Kara was a little far away to hear anyone in the cargo bay.  She was busy tinkering in the engine room.  She had her eyes covered with her goggles.  She explores the room, looking in nooks and crannies.  She finds a place nearby to stash her tools and begins poking and proding the engine.  It was a lot older than the ones she had been working on for the Unified Reclamation but the principal was the same and she had studied it as well to catch up with the times.
