3. The Moon - Mare Imbrum

[Renekin Skywalker]

(Jessica/McKenna)
As they're sitting in the dark, they hear a series of clicks and hisses. Then a red light flasses. There's a speaking blaring something about contaminants in the air and that their area has been sealed off from the ship.

(Bridge)
Tawfeek was rubbing his face as the screen flashed in front of him. He picked up the comm. "Someone in that engine speak to me." He said, leaving it open.

A couple of warning lights were flashing, but because the ship was responding to the slingshot, they must not have been important warning lights.

(Back in With Jessica and McKenna... In the Port engine?)
"Someone in that engine speak to me." Tawfeek said, from nowhere.

(Mensk, starboard engine, hopefully I'm not switching too much.)
The engine seemed to be getting upset with the situation. What to do!

[dakota]

" Uh oh." McKenna stopped gigling long enough to say. " I think were stuck in here." Using the red light to see, she pulled herself back up to look at the panel ( comp op 96/ 57 fail even without penalties) She pressed the button she thought was the comm controls. " Jess, which button answers him ? I can't remember."

[Renekin Skywalker]

With the comms open (a magical button Tawfeek hit, like a ship-wide speakerphone), everyone in the ship heard McKenna's answer. "The environmental seals kicked in, because we cannot vent the air, yet. Is everyone alright? What the hell's going on?" Tawfeek answered, on the comm.

[kurff]

He looked at he engine and frowned.."Come on..Be nice.."

"Okay if I Regulate the power so I get the same speed but with less effort...No It still draws power." he thought.

"I have it. It takes less power to a maintain! I'll have you step up power as opposed to just go full bore." he stood up and typed a different power flow configuration. One that instead of a constant draw fed as it needed instead of full bore.

he also set up the the engines venting to help forward thrust if he could. He'd have to redirect it but it was better than death...

"Lets see if i can't 'remotely' shut the power being fed into other engine via central power net and have thruster help compensate for engine loss."

Giggling, McKenna turned towards where she thought Jessica was," you can tell him his stash burned up. He likes you."

[Renekin Skywalker]

(Smokey, the Port Engine room)

"You burned my stash?" Deviss says, pushing a door like it should open. "I paid good money for that. And poof! Now, it's all up in smoke..."

(Starboard Engine)
Mensk's hard work paid off, distributing the engine load. As he worked, he noticed the emergency kill switch was used on the Port Engine. In order to get it up again, he would have to enter the room and restart from cold.

(Bridge)
Foreman noticed the ship responding better as the moon rose over the planet. (Yay mensk!)

Tawfeek's eyes were fixed on the moon, as if willing it to come closer.

[dakota]

" It's not my fault" McKenna said defensively. " Should have found a better hiding spot."

[Mierin]

Jessica giggles as she tells the captains voice "I'm feeling great, Captain! I got the engine turned off! Are we there yet??" She collapses in a fresh burst of laughter, holding her stomach.

[kurff]

"Mengsk here, I'm heading to the bridge." he looked at the grid readings a second.

"Need to see what happened the other engine from the engineering station up there. Mengsk out." then grabbed breather kit. and went to the bridge.

[dakota]

McKenna couldn't help it as Jess answered the captain. First she snickered, then giggled, then fell into full blown laughter.

[Dome]

"What the hell happened down there? Sounds like they are all high as kites."

[Renekin Skywalker]

(On the bridge)
"Yes, it does." Tawfeek says, sounding none too pleased. "Mensk, come on up. If we can restart the engine from here, then we can salvage this schedule."

After all this comming, Tawfeek gets up and heads for the door. "Foreman, keep us in the air."

(In the Startboard engine)
"Mensk, come on up. If we can restart the engine from here, then we can salvage this schedule."

(In the port Engine)
Tawfeek seemed to have gone quiet.

After a moment, a door opened, and a large armour-suited man appeared, his face not visible through the faceplate. In short order, the man grabbed Deviss and hauled him out. Then, in turns, Jessican and McKenna found themselves in one of the crew cabins, together. Deviss wasn't with them. In the light, they could see Tawfeek take off the helmet.

As he heads to the door. "I bet you can't count to 100 without having to pause or restart." He says, challenginly. "Prove me wrong, and you can have full run of the galley." Then he leaves the two women alone.

[dakota]

McKenna looks at Jessica, then swallows as she turned to Tawfeek. " 1.., 2..., 100. There," she started giggling again, " no problem, captain." through her laughter, she added, " Can we at least have something to snack on to kill the growlies?"

[Renekin Skywalker]

(Jessica and McKenna)
"I need to make sure you're sober enough to use the galley." Tawfeek answers. "If you're really desperate, I'll bring something in a couple of minutes. Then we'll go to the med room and make sure you won't die."

[kurff]

Arriving in with a breather and in his rad suit environment suit he took the engineering station.

"let see bout the engine...withe the new power flow it shouldn't overload as easily, and those thruster mods I can get you slightly better performance." he began his work.
