Up above on the catwalk, Zasz caught a glimpse of the naked streak that was his redheaded mechanic. "One down, one to go, sir," said Alex in her typically active voice through the communicator that he'd given her prior. Zasz was able to listen in with those earlier mentioned dampeners implanted in his inner ear but was incapable of replying apart from shouting up at the woman, which he had no intention of doing just yet. Instead, he'd take the momentary peace to conduct a more thorough examination of his ship's systems. Without his helmet, such a task was executed inefficiently, but Zasz could fall back upon his cybernetic eye, which allowed him better access than sitting in front of a terminal.
Subspace engines were operating at seventy-five percent capacity propelling the Greenhouse away from the initial site of the attack. Honestly, Zasz was surprised they hadn't burned out yet, but he supposed that with the hyperspace engines drawing next to no power that most systems were free to suck up on the excess energy that was rarely available. Speaking of, he opened up a diagnostic on the hyperspace drives and almost had himself a laugh at the results. Those fighters had nearly bombed the engines to the point of critical degradation. As it stood, the Greenhouse was unable to perform long distance jumps. To travel anywhere substantial the aid of warp gates would be required. Hell, it would take weeks of subspace flight at maximum output simply to make it to one of them, and that was only to get them to a station for repairs. All in all, the Greenhouse was rather crippled in the void of dead space. On the bright side, the containment cells were fully functional, to which Zasz inwardly twirled a finger at the weak silver lining.
"Second one won't be as easy," Alex chimed in again, her worried tone coming in crystal clear over the comm along with the intense hissing in the background. "I'll...uh. I'll get back to you in a tick." Zasz snapped to the present, pushing off worrying about the future and instead focussing on the safety of his companion. Head darting every which way for the best means to ascend to the second floor, the captain settled on locking his magnetic clamps to the exterior of one of the many metal cylinder storage tanks. Leaping once he was high enough, Zasz managed to reach the location Alex used to breach the pair of ships. Only then did the towering male stagger for a moment, clutching for the nearest railing to support his massive frame.
A combination of sleep deprivation, mental exhaustion through chemical manipulation, and pushing his limits consistently in the past couple of events meant that Zasz was reaching his monumental limits. There was still so much to do, but rest was not an option, no matter how nice it sounded right about now. Pushing onward, he pressed those thick gauntlets of his into the rigid door of the ship inadvertently sending a shudder through it. "Alex, if I have to drag you out of there and save your ass yet again, I'll be quite cross with you." Of course, he was joking around. He did wonder for a moment if she could even hear his tired, gruff grumbling past the barrier. Zasz felt oddly attached to the one individual he hadn't thrown into a cage in months, and if he had to tear the vessel piece by piece with his bare hands to rescue the mechanic he'd do just that.
