SBC Radio One: Repairs

[Bazza]

The small drone clumsily manoeuvres its' way past the foreboding hull of the dauntingly large ship, graduating towards the open airlock.

Upon entry to the vessel, the drone scrapes along one of the walls, the loud metallic sound muffled completely by the lack of air. Left behind is an aestheticism displeasing - yet functionally harmless - set of scratches down the side of the previously pristine livery.

Uh.



Oops.

Evangeline sneakingly readjusts her ship and completes docking, hoping no-one had noticed her faux pas. The blast door closes behind her and the port quickly pressurises with atmosphere. Evangeline shuts down the engine and the tiny craft comes to rest on the cold steel grate underneath.

Without hesitation, Evangeline releases the canopy glass and climbs out over the blunted nose cone. She deftly hops to the floor and, after spending a moment composing herself, wanders around to the starboard side of her vessel. She inspects for damage to her own ship and quickly disposes of "borrowed" flakes of paint with the bat of a hand, then flicks a metallic latch open set upon the flanks of the craft. The olive coloured storage pod pops open, revealing within a vast array of both specialist equipment and general-duty hand tools.

Evangeline casually reaches in and retrieves the first of the numerous items packed, a portable device comprising a toolbox-red block with a hose-like device and power cords running out of it. She brings it to rest beside her feet and reaches in for the next item in her lineup, a welders' helmet.

After setting that aside her mysterious red box she stands to attention, scanning her surroundings for her new contractor.
