"Little more," Covey calls, watching as the NMU takes a step back, the arm hydraulics letting out a whine as the pilot pulls on the cable. The Sturgeon smoothly rolls across the hangar deck amidst a crowd of colored pressure suits.
"Right there!" Covey throws a thumbs-up to the pilot, the NMU's visor swiveling up to reveal the face of Vance, faintly flushed from the heat of the hardsuit systems. She takes a deep drink from the water reservoir before retracting the tow cable, stepping back to watch the cargo crane's load block slowly lower from the hangar ceiling track.
Vance turns slightly when her HUD points out Stratis coming up on her left. "Already having fun with it?" He asks, coffee in hand. Vance lets off a quiet chuckle, looking down and rotating her arms, the hardsuit moving in tandem.
"Just haven't been in an NMU in a while- or, well, a military one," she replies, turning to look down at the lieutenant.
"Hell of a catch by Naylor," Vance continues. "Just sucks that Shelter doesn't bother with better cooling even in the naval model."
Stratis shrugs. "At least it'll help until we get the cranes standardized." Vance lets off a tired chuckle.
"Tell me about it, fun as it is to walk around in this, I feel like a damned boiled lobster," Vance huffs, stomping away from the Sturgeon's path as it's moved towards the launch pad.
