SONGS:
The crew on Hammersley was getting to know the new boat and crew. They love the new bigger boat compared to the old one. MacGyver loves the new bigger galley and is busy making blueberry muffins when Kate walks in.
"MacGyver, Mike wants to know if you can check out the radar, it's not working."
"Sure, but I have to be back here in ten minutes, got muffins in the oven."
"I can smell them," they walk out of the galley and up to the bridge.
"Any word on ET's replacement, X?"
"Nothing yet."
"Ok, this is the third problem since we left Cairns two weeks ago. Everything should have been double, even triple checked to make sure everything was working properly. They must have been in a hurry putting Hammersley together."
"They were."
"Well, they still should've warned fleet command about the delays," as they walked onto the bridge. MacGyver walked over to the radar to take a look.
"Sir, I suggest for now you stop the engines until the radar is working again because you don't want to hit a reef."
"Good idea, all stop."
"All stop," Spider said as the engines came to a stop. MacGyver got to work on the problem.
"AH... shit! The muffins!" MacGyver exclaimed.
"Where are they?" Spider asked.
"In the oven, just take them out and put them on the cooling tray, please."
"OK" Spider ran down to get the muffins out of the oven while MacGyver continued to try and find out what was wrong with the radar. She checked all the wiring and circuits.
"AH-ha! Found the problem," she said twenty minutes later.
"Can you fix it?" Mike asked.
" It will be temporary, but I suggest we return to Cairns and get the circuit boards and wires replaced."
"What do you mean?" Mike asked.
"Come here and I'll show you, Sir."
Mike got up from his chair and got on to the floor where MacGyver has the panel to the radar open.
"See this?" she pointed.
"Yes."
"And this?" she pointed to another circuit.
"Yes, they look different."
"Well done, give the man a Tim Tam" Everyone chuckled including Kate.
"They are, they're supposed to be the same this one here," she pointed to the first circuit.
"It's only half the strength of this one," she pointed to the second one. "They both should be the same. That is why this one shorted out, it couldn't handle the power, and that's what caused it to be partly melted," she said looking at Mike
"I'll contact Steve about this while you fix it the best you can," getting up from the floor.
"Sir, ask Commander Marshall to have all the other patrol boats check out their radar circuit boards as well just in case they might have the same problem."
"Good idea and a job well done."
"Thanks, Boss."
Mike went to call Steve about what happened.
Once MacGyver fixed the problem, Charge started the engines on Kate orders and they returned to Cairns.
Alarms were going off in the engine room. MacGyver went over to Charge's console to see what the problem is.
"I'll be down in the engine room, X, I suggest we drop back to one thousand until I can find out what is going on," MacGyver told her as she left the bridge.
"Good idea."
MacGyver went down to the engine room and saw that it was the bow thrusters, so she did a temporary fix on them as well before returning to the bridge.
"What was it?" Charge asked.
"Bow thruster Charge, when we do dock get the marine techs to go over every inch of this boat and get the bow thrusters fixed. I did a temp job for now."
"Good work MacGyver."
"Thanks, X, now if you'll excuse me I'm going to get a brew and then start getting dinner on, that is so long as nothing else goes wrong,'' she walks down the steps with a toolbox in hand.
"I'm glad she's here, X," Charge said.
"I agree, but we do need electrical tech on board."
"True."
As soon as they returned to Cairns, the tech guys walk on board.
Mike asked MacGyver to talk to the techies and let them know all that she found wrong. After talking with the techs, she handed out the work orders and then left for home.
Three days later Hammersley left for its patrol after MacGyver checked everything over that needed to be fixed that was on her list. She was pleased with all but the bow thrusters and she told Mike and Charge about it before Hammersley left port.
Two months later there was still one problem after another. MacGyver was running off her feet fixing things as well dealing with medical side with Swain and doing the cooking. When she finished fixing the next problem she walked up the steps looking tired.
"MacGyver, you look tired," Spider said.
"Gee thanks, I wonder why."
Mike turned in his chair, "Why don't you go and get a good night's rest."
"Thanks, Sir. One more thing, Sir, next time something else goes wrong with this ship we going back to homeport Boss and ask Commander Marshall for an electrical tech. I only can do so much."
"We do appreciate the work you have done when we return I'll shout you a beer," Mike said.
"And dinner and chocolates," she says with a grin.
"Don't push it, MacGyver."
"Well, then don't you think I deserve it? Or two bottles of wine and ice cream, your choice, Sir."
Mike looked around the room then to MacGyver," Or, dinner and chocolates."
