Chloe had been knocked unconscious and was hurt, still clutching the damaged reflective dish.
Her passengers also unconscious but unhurt, slowly began to regain consciousness one by one. After an hour or so, all of the Rangers were conscious.
Adam discovered, hidden in a storage locker, several space suits.
Aisha was concerned about Chloe's vital signs, which were very low - compared to the readings she had taken earlier in their mission.
They soon discovered what appeared to be blood coming from one of her wings.
Rocky was able to manually release the heavy broken dish from her talons.
"Ok, Tommy . . . try it now!"
"Right!"
Tommy hit a button on his control panel, hoping that Billy had managed to restart the computer system. A combined "Yes" was heard when the lights and their control panels came back on.
Billy breathed a sigh of relief, {One problem fixed, two more to go.}
Soon after, Aisha confirmed that Chloe's right wing was broken.
"How do you repair a Living Vessel?"
"I wish I knew, Adam!"
"Can the wing be folded back into its' natural position?" Rocky asked.
Bringing up the diagram of the wing, Aisha thankfully determined that the break in the wing was nowhere near a joint.
While Adam and Rocky donned the space suits, Aisha continued to search for materials they could use to repair and/or stabilize the injured Living Vessel.
After entering the space lock, Adam and Rocky prepared for their first walk in space.
Both stood in awe as the doors opened. Neither could have imagined the view, bright stars against a black velvet background.
One more thing caught their attention, the stillness! Nothing moved, no sounds could be heard, nothing just stillness.
After securing their safety lines to the ship, they ventured outside.
"Incredible!"
"That's for sure, Rocky!"
"Guys, I'm going to open another door near you. The stuff needed to secure Chloe's wing will be inside the compartment.
"OK, Aisha!" Adam said as he moved toward the opening door.
Rocky made his way slowly to the injured wing, with Adam following behind carefully holding on to the package of materials.
As Rocky examined the area where the blood was coming from, he discovered that the bleeding and the break in the wing were very close together. So by applying pressure and bandages to the area, he hoped that the bleeding would stop.
With the bleeding under control, they slowly began to fold the wing into it's natural position.
After making a full wing bandage and securing it, both returned to the safety of the ship.
Not completely knowing a "Living Vessels" normal vital signs made Aisha even more concerned.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Tommy activated the sensors, and to his surprise there was something coming toward them. "Billy, do we have any weapons?"
"I'm working on them now . . . Why?"
He got his answer when the sensors revealed the oncoming vessel.
"Crap!"
The life of a Living Vessel wasn't an easy one. If injured, a Living Vessel would die a slow and painful death, alone! But injured and carrying passengers held it's own dangers, if all were unconscious they could drift into uncharted territory and be lost forever!
He had to find them, he told himself.
"Tygar, this is Rocky . . . do you read?"
The powerful Fire Dragon slowed his approach as he scanned the vast darkness of space for the familiar voice.
"I hear you, keep talking!"
"Chloe's hurt and still unconscious!"
As he rounded a small asteroid, Tygar caught sight of the injured Phoenix.
"Chloe . . . can you hear me?" Tygar telepathically said to his unconscious friend.
"Her right wing is broken, but she won't wake up!"
"We must get her back to her home." Tygar stated as he gently grasped her, and holding her close to his own body sped off in the direction of Earth.
As Falcon 1 prepared to launch, a voice from far out in space answered the prayers of a planet. "This is Tygar, I found them!"
The Power Rangers have been found!
Veterinarians from Angel Grove and Stone Canyon came to assist, and a make-shift animal hospital was set up so that x-rays could be taken.
The x-rays revealed a mild concussion, but why was she still unconscious!
"Why are you so concerned about her being asleep?"
Dr. Campbell approached carefully, "She's been unconscious far too long! She needs to wake up."
"She's just asleep!" Tygar said jokingly, as he poked the one spot on the Phoenix that would surely wake her up! Tygar added, "When Living Vessels get injuried they sleep in an effort to speed recovery, if possible!"
Aisha now understood why he had referred to her as being asleep.
"Hey!" The sleepy bird yelled!"Wake up!" The grumpy Fire Dragon yelled back!
Not realizing that her wing was broken, Chloe tried to take-off. "Ouuuu . . .!" Pain ripped through her body, and she looked down at her injured wing only to discover it was covered in a rather large bandage.
"Your wing is broken, it's been set in the natural position so that it will heal."
Chloe looked down at the group of doctors standing near her feet. "How badly?"
"It was a clean break, so it should heal perfectly within four to six weeks!" Dr. Campbell said.
"It shouldn't take more then ten days for my wing to heal." The old soul softly said to the group of doctors. "Living Vessels heal very fast!"
"You did loose a great deal of blood, so you maybe weak for awhile."
"Blood!" Chloe looked puzzled as she glared down at the people near her feet. "What's blood?"
"That red stuff on the bandage!" Tygar mumbled rather loudly.
Chloe looked down at her wing again, and promptly stated . . . "The red stuff on the bandage is hydraulic fluid used to keep my many mechanical components running. There is a enormous supply of this fluid at Hollsworth Manor."
"Please somebody help us!"
"What's that?" Rocky anxiously asked.
"Please somebody help us!"
"Alpha, can you locate that signal?" Zordon asked with concern evident in his voice.
"I'm trying to Zordon."
With every passing minute, the voice became more and more desperate.
After what felt like an eternity, Alpha announced that he had located the distress signal.
"Can we answer them?" Rocky inquired.
"Please, can anyone hear us . . . we need help . . . please!" "That voice sounds almost like a childs!" Rocky stated. "I'll get the other Rangers!""Please somebody help us!" The faint, frightened voice repeated. "Emergency Services are badly needed!"
