Ari winced when she heard a call for her services, she stuffed the remaining orange slices into her mouth.  "Well, that was a quick restin' time. I better go, before she beats the poor thing to it's death."  She gave Isi a polite nod, "Ma'am." She excused herself.<br/><br/>She ran to the cargo bay and saw Sarah Beth, giving the washing machine the look of death.  She also noticed the fresh dent.  "You know Doc, maybe if ya'll wouldn't kick the poor beast, she just might be wantin' to work for ya."  She nudged Sarah Beth away from the front of the machine with the nudge of her hip and a grin.  "Now that one right, that is your shoe."  She pointed to the fresh dent.  "And those...."  There was a cluster of dents that she pointed out, "....now those are Kos's."  She shook her head as she pulled the machine forward.<br/><br/>"Okay, here is the deal...."  Ari was talking to the washer now.  Her accent definitely changed.  "I promise you, as soon as we land, I will make sure the Captain gets you the new parts we need.  You just have to last, a few more days.  At most."  While she was talking she was behind the machine pulling wires, tightening screws, re-attaching hoses.  Still she talked to the thing, "You are a hard working washer, and we appreciate you.  No worries you won't be replaced."<br/><br/>Ari popped up from behind the washer, and moved it back.  She pressed the button and with almost no sparks at all, the machine started right up, "There ya go, Doc.  She's right as rain."<br/><br/><br/>
