Connor stopped walking when he heard someone yell 'blue' and back tracked until he was back to where the offices were at. He cocked his head to the side a bit at the sign on the door Deli was standing in front of. She got an office? That was a surprise to him, though maybe that was where she stored all of the C4. "Hey Deli." He greeted after shaking his head to clear away the thoughts. "Um, no thanks, I don't like gummy bears. If you have sour worms or belts then give me a call." He said with a chuckle, putting his hands into the pockets of his jumpsuit.

A strange smell drifted to his nose and he made a face while giving the air a few sniffs. "Is that...burning hair?" He asked, frowning at Deli and glancing over at the door. "What are you doing in there? Or do I not want to know?" He questioned with a small teasing grin. 

He shifted awkwardly on his feet, rubbing the back of his neck before pointing his thumb over his shoulder. "Listen, I hate to just dart out of here but I've really got a lot of work to do on these pods. I've already wasted enough time getting dragged to the infirmary because I sliced my arm open." He said, jerking his bandaged arm a bit so Deli would see what he meant. He hoped he didn't sound too rude, the last thing he wanted was to offend someone in charge of explosives. 

"So, I'll talk to you later, okay?" He flashed another smile and lifted his hand into a small wave before turning to head back over to Loretta. He trotted up the loading bay ramp into the small ship and stopped by the cockpit first to make sure that the mining pod system was still disconnected from the [i]Copernicus[/i]'s. The last thing he needed right now was the engine mysteriously turning on again. 

The thought of it made him frown as he walked back to the engine bay. He would definitely have to talk to not only Reese but his mechanics about that particular glitch. If it could even be called that. He didn't know much about software but he did know these pods like the back of his hand. It wasn't as though there was just one on and off switch to turn these machines on like that. It took a series of 'switch flipping' so to speak to turn on the engine, mostly because it would be a hell of a safety hazard. 

Maybe he had better let the man know now, especially before he crawled back into the engine.

With that thought in mind he pulled out his tablet, as he wasn't really sure if Reece was still in the hangar or not. [b][i]Mr. Reece, it's Connor. There was a bit of a mishap with Loretta. While I was working on the engine, the ship basically activated itself. It might be best to talk about it in person, so I'm in the engine bay when you have a free moment.[/i][/b] 

After sending the message he put his tablet away and climbed down the ladder back into the engine compartment.
