Rann and Syke Viann, Research Space Station, in orbit around Mars

Rann stood by his workbench, creating some unkown object that might make it to the coveted spot in his 'used' pile, meaning that someday, he just may find a use for the invention. But more than likely, this, as over half of his other creations, will go into the scrap pile to be made into something else.

"What are you doing?" Syke asked Rann, coming to a halt beside his younger brother. He picked up a black metal object and inspected it. "What is this?"

Rann slapped his broter's hand without looking up from his work. "No touching!" he scolded, accepting the object back from Syke and putting it back down; still not looking up.

"What are you making?" Syke asked again, more insistently.

"Nothing." Rann answered as he put on a proctective mask, not to protect his eyes, because they couldn't be hurt, but just his face in general. He began welding two pieces of the black metal together, drowning out any conversation for the next minute or two.

Syke was getting extremely frustrated with his brother. "What are you making?" he asked through gritted teeth.

"It's for the ship." he answered, holding up the finished product. It was black and sleek, obviously to match the metal interior of the engine room of their ship.

"What does it do?" he asked. The object had a series of pipes protruding from a box, which had a pump inside. He scratched his head, utterly confused.

"Look." Rann said, pointing to the pipe on the top. "Here is where our engine coolant is going to go; because it leaks anyway. Anyways, it goes down through this box, where it's pumped back out into the main hold where it belongs."

"Why didn't you just patch the leak?"

Rann blinked a few times; Syke couldn't tell if he was turning on the record option or the zoom. "Because that isn't as fun, and it wouldn't allow us to do this." he replied, pointing to a smaller pipe that Syke hadn't noticed before. He turned a valve on the end and smiled. "It will also make the coolant drinkable; I put in a series of filters and lined the inside with some toxin-neutralizing chemicals."

"That's useless." Syke said with a scowl.

"We'll see how useless it is when we get stuck in space with no water." Rann answered as he pushed by his brother with the invention in hand; all that was left was installation.

Syke sighed and followed.

When the installation was complete, and Rann had a sip of coolant, they went into the Research Area to look for their sister.

Mark -- Triumph

"WHAT? 1600?....dang," Mark replied. He grabbed a bag of chips and punched in a pin number to pay for it, then sat down at the table with Juac, "So what do ya mean by 'not liking the sound of it'? How deep into Rykan territory are we going?"

"Well, if you were there you'd know that the 'Wildcats' aren't a heavy attack squadron like ours." Juac lowered his voice a bit, anything said in a breifing is classified information, whether it be what colour the commanders underwear are to how much toothpaste you use.
"The 'Wildcats' are an expiremental crusier fleet. It seems that they are a new squadron and the brass wants to test their combat effectiveness." He leaned back and sipped on the coffee that was brought to him, by a robot of course, "Oh, by the way, that 3rd Lt. in Captain Marquess' Flight asked about you today. She says you two should get together sometime." Juac faked a puzzled look, "Whatever that means.."

Mark was still a bit puzzled, "So... Are they deploying us with them in case something goes wrong with the Wildcats? And if they're trying to test the combat effectiveness does that mean they are expecting us to run into some resistance out there?" he asked in the same low tone Juac used.

When Juac told him about the 3rd Lt. Mark shrugged and smirked, "What can I say? I just can't keep 'em off me. So, when do we takeoff?"

"I'm not sure why were going with them, seems strange. However we can't be going to far into Rykar space because were moving out without a carrier group." Juac played with the brim of his coffee cup and then looked up at mark and hesitated a bit, "I studied the maps during the briefing, and at the course they proposed it seemed like we were heading in the direction of Star H6799... The location that the Battle of the Blind happened at."

Juac gave off a frown, surely even Mark remebered the horror. "Well, anyways.." He finished off the last of the coffee, stood up and pushed the olive colored chair back in, "Were supposed to be suited and down on the flight deck in.." He looked down at his watch, "0700 hours.. Don't be late?"

Mark's face grew stern, "That's suspicious..." he replied thinking back to the Battle of the Blind. He brought himself back to reality, "0700? Got it," he stood up and also pushed his chair in, "See you then."
