3. The Moon - Mare Imbrum

[Renekin Skywalker]

(Mensk)
The engine showed it was pushing out more force. The readouts show that the PSI was up. However, it was pushing the engine near its peak. Mensk had better keep an eye out to make sure the engine doesn't burn out.

(Foreman)
The ship's accelerologer showed it was starting to gain speed again, from the output in the unaffected engine. However, it means that he has to spend more time working the slingshot to his advantage.

Tawfeek, meanwhile, had switched out to the radio, and seemed to be in contact with the moon.

(McKenna)
Was... umm... running a final checklist before she responded to Tawfeek's last order to her.

(Jessica)
Well... she's high. Pot high, thankfully, so she won't have a relapse next time she gets her spine adjusted like with aicd. Unfortunately, her attempts to shut the engine down weren't working for some reason.

[OOC: considering the last order MJ was gien was "Call me if someone's dieing", she's following it quite well.]

McKenna was finally satisfied the medlab was sufficient, if a little boring. she turned on her computer and perused the files until she found some audio files ( roll comp operations 27: pass) and brought them up. She set the volume just loud enough to be background music before looking for files on the hydroponics bay. ( roll comp op again: 82: fail)

[Renekin Skywalker]

(OOC: You just had to read up on it, eh?... alright)

After getting off the radio, Tawfeek goes back to the general ship's communicator. "McKenna, I need you to check the port engine, there looks like there some kind of smoke or air quality problem. Move."

[Mierin]

Jessica giggles as she struggles to shut down the engine, often falling down and having to get up again as her coughing worsens.

" I'll head that way now, Captain." MJ replied, grabbing her medical bag as she headed out the door and towards engineering at a good pace.

[Renekin Skywalker]

(Jessica)
Eventually, Jessica realized that the button she was pressing was to activate the lights on the lower level of the engine's housing and not to kill the engine.

Hitting the proper kill switch, finally, the engine shut down with the whine dieing.

Incidentally, the lightning that was flashing in the engine room seems to have stopped.

(McKenna)
She could smell the potsmoke pretty quickly by the time she made her way there. She came across Deviss chuckling to himself about how the bolts in the wall were like living cells, man! Living cells in a ship, man!

[dakota]

Sniffing the air, McKenna pulled her collar up over her nose. she saw Deviss ahead and called to him," What happened, someone torch the captain's stash? Get out of here and get some air before you get any more stoned." She bellowed. " Who else is down here?"

[Mierin]

McKenna can hear giggling as Jessica yells back "No one!" Jessica continues giggling as she realizes she's managed to turn off the engines.

[dakota]

" Jessica? You've got to get out of there." McKenna shouted back, " This smoke is too much. The last thing you want is to be overcome. Come on."

[Mierin]

Jessica continues laughing as she yells back "Jessica's not here, man!" For some reason, this strikes her as hilarious and she laughs even louder, falling to the ground holding her stomach.

[Renekin Skywalker]

(OOC: I knew this was a good idea...)

(On the bridge)
Foreman can feel the ship's trajectory changing as the other engine finally dies, leaving Mensk's the only one running.

Tawfeek looks out the window, tapping the comm. "Someone tell me what's going on in there."

(McKenna/Jessica)
Deviss bursts out laughing at Jessica. "Man! She's not there!" He pauses, looking at his hands. "How am I supposed to fing with this fingers?" (He pronounced the "g" silent, like "winger")

[dakota]

McKenna had to stifle a giggle of her own as the smoke was passing through her shirt. She was starting to feel a little lightheaded too, when she remembered what always happened in the past when she'd been around smoke and stated aloud," come on, you two, and I'll find us some munchies."

She keyed the comm system, " We've got a bit of a problem down here, but nothing I can broadcast over the comm at the moment."

(Bridge/Foreman)
Update: what are you doing?

(Other engine/Mensk)
Update: what are you doing?

(Other other engine/Jessica/McKenna)
Indeed, McKenna's high as a kite (to be able to focus on this, roll: save vs poison, and any medical skills to identify what to do). For some reason, using the comm must have shorted the lights, because when she pressed the button to talk to Tawfeek, everything went dark.

"Dude, you broke the light, man! Munchies! Oh, let's go to the galley." Deviss says, his older engineer's body shifting off the ground. "Which level are we on?"

(Back on the bridge)
"Come on, Foreman, bring it out of the slingshot right." Tawfeek says. "I need to get to Moon base as soon as possible so I can vent the engines."

[Dome]

Foreman, who has been flying the ship this whole time continues to guide the ship and direct it out of slingshot.

" Uh, this one." McKenna giggled. " Oh man, my frickin' head... I'm so wasted." she tried to find the comm button again. " haven't been like this since school." She giggled as she tried to find the button again. in the process, her hand slipped off the console, causing her to crash to the floor. She lay there in the dark giggling even harder as a " Help" escaped her.
