Blitzer stepped from the hatch and closed the door.

"Krystal?" The pixie hologram looked over from preening her wings. "That was a very long shower, Warrior Toes," she observed. "Long? How long?" Blitzer asked looking back over his shoulder. "Forty-eight minutes, thirteen seconds," she informed him.

"It didn't seem *that* long," muttered Blitzer looking around for this things. "What's our ETA?" he asked. "1 minute, 9 seconds. Approximately," the pixie answered. "Maxie might not be dress in time," the pixie pointed out as he opened his bag and pulled out another caitain tunic and slipped it over his head.

"She'll be fine," said Blitzer with uncertainty in his voice. He quickly sat down at the control panel and accessed the situation. They were coming up fast on their destination. Blitzer slowed the Bajoran shuttle to a quarter impulse. "'ey Kitty... I can't find my---" Maxine began as she stepped from the head; at least mostly clothed.

"We're landing," said Blitzer, "get strapped in!" "Uhhh... roight," the red-headed computer specialist nodded and slipped into the co-pilot's chair, strapping in as instructed. The shuttle glided through the containment field and into the docking area. Blitzer carefully maneuvered the vehicle looking for a place to set it down. He spotted a space next to a very impressive feregni shuttle. It was a tight squeeze but still plenty of room. "Did you 'ide my.... uhh... You know..." she lowered her voice on the last and made a general sort of descriptive motion with her hands. "Your uh..." Blitzer looked over at her as he was rerouting power to landing systems. "No uh, but I think...." Blitzer looked back to see if he could remember where they were. Suddenly there was a loud clang. Blitzer turned around suddenly. "UH!" he said disgusted with himself. Quickly he set the shuttle down. He stood up and looked out the portal on the port deck. There was a big dent on the big black Ferengi shuttlepod. "Oh, that's not good," Maxine said as she looked over his shoulder. "Uhh... M'sorry... I didn't mean t' distract you..." And she was genuinely sorry judging by the look on her face. Blitzer scratched his whiskers, "Its okay, really...just don't tell anyone. But we'd better go see if Burner is here before someone says something," he said as he activated the door. "Mum's the word," she nodded and tugged a little at the hem of her dress, pulling it down just a tad. "Pixie, keep an eye on the ship. Okay?" said Blitzer. "Aye, Aye, Captain Warrior Toes!" Krystal saluted smartly and then ruined the whole effect by giggling. "Mr. Christian! You have the watch!" "Dun't pay any attention to 'er," Maxine told him as they exited the shuttle. "She's been rumaging through the data banks again." Blitzer saluted her back as they stepped through the door. As they walked to the main entrance, Blitzer noticed Max fidgeting with her clothing somewhat. "Did you find your...uhm, your..." "Uhh... no..." she glanced up at him and tugged the hem of her dress again. He smirked, "honestly, I didn't hide it, it must have fallen out when I stowed your bag. When did you see it last?" he added. "Last night... I mean.. when we were napping... when you.... Uhhmm...." she looked up at him and she was starting to blush. "You 'ad 'em last," she accused. Blitzer unsheathed a claw and gently itched his eyebrow, as if that would help him remember. "I..." he pursed his mouth shut. "Let's find Burner," he said. "Uhh... roight," she nodded. "Wingman first, uhhh.... later... I'll look again when we get back," she decided and gave her hem a tug. They walked through the main enterance. The place was huge. Blitzer had no idea where to start. It would take several hours to cover the place.
