[ Extra metahumans, as secondary and tertiary sets of pilots and maintenance crew, are strapped in securely in the robots chest. Not that it's very reassuring when the metallic scraping and screeching of the robot's parts dragging against each other when the space between them is compressed.
But it matters, when the gravity changes with the speed of being thrown and falling causing Tim and the others to strain against the belts holding them in place. Tim's head clonks back and forth between the pads on either side of his neck when the impact comes.
And then... stillness. The crew doesn't move for a few seconds, everyone performing their own internal system check. Tim judges the bizarre angle from where he's strapped to the floor and unbuckles, falling out of his seat landing at 45 degree angle with one foot on the "floor" and one of the opposing wall. A quick 'everyone okay?' gets the right number of yeses and affirmative grunts.
The pilots! Tim runs for the route to the neck, chosing the tube with the ladder inside rather than the left (seems a bit risky given the non-upright position of the robot). When he nears the "top" of the tunnel, he calls out. ]
Hey, team! Everything okay up here?
[ He has to climb out of the tunnel - the head must be pushed far back or forward in relation to the chest and neck. Tim's red-and-black suit shines under the emergency lighting, and through the lightly-tinted visor of his helmet, his domino mask is just visible. ]

The robot's a little... lazy right now.
