Getting intimate with my ship
08 Apr 2016IronWolfe
laying on the ground amid the mess of cables, oils and various ship components, I couldn't help but love and despise my ship. I've been trying to do some much needed maintenance for the last few hours and improve some aspects only to feel her laugh at me with everything I do. Oh! you think you can take those cables out? Here's some engine oil up your nose, want to try that again? Hahaha, you want to move that module there? Have some coolant in your ear.There's also times where I'd swear she was trying to kill me. I was adding some hull reinforcement panels when out of no where, I'd hear random pops and feel bolts scream by my head. To be fair to Blue though, I haven't done any actual maintenance on her since purchase all those moons ago. Instead I left it up to the techs on the landing bays simply because that's their job right?
Admittedly, I failed as her keeper and she was very clearly letting me know it. As if letting me know I failed to keep her in one piece during combat didn't make me feel bad enough. Oh Well, I never said I was a good pilot. Hell I can barely keep a cactus alive, how can I be expected to keep my ship alive as well. We'll work out a rhythm yet, her and I. I just may be bloodied and broken when we do though.
