				<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/mN1v5Du.jpg)</div><strong>Zachary Ellis</strong><br><strong>Location:</strong>&nbsp; Engine Room<br><strong>Tagging:</strong>&nbsp; Any<br><hr><br>(Continued from here (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=167925.msg7873249#msg7873249))<br><br>The Engine Room itself was already considerably hotter than the rest of the ship.&nbsp; Some parts let off a slight steam, while the more extreme elements contributing to the overall temperature increase were glowing a faint red.&nbsp; The heat was spreading into the other Engineering sections, particularly the parts storage and nearest cargo compartments.&nbsp; The engineer trying to fix it all was a dirty, sweaty mess.&nbsp; Straw-blonde hair was matted to his forehead while the thick braid kept the rest of it from getting in his way while he worked.&nbsp; His shirt was long since removed and had been tied around a coolant feed line that had started leaking slightly.&nbsp; For now he was investigating the electrical systems to see if something had fried itself.<br><br>He'd long since removed a number of wall panels since their acquisition of the Aurora.&nbsp; It was just easier for him to fix things if he could see them.&nbsp; Trying to pretty up the inner workings of the ship by hiding them just seemed to be a waste of time when he needed to peer through them to get things working again.&nbsp; With his left hand holding him steady from an overhead power conduit and his feet propped up on a portion of the secondary sublight generator (which was clearly labeled "NO STEP") he poked a pair of probes extended from his index and middle finger through the electrical test points to see if he could isolate the cause of their distress.<br><br>"Hm hm hm, nope...nope...&nbsp; Maybe if I just asked Zoe what was wrong she could tell me...&nbsp; Nah, that seems too much like cheating.&nbsp; One o' these days I'll just take the whole thing apart and put it back together again.&nbsp; That'll show it who's boss.&nbsp; One day, engine, you will learn to fear the wrath of Zac!" he threatened as he continued tracing out continuity through the circuitry.

She'd apparently been just standing there listening to Zac chat with himself. She did that sometimes. She was also, apparently, wearing an entirely new outfit. She did that too. The alien seemed to have more outfits than a fashion model. At least she looked good in them. This one was what she'd at one point dubbed her 'Science Outfit'. Tight black material encased most of her body, the sleek suit trimmed with glowing blue lines along her limbs and up her front. It had bulky shoulder and arm guards in white, as well as white boots. "Unless it has suddenly become sentient, which is a possibility, in which case, I suggest you stop poking at it or it will go rogue and attempt to eject us all into the cold and unforgiving vaccum of space. Seen it happen. Seed ship. Entire population of Gamma IV wiped out because crew chief cheat at Chess against onboard VI."<br><br>"Have you considered asking Zoe Robot to perform a diagnostic on the systems? Much easier to fix that way. Less guesswork. Less Zac Person being electrocuted. Though, perhaps you are growing used to it by now. Suggest wearing rubber gloves in the future. Or not poking randomly at ship innards. Poking randomly is better reserved for dissections of unknown alien life forms and sex. Do not suggest do both at same time, though. Messy. Good way to catch disease." The alien clasped her hands behind her back and peered up at what he was working on. It was easy to see, since for some reason, he'd long ago declared a blood war against wall pannels everywhere. She still hadn't understood the decision. <br><br>"Anyway! Calling Zoe now!" She chirped, and lifted her arm, tapping at hidden buttons that she must've memorized the location of, because a communication channel opened and she asked, "Zoe Robot! Please to run ship diagnostic for us. Need to pinpoint engine troubles to expedite repairs. Thank you!"

Her tone is calm, with just the edge of a smile to it. <br>“Zac, Dee… sensors indicate 4 of the flow capacitors on the port side are out of alignment. They are out of tolerance, causing them to seize. Do you require my assistance for repairs?”&nbsp; &nbsp; <br>
