"I'm picking up something hot. You girls ready with the harpoon?"
Penny and (y/n) tucked the harpoon into place while Judy radioed back. "Ready."
Maureen steered the spaceship towards the direction of the heat signature and as they got closer, Will spotted something from the window. "I see them!"
Maureen laughed. "Hey. Nice hydrazine fire you got there."
"Hey!" John yelled in excitement. "I knew you'd find us."
"It was a group effort. Say hi to the group."
"Hi there." John said, even giving the ship a little wave.
Penny, (y/n) and Judy looked at each other when they heard his voice.
"Dad?"
"John?"
"Dad."
"Hey dad."
"Dad, hi dad!"
"You're not allowed to do that to us again, okay?" Penny warned the man.
"I knew you'd be fine." Will bragged.
"Um, hey everybody."
"Don!" (y/n) exclaimed.
"Are you-were you crying?" Judy questioned the man, laughing a little.
"No. Maybe, I mean-"
"Tears of joy. So what happened."
Maureen groaned. "Where to begin. Let's just get you out of the cold." Clicking a few things, she directed the harpoon towards the direction of the broken Jupiter.
"We close enough?"
"Almost in range."
Target in range in 30 seconds
"Listen." Maureen's face dropped. "When did the pounding stop?"
Target in range in 20 seconds
"Come on, come on."
Eight, seven, six...
Maureen fired the Harpoon.
Target out of range
"We gotta run."
The harpoon shot didn't make it.
"It doesn't reach."
"Hey Maureen. Maureen!"
Back at the Jupiter, Smith started to rant as she entered the control room. "You stabbed me in the back, Maureen. Our fuel's gone. The Resolute's gone. I'm stuck here drifting nowhere till I die."
