( closed ) I get lost in space

Who: Bruce Banner and Tali'Zorah
When: Dec 10th
Where: The engine room
What: Bruce goes check out the engines and power reserves, and runs into someone else there.
Warnings: None, I don't think.


There are only so many books he can read. At this point, he's probably absorbed all the publications in the library about mechanical engineering, anything even remotely related to what goes into the workings of spaceships, not to mention that book that Elizabeth got him with several blueprints and specifications on various other ships. That's about all the knowledge he can get under the current circumstances, but now he needs the practical aspect, to see the actual ship at work, and to try to find where the flaw really is.

So, the engine room is his destination. It's the most important room in the ship, where the power supply is stored, and where he'll find the massive devices that will keep the ship going. If there's a flaw that affects power in general, then it has to be there.

No one seems to mind him coming by the engine room. In fact, as far as he can tell it's completely empty at the moment, and he's not even stopped as he gets himself a pair of ear muffs for the noise and steps farther inside. The room does have an advantage: it's warm. It's hot, even, unlike the rest of the ship, and right now that's a huge relief, even so far as making up for the loud noise that he can practically feel thumping away inside his chest.

He doesn't touch anything, not for now anyway, looking over the control panels, then shifting his attention to the engines, and looking around for where the power's stored away.

"...I didn't even tell you my name before I started." Before she can help herself, she's laughing a little. Her brain had frozen as soon as Bruce introduced himself - apparently it had frozen all the way past social niceties as well.

"I'm Tali'Zorah. Just call me Tali." She bobs her head in a polite nod...and gestures to where the engines seem to be in the laborious process of restarting. "If you still want that look at the engines, I promise I won't keep interviewing you."
