Miracle gathered as much as she could carry of the gel packs and worked her way through the toppled crates of the gel towards the broken open vent into the cargo bay.

She slipped out into the maintenance passage way and scampered back the way she came "Rat Mac Squeak slips out into the deserted passageway armed with the deadly balloons of substance."

She scampered through the maintenance tubes, feeling quite excited as her first forays out into a new ship and finding a crate of already filled water balloons. She stopped at one of the many replicators located throughout the ship and made herself a bag to carry the few gel pack she managed to abscond with.

"Rat Mac Squeak camouflages the balloon in something simple to fool the giants that wander the corridors in varied colored uniforms." Miracle muttered as she scampered through the ship.

Another kid? She spotted another boy about her age. Her hand shot into the bag and pulled out a gel pack. "Squeak!" As she threw the gel pack at him.

At the sound of the squeak, the boy turned, facing her to be hit in the chest with the gel pack. Reflexes took over and caught the gel pack as it drop. "I'll get you!" And the chase was on.

He threw the gel pack and hit her in the back. She spun and fired another gel pack at him. Spinning completely around after the throw, she took off. "Rat Mac Squeak tried to lay waste to a traitor, but failed and now is being chased." She muttered as she raced down the corridor with the boy giving chase after rearming himself with the gel pack he had thrown at her, forgetting the one she threw at him and missed.

He finally caught up her after losing the gel pack he had. "Hey! Wait up!" A bit breathless. "I'm Danny. Whose you?" Looking at her a bit flushed from the run.

"Iz Rat Mac Squeak!" Miracle responded with a smile. "Actually I'm Miracle. Micky for short."

"Whose Rat Mac Squeak?" Danny asked curiously. "Some ...uh..." He floundered as not to insult her species cause this was a future friend after leaving his friends behind when his parents been assigned to the ship.

"Mousian. Iz Mousian." Miracle smiled. "Rat Mac Squeak is the bestest adventurer in the universe."

"No way! Superman is." Danny came back to defend his hero. "I'll show you."

"Squay!" Miracle nodded walked along side him, explaining who Rat Mac Squeak was based of James Bond and various other famous adventurers. "Iz just need a sidekick for mez adventures. Besides Iz found a source of these balloons."

Danny looked in awe at the bag of gel packs she carried. He looked at the 4 gel pack left in the bag. "Cool. Can I get some?"

"Yooz need a bag to carry them in. It would be bad if the Giants see them." Waving a hand a few Adults in uniform passing by them.

Danny's eyes lit up as this was a secret between them, his new friend, Micky. "Okay!" He exclaimed as they paused at a replicator and gotten a bag to carry his balloons in.

Miracle gave him two of her 'balloon' and watched him put them in his bag.
