The flight deck was nearly empty; only the Chief and Specialist Cally remained. The Chief was sitting on a stool at one of the workstations, catching up on some paperwork. Specialist Cally was doing some clean up around the perimeter of the flight deck with her push broom, every once in a while stopping to spray down a workstation and wipe it down.

Neither of them was really paying attention to the two pilots in a darkened corner of the deck where a mangled Viper was waiting on extensive repairs. Cally was working her way around the flight deck and getting closer the Viper, but wasn't really close enough to see who was over there.

Besides, it was pretty dark in that corner. She was, however, making pretty good time and would be close to them soon…she just hoped none of the nuggets decided to try the chief's patience by sneaking in a quickie on the flight deck.

"Damn, this is an awkward angle."

"Yeah, but we'll fit. There's room for both of us, it'll just be tight."

The sound of something smacking into the Viper.

"Ouch! Frak that hurt."

Rustling sounds…

"Move over a little…let me get closer."

"OK, this is good"

"Help me out here, will you? Take my hand"

"Sure. There…oh yeah – that's the spot."

"Did I find it?…I can't really see."

"Uh Huh…You found it alright."

Specialist Cally moved closer to the pilots and was now picking up snatches of their conversation. Frak, she thought to herself…the Chief was going to be pissed.

"Good. Because I can't frakking see anything…you're going to have help guide me in."

"OK. I can do that…"

More rustling sounds…

"…Ah, move your hand up…just a little…oh…there, right there…"

"I've got it? You're sure?"

"Oh, I'm sure…Hurry, move a little faster…"

"Uh, you're going to have to hold on a little tighter…and…I can't quite reach…"

"Yes you can…Gods you're there…you're there, just a little more…"

"A little more???"

"Oh…Gods…Lee. Almost…almost…just…a…little…further…"

Frak! Cally thought to herself…it was the CAG. What the hell should she do?

"Umm, Captain?"

Whack!!

"Frak!"

Lee poked his head out from under the mangled Viper. "What is it Specialist? I'm kinda busy here." He looked pointedly at the other set of feet underneath the Viper.

Cally turned pink. "Oh, sorry…I didn't mean to interrupt…I'll just be moving along." She started to back away.

"Wait…Can you hand me your cleaning rag? Kara and I finally found the leak in the fuel line of the Viper and almost have it patched up. You know what a bitch it is to get to, that's why we're both working on it."

Cally's face flamed red. "Ohhh. Sure. No problem…I'll just grab another one later." Her relief and blush didn't go unnoticed by Lee.

"Why, Specialist Cally…what exactly did you think you were interrupting?" A wide grin spread across Lee's face.

Cally lowered her eyes and said sheepishly, "You don't want to know, Sir." And with that she spun around and almost ran to the supply area.

Lee looked over at Kara, raised an eyebrow and said "Apparently it sounded like we were doing something other than repairing a viper. Wanna hazard a guess?" They both burst out laughing.

Kara threw the rag at Lee. "Alright, big man, get back under here…I'm not finished with you yet."
