Luca crawled through the access tunnels towards the Subspace Relay maintenance chamber while carrying his toolbox by his side. He opened the hatch and entered the room. The walls around him were filled with dials and small indicator lights. He opened his toolbox and picked up a cyrosensor. He activated the device and began scanning the room. As he reached one of the machines with the cyrosensor it began beeping and flashing orange.

He put the device on his utility belt before starting to search through the toolbox after a microoptic drill. He took the drill and started to open the maintenance panel on the broken machine. He activated the magnetic coupler and attached the metal panel to the drill’s front. He slowly slid out the panel and put it on the ground next to him. 

As expected behind the panel there were rows and rows of optolythic data rods. Before starting to touch the panel he pressed the power switch for the unit. He studied each data rod quickly before pulling out the ones that appeared to be broken and carefully putting them into the toolbox. As he was looking inside the toolbox he picked up an optronic coupler and began repairing each of the rods. 

After the rods were repaired he slid them back into the empty slots and pressed the power switch again to activate the unit. He picked up his cyrosensor from his utility belt and activated it again, instead of beeping and flashing orange it was a steady green light. He deactivated the device and put it back into the toolbox.

He picked up the panel and began reattaching it to the device with the drill. He deactivated the drill and put it into his toolbox. He grabbed a small Bipolar Torch and welded the panel stuck. He picked up all tools and put them back into the toolbox before starting to move back to the main engineering bay through the access tunnels seeing as the job was done. 

Once he was in the main engineering bay he locate a computer interface and began typing out the report.

    This was an enjoyable introductory story for Luca Di Stéfano! I appreciated how descriptive and visual you are in your writing. Star Trek is all a made up world of tech the tech and flashing lights, but I was easily able to imagine the scene you described. Your specificity with the tools made the world of Starbase Bravo feel very textured and lived-in. Even without dialogue, I was able to follow the progress of the story from context clues. Gotta love when a computer flashes green. I can't wait to read more from Luca!
