@Joxer: You have but a lot of interesting ideas in your Review. Every idea would make a nice story. And if you put two of them together, you are very close to the thing that will happen in this story.

The next morning, Benjamin Krieg and Lucas were sitting in the mess hall and were eating breakfast. Lucas was very silent and thoughtful. The teenager appeared sad and depressed to the supply and morale officer.

The Lieutenant wanted to do something about that. "Hey Lucas, I have to do inventory of a few spares this morning. Do you have time to help me with that? It will be more fun with you and me together!"

The teenager nodded. "Yeah, no problem!" The boy hoped that this would take his mind off of things.

***************

30 minutes later, Ben and Lucas were in a little room on B-deck and they were counting spares. No, that wasn't quite right; the teenager was counting and Krieg was writing the numbers on a list.

"Okay, how many electric modules do we have?" asked Ben.

The teenager glanced questioningly at the Lieutenant and looked around the room. "I don't know and I don't know where those things could possibly be. You could really tidy up this room from time to time!"

"Hey, I know exactly where everything is! And by the way, your cabin doesn't look a whole lot better."

Lucas looked amusedly at the older man. "Ben, this is something totally different. I'm the only one that has to find something in my room. But in this room, everyone has to be able to find the spares they need. Oh and by the way, the untidiness in my cabin is intentional. Have you ever heard the quote 'only a true genius can control the chaos'?"

Krieg nodded and was laughing hard. "Oh I see, and with your cabin you tell us that you are a genius."

The teenager was laughing too. "If you want to put it that way, then I have to agree with you." The boy got serious again. "So, where are these electric modules, now?"

Ben pointed to the top of a shelf. "They are in the green box."

"Just great, I can't reach them. I'm not that tall!"

Ben was smiling from ear to ear. "Use a chair, genius!"

The boy gave a fake smile. "Oh thank you so much, I would have never had such a brilliant idea on my own." Lucas took the chair and put it in front of the shelf. Next, he climbed on it and looked into the box.

Suddenly the ship gave a big jerk and it everything was spinning crazily.

Lucas fell down from the chair and smashed to the ground.

Lieutenant Krieg was thrown head-first into the wall and he fell, unconscious, to the ground.

Before the teenager had the chance to stand up, he could see a shelve falling down on him. He lifted his left arm up to protect his head, and then felt unbelievable pain. Everything was becoming black around him...
