"Almost got it...." cybernetic fingers barely grazed the bolt, causing it to wobble as if taunting her. Said bolt was a runaway that had escaped into the smaller spaces of the shuttle. Now the escapee was cornered and close to capture. "Come on...." Fingers brushed the bolt just enough to roll it forward and.. "Got it!" Riley sat up on her knees, holding the rogue bolt in her hands. The small victories were sometimes the best.
The loose bolt made its way back with the others that held a hydraulic hose in place. Normally dropping a single bolt wouldn't be a problem, just one more thing to add to the list. A list that was a parsec long and growing. The mounting cost was another painful issue, enough so that their shuttle, and all its rogue bolts, was grounded due to lack of fuel. What the twins needed was a job, which was easier said than done considering how specific their job skills were. Mercenaries and medics were in high demand these days, but the pay wasn't exactly the best. Especially in the backwater planets they tended to find themselves in.
Riley entered the common room and sat down at the table. "Well, that's done. Almost lost a bolt to the ship." She glanced down at her cybernetics. They were definitely starting to show signs of wear and tear. They needed fixed, but they didn't have the credits for it now. Her attention turned back to Laura. "So, any luck on your end?"
