"Hey Lief, you seen this thing?"

I heard Whisk's voice echoing around the scrapyard after the newest drop-off had arrived. There was an excitement in his voice, its prominence only matched by the clunks and clangs of various metals, wires, and other assorted junk being tossed about.

"Watcha got this time?" I asked, curious what could have gotten Whisk so riled up.

"It's like some kinda creature!" he replied.

Slightly taken aback, I made my way through the junk scattered across the yard. After almost tripping on an atomic accumulator and a half-chewed nucleometer, I found my stalwart workfellow just standing there in awe. As I turned to face his discovery, I realized why his reaction had been so animated.

The yard doesn't often acquire anything exotic or extraordinary. The usual fare consists of some junk cargo hoppers and hatches, run-down engine blocks, various rusted-out computer or exhaust systems, and maybe an occasional stripped vessel. Most of the valuable stuff gets taken by vultures out in the belt, so it's pretty rare to find a full ship in one of these deliveries.

"It's... a bug?" I looked toward the oil-matted face of my shaggy colleague.

"Thing's almost all intact! I becha we could fixer up, goodas new. Whattaya say, kid?"

"I ain't a kid, pops. You think you got the tools to pull this off?"

"Hey... it's me." Whisk's eyes were twinkling with something I hadn't seen before. The jab at his age didn't even phase him this time. "C'mon, help me with the crane."

"Alright then, guess I ain't got a choice." I smirked.
