As Kate and Buffer walked back up to the bridge with the wrench in Buffer's hand. They were still puzzled about where the wrench came from and who exactly used it last. Once they reached the bridge, they found RO, Charge and 2dads still sitting there laughing.
"Something is tickling them." Kate whispered to Buffer.
"Sorry X. Just taking everything in." Charge said, stopping the laughter.
"It's fine. Just keep it down next time." Kate smiled.
2dads was the first one to notice the wrench. He was also puzzled about where it came from but had noticed this before somewhere else on the Hammersley.
"X?" He asked.
"Yes, 2dads." Kate asked him.
"That wrench where did you get it from?" 2dads asked, looking Kate in the eye.
"It came from a room that was flooded with water." Buffer answered.
"Flooded?!" RO said in surprise.
"Yes flooded. It looks like someone put it there to stop anyone getting the water away." Buffer continued.
RO and Charge looked at each other in alarment. Who on earth would want to flood the Hammersley?! Nav came to join them on the bridge and also noticed the wrench in Buffers hand.
"Nav. How's Commander Flynn?" Kate asked her with a smile.
"He's well. He said I could move rooms which is good." Nav smiled back.
"Good. Let's hope Bomber isn't too angry." Kate sighed.
"She is very angry." 2dads laughed.
"How do you know that?" Kate asked him.
2dads looked at Nav for some support. Nav nodded to let him know he could tell them about what just happened.
"Bomber nearly broke Navs fish tank." 2dads finally answered.
"She what?!" Kate looked at Nav.
"She nearly threw my fish tank to the ground." Nav backed 2dads.
"Is the fish alright?" Buffer said, holding back laughter.
Nav could see that Buffer was keeping back laughter. She gave him an icy cold glare to tell him not to put his foot in it. The fish meant everything to Nav, more than anyone else knew.
"The fish is fine thank you Buffer." Nav answered him.
"Yeah no thanks to Bomber." 2dads sighed.
"Where is Bomber?" Kate asked Nav.
"She needed some air. She wanted to be alone." 2dads replied.
"I might go and see her in a minute." Kate finally said.
"You might want to give some time to herself." 2dads said again.
Kate nodded as she agreed with 2dads. Nav looked over to her and wanted to say something but she didn't want to put her foot in it. Nav didn't want to make it bad as she had already fallen out with Bomber, she didn't want to fall out with Kate either.
"Can I have a look at that wrench X?" Charge asked to break the silence.
Kate passed the wrench over to Charge. Everyone waited to see what Charge was going to say.
"This looks very familiar." Charge said, looking at it.
"Is it one of yours?" Buffer asked him.
"It might be. I've got so many I don't know." Charge said.
The crew, apart from Charge, groaned. They were none the wiser about where the wrench came from. Even though Charge was supposed to know everything about the ship down to the kit used in it.

Bomber was still getting some air. She didn't want to re-join the crew just yet. Plus if she did go back to the bridge she might have to face Nav again and after the fish incident she didn't think that was the best idea.
"Want some company?" Swaine asked joining her.
"Maybe." Bomber smiled.
"Aren't you supposed to be on the bridge?" He asked.
"Aren't you supposed to be in the sick bay?" Bomber replied.
"Touche."
"Everyones just getting on my nerves I guess." Bomber said.
"Don't let them." Swaine tried to calm her down.
"I nearly killed Navs fish." Bomber said with her eyes closed.
Swaine went to say something. Bomber waited with baited breath to see what he was going to say. She knew it wasn't going to be good but still wanted to see what his reply was going to be.
"Have you apologised yet?" Swaine finally came out.
"Not yet." Bomber sighed.
"Are you going to?"
"Yes but not yet."
"Okay. When are you going to go back to the bridge?"
"Soon. I hope."
"I'm sure the X will want you back soon."
Bomber smiled a little when Swaine said this. She had always had a good relationship with Kate. She had a good relationship with most of the crew but sometimes it got a little strained.
"Come on. I'll support you inside." Swaine said, giving his hand out to take her to the bridge.
"Thanks Swaine." Bomber said, taking his hand.
Both of them walked to the bridge. Swaine went first a little as he didn't want Bomber getting it in the neck first and running out of the bridge. Bomber was a little bit apprehensive about going back.
"You sure I should do this." Bomber whispered.
"Yep." Swaine replied.
As they got to the bridge, everyone stared at them as they entered. Nav was giving Bomber the evils. Bomber let go of Swaines hand and walked up to her old roommate.
"I want to apologise." Bomber said.
"Go on then." Nav urged.
"I apologise." Bomber said, outstretching her hand.
Nav looked at it for a moment. The rest of the bridge watched on waiting for a reaction. Nav took Bombers hand and shook it. They both smiled as the apology was accepted.
"Thanks Nav." Bomber said.
"You're welcome." Nav said back.
The bridge crew gave a sigh of relief. It was nice to see everyone getting along.
"I'd better go down and check on our CO." Swaine smiled as he left the bridge.
"Give him our wishes." Kate waved.
Swaine nodded. He didn't mind leaving the bridge as the bridge crew could usually look after themselves without his help. He was needed in the sick bay more right now. Mike needed him more even if there was a mystery he would love to solve.
