"I don't know what you are talking about…old man", Aiden said, trying to cover up his nervousness. Oh god..what did he know now...if he gets to know one secret then the whole planet will know about it. Aiden was washed away by his thoughts while Aldric cleared his throat on the other side of the phone to grab his attention. "I'm damn sure that you helped Kevin to steal my OSCB (Orano Space Control Board) access card!!! You people never know the seriousness at all!!!", Aldric started to yell as he was pissed as hell. Uh, old man… you're late at finding things! Aiden gasped in relief as this was nothing related to the strange object out there. "Uh!! I don't know about this, old man. You should probably ask your angelic son about this", Aiden said, giggling at him. "You culprit, I'll talk to you both later! So any updates on Speedy's recovery?", Aldric asked in a serious and anxious tone. Aiden paused for a second, "It's gonna be fine, Arnar is in the lab testing something to fix Speedy's wings. The ship will be ready tonight", he said, assuring Aldric. " Better, because you're flying for your vacation early in the morning tomorrow", Aldric reminded him about the vacation while Aiden heaved a deep sigh, "FINALLY!". Aldric giggled at the other end of the phone and cut off the call. Digging his phone in his jeans pocket, Aiden walked inside the lab to see everyone busy working on something. Dr. Arnar looked a bit tensed as he was stirring something on his conical flask. "Ar, is everything alright? Do you need anything else?", Aiden asked, studying his experiment closely. Some kind of boiling sensation starts to appear on the flask which looks weird. "NOOOO, AIDEN!! JUST STEP AWAY! LISTEN TO YOUR BRO!!!". Suddenly Kevin's yelling voice came from the corner of the room which frightened Aiden. Zara was squatting in the opposite corner of the room with her hands covering her ears tightly. Aiden stared at them puzzled and then all of a sudden…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
A blasting sound loaded the air around them. "Ahhhhhh!!!", Aiden screamed…
THUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDD!!!
as he fell to the ground in an abrupt shock. The air was filled with grey smoke while Dr. Arnar was staring at the smoked conical flask in his hand. "Uhh!!", Aiden got up from the floor after a long struggle and finally stood up, gripping the table near him. "What the fu** just happened?", Aiden yelled in confusion, trying to see behind the smoke. Kevin and Zara got up from the corners and approached the table with small steps, observing the surroundings carefully. "Ah! Should we take this as a victory or...", Kevin was about to say something but before he could complete, "YAAAAAASSSSSSSSS!!!!", Arnar yelled in excitement. "ahh!! Someone explain. My head is twirling in 360…", Aiden said, tapping on the table nearby, impatiently. Arnar removed his laboratory masks and gloves, leaving them on the table. He turned to look at Aiden "It's a spectacular victory!!!", he said with a victorious smile on his face. "What? I don't get it…", Aiden asked with a confused look on his face. "Aid, this is an alloy testing experiment to check the durability by mixing our ingredients with the chemical compound that corroded the ship", Zara explained to Aiden pretty quickly as he nodded at her. "Fortunately we are successful and it's just a few astrominutes for Speedy's amazing outlook", Arnar said with a lot of enthusiasm on his face. Zara and Kevin's faces brightened with joy. "That's amazing!!! What's next?", Kevin sounded impatient, fixing his eyes on Arnar and waiting for his reply. "Well, we should start fixing the metal parts and patch up with these alloy glues. Also, I have made them extra so have them in the ship's storage when you leave for your vacation. It might be handy", Aiden and others nodded at Arnar. "Let's get going then", Aiden urged and everyone moved out of the lab with the necessary things in the cart.
In the Speedy 127, everyone settled the things and started repairing the damaged parts. "Where are Robbie and Tobbie?", Aiden asked Kevin as he looked around his space shuttle. "Uh! Arnar has sent them to the Spares Godown located in the West loco", Kevin informed him as he continued to unlock the buckles of the West wing door. "Alright! Do you need a hand there, Ar?", Aiden asked as he saw Arnar trying to grab the large fuel motors all alone. "It's fine, Aiden. Just get the spares fitted properly when the bots bring them here, okay?", Arnar instructed him as he was fixing something in the ship's wall. Aiden nodded and sat on the couch in the Main Control Room, waiting for the spare parts. In the meantime, he kept scrolling his tab book. "Lucy, can you check the missing parts of the ship?", Aiden asked Lucy as he studied the physical status of Speedy 127 on the screen before him. "Anything for my captain!", Lucy started the physical analysis process in the background screen. Aiden smiled at Lucy's lovely tone as he noted a little information from the bright white screen. "Here is the list of the missing or damaged parts in our ship!", Lucy notified as a set of names popped on the main screen.
"FUEL TANK HOLDER WITH TANK SUBSTITUTES"
"THREE LAYERS OF OUTWALL"
"ONE INNER LAYER OF THE FUEL TANK SHEET"
"SECONDARY PROPELLER OF THE FIRST SECTION AND SECOND SECTION"
"MAIN PRESSURE PROPELLER'S THIRD WING"
"A FEW PRESSURE AND GRAVITY WIRES DAMAGED!"
Lucy listed out the damaged parts as Aiden cross-checked them, "Thanks, sweetheart!". In a few moments, Robbie and Tobbie enter the spaceship pulling a heavy cart of parts with them. "Captain, Dr. Arnar ordered these!", Tobbie informed, pausing near Aiden. "Take them and follow me we are gonna fix these", Aiden instructed them as he walked through the rooms to the west wing.
After a few astrohours, outside the Speedy 127, everyone stood in the parking space. Everyone's eyes fixed at the spacecraft, "mmm…", Kevin hummed and moved a step close to the ship's outer wall. "Does this look okay, Aiden?", Arnar turned to Aiden and asked in doubt. "Well, this looks…"
