Trying to come up with a design for the mechanic that I like… and combines the input from other mechanic aficionados. 

“Don’t get me wrong, I love being in the black. I belong in the sky. The only problem is that it’s always cold. So I gotta bundle up. And when I bundle up, I get sleepy. That’s what we rabbits do. It gets cold, we burrow and sleep. So I’ll be watchin’ the console and suddenly Cap’n’s shaking me awake. It’s not like I wanna fall asleep on the job. It’s just too damned cold to stay awake.

“At least there are plenty of hammocks hung up for me to nap in wherever I happen to be when the yawning starts…”

– The Pilot

“I don’t know what’s worse about having male crewmates… the smell or the severe lack of unprocessed, pre-packaged food. It’s sad, really. They don’t even have any ice cream on board. How do they survive out there in the black without any creature comforts beside instant ramen and beer? Or better yet, how are they still alive with such disgusting dietary habits? 

“Priority one at the next port we come to will be restocking (or stocking at all, as the case may be) the pantries. We’ll have good food to eat even if I have to cook it all myself. A crew can’t be expected to work their hardest if they’re not properly fed, after all.”

– The Ambassador 

At work for better or worse. Hoping I can get my projects done and go home early. Here’s the deer I left on my desk the other day, though!
