“Lucky I hadn’t activated the force field Leuitenant” Stores stood there with out his uniform tunic and a role of black and yellow floor cation tape. The heavy EVA style gloves and mag boots were also a departure from his earlier uniform. “Wouldn’t want you to get bit.” Tho the tone of annoyance was clear, neither his posture or smile indicated it was directed at her.

Bethany chuckled. Well it wasn’t directed at her, but it probably should be. “Sorry Lt. I’ll have to run a diagnostic to see what happened, and then it will take a bit to fully deactivate her. I warned the crew chief.” She shook her head and started running the diagnositc to see what had happened. While it ran she looked around for the PaDD she was missing. “You won’t need the force field after I’m done. Unless you think the Cap’ would like you to lock me in here.” She laughs amused at the idea. She finds the PaDD under the co-pilot’s chair and raises a brow at that. She sets it by the door and looks over at the Lt again. “Anything I can help with, while the computer finishes it’s work?”

“Well I think I’m going to erect it anyway, just to keep the lookie lues away. The deck apes made a game of it and got themselves hurt.” The diagnostic showed a pattern of longer and longer contacts until finally multiple and prolonged final contact. The pattern looked like three people were playing chicken. “ If you don’t mind helping me lay down the cation tape I would appreciate it.”

As Stores spoke the force field pillions, his uniform top and an insulated carafe was clearly visible on one of the grave pallets. It was also clear that the Shuttle was expertly chocked and anchored to the deck.

The computer beeped and Bethany looked over at the results. “Good lords. That’s what warnings are for. What are they, cadets still in the academy?” She watched the feed and winced as the first one went down and then she shook her head. “They deserved it.” She steps out and takes the caution tape from him and begins to pull off a starter strip and lays it to the ground. “The program was installed by a friend, as a joke. I tried to remove it in flight, but it was more work than could be done while she was in flight.” She felt bad for the Lt. People had to act like children and he had to deal with. She noticed the care he had taken with the shuttle and she was grateful. “Thank you for taking care of her. She’s not much, but she’s mine.”

“Anything worth doing m’am, recently bought a ship of my own so I understand.” Deftly huaning his end of the tape it wasn’t a minuets work. “Care to help with the emitters?” They were bog standard hazard barriers designed to keep people from wondering into hazardous work spaces. Beside the carafe was an old style watch cup with dregs of coffee in it.

Bethany took a couple of the emitters from him and walked around the other side of the shuttle putting them in place. She waited to turn them on. She had to get back into the shuttle to turn the system off. Knowing her ‘friend’ she’d have to uninstall the entire physical system as well. She glanced over at the carafe and coffee cup. “When I’m done here, Lt. let me buy you a cup of fresh coffee. It’s the least I can do for all the trouble you’ve had to go through.”
Lt. Gadi, CNS

“ I will gladly take coffee with you, but it isn’t really a bother. I have been managing cargo most my life. “ Stores appeared around the corner with a big grin, “People, how ever that can be a PITA.” Reaching over for his tunic and coffee kit he waved toward the door.” After you.”

Bethany turned back to the shuttle uncertainly. She walked over, grabbed her PaDD and then had a though. She went into the main control panel. She put the shuttle in to repair mode. That allowed her to turn the security system off for 2 hours. She exited and locked the shuttle up. She waited for Reed to set the force field. “Two hours can go quick. It will take me all night to remove that system.” She headed out the door. “So I have no idea where the best place to get coffee on this ship is.”