"Good choice sir, now I'm going to get some shut-eye." as she was turning around to leave the bridge she yelled out, "Chinese food and dark chocolate."
Mike looks at a grinning Kate
"X, you find what she said amusing?"
"We all do, at least she wasn't swearing and cursing"
"True"
The next morning they were ordered to Samaru island to pick up four UN peacekeepers things been unsettled in the past couple of months. When they reach the bay, everyone was on alert. Mike was on the side deck with the controls and X when the alarms from Charge's panel sounded. MacGyver went over to see where it was coming from
"Shit, I'm on my way down, let the Captain know," she ran off the bridge while Charge went to let Mike know.
"Sir, the bow thrusters aren't working, MacGyver's onto it."
"I hope she can get it fixed or we are going to be sitting targets," Mike said.
"I know, Sir."
"Keep me posted."
"Yes, Sir," he said as he returned to his console. The alarm stops flashing.
A few minutes later, Macgyver was back up on the bridge and stepped outside to talk to the Captain. "Fixed the problem, Sir."
"Thanks, MacGyver, there's no way we can dock to get those men out of there, X"
"RHIBS, Sir," MacGyver suggested.
"Good idea, X, call boarding stations"
"Hands to Boarding Stations, Hands to Boarding Stations," she and MacGyver left the bridge to gear up.
When two HRIBS reach the wharf the men with the guns were stopping the four men from passing. Kate tried everything, Then the leader pointed his gun at the head of one of the men from the UN.
"Get out of here Navy! We don't want you here!"
"Hey, you!" MacGyver said the leader looked at her as she stepped forward raising her gun as she put the safety on.
"We are here for those men and then we will leave!"
"You leave now!" MacGyver passes her handgun to Buffer.
"No! You need it!"
"Buffer take my gun!" she said not taking her eyes off the leader.
"Do it Buffer!" Kate said.
MacGyver raised both hands to show she unarmed as she stepped forward until she was standing in front of the leader who then pointed his gun at her chest.
Mike and the ones on the bridge were watching the whole thing and were holding their breath.
"She's crazy..." Nav said.
"I know, but she will die trying to do her job," Mike said.
"All we want are those men and we will go, we won't fire upon you unless we have to. All we want is those men. As you can see I am unarmed does that prove to you that we are not interested in interfering with your war, we just want to get out the ones who caught in the crossfire. That is all"
"What about your ship, your Navy," he nudges with his head.
"X, lower your weapon and order the others to do the same"
"Lower your weapons," Kate said.
Then the leader lowered his. Stepping forward she put her hands on his shoulders "Wise man, a leader."
"Let them go," he ordered his men. The four men came forward and one of them started talking.
"Sir, I suggest you shut up and go and get into the RHIB."
"Now you listen to me!" he said to MacGyver.
"Sir, if you want to live, get into the RHIB now!"
"Sir, please, this way," Buffer said stepping towards the stubborn man.
The guy turned and followed Buffer and the others to the RHIB. MacGyver turned to the leader and nodded her head.
"Now we will leave and good luck in fighting your war, Sir. She turned around and joined everyone in the RHIBS.
"MacGyver what you did took guts," Buffer told her.
"Thanks, but I know I'm in trouble with the captain. But don't worry about it, let's just get out of here."
"Good idea, then home!"
"Yeah."
Once Hammersley left Samaru Island, Mike went to greet his guests.
"I'm Mike Flynn, Captain of Hammersley, welcome aboard."
"Ray Walsmen, my colleagues and I thank you."
"No worries there Ray, mind if I ask you what you were doing on the island?"
"Business, Captain."
"Ok, and it's Mike, Ray." then MacGyver stepped onto the boat deck, as she does there was a loud noise.
"Not again! What the hell can it be now? Those damn useless techs should be bloody fired! The useless bunch." MacGyver ranted as she went to the hatch. Everyone that there watching as they heard every word.
"She's one hell of a sailor, the way she stood up to the leader. That took guts."
"I saw what happened," Mike replied.
"what's her name?"
"Leader June McGinnis, MacGyver as we call her."
"MacGyver... what an unusual name."
"She's an unusual sailor, one of a kind Ray. Buffer, Spider, show our guests down to the austere please."
"This way sir," Buffer said.
"MacGyver will fix something up for you as soon as she takes care of whatever problem there is."
"She's a cook?" Ray asked.
"Chef, yes, and engineer and electrician and many other talents, the Navy's very lucky to have her."
"Your right, Mike."
