“Once there, Marten used the recovery arm to remove the broken drone from the bay and transfer it to the loading area. Hamilton had told him some of the details of what was going on, but not the whole thing. But what he had told him was enough to convince him to get his own back at the people that had effectively killed his career. It took a surprisingly long time for Marten to move the drone. There was an apparent malfunction with the arm which meant Specialist Paulson had to go out and make so...me modifications and adjustments to the arm. Inside Paulson’s suit, Hamilton opened an inspection hatch here, an access panel there, and pretend to be fixing the perfectly functional arm. At the same time as he was doing that a second suit clad figure, this time Tech Officer Williams from the Ulysses, ran a fiber optic link between the maintenance craft and the recycling facility, connecting in to one of the myriad of ports that surrounded the loading area’s personnel lock. Once done, he returned to the maintenance vessel whilst Hamilton continued to stall for time pretending to fix the recovery arm.MoreLessRead More Read Less
