Vert-Ical Tran-sl8r

Vert-Ical Tran-sl8r is the 18th episode of Assertive Acquisitions. Splitsie, Capac, and TFE hunt for hydrogen, they add a cool elevator to the Agitation Station moonbase, and they build swappable modules for Capac's Tug'o'War ship. 
==Synopsis==
They try out Splitsie's new elevator and improvements to the hangar, including an animated cockpit mod. Capac is building the factory's interior. They plan to improve their fuel situation in smarter ways than hauling tonnes of ice for hydrogen power everyday. 
In the main part of the episode, they hunt cargo ships transporting hydrogen. After a long fight, they capture a passing Quasimodo hydrogen tanker and manage to bring it back to the moonbase. While Splitsie is looting the cargo ship's lockers of its plushies, TFE first mentions his idea of starting a library of datapads. 
Back at the moonbase, Splitsie is happy that TFE uses the new elevator as Capac hints at a prank. Splitsie hurries over and sees that the elevator door on the top floor has been "graffitied". It is now labeled vertical translator:

Splitsie sighs. The ground floor is now labelled ELEVA⊥OR. The upper basement floor is labelled LIFT, and the bottom basement (the mining ship hangar) is helpfully labelled GO UP ROOM. Splitsie groans. 
TFE needs to go mining but cannot find the button to open the hangar doors. Splitsie sighsEditor Splitsie has added a text caption on screen that TFE is Capac with a Splitsie sense of direction. 
While building a detachable jump drive module, TFE notices that the elevator now plays muzak. Splitsie builds an ore-detector moduleThey plan to use the modded ore detector from the Radio Spectrometry mod to scan asteroids from a distance. - it looks like a four-legged spider that bites Capac. As last piece of the team effort, Capac builds a crane to lift the two modules onto his Tug'o'War ship. 
==Quotes==
(TFE is flying the mining ship upside down for fun, watching the stone being ejected.) - Splitsie: There is no reason for you to be upside down! You're losing all your lifting thrust! - Capac: Why are you trying to crush all his dreams? - Splitsie: Why is he trying to crush all my ships?! - Capac: Dreams are better than ships. 
Capac: Just remember, the enemy's gate is down. (15:18)A successful zero-g attack strategy from the book Ender's Game.
Capac (defending his door labelling): Hey, you don't want people mistaking the elevator for a bathroom, do you. - Splitsie: That was way too specific to have not been a thing you've done... (40:51)
