Upon opening the door to the maintenance hallway under the poop deck, I nearly run into Ria in my haste. "Whoops, sorry." Catching myself before run into her, I back up a few steps, and notice that it's quite hot in the maintenance hallway. [i]I've got to make it to the rear cannon, they're having actuation problems back there from overuse,[/i] I think to myself. I nod to the other man, and to Ria as well. [i]Probably should explain myself.[/i] I close the door behind me, before any of the torrential downpour has a chance to flood through it. "On my way to fix the rear cannon actuation. I may need some help, if you're willing to give it up, sir." I say to the head mechanic, and then turn to Ria. "Ma'am."
