Scotty never had to run so far and fast in his life. Having his body pulled and placed next to the escape pod entrance, he had a prime view of inside the escape pod. Though, his vision wasn't the best, as it was pulsing and blurry. Something that happens to a slightly overweight engineer when he runs for his life. One big detail that Scotty did not notice however was that the two levers to eject the pod were engaged, something that could prematurely, and without warning, send the pod out into space. An unfocused look at the pod, noticing an all white bed and chair, and hearing Seabourne talk about a child's game,
"Hide and seek? We have to go now, lad. Enough games."
The pod's entrance was open and Seabourne was busy flipping through pages of the binder. Scotty took it upon himself to crawl into the pod and situate himself on the chair. The control panels for the pod were located between him and the pod's door. One look, and Scotty knew what was going on. The standard issue escape pods were the same across all ships of the same class. Fortunately, his familiarity came from the NX-01. Pressing a handful of buttons, he finds that the pod's ejection power circuits were reversed, something that happens when you're installing a new pod after the space has been vacated. Little did he know that fixing this power problem would re-engage the ejection sequence.
"I'll rest here, and try to fix this damn pod. Keep a lookout for that Goose, aye?"
The panel comes off with ease and the area inside the control box was a mess. Scotty gets to work on repairing the unit.
