“Don’t you know patience uh?” He held his position with the chest leaning forward “Right… sorry. On three.”
Positioning behind the back of the tractor, Chase put both of his hand on the chassis of the vehicle and looked for where the barn was. The rust and the metal roughness was like a can of tomato soup left under the rain and the dust for months before being recovered “Alright… One,” the NE started to count “Two, Three!”
With all of his force Chase started pushing, expecting that the woman would do the same.

They took about 40 minutes to move the 200 metres or so from the spot where the tractor was to the barn. It was warm and humid and the two of them perspired heavily. When they were in the cooler shade of the barn, Billie went to a table and handed Chase a bottle of clear liquid. “Take a drink. Water is good now. I am sure your body needs to replenish the water you lost.” The bottle contained about 1.5 litres of water.

Shortened of breath and incredulous that had just spent 40 minutes to push a dang broken tractor from the spot to the barn, Chase sat on the ground shadowed by the Barn’s roof and took the offered water with a sigh of relief “Thank you…” it took a while but in the end he drank about a third of the bottle and left the opened canister on the table, lazily trying to stay up “It was really really exhausting. How do you feel, Bill?” He asked the woman.

Billie was also a little breathless. “I’m used to hard work,” she said with a smile. “Thanks! Go through there and you will see a bathroom. Just fill the tub and soak yourself there. You need it. As to your clothes …” she spied down on his soiled uniform.

Smiling back, Chase stretched his arms out and was barely able to move due some aches on his feet “Yeah… uhm I guess I will probably need to wash them too. Or make a new set be transported down here so I have fresh clothes. At the same time I can also send down the spare parts for the tractor…” he proposed

“That would be a great help,” said Billie. “I could give you my paw’s old overalls, if you don’t mind …”

GM

“Seems fine to me.” Tapping his commbadge he opened communication with the Odin =/\= Here Chase. I would love you to beam down a spare components and some fresh clothes if you may. I will send the specs via Tricorder. Do you Copy?=/\=
