I sighed, suddenly relaxed beyond belief. I’d never had much sympathy for these people. I had even less now. Seeing them come together like this made me realize how much we’d all achieve if they’d applied themselves half as much to anything else. We’d been well on our way to far better lives than we were currently experiencing. It didn’t matter though, they would help me turn my crazy plans into reality. Maybe not today, maybe not anytime soon. But it would happen someday. I’d take off on a ship and put it all into action. “Found it!” Mark cried out, startling me out of my reverie. I ran to him and his team and waited for the explanation. “There are some wiring issues for one FTL engine and another sub-light one. We did not detect it initially, but it can be fixed.” “How long?” I asked.
