Everything was working perfectly, it just HAD to be the turbo lifts that go out of wack. But no matter, Lt Zhu was working on all the stabilization reroutines in the computer core section of the station. He had been there for quite some time now. For a couple of hours he has noted how harshly demanding the station was, and he was just beginning to see the importance of his duty.

 

He reflected back to Demore's desk, it was better organized than it was now, Zhu wasn't a neat or tidy person. He never believed in tidiness on the whole. He had always been a messy person, when fixing several bypasses in the plasma conduits with scrubs or fixing an A clarinet, it was the same. Fluids, got them, spare parts, check, schematics, on the floor. Everything was on the floor when he was conducting repairs.

 

He looked round to see his assistants working away with testing the computer linkage circuits. This impacted to him that he was, indeed, a very messy person. The mess from two days ago still wasn't cleaned up, some of the ODN junctions were still not replaced by panels and several spent conduits of different classes laid on the deck plates waiting to be picked up and recycled. Zhu sighed at the sight.

 

"I'll clean the whole station with a tooth brush, but only after everything is in order and perfectly running."

 

He was really glad that there were more engineers to assist him to repair the station back to its formal glory. He looked over several assistants, Jaylen Falco, the newest addition seems eager to help and shows a very good understanding of the systems. Zhu's day was brighter to know that he could count on them in a tight spot.

 

Zhu continued the battle of repairing. Replacing the damage components with brand new ones. Zhu made an estimate on the next time they'll be trashed, the odds looked good this week, no attacks or threats on the station yet, the malfunctions have been cleared out, leaving but a few glitches, the hardware replaced.

 

Zhu's day had brighten a little more knowing that the parts would last longer while facing a crisis. He was glad, this was after all ... his home.
