Keira dropped the wrench she was holding back in the big tool box a few feet from her mech, and jumped off the top with quiet impact. It had been the third time this month she had to reconnect the primary fuel line to the auxillary access and pumping system. But worse things were to come, the reactor breach was wearing down. She'd be spewing radiation like crazy in a few months, and although it wouldn't hurt anyone, she'd light up on sensors as a head source and anyone could pick up on her.<br/><br/>She could bypass this by juicing up her cloaking shield's power so it could maintain its outdoor temperature equalization in order to avoid enemy heat radars or sensors. Basically, the barrier of energy that let her blend with the environment and turn invisible, also harvested the heat from the outside and equaled it. The result was, to the outside wearer, Candice was the same temperature as the surroundings she was in.<br/><br/>The only thing is, more juice means more heat. And even so, the coolant systems in her mech were top notch. She had built most of it herself, albeit with some help. The cherry on top of all this was the fact her coolant mechanisms were functioning 100% normal, and that wasn't likely to change. So all in all, a good fix.<br/><br/>Keira let her hair down from her pony tail and shook it around some. Keira bit her top lip gently as she thought about what she was going to do now. She decided on a shower and then a nap, or maybe a shower, snack, and then a nap. No...it was a snake, shower and then a nap. That made some good sense, or whether it made sense or was just pleasing was what Keira was battling over.<br/><br/>She took the Southern most access lift up to the 2nd floor and common area. She, well, after that little thing that happened with the Captain and the new XO, Candice kind of felt like that lift was bad luck in every sense of the word. Curling her bangs out of her face, Keira stepped into the lift and it shot skyward, arriving at the 2nd floor quickly. She stepped out, and looked around, spotting the doors that led to the break room. She walked forward and peeked in, it was empty. "<strong>Phew...</strong>" Keira giggled, stepping inside and stretching her arms and legs. In a gutys move, Keira unskipped her uniform down to her naval, exposing her cleavage beyond any kind of regulations. She ran a single finger from her naval, straight up between her breasts and to her neck in a playful manner. The suit was a bit warm, not that she was stuffy, but it was more comfortable this way at least.<br/><br/>Keira endulged herself in the refridgerator before picking out a small box of frozen 'Tooth knockers'...basically frozen sugar and chocolate, somehow mixed together in a small cube and passed as a meal. It wasn't that healthy, but Keira was going out on a mini-binge of 'I don't care' for the next 10 minutes. Sitting down at one of the empty tables, she dropped one cube on to her tongue and immediately tasted it. And it was good.
