--MISS TONKS--

3-2-1...TOUCHDOWN!

--PROF E--

GREAT JOB MISS T. HOW WE LOOKIN' ?

--MISS TONKS--

TO BORROW A PHRASE FROM L.E.'S COMM TEAM, EVERYTHING'S 5 BY 5. PUT HER DOWN IN A LITTLE AREA IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL. UHMM...MIGHT NEED TO REPLACE SOME GRASS. IT'S KINDA SCORCHED. I'LL START RESEARCHING LOCAL SOD FARMS.

--KB-23--

UH, WE NEED A CLEAN UP ON AISLE K2, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. BETTER CALL ATMO.

--K-2L5--

SORRY GUYS. STUDYING WHILE DOING MACH 25 TENDS TO UPSET MY GIZMOS.

--KB-23--

THAT'S WHY I DON'T STUDY. HA! ALSO, MIGHT HELP IF YOU STAYED AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS DURING FREE FALL.

--MISS TONKS--

KB'S CORRECT. IT'S SENSORY MIS-MATCH K2.

--K-2L5--

WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT MISS T? I CAN'T BELIEVE STUDYING IS THE PROBLEM.

--MISS TONKS--

WELL, STUDYING IS FINE. IT'S WHEN YOUR BRAIN THINKS YOU'RE MOVING BECAUSE IT'S PERCEIVING MOTION THROUGH YOUR INNER EAR (HUMANS), OR SPATIAL ORIENTATION SYSTEMS (ROBOTS), WHILE YOUR EYES ARE FOCUSING ON A STATIONARY BOOK AND TELLING YOUR BRAIN YOU'RE NOT MOVING.

--L.E.--

THAT'S RIGHT. YOUR BRAIN GETS CONFUSED AND MAKES YOU FEEL NAUSEOUS TO LET YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG.

--KB-23--

HUH. IT'S THE SHIPS VERSION OF A FIRE ALARM.

--L.E.--

SOMETHING YOU KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT. RIGHT K-BACONATOR?

--KB-23--

HEY, FREE FALL MAKES K-2L5 NAUSEOUS. IT MAKES ME HUNGRY. YOU KNOW, BURNT SOGGY BACON IS NOT THAT BAD.

--PROF E--

SO TRUE. BACON IN ANY FORM IS PRETTY GOOD. BUT I PREFER IT WITHOUT FIRE SUPPRESSION FOAM. ANYWHO, K2, IF YOU TURN OFF YOUR SPATIAL ORIENTATION SYSTEM DURING FREE FALL THEN NO MORE SPACE CHUNKS. CAPISCI? NOW, MISS TONKS, WHAT'S NEXT ON OUR CHECKLIST?

--MISS TONKS--

OK. FIRST, I'LL SWITCH THE SHIP INTO SCHOOL HOUSE MODE. THEN I'LL LOOK INTO THAT SOD FARM, AHEM. L.E.'S HEADING DOWN TO MAST GENERAL FOR SOME SUPPLIES.

--KB-23--

DON'T FORGET THE JELLY BABIES.

--L.E.--

ON MY LIST.

--MISS TONKS--

K2'S GOT HER POST FLIGHT MAINTENANCE CHECKS, AND A LITTLE CLEAN UP.

--K-2L5--

YES MA'AM. ON IT.

--MISS TONKS--

KB AND ATMO ARE HEADING OVER TO THE BASS LAKE LOOP TRAIL TO GET A LITTLE FRESH AIR AND WORK OUT THEIR PUFFY HEAD BIRD LEGS.

--KB-23--

I DON'T HAVE LEGS. BUT, I DO HAVE A PUFFY HEAD.

--K-2L5--

THAT'S NOT CAUSED BY SPACE FLIGHT KB. YOU'VE ALWAYS HAD A BIG HEAD. HA!

--MISS TONKS--

WHAT'S THAT EARTH SAYING ABOUT POTS AND KETTLES? HMM...ANYWHO, PROF E, YOU'VE GOT A WAVE LESSON TO PREPARE. SCHOOL STARTS MONDAY.

--PROF E--

ALL RIGHT PARDNERS. YOU HEARD THE LADY. LET'S GET CRACKIN'.
