The com was queued up from the airlock and by the look on some faces it was getting harder and harder not to smile. The pockets of gas lazily drifting through the air in so many shimmering colors. It would have been rather romantic if they were not on a mission to collect gasses and Jack wasn't gearing up for a fight in the background.
"You let go of those! That is right they are attached to my body! What the hell are you doing to my tools!?"
The team of mechanics going with her having a devil of a time keeping a straight face most of all.
"Miss Jaquilene. I am only....Ahhhh!"
Clong!
That might have been a tool she had strapped to her brandished in a manner fitting El Cabong.
"Don't call me that! I swear I would do this myself if he wasn't sending you....you.....I can't even come up with a word to describe how ridiculous this is." Jack rubbed her temples the space suit only half on.
Hunter had to work hard not to react to what he was hearing."Someone had left the coms open and he was being given the pleasure of hearing every word."
"Is everything all right back there?""
It took no time at all for silence to ensue. Everyone was looking at the winged engineer like it was her fault they were getting yelled at."He never said anything else, his voice never raised yet the crew always thought he was being harsh.
"Everything is fine so long as they quit trying to shove me into this contraption and touch my tools."
Sighing more for the people around her than her own personal need. Jack started again.
"Sorry...sorry. We will be under way in 5 minutes. And the name is Jack."
Glaring at the one who had dared to use her full name. After much fussing and barking orders, the few who had been assigned to her quickly moved about. Jack kept her orders simple. All they had to do was make sure nothing floated away and do the basic repairs to the ship. She would handle the gas collection.
The touch of a smirk at her remarks ghosted over the admiral's features. Hunter found her fascinating to observe. If only he were Vulcan to truly appreciate it."
"Right then, on your mark Jack we will begin decompression of the airlock."
"He wondered what she looked like in that EVA suit, and then chided himself over it. That quirky little grin seemed to have made a residence on his face.?Best to get rid of that thing. He lowered his brows trying to force it away. The ensign at the flight control panel looked back turned pale and faced her station once again.
