"Well, you're not really in the way...
These folks would just run you over if you were."
Ian said with a chuckle, indicating his Engineers. "But, as you wish, we'll use the MOX Chambers once we reach that phase."
Ian smiled at Theobald before turning and barking orders at his crew to get back to work.
*********************
The work order had been made,
and the materials had arrived for the next phases of the repair.
Ian's team worked tirelessly on the interior systems, such as life support and the power core.
A few of Ian's stronger men busied themselves with the interior paneling,
masterfully using salvaged parts to complete most of the work.
Ian himself began to tinker with the power core, hoping to perhaps salvage anything of use
to make the job easier.
He felt hopeful that everything could be completed relatively quickly so long as
Rob and his folks got started soon as well.
The sounds of Junkers at work grew louder, and the occasional cursing in pain had reached its peak.
Getting the job done was priority number one, getting it done safely was but a mere afterthought.
If, indeed, safety was even considered at all.
All that mattered to Ian was that the job be done correctly.
He sincerely hoped he wouldn't have to push another Engineer out of the airlock onboard his Liner....
The claw-marks around its door were becoming obvious.
