[b]Emergency "Landing"[/b]
The sky above the Dojo rippled for a moment, before a small ship slid into existance above the Dojo. Smoke was pouring out of all the thrusters, and one of the wings had fire blazing along it. Anyone who bothered to look would see that the pilot was frantically pressing buttons, trying to hold the craft together.
"Mayday, Mayday, Mayday! This is LTT Tankbred requesting immediate permission to land! I can't hold her together much longer."
While the small ship clearly wanted to slam into the ground, it flew in a holding pattern over the spaceport.

As the ship circled the spaceport, it's condition slowly began to deteriorate. Most noteably, stabilization flaps on the tail and wings ripped off, slamming into the ground violently. "Damn! Auxiliary stabilizers ripped, hope you don't plan on shooting me down!"
-
"This Is the dojo. Just fúcking land!"
-
The ship immediately pushes into a dive, making a shaky, but safe landing. It slides across the ground for a moment before grinding to a halt. Fire extinguishers immediately engage, spraying the wings and engines with foam that rapidly expands. The pilot, climbing out in full armor, shoos off any crowd that might gather around the ship. Climbing on the top, he kicks one of the thrusters, which comically sputters for a moment. "Piece of junk engine! Takes me sixty damned missions to afford repairs for this! Sixty! Damned! Missions! This was supposed to take an hour!" Hopping down, the pilot walks over to one of the stabilizers, dragging it back to the ship. He would continue to do this unless stopped.

[b]The gates creaked open, and a a Spartan ran out of them, yelling towards the crashed ship[/b] "What the hell are you doing?"
-
The pilot stops draging a stabilzer over, glaring under his helmet. "I'm trying to fix my ship, here." He goes back to pulling the stabilzer.
-
"It's gonna blow! I mean look at it! It's on fire!"
-
The pilot looks at the flaming engine, frowning. Shrugging, he keeps on moving. "It's been worse. Do you have anywhere to put it?"
-
"We could put it in the hanger of course."
