Helene Leigh Wilson (TheatreGirl21) moved:
Helene tried to swallow her stomach back down and waited for the bridge to stop spinning. “Yes ma'am…” Helene unstraps herself from her chair. When she stands her legs give way. She catches herself on the edge of her chair before she hits the ground with her face. “Right away ma'am.” Helene stumbles down the corridors trying not to lose her lunch on the crew members she passes. How are they running around so fast?
When Helene finally gets to the corridor leading to the engine room she can smell it. Smoke. With all the will in her she makes a run for it. When the door opens she’s hit by the wall of gray fog. Her skilled eyes scan the room as fast as she can. Finally she spots it. It’s coming for the new cooling system. It must have shut down the entire generators? It shouldn’t have…
Pulling the grating off and she reaches a hand up into the long tube where the razor sharp blades wait. There doesn’t seem to be anything…wait. What is that? Her hand brushes against something. Fabric? She pulls it out. It’s a jumpsuit, but it’s not a uniform. At least not the one of The Heroditus. Checking that the fans spin correctly she replaces the grating. Just to be sure she checks around the rest of the engine room. Engine itself is pretty as ever, purring like it should, but there’s something hanging in the middle of it. She goes to get her wrench. Her tool box is already open though…had she left it like that? Looks like a couple things are missing. Grabbing the wrench she replaces the dangling piece. The generator kicks back on.
She looks at the jumpsuit she had pulled out. I should show that to the Cap… she thinks. Snatching it off the floor she makes a run for the bridge.

Re: The River
I know not what life is, nor death.
Year in year out-all but a dream.
Both Heaven and Hell are left behind;
I stand in the moonlit dawn,
Free from clouds of attachment.
