“We’re pretty much limited to motion generation power,” replied Fixit, “We can burn our hydrogen fuel to generate power but it’s rather an inefficient use of the hydrogen fuel. Around the ship is plenty of trees, but we haven’t explored much beyond that.”

Riley snapped the communicator shut, tested it clicking through the cycles, and deposited it in the pile of completed badges.

“That might be enough to build a steam engine,” he pointed out. “We have a source of water and a source of fuel.” He continued fidgeting with a new combadge, working it open and preparing the modifications. “Easy enough to make from interior paneling,” he said, leaning over the device on the table. “Probably the first one ever made from duranium though,” he chuckled. He was silent for a few seconds as he lifted some wires and then inserted a component.

“Assuming our plasma cutters and welders are still charged,” he sighed.

“Yes, those are at least for now,” said Fixit, “We haven’t made much progress on repairing the hull… it wasn’t a priority.”

Finn dropped a crystal and tried to grab it on the table, but it bounced and skittered onto the floor. He muttered and crawled around for a short while before he found it and scooped it up with the tweezers. He came back up holding it up in victory, then sheepishly placed it in the combadge.

“So what do you think, Chief?” he asked MacMoragh. “Think we could build a steam powered generator?”
