Baxter - Benny Grant

Baxter worked aboard Terra Venture.  He was sitting at the Comet Cafe with two of his friends.  Baxter had spotted the job posting for a new mechanic.  All applicants had to make a design that would improve life on Terra Venture.  Damon and Karone had entered the Comet Cafe and Karone thought the position would be perfect for Damon.  Baxter's two friends walked up and told Damon not to bothered, that their boy, Baxter, had the job in the bag.  Baxter waved from where he sat and told Damon not to waste his time.  Karone glared at Baxter and told him and his friends that Damon had a design that would blow everyone away.  The following day, Baxter arrived in his electric car to a building when Decibat attacked.  Baxter began frightened and ran for cover along with everyone else.  The Rangers appeared, but they were unable to defeat Decibat and his sonic blasts.  Later, Baxter sat at the Comet Cafe.  His friends were leaving and told him that they would see him at the celebration.  Baxter did not tell his friends, but he still had not come up with anything and he was frustrated.  As he sat there, he overheard Damon and Karone walking down the hall and talking.  Baxter creep to the doorway and overheard Damon's idea for an Ultra Sonic Transmitter.  Karone thought it was a great idea and so did Baxter.  Baxter waited until late that night and then silently walked up behind Damon.  Damon was sound asleep and his plans were on the drawing table.  Baxter took out his camera and snapped several pictures.  Using the pictures, Baxter created identical drawing plans and submitted them to Commander Stanton the following day.  Commander Stanton gave Baxter the position of Chief Mechanic.  Baxter was standing in the crowd with his friends when Commander Stanton called him over.  Damon and Karone were standing with Commander Stanton as he introduced Baxter as the new Chief Mechanic.  Damon recognized his own plans - posted on a bulletin board.  Karone wanted to tell Commander Stanton the truth, but Damon stomped on her foot to silence her.  Damon congratulated Baxter, telling him he must be real proud of himself.  Baxter squirmed a little after Damon's words.  Later, Baxter started his new job telling employees what to do and where to go.  Baxter, pleased, held the plans and studied them for a moment.  He was startled when he lowered them to find Damon standing there.  Baxter asked him how he had gotten in and Damon told him it wasn't important.  Damon told him that he had never finished the plans, but Baxter refused to listen.  Later, the Ultra Sonic Transmitter was set up outside with Baxter in charge.  Decibat appeared and Commander Stanton ordered Baxter to start the transmitter.  Baxter did so and was amaze when the transmitter worked, but it was only for a short time.  The transmitter began to overload.  Damon ran towards the group, telling them to take cover.  They did so as the transmitter exploded.  Commander Stanton was furious and asked Baxter what went wrong.  Baxter couldn't give him an answer.  Commander Stanton wanted to know as he reminded him that he had designed the transmitter.  Baxter stammered and then started to tell Commander Stanton the truth, when Damon interrupted and told Commander Stanton that Baxter only needed a little more time and that he could help him.  Baxter was surprised by Damon covering for him and his offer of help.  They left to work on the transmitter, Baxter following Damon's instructions.  Decibat appeared again and began using his sonic blast.  Damon fell off the truck the transmitter was on, but told Baxter he could do it.  Baxter struggled to put an protective ear gear on but managed.  Baxter turned on the transmitter and was very happy when it worked and stopped Decibat's sonic blasts.  Commander Stanton walked up very pleased with Baxter.  Baxter told Commander Stanton that Damon had done it, Damon told Commander Stanton that they had done it.  Later, Baxter resigned from the position and went looking for Damon.  Baxter found Damon and Karone and told Damon that he had been looking for him.  Karone was not happy to see him.  Baxter told Damon that he had resigned from the position and made up the excuse that he thought the work would be too much.  He told Damon that he had told Commander Stanton that he would be perfect for the position.  Baxter also apologized to Damon for stealing his plans.  He told him he had wanted the position so much, he didn't care how he got it.  Damon accepted his apologies and then he and Karone left to see Commander Stanton.  Moments later, Baxter walked by the doorway to the Chief Mechanic's office.  Damon pulled him in and told Baxter that he was the perfect man for the job.  Commander Stanton told Baxter that the job was still his if he wanted it and Baxter accepted.
