Freefall 0131
Catch! The first appearance of Sawtooth Rivergrinder
Why are there no tire tracks? Well, uhm…
My teddy bear is gone! Mr. Frumpy is missing!
I WANT MY TEDDY BEAR!
I know where he is. I'll go get him.
Nice save, Helix.
Anytime, Boss.

On the woad again! I just can't wait to put on the woad again! When you're blue, you know you've picted your friends. I just can't wait to put on the woad again!

I can't believe Florence wanted to sleep instead of singing with us.
She's still tired. That must be why she accidentally stuffed cotton in her ears.
Can she still hear us?
I think so, Helix. I can hear her whimpering every now and then.
Freefall 0133
We're getting close to town. It's time to play…
I know! I know! Spot the car!
That's right. If we spot a police car, we win.
How do we lose?
A police car spots us.
Freefall 0134
I don't know why the police keep stopping me. There's no reason for it.
The last ten times they pulled me over, how often was I doing something illegal?
Ten times.
I still say statistics are a poor excuse to stop anyone.
Freefall 0135
Helix, why am I even worrying about the police?
All the stuff on this trip was legally salvaged by our engineer. What have we done that's wrong?
We stole the truck to make the trip. Our engineer is kind of stolen too.
But that was almost a week ago. Surely the statute of limitations has expired by now.
Freefall 0136
Helix, we did not steal this truck. We borrowed it.
Mr. Rivit knows we have it, and we've always given it back.
True, sometimes it was at gunpoint, but we've always given it back.
Freefall 0137
We're home!
My own room back. My stuff. No more worrying about Sam crashing into a mountain and causing bloody, fiery, annoying death.
I can hardly wait for Florence to get the ship fixed so I can fly it!
Oh, well. Two out of three's not bad.
Freefall 0138
Home again. Arrival back at the ship

Now that we're home, it's time to stop and unload the truck.
Most people would consider those two separate steps.
Lucky for you I'm not most people.
Freefall 0139
Sam, what happened?
I crashed into a big rock and all the stuff flew off the truck.
*sigh* Well, I suppose accidents happen. I'd better start getting this stuff inside.
Amazing. The idea you did that on purpose never entered her head.
If she weren't so naive, I'd be insulted. With the exception of pedestrians, I always hit what I aim at.
Freefall 0140
We're home. We're unpacked. What do you want to do now?
Restore power.
Now that we have the parts, we can have the port fusion engine repaired, pressure tested, and on line by morning.
Good idea, Flo. But I was thinking more along the lines of making popcorn and watching T.V.
