YSS Eucharis - Fabrication
Jax sat hunched in front of a viewscreen, mindlessly typing away at a long, complex series of equations. About his face was a look of deep focus. Obviously, the work he was performing was
very important and critical to mission success.
...And therefore, using this equation, I successfully prove that approximately 1.0284^12 Nekoburger hashbrown patties (plus or minus 1^11) could fit inside the Eucharis, stacked neatly, end to end, without squishing them. It is important to note that there would be no crew present, and that all conceivable space will be used, including the maintenance conduits.
God, he was bored. The mission so far had been uneventful. Not to say he wasn't thankful for that! Normally, the ship would be torn apart by now! It was like a new record! In fact, for laughs, he kept a tab open on his console with a little counter titled "Days Since Ship Destroyed".
At first, the engineer hadn't remembered a single thing about the infamous "Great Bender of '39" as he liked to call it. Then, after a day or so, he remembered a few key details. Kissing Freyja, running like hell,
fighting Tsuguka,
kissing Tsuguka, and a game of truth or dare.
With a long, forlorn sigh, Jax swiped the screen with his hand and placed his head down on the work bench. The file he'd created was automatically sorted into a folder titled
"Random Thoughts I Will Probably Never Use But Just Had to Dedicate My Time To". Upon closer inspection, one could see that the folder was rather full. Jax sat in silence, thoughts drifting over to the red tiger he'd made the wonderful mistake of hitting on.
By some strange twist of fate, he'd never really had the chance to speak to her since the party. Whenever he'd seen her around the ship, he'd smiled and tried to utter a small greeting, but that was about it. His schedule differed so much from hers that it made meeting up almost impossible. He couldn't even find her in the Rec Area, which was a shame, because he really wanted to spar again, having become sick of holographic ninjas. He figured that she needed her space, though. Even if it was for three months.
