“Maybe when we’re not drowning in a sea of backlogged tasks, we can aim for that 99%,” Liam mused, a hint of wry amusement in his voice. He couldn’t help but feel the familiar tug of his perfectionist tendencies, the desire to see everything operating at peak performance, even if it meant burning the midnight oil.

Harry nodded. “Agreed!” he said. “Besides, there are plenty of other systems not operating anywhere near 98% that we can get back up to our standards.”

As he began to replace the cover, a sudden movement caught Liam’s eye further down the Jeffries tube. With a startled curse, he dropped the cover from his grip. “Did you see that?” he exclaimed, his heart rate quickening as he peered into the darkness, searching for any signs of movement.

Harry peered down the Jefferies tube, whilst grabbing his palm torch out of his uniform pocket. Whilst looking forward, he deftly used his left hand to flick open his tricorder, looking to see if it detected any life forms.

Liam leaned in to get a better look, his hand wrapped around a fine tool adjusting just incase anything jumped out, “Are you reading anything?” He asked crawling towards the movement.

Archer’s tricorder registered a faint life sign, though it lacked the detail to confirm a positive match due to its engineering-focused capabilities. While the reading hinted at the presence of life, the tricorder’s primary function wasn’t geared towards biological scans, unlike the specialized medical tricorders designed for that purpose..

“There’s something there…” Harry started. “I’m guessing that it’s a small creature, given the faint reading I’m getting, but no more detail than that.” he continued.

Before the lockdown was autherised a tabby furry ball propelled itself at Liam knocking him back causing him to bump his head and let out a rather unbecoming scream. Ontop of him, was Crewman Miller’s daughter’s cat, Bubbles… or at least from the collar dangling between Liam’s two confused eyes explained. “What the…” He groaned.

Harry jumped back as the furry creature shot out of the tube it was in. Taking a moment to work out what happened, he took stock of the Ensign lying on the deck with a cat sat on top of him. Suppressing a chuckle, he went over to pick up the cat.

“Well, at least it wasn’t a Cardassian Vole.” he said with a grin.
