Alec’s back muscles flexed as he reached about the engine, tapping various rusted parts. Whoever was the mechanic previously wasn’t very good in his mind. There was a way to save a lot of money on parts. Anything with a bit of rust or grim build up simply needed to be tapped a few times over to get it all off. Other than that, there were a couple parts that needed to eventually be replaced. As long as he was in there with each take-off he should be able to coax each bit into life.
He stood up and wiped at his forehead, reaching for the oil. There were some gears grinding the wrong way because they weren’t greased up the way they should. Alec dabbed some on his fingers and rubbed them along some of the major gears that turned the engine to keep it going in space. Later he would work on some of the wiring that was along the walls. Some could use to be covered and Alec was thanking himself for packing his electrical tape. Could keep from starting a major electrical fire. And in space, a fire was a mighty dangerous thing.
All his things were in his sister’s quarters. He was waiting to find someplace until everyone else has settled in. He didn’t care much where he slept as long as he had a bed. Alec and Roxie were able to spend time together and talk again and that was alright with him. His plan all along was to be back around to watch over his sister. Though he suspected that now she was doing well enough. He’d have to thank Ben for that. Though she didn’t want him to know, Ben simply giving her the job and being honest with Roxie was enough to get Roxie going again. Alec hoped it would be enough if he decided to jump ship at some point.
