lights.

"Because this is what will happen to the men and woman aboard this vessel if you do not heed Tom's request," Loki said. "I am only an adviser...After all."

A screen projects across from Captain Joy.

"We'll give you two hours and forty three minutes to reconsider," Tommy said, going to the door.

"And you won't be able to leave the room until it is over," Loki adds.

Captain Joy stands up.

"What do you mean by can't leave the room?" Captain Joy asks.

"That's just it," Tommy said, with a snicker. He goes towards the door. "You can't." Loki walks away from the blinds. "Not until the movie is over."

Tommy opens the door then went out of the room.

"I am a god zamn Fletsopien," Captain Joy said, Loki goes to the door. "I can do whatever the hell I want! You have no authority to say otherwise"

Loki turns away with a smile towards Captain Joy.

"Magic," Loki said. "That is what I have and you do not." Loki points directly towards Captain Joy. "Now for every men who dies in the movie; just think of it as the cadets falling thanks to the aliens busting through the metal." Loki lowers his right hand to his side grabbing on to the handle with his left hand. "They are dead, either way, and making them do nothing is not a great way to die. It makes killing the cadets a whole lot easier for the aliens." Loki opens the door as Captain Joy's face turns into a furious one. "Don't you know honor? Sometimes the hardest men are not easily taken down without a fight."

Loki went out the door and locks it behind him after shutting it.

"MR CRANE!" Captain Joy shouts, in anger.

"Did you give her that speech?" Tommy asks.

Loki nods.

"I have been dying to give it," Loki said.

"Congratulations," Tommy said. "You just used the word 'dying' correctly!"

"I have been using the word correctly," Loki insists.

Tommy has a short laugh.

"Uh no," Tommy said, shaking his head. "Not really," Loki folds his arms with a look of disbelief. "Remember all those nasty looks you got from those old ladies at the store awhile back?"

Loki's eyes wondered and then they focused back on Tommy.

Loki's face changes to a 'oooh' facial reaction.

"I thought they were glaring at me because I looked better than them," Loki said.

Tommy rubs his forehead.

"...Of course not," Tommy said.
