This was so not turning out to be a good day.

Okay, so they were stuck. In some random part of the ship that he'd never seen before, and they couldn't go back. And just to make it all better, none of their omnicomms or communication rings were working.

Which was why Marco was now sitting at the tables in the new mess hall, fiddling around with his omnicomm in an attempt to get the stupid thing to actually work. He was guessing it was some kind of hardware thing, which sucked, because Marco was better at messing with software than hardware.

Why the hell wasn't Ax here? He at least would know how to fix the damn thing. Ax could fix anything.

And as if to prove Marco's point, while he was poking at one of the wires the omnicomm sparked, causing Marco to let loose a flurry of curses.

What...what did monkeys have to do with anything? Was he expecting to find monkeys? Or should Barbara expect to find a group of sign waving monkeys whilst on board?

She took back the omnicom, feeling over it with her fingers as she watched him work. "I simply thought that I might be the one out of the loop, that someone else would know."

Everything, Barbara. Everything.

Marco snorted. "No way. On this ship, hoping that someone else actually knows what the hell is going on is usually way too much to hope for."

"You'll have to excuse me," Barbara cringed at his language again but covered it up by putting the omnicom away. "I'm still quite new. I've been told that strange things happen but this is the first I've experienced."
