Telemetry is good... and the stress test is going well. Running at 120% standard and steadily rising with no problems so far...
"Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in!"
The music was pretty loud, seeing as she had patched it through the currently inactive intercom. It didn't help that she was singing at the top of her lungs either, but it didn't slow down her work, as she rushed through the main monitoring center of the engineering section checking on various displays.
Increase tops out at 145% and injectors are showing a stability issue... maybe we can get a bit more push out of that...
Her fingers dance over the touch screen's controls, a hum in the background just barely audible above the music. The engines typically wouldn't be that loud, but she was pushing them to their limits.
"When it comes down to victory within me
I know that we're in for days
No time to play
Why do you think I called upon you to take me on
Whittle me down to pieces
Put me back, do it right this time
Fight with me until the selfish help
Burn my house until I end up with nothing!"
There was a click and the hum became louder. Apparently whatever she was doing succeeded. Amazing what a 0.02% movement can do... efficiency at 160%... 165%... 175%... 190%... 196%... 198... 199... 200! She hits a button and the hum winds down; She disengaged the engine. That's my girl...
"If I ever
If I never
Make me want to stand up for whatever
Make me say
Make me pay
Make me understand you're there for me
Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in!"
She takes a few steps back and falls into a chair, rolling across the floor to a sitting terminal near the fusion core. The thing extended through several stories on the engineering deck, providing the power needed to run the engines among other things. Having completed the cycle on all three engines she was going to start her stress test on the core itself. The test began, but... 127%... Hold up... coolant levels rising, backups failing. Disengage isn't activating... crap. Secondary breach.
Kicking back from the terminal she hopped out of her chair, grabbing a tool from one of the pockets on her belt and grabbing the railing bar, flipping over it. Five floors up? No problem. Tool now in her mouth she uses hands, feet, and tail to flip her down through the stories until she hits the second floor, hugging to the containment wall of the core. Pushing off she drops in front of the low-level access panel and a few button presses later the cover pops off. Her tail catches it as her left foot starts on a second panel, right foot grabbing the cover from that one. She begins to cut through one of the metal sections in the panel with her right hand, hanging from a bar with her left, as her left foot types on commands to stabilize systems.
Come on baby... hold together for a few more seconds... don't give the Jedi's anything to worry about...
A button press of her foot and a tripped circuit found just under the covering, and the core goes into a forced shutdown. With a sigh of relief she replaces the covers and begins her travels back up, flipping from hold to hold, and finally vaults over the bar on her original floor. She walks over while dropping the tool in her belt, drops into the chair, slides up to the console, and begins to skim through report logs. Hmmmm...
