Part 5--
Bella: They're shutting down everything, long range comm systems, engines, not life support...not yet anyway.
Fire: Erz, you've got to find a way in there.

Erz: Ok, here's my plan, we dress Mee up like a woman--
Mee: Why me?
Erz: Isn't it obvious?
fran: Who would be attracted to a woman with a bionic arm?
Flexo: I would.
muscles: Muscles to Erz, can you read me?
Erz: Muscles? What do you want? I'm busy exploring Mee's womanhood.
muscles: Sounds like fun. But I just thought you might like to know that since I was stuck here in the jeffries tube anyway I decided to go ahead and override the forcefield.
Erz: Hah! My plan worked.
Darth: What plan?
Erz: Exactly.

It took a few minutes to push muscles, but they finally made it into Engineering...
Matt: What-- intruders! Kill them!
Erz: Phasers to stun!
fran: Remember to watch your aim, don't hit the core!
Mee: Are you talking to them or us?
fran: Us, er... we! YOU!
Mee: Oh, ok.

Asteroid-Man: So, Bella, worried about Erz?
Bella: I'm worried about the whole ship.
A-Man: Oh, my you're a friendly one aren't you.
Bella: What? I'm worried about the whole ship blowing up, I'm not in love with the whole ship!
A-Man: Right...blowing up, that would suck. So you are in love with Erz then?
Bella: Are you writing a book or something?
A-Man: Or something. And that's not a no.
A-Man ran off the Bridge with an evil laugh.

Only Matt was left of the hijackers, I/P Darth and fran we're all hit, only stunned, Flexo and muscles took them to Sickbay. Erz and Mee we're left to find Matt, and stop him....
Mee: Why would they only stun them?
Erz: I'm not sure. I'm sensing something in the hijackers though, like...a presence. Something...influencing their actions.
Mee: Like...a brain?
Erz: Mind control! Do I have to spell it out?! Don't ruin the drama.
Mee: Right, sorry.
Matt: Drop your weapons or I'll blow the core!
Mee: Wha- I can't see em, you see em?
Erz: No--
Matt: So drop your weapons!
Mee: Enough drama for you?
Erz: Plenty. Could use some love scenes though.
Mee: I'm not being the girl for that either.
