"Yes sir, I understand." Jessica said in response to Griffith ordering her to hunt for parts and not for trouble. She had to remind herself that she was an engineer today, not a soldier. Her job was to fix the engines, not blast alien horrors. Even so, that's what she was trained to do and that mindset was hard to break.
Oh well. At the very least I'm more than capable of protecting Griffith and Garret while we work. With Jon and Alain watching our backs it'll be easy.
"If I may make a suggestion sir, we should gather as much scrap metal as we can along with any useful electronics or intact parts. With a large heat resistant bin and a plasma-based power source, say a garbage bin and a starship reactor, we could set up a makeshift smelter. We could then melt down any scrap we find and reforge it into necessary parts. My body can synthesize enough nanomachines to work and cool metal and I'll be able to coordinate their efforts."
As she was talking she thought out a text to Jon. She wanted to talk about what happened with Mila with someone besides Griffith and the captain and Jon seemed like a pretty nice guy. Plus he was clearly an experienced crew member and a friend of the captain so he knew everyone.
Could I talk to you about something personal after we get on board?
Jessica then sent the text to Jon's helmet HUD.
