Senior Sequential Engineer: Mathews

Restoration Project No. 146

Engine 6, S.Code: 423B, Sector 7C

Logging In: Davis Mathews, Leader of the Second Division

           

            System functions passed all adequate tests and examinations today. Significant improvement than last time. The cogs in the upper level ventilator are running smoothly. The viscous oil did the trick. The animatronic A-41B mentioned that in the beginning. Just learned the crew has taken to calling it Donny. Donny. Silly name for a robot with a metal face and no heartbeat.

            Engine room 6 on the lower reactor level has been acting up. The salvaged parts from the broken ships haven’t been doing it any good. Can’t get a good gear mold in this city. Sanctum. Sanctuary for all but the mechanics. I’ll have to melt down the metal to create my own gears to reduce the stress on the torque gauge. If that thing snaps half of the city might fall to the earth below.

            On a lighter note the hydraulic component, made up of copper pipes and brass bolts salvaged from ships that barely made it to the ports, is functioning, no problems. A-41B even commented, “This seems like a highly unsafe collective of apparatuses.” But she’s working like a charm. Need to keep an eye on the valves though; they might need a new alloy component.

            The wife is making steak tonight. Where she managed to get steak, I’ve no idea. The woman is resourceful.

As I'm not the mechanically verbose individual, I really struggle with this. The struggle bus picked me up and drove me away.
