The Aftermath 6

... station back together, not sure if I'm prepared to go up against a world ship let alone 2 of them," Jim said over his shoulder to Mary. Mary was in thought a moment, "what if we can get the cloak operational?" she suddenly injected. "That would be nice but I haven't been able to get the light bending array to align properly. The fact that the apparatus won't power up has me perplexed. I've checked the system 3 or 4 times and can't find anything wrong with it," Jim said, a look of extreme concentration on his face. Mary once again was deep in thought, this sounded a lot like one of her missions where her cloak went down and she couldn't get it backup. Thinking harder, it was starting to frustrate her that the answer wouldn't come to her. Jim was quiet, he'd seen her like this before, once she was onto an idea if anything broke her concentration she might never finish the idea. Mary was replaying that whole part of the mission in her head, it started out good she was near the target activated the cloak and nothing happened, what the hell? She'd taken the cloak apart and found nothing wrong with it, then she'd done it again 3 times still finding nothing.

To his complete and utter amazement he watched as not only the cloak system came on but started to work at almost 100%. Turning to face him a happy smirk on her face she stated, "after all Jim, the cloak idea was my idea to start with you just helped me to bring it to life." With that she danced away a wide mouthed Jim following not far behind wondering why he hadn't seen this in the first place. "Don't feel bad Jim, I've found that when I am emotionally attached more than I usually am, I can't see the easy fixes either." Jim walked back to control Mary not too far behind, Amber having heard the whole thing couldn't help but smile. Looking over the readings Jim saw that indeed the cloak was now operating, though it was only at 95% it was more than enough for what they needed to do. "Dickie I need the status on DMTM 3, is it damaged too much to effectively repair?" Jim inquired of his AI. "Scanning," Dickie droned back. A few minutes later it's answer surprised all 3 of them.
