All Those Pretty Stars [Concluded]

Eve leaned against the same wall she had occupied only forty-five minutes previously, folding her arms and watching as the rest of the passengers returned to the hold. Reilly made some comment about teamwork, but she merely shrugged her shoulders; in Eve's opinion, it hardly constituted as a team effort when she was bearing the brunt of the workload.

The internal politics of the ship didn't matter to her; she wanted to return to the navigation systems as quickly as possible, fix everything and return home, preferably without anyone else dying.

Repair: Navigation

I don't understand... if we only have a short time, and we need to catch the bad guy... why are we not even trying to?

**Beefy187** · 06-10-2010, 02:03

Because no one is dead yet. And if we don't lynch anyway, we can use more man power to repair stuff.

In 5 hours, everyone is gonna be... be.... *begins crying*

We already used up one hour, and now we're gonna waste another one? How are we ever going to catch the bad guy in time this way? We're all going to end up like my... my...

I wanna go home! The adults here don't know what they're doing!

Christy gives Edward some chips. The boy's statements ring true to her, but what can the town do? With no evidence to base it on, senselessly killing the remaining survivors would be ludicrous.

"Sometimes Edward," she started "grown ups do some strange things because they're scared. Hurting all the good people here is not going to help anyone, if we can just repair the ship, and move away from the star, maybe then we can worry about surviving after that." she sighed, and stroked his hair. Then leaned down and whispered to him.

"Though I do think you are right, action needs to be taken..." she smiled at him, and stole a chip.

Well, what I mean...

...What if you can get the ship fixed, but then bad things start to happen? Like more people die... or someone breaks the ship again? Then there's not much time left.

And we will have more people we think could have done it. We won't have much chance of guessing right!

If we don't at least put some people in the sleeping pods, then we will have no way of narrowing it down.

At least, that's what I think... but... I dunno. I hope you guys have a good plan. I'm very scared right now.

*munches on some chips, nervously*

"So how did it go with the Navigation systems, miss Eve? Should we expect the repairs to be done within 4 hours?"

Christy reaches into her shoulder bag and pulls out a small stack of wooden blocks, and a small metal platform. She presses a button on it, and it glows a soft blue and floats in the air.

"Would you like to play some Space Jenga Edward?" She presses a second button and the wooden blocks arrange themselves in a small tower, in alternating patterns of 3 blocks aligned in a cross hatching pattern.

She slowly grabs and pulls one of the wooden blocks out, and places it down next to herself.
