Jim has a black eye today, courtesy of Gangrenous Talons, who fortunately doesn't live up to his name yet. It was because they caught him putting a part in where he'd already told them it wasn't supposed to go. They're catching on to him.
There's only so long you can drag out repairing one solar engine before the magog actually do start learning what goes where and how - and Jim's nearly at the end of his rope. But it's easy to be motivated when you know that as soon as you don't have anything left to teach the Magog, you'll be bearing their chestbursting young.
Not easy to stay sane, but . . .
Jim deals with that in other ways.
Unfortunately, Danny's out like a light and Chase has been moved, and there's no one to talk to but the girl in blue who's taken his place, and she doesn't look very talkative right now . . . but Jim just needs to talk to someone that much.
"Hey. Water-girl."
