You do you know if you don't try? If you try and succeed...awesome! If you try and you don't succeed...at least you didn't let fear and doubt dictate your actions...

In the cold vastness of space, the sound of Robin's breathing within the space suit was the only sound she could hear as she slowly crawled along the bottom of the ship. She had already installed three of the gas canisters and was going on a leap of faith that the gas was starting to work. She was confident in front of the crew about her plan, and on paper the theory was solid. However there were many times that there were theories that looked solid on paper, and when they met with reality they fell apart. Robin was hoping this was not one of those times.
She rolled in her gravity harness and began to undo the forth environmental unit. Robin followed the same procedure as the previous three units in removing the plating, but this time something was wrong. This unit had been repaired using make shift parts, and Robin would have to possibly guess at what she was doing. If she was wrong not only would the gas not work, but she would be discovered when the alarm on the unit went off. Robin let out an exhale and said, "Oh crap. Mama said there'd be days like this." Setting the unit up at another point was out of the question. The other points were too close to the bridge, and if the bridge suspected anything was going on outside the ship Robin would be in big trouble. Robin closed her eyes for a few seconds and said, "All right Pearson you always believed that you're the smartest person in the room. Well time to put your money where your mouth is." Robin pulled out a tank and studied the inside of the unit and then nodded. She said, "Oh I see what you did. Pretty clever, but the problem is I'm smarter than you." With that, Robin reached into the unit and carefully slid the tank in place. She didn't turn the tank open as wide as the other three tanks, because with the make shift parts in place there was no telling how sensitive the sensors were. Robin felt it best to err on the side of caution. She waited for a couple of seconds and saw no indicator lights flashing. Robin let out a long exhale and said, "And score another one for science..." she shrugged her shoulders and said, "and a little bit of luck too." Robin felt pretty good about how things were going with four tanks in place. With over half of the tanks in place the crew should be feeling the effects by now was her gut feeling. Robin replaced the plating on the unit and was beginning her slow crawl once again.
She noticed that her battery unit was starting to get a little lower than she was comfortable with. Between the gravity harness, keeping the life support unit running, and a portable teleporter unit Robin knew that battery power would be an issue eventually. She had been hoping to finish her work quicker than she was going, but Robin didn't take fully into account the size of the ship compared to her. If she had she would've brought a spare battery. In her commando days this would've been done by three people, but her doing this alone definitely was taking longer than it normally would've. She silently cursed herself for not thinking this part of her plan through.
Robin had an idea to conserve battery power. She would only use the harness when necessary, and hope and pray that she didn't miscalculate and float into space. Robin said, "Okay let's hope this works." Robin deactivated the gravity harness and grabbed onto a metal opening. She held onto it with every ounce of strength she had as she closed her eyes and said, "If this doesn't work, it wasn't a bad life." Robin opened her eyes and let go of the opening and shoved forward. As she began to move forward Robin noticed she was drifting away from the ship. She quickly activated the gravity bolt which brought her right back to the ship. Robin looked around held onto the bolt and saw she was almost halfway to her next unit. She felt semi-relieved as she said, "Two more times like that and I should be close enough to turn the harness back on." She did her gravity bolt idea two more times and then quickly reactivated her gravity harness when she was within arms length of the unit. Robin took care of the unit and did her gravity bolt trick once again. After four moves she was at the last unit. Robin took care of her business and quickly teleported back to the shuttle.
Once she was on the shuttle Robin got out of her space suit. She looked around and asked, "Any calls while I was out?"

