Nilje (pronounced nill-yeh) Voenyr (venn-ear, but with your lips rounded on the e) is the ship’s mechanic, who handles both hardware and software issues when they arise.

C’mon, you didn’t think you would get out of this chapter without a gratuitous shower scene, did you?
I was going to say this was our first repeat planet, but we’ve been to Mars twice, haven’t we?

This is the end of chapter 6. I’m honestly behind on my scripting, but I’ll try to have the next chapter at least ready enough for a cover by next week. I might be writing by the seat of my pants, though. (I usually go through three drafts of the entire chapter before the previous one ends.)
