<em>"GRAAAAAAAAH!"</em><br/><br/>I could not see her yet, but sure could hear her.  I can't help to smile as I think about Elke.  She has such a passion for her work, doesn't she?  As I duck under a pipe, a loud whistling sound terminates with a loud crash into the pipe above me.  What the hell..?  It was at this time that I felt I should stand up, so I tried.  The resulting collision sent stars of various colors across my vision as I nearly dropped Elke's food.<br/><br/><em>"Oh... that's just shiny... sorry, Adam! Hehe!"</em><br/><br/>"You know, if you weren't so damned cute, I would not bother to bring you breakfast."  I make a face at her and laugh at my own joke.  As I look around me, I see that ominous green gas again.  It had been doing that a while.  Pointing, I ask her "I thought you were going to fix that?"<br/><br/>I wink at her quickly so she knows I am teasing and hand her a plate of eggs and toast.  "I thought you might like a bite to eat.  How are they holding up?"  I place my hand on one of the engine housings and feel the steady vibration.<br/><br/>Elke had to be the closest thing to family he had on this ship.  Her mannerisms and ability to let you know exactly how she felt was a relief sometimes.  The only problem, you had to watch out for flying tools.
