Her oil-stained fingers grasped the homespun material and brought it to her tan-toned skin, keeping her chocolate and honey colored eyes closed while she wiped the liquid away. It has splashed slightly on the loose off-white linen shirt she wore tucked into a pair of form-fitting dark leather pants, but not enough to be concerning.<br/><br/>Captain blaring his old-school jams had cut the nap she had tried to grab woefully short, so getting cleaned up before her shift has become priority. Her shoulder-length thick dark hair was already pulled high and tight into a ponytail, where it would likely stay until action and chaos made it fall. Rehanging the towel, Jules tucked the sink back into its drawer hidey-hole and turned back to her bunk, dragging her boots out from beneath its recesses.<br/><br/>She was in the process of stuffing one foot in when the sound of the ship’s engine changing her low-droning tune caught her attention.<br/><br/>She double-timed it into her boots and practically flew out of her bunk towards the hallway that would lead to Ellie’s engine room. Walter’s voice hit her ears just as her boots hit the metal gangplank grate.

Her pale pink lips flashed a smile as she shoved away from the ship and hurried back to the engine room. Slapping the door open, its hiss was reassuring as she barely waited for it to clear before hustling inside. The com was the next thing to feel the heel of her hand as she connected with the cockpit and immediately began running diagnostics on the engine.<br/><br/>“<em>Wǒ de mā</em>, Walter!! You’ll burn up our convertors you push ol’ Ellie that hard again!!” She called out, her gaze quickly scanning the computers readouts.<br/>
