"Alright boys and girls, we'll be sleeping in this section of the ship." Raynor said. "Thankfully, this is the one section of the ship that isn't a mess. Not thankfully is the fact that this is debatably the least important part of the ship."
There were three rooms for the living quarters. Each with two bunks, a bathroom, a shower and a few other accommodations.
"Okay. So see these "beds" here? You can actually adjust how they feel." Raynor said as he waved over to a contraption by the bedside. "We got blankets and such pretty much in every room so don't worry about that. Oh right, the air conditioner is broken so if it's too hot or too cold, tough luck until we can get it fixed."
"What else is broken?" Cap asked as he took a look around.
"We got water and such, but we lost power to a good section of the ship including engineering which is the one section I want to get fixed ASAP. Power in general is actually the big issue. We don't have any permanent damage that we can't fix, but it's fairly extensive and spreads to many areas of the ship. So far, navigation is down. So is life support, power in some areas and we probably ain't getting the engines repaired any time soon."
"Do we have the means to repair this fine machine of yours?" Slade asked as he took a look around.
"We do. And it's just so fine for us, that we actually have the materials all over the place."
"Really? These... pe.. I mean ponies don't really seem to be the type of people who'd have some technology found in space." Steve commented as he took a look at one of tablets and at that point, he felt like a caveman with a Rubix cube. This of course, was a guy who still couldn't figure out how to use his smartphone.
"It's not that. The story is, that long ago, this guy discovered that we can use minerals to be melted down and built into more useful things. Yes. Minerals. Just minerals. Something about their properties which I really don't understand. But you know what this place is chalk full of? Minerals."
"Umm... Mr. Raynor... how does this work?" Armin asked as he picked up a tablet.
"That kid, is a tablet. We use them to store information."
"Store information?"
"Think of it like a book... I am assuming you have books wherever you're from, now think that this one thing has a few million of them stored in it's memory."
"Memory?"
"It's complicated business kid." Slade said. "But how it works is that we can essentially upload... text into this thing that you can use later."
"Okay... how does it work?"
"I'll show you later." Raynor replied. "Alright guys, this next place, Doc, you'll probably love this."
He led them down a round hall to the other end of the ship where sections of damage became more evident. Some times, a wall would have some circuits blown straight out. Other times, a light or a few lights would be out or flickering but to this, no one truly cared. Maybe to the likes of Slade and Cap, they had all seen something along these lines, but still, it was like comparing a calculator to a smartphone.
To Medic, it was almost movie like. This is what they got in the 26th century and you know what? He was pretty damn impressed. He REALLY wanted to see the next place.
To Sanya, she'd been on many ships, just not the ones that can fly or had things that would make even the most advanced computing deceive in 1943 look like a potato in complexity. Of course, she never said anything about this or even as much as expressed the secret amazement and wonder deep below. She could only take a look at the device that Raynor was carrying, which was rather similar to the devices that both Steve and Slade had in their pockets, just... more advanced.
And to Armin. All of a sudden, he wondered just how half this was even possible. Automatic doors weren't a thing in his world. Running water wasn't either. Automatic guns? Nope. Actually, pretty much everything aboard this vessel had no place in his world. He was like a caveman first discovering fire.
"Alright everyone, and here's the infirmary. It really ain't much actually... but I am pretty confident doc that you can turn it into something."
Yeah....
"Oooh... I can... may I borrow one of your tablets for my research? I vood very much vell need a place to keep my research on SCIENCE."
"Alright doc. There's one waiting for you but as I said, I'll show you how the thing works later. Um, sorry about the mess."
That was the understatement of the century considering all the broken glass and chemicals all littered in this one room. It was miracle to how one would even step in here without any shoes and not get cut up or slip in a puddle of chemicals. (These chemicals were medicine and therefore "safe" and probably won't burn your foot off.)
"Ah... ja. I can clean zis place up. Now zen, if you all excuse me, I got vork to do."
With that, he closed the door and the sounds of progress would soon be heard coming from that room.
"And this here is the bridge. And this is what I'd call the... um... nav map... except we can use it locally too. Like for this planet." Jim said as he tapped the thing. "And this is the one part where we don't have power to the most important thing on this darn ship. You see, I can get this thing to tell me the layout of the entire planet! Only problem is..."
"It's broken." Armin said pointing out the obvious.
"Yep. And we oughta fix it. Thankfully, it's not the actual device that's broken or it'd be broken for good as I wouldn't know how to fix it. It's just the power that's cut off in this area. We'll have to fix it, we got the tools, but we don't have the parts. And now, it's probably time to get said parts."
"Okay. But first, I still got to get my van." Slade said. "And I think Star-spangled man here is missing his motorcycle."
"Alright then. Armin, mind going to town and getting me some of the things we need?"
"What? Why me?"
"Cause I know I am going to probably need Sanya's help. Here, take this." Raynor said tossing him a small purse containing bits. "The Princesses gave me an... allowance. Just go into town, buy me all the minerals that gets you, and bring it back here."
"Here. I'll come and get you." Slade said. "Chances are, if you bring back the big haul, you can load it in the van."
"Oh right. Once we can fix this part, we can get to the good stuff." Raynor began as he took a look at his tablet on the ship. "You see, I'll see if we can't get the bar restored."
"The bar?"
"Yeah. Don't ask why, but there's a bar on this ship. We got plenty of cold drinks for anyone who wants it. By "bar" I mean dining room that a bunch of old pirates turned into a bar but it's a pretty nice place. Let's get that place up next after we fix the power to the whole ship."
"So... this computer, power and then bar?" Armin asked.
"Yeah. You want a drink not made from apples? Then let's hurry this place up and we can all get some cold beer."
