h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Commandeers a couple of droids and heads off towards the engine room(s).*

*Finds Main Engine Control Room.*

*The room is circular, about 25m in diameter and around most of the walls are the Engine Control Consoles. There are ten operator positions, each operator having responsibility for monitoring three consoles.*

*A glazed area, opposite the entrance hatch, overlooks the Main Engine Room. In the centre of the room is an island of further consoles.*

*In front of the glazed area is a Command Seat(a bit like Jean-Luc's on the Enterprise) for the Chief Engineer. It has a single screen and a vast array of control switches built into the arms.*

*Ancha enters and sits in Chief Engineer's Seat. He activates the screen and runs through some operational checks.*

*The droids await instructions.*

*When the operational checks complete, Ancha is satisfied that the terminal can, at least, be used to checkout the state of the engine systems.*

*He punches up the Main Engine diagnostic routines and runs them.*

*Main Engine Diagnostic results appear on screen.*

*Orders a droid to start dismantling and decontaminating all 8 injectors.*

*Sends second droid to work on coolant pumps.*

*Puts on hazard suit, picks up tool kit and enters Engine Room.*

*Starts to dismantle Field Stabiliser Coil 3.*

*Some of Casey's droid survey teams have downloaded their reports into the terminal.*

*The Field Stabiliser Coil is burnt out and will need to be rewound. Task given to droid.*

*All 8 plasma injectors have been removed, dismantled, decontaminated and laid out by the droid. Ancha inspects them.*

*Nos. 1, 4 and 5 are just a mass of fused metal and are consigned to the scrap bin. Replcement injectors required.*

*Nos. 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 are clogged to varying degree and will be re-usable after cleaning and recalibration. Refurbishment task assigned to droid.*

*an armoured speeder pulls up into the docking bay*

*Jo'tra climbs out and looks around*

* Returns to hold where terminal was set up. *

* Skims through downloaded reports. One catches his attention. *

Jo'tra. Come to see our new toy?

Yeah, I left the padawans flying above us, and came to see inside...

seeing if you need any help

I want to play with the toy too Ancha....

Soon we will have a squadren too

You can help me check out this storeroom if you like.

I'm looking for Plasma Injectors, Coolant Pumps and Field Stabiliser Coils.

If this storeroom the droid found is what I think it is, it could be our Aladdin's Cave.

lead the way *gestures*

*Heads aft.*

How's the padawan instruction going?

*follows* the others are alright as well as chnei, its just Lorelei... she is impatient... too much like a bounty hunter...

though she isn't.... like her sister

< *prepares Jedi for assault on Kamino* >

*Finds storeroom. Enters. The room is huge. Shelves of parts stretch as far as the eye can see and there are i.d tags on everything.*

Goldmine!!!!!

I'll take this side, you work round the other. Give me a shout if you find anything useful.

*Wanders off like a kid in a toyshop.*
