Repairing the malfunctioning ship's gravity generators was becoming something of a priority.

Vertigo

I told you not to look down. Pull yourself together, stop procrastinating and pass me the grappling hook launcher. We've got a long way to climb before we reach the entrance to the fortress' ventilation ducts.

The Fastest Runner

It wouldn't be long before they found her, and once they did there would be no time for anything but running. "Why am I always the decoy?"
