Not flying
Оглавление– Hans, do you know where we are heading?
– Sure, sir!
– Where?
– Sector X14Y457!
– Where is it?
– In the system AW87Z478!
– Are you sure there is no error?
– Yes, sir!
– What?
– No, sir!
– Why is this light flashing then?
– We’ve got a failure, sir!
– So, we’re not flying anywhere, are we?
– No, sir!
– That is, if we were flying, then it would be to sector X14Y… What was there in the end?
– 457, sir!
– In the system AW and so on.
– Yes, sir!
– But at this very moment we are not flying at all!
– Not really, sir!
– When will we resume flying?
– I reckon, after we handle an incident, sir!
– Have we got an incident?
– Yes, sir! With the handle!
– We need to handle an incident with a handle?
– Yes, sir!
– Why, have we got an incident?
– You hung your cap on the switch handle for the emergency shutdown of the accelerator, sir!
– And?
– And it has shut down, sir!
– So why are you giving me all that shit? Put the ship control to manual mode, unblock the protection locker, lock the detection blocker, disarm the alarm system and prepare for the transition to Y-space!
– Yes, sir.
– And you know what?
– What, sir!
– Tie the handle of that switch to… to this pipe or something!
– Will do, sir!
