Nearby he could hear the work of the two other NE’s in another crawl space to his right and slightly below him to his left. “..Stupid Mk-2 relays, stupid 2350s engineering specs..” NE Franks could be heard to his right muttering, evidently having some trouble dislodging an errant isolinear relay from the 2350s, likely the age and lack of regular use had meant the isodine connectors had fused somewhat from the lack of energy charge flowing through them keeping them in line and viable.

A chuckle below and to his left was echoed by NE Harv, “..Problems Franks?” The other NE asked.

”..Oh just these stupid Mk-2’s the connector has fused half way into the slot, I’m thinking it might be just easier to yank the whole board out and replace it anew.” He said through gritted teeth straining it seemed to pull the relay chip out. Suddenly there was a crack and whack sound and a series of curses by Franks. “…Gosh darn, heck it all freaking stupid, no good …” the ranting and pained cursing of the man went on for over a minute.

”..Relay finally slip loose?” Came Harv’s chuckle.

”..Yeah yeah, just another bruised knuckle to add to the list..” Franks muttered going back to work.

Charles’s voice then came back on the comm =/\= Lieutenant Buchanan we’re transporting over your new fabrication, stand by=/\= He said. A second later a small foamed box encased relay came into being on his chest. =/\= Transport complete, you got it Lieutenant?=/\= He asked.

Kaden was happy to have the new item fabricated and responded =/\=Thank you Franks. It looks good and I will be getting it inserted here shortly.=/\= He knew by looking at it that it would be perfect and went ahead and started the procedure to replace the old parts with the new one. He inserted it and waited for it to connect and come online. He then said to the computer =/\=Computer, the new piece for the relay has been inserted. Can you please run a diagnostic and confirm the functionality of this new part?=/\= He wanted for a response from the computer but expected it to be well within the specs which required 90% functionality. He was hoping it would be higher than that but was not worried.

OOC: Again sorry for the delay!

A moment later the computer beeped and began the diagnostics and update with the new part. =/\= Component replacement complete. Current efficacy is at 91.23% =/\= It reported.

A moment later too Kaden could also hear Harv and Franks nearby finishing their own work, after another beep the computer updated its response. =/\= Revised diagnostics complete now operating at 94.347% efficacy =/\= It said.

From nearby Harv spoke, “..Probably as good as we’re going to get Chief. How about we scurry out of these crawl spots eh? Get back to the ship to see what all that hub bub was about earlier?” he suggested.
