She was fidgeting and nervously tapping as they maneuvered through space and further from the academy. One set of eyes was glued to the screen showing a proximity of the other ships, the other flitted between the slow progress of the percentage bar and the rapid movements of her co-conspirator. She knew to trust him with the computers of the ship, but she was feeling antsy and useless right now.

“... Remove the limitations on max warp speed…” her mind flipped a switch. She knew just which valves directed the energy into which engines for warp. She had watched the warp coils intently during the field class, the way things moved and changed directions when shifting between speeds, it was hypnotizing and intoxicating. And one of the few classes she had gotten a natural high grade in.

“I can do this…” she muttered under her breath, “I know what I can do.” He was right that it was going to cause some damage, but glancing at the download bar it was going too slowly. They wouldn't be able to lose the other academy ships in time. Her hands flew to the straps and buckles holding her to her seat. “ Meeloh, don't do anything extra stupid.” She grinned wide as she threw herself from her chair, “that's my job! I'm heading down to the engine room, if I can divert the plasma flow from the condensers straight into the coils it's gonna get hot, but we should get to speed quicker. Wish me luck Glows.” She took off, tearing down the halls sliding into the engine room where she immediately began prodding things and turning cranks and flipping levers.
