“Uh huh…” she said absentmindedly as she focused on the new data that was incoming with each of the devices that came online. After a moment, Faye pulled her chair back and gazed at the screen in amazement.
Turning to gaze at him, she grinned. “I did it! It’s working!” Faye laughed. “Wow… who would have thought. We might actually stand a chance if we come across whatever affected the Odyssey. ” That was un understatement. The components inside the devices were state-of-the-art and Faye herself had designed sections of it with R&D putting it all together. But everyone had agreed that the install would need to be precise if it were to even have a chance of working. How many hours had she devoted to all of this, to crawling through the ship and sparking the wariness and rumour mill of the crew? It would be worth it- it had to be. She wasn’t going to let anything bad happen to the ship. Not on her watch!

Keeping her head down was usually the best plan for everyone’s sake, but the Manhattan had turned that framework upside and declared it no longer relevant. But there was still that slight anxiety about her interactions with people, even if they generally seemed a bit easier lately. “Thank you,” she said softly.
Gazing back at the screen, Faye tapped a couple keys and watched the rate remain steady. Exhaling, she nodded. “Okay, one last bit where we bring on the automatic portions of the system. Those I’m pretty sure will need tweaking over the next few days and weeks, but I already expected that.”
