Sparks flew out of the wall, a hole sizzling into existence. The lights flickered out. Screams. The ship jerked, slamming everyone into the wall. Glass shattering. Patches let out a trumpet, charging towards the control deck. His feet where sliding.
The ship tilted back, leveling the ground. He gave one last leap, landing just inches from the panel. Then the ground shifted. He got to his feet, reached for the controls, only to have the ground snatched out from under him. He flew back, suspended in the air for what seemed like forever, and hit the wall with a sickening thud.

The lights flickered out, and when the ground began to tilt, the target range would turn into a 70 yard long freefall. Erin heard the new humans screaming in the other room. And Patches' trumpet. She darted across the floor, shoes barely getting a hold. In the dark, she dove for the doorway. She fell across it, draped halfway out of the room. Safe for now.
Then the ship started to pull the other direction. Erin flopped onto the ground at the base of the door-jam just as Patches was going for the controls. She screamed his name, but couldn't be heard over the others. Then the ship tilted once more.
She watched Patches slip. She watched him fall. She heard the thud, but he never heard her scream.

(How are Ezor and River taking the 70yard drop? What is Obo thinking in the weapons room with Patches and th Humans?)
