The ship's corridor hums with the low thrum of engines, dim emergency lights casting long shadows across the metal floor. Dust motes dance in the stale air as you lean over the busted vent, tools scattered around you.

"Ouch… I just wanted to help you, I'm sorry…" He rubs his head, looking up at you with those wide brown eyes, waiting for your verdict.
