Chapter 2: starfleet earth - the alien mechanic girl

It had been almost a week after being forced to leave my homeland, earth. Those aboard the ship were extremely tense. I knew how they felt but kept to myself.
"Attention all decks, at 0600 hours tomorrow, we will be rejoining the main fleet at space colony 35. I know that you're all extremely upset about earth, as I feel the same, but we mustn't let those feelings get to us. Good luck�
Those words seemed to soothe my mind, and I headed towards the bridge. As I passed the mess hall I noticed something different about one of the crew; she had long cat like ears, and a tail to match. I didn't think much of it at first, and I carried on towards the bridge.
The two guards stood sharp as I walked up the ramp towards the bridge doors
"you don't have to do that you know, you can be more relaxed you know" I smiled and walked on through
"Yessir" they both said in harmony.

"Ah, kauru, what brings you here?"
"Nothing really, just wanted to check on things"
"I see, well everything's going ok, but the morale of the crew still seems low"
"True, ill see what I can do to help. By the way, I couldn't help but notice that one of your crewmembers is, well, different" I said
"So you've noticed her, huh"� the captain smiled "nice girl, does what she's supposed to, without any fuss, and still has time to play around. Her names misty, and she's the only alien aboard this ship. She's also the chief engineer, you two would get along pretty well"
I smiled and left the bridge,
"I guess ill go say hi"
I made my way to hanger B and had a look around, then noticed an ion fusion drive unit, designed for small craft, it was a wreck "jeez, they have my original on here too?! Damn, and look at it, it"s totally trashed"� I looked around for some tools and started repairing it.

"AHHHHHHH! What are you doing?" someone shouted from behind me.
"I'm replacing the booster coil, what does it look like?" I said as I clambered out from underneath the drive unit. "Ah, your...misty right?"
"Yeah, but why are you messin with my ion drive? And do you even know what Ur doing?"� she said coldly
"huh, I...well...I designed them, so obviously I'm gonna know what to do right"
She smirked "that's impossible. Coz that would make ya, over 1500 years old"
"Wow, my age really doesn't show through does it, heheh" I smiled
"Y-you! Why you, get off my deck, now!" she yelled
"Hey, I'm being serious, my names kaloki kauru, the general-director of the G.O.S.D"� I replied quickly
"You, you were serious back then weren't you"� her face gave a shocked look
"Yes, I was serious. Anyway, ill let it slide this time"� I offered my hand "anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you misty, just call me kauru, Kay" I smiled as I said this. She took my hand
"Y-yeah, nice to meet you" she seemed to blush slightly, but I didn't pay much attention.
"Anyway misty-chan. why do you have an original 2500 model ion drive, when theirs much more powerful models out there?"
"Its coz it's the most reliable. Plus this one is the original of the originals. The first one, therefore I think the best"� she replied with a smile
"Ill take that as a compliment, but you do know, this was actually the first one I actually revealed, its not the actual original, the original was, smaller, less powerful, and was made in my bedroom, in England" as I finished her head dropped.
"I guess they gave me the wrong info huh"
"No, this is 'the' original, just not the first of its kind. Although, I think it needs some TLC, don't you?"
She looked at me
"Uh, huh. I guess so"
"Tell ya what, ill help ya, fix her up, then ill show ya how to upgrade it properly. Trust me. When were finished it'll be as good as, if not better than, the newest one on the market"
Her face lit up
"Really, YAAY!"


And so started the friendship of the alien mechanic girl, and the human general that has several secrets still to reveal. So look out for the next chapter.