Post by this time tomorrow.
@MST3K 4ever I am not sure but wasnt Moray the passenger transport and not the big pirate ship?
Fixed
The Prize
The elevator stopped after a less than ten second trip to the lab. When she arrived at her lab, she saw Daniels had the canisters and her supplies already in place. Robin gave a nod and said to the lab's computer she named "Baby", "Okay Baby, Time to get to work." Baby replied, "Acknowledged Dr. Pearson." Robin quickly became a whirlwind of activity. Flicking switches on one console and pushing buttons on another. While yelling various commands at Baby, "Increase the Argo output by 25% decrease the proto-matter matrix by 20%" or "Give me a protein synthetic of Lyncome and Santor over a Nuclonic cell base." Robin told Nick all she needed was 20 minutes. She looked at her watch and saw that only 14 minutes had passed. Robin placed the cylinders in a room, hooked them up to a processing unit, and said to Baby, "Fill 'em up Baby and then process the antidote pills, Make sure no one leaves the ship without taking one. Otherwise, if they start hallucinating or getting punch drunk it's their fault. I'll be back in 5."
Robin bolted down to the supply bay. She grabbed a space suit and helmet, a bag for the cylinders, a gravity harness, a set of tools, a gravity bolt, and a gravity pouch. Robin felt something in her stomach as she took a deep breath. Without saying a word she went to her quarters. Robin laid everything on her bed and opened her closet. She pulled out her old commando uniform and stared at it for a few seconds. The last time she wore it twelve of her teammates were killed, and Robin kept it as a reminder that nothing in life is a given. The fact she nearly died was irrelevant to Robin but the sting of losing her team was more painful than anything else. In this case though, Robin felt she might gain a small measure of revenge against the pirates. As if the uniform were a person she said, "Don't make me regret this." Robin stripped out of her Prize uniform and put on her commando uniform. She looked at herself in a mirror and said, "It still fits." Robin knelt down and said a silent prayer. When she was done she crossed herself and said, "This one is for you my comrades." Robin then slipped her old service weapon in a holster and patted the weapon twice.
Robin put on the spacesuit and grabbed the rest of her gear as she left her room. She went to the lab and Baby said, "Your cylinders are ready Dr. Pearson and the antidote pills have been distributed.' Robin put the cylinders in her bag and replied, "Thank you Baby wish us luck." Baby said, "Good luck, and until we meet again Dr. Pearson be safe." Robin made her way to the shuttle bay and boarded the shuttle with the rest of her team.

Under The Pirate ship
Once the shuttle was positioned under the ship the pilot said, "We're in place and all indications are we haven't been discovered."
Robin looked out from the cockpit and replied, "Trust me Lieutenant if we were discovered we would already be dead." Robin looked over to the Lieutenant and said, "Keep your comm open, if you hear me say the word 'apples', get this shuttle back to the Prize on the double. Tell them to take off, and get to the nearest outpost. Then alert ISA Command that the mission failed. If we lose the Pirates will have a boarding party ready to try and take the Prize in less than five minutes. Pirates with a ship like the Prize under their command." Shaking her head Robin said, "The damage they could cause with the Prize would be unimaginable. That can't happen Lieutenant under any circumstance. That is a direct order. Understood?"
The Lieutenant replied, "Understood ma'am."
Robin walked towards the back of the shuttle and grabbed her gear. She put on the helmet and said to the gathered crew, "Good luck one and all." Robin said to the Lieutenant, "Activate teleporter."
Within the blink of an eye, Robin found herself floating in space. She activated the gravity harness and she was pulled towards the underside of the ship. Robin looked around at the massive ship around her and felt so small as she said, "This looked a lot smaller on the display." She then began to crawl towards the first environmental unit. Once there Robin rotated within the harness so she wasn't working upside down. Robin pulled out a screwdriver and took out the bolts from the panel. She put them in the gravity pouch and secured it to the ship, and then removed the panel from the unit. Using the gravity bolt she secured the panel to the ship and said, "Can't have anyone by chance seeing you float away." Robin reached in her bag and pulled out a cylinder. Quickly she spliced the cylinder into the ship's oxygen intake unit. Hearing no alarms or seeing any lights flashing made Robin breath a bit easier. She said, "They'll know in a minute that it worked when the crew starts acting a bit punch drunk and maybe even sees some mild hallucinations."
Robin put the panel back in place and moved onto the next one.

Yeah. Unless you wanna bring in some NPC Redshirts. A generic pilot or security guard, maybe?
<Snipped quote by MST3K 4ever>
Mmm... that's a tough one. After Carabello and Korax, I imagine that the third in command would probably be Gue'rach, due to his experience, age and administrative background.
But if you need her to give orders, just have her be in charge of Alpha Team. In that group, she's the most experienced and even the most educated.
Fair enough. I will have a generic pilot for my post purposes.
A couple of things I would like to knowbefore I post...for clarification purposes.
1) It's just Rod, the Doc and I in Alpha?
2) Is it ok if I refer to Robin as 3rd in command? It's for posting purposes only. She would be like "Scotty" on "Star Trek" not looking to take command, but if pushed into service she will.
Basically Robin will be giving an order to Alpha shuttle for when she is crawling under the ship.

I'll have a post up sometime tomorrow.
I have an idea on my next post, but I want to give a couple of other people at least the opportunity to post.
@Jeyma YAS! Yes, I'm here for the comic relief. But I will be respectful of your forum and mostly listen to you if you want to rein me in.
I like Rod...he is the perfect jackass.
