soit dit en passant ce n'est pas non plus un technicien qualifié :? , mais bon, là ça ne porte pas à conséquence

Allez, chose promise chose due, voici le numero 15

'I’ll go with you, sir!' I immediately said.
'I expected no less from you, Lian! Follow me.'
We rushed into the second swift lift. The captain programmed our destination. The acceleration of the swift lift stuck me against the wall while the captain managed to grip the opposite one.
'Lian, it seems your training will begin sooner than we thought. Since I cannot teach you the whole manual disconnection procedure in one minute, you'll have to precisely synchronise your moves with mine. Yet you must not act as if you were my mirror image. You must do the same gesture with the same hand as I do.'
The blue light suddenly turned red.
'Don't worry, Lian! We are almost there.'
The door opened and I noticed that its airlock was closed. It took us a few precious seconds to open this. We started to run along the main corridor. Every door was closed so we didn't have to jump across them. The captain eventually stopped and opened one of the airtight doors. Once more we were loosing very precious time, yet I admired the captain’s calm, which let him accomplish his task as quickly as one could. We began to climb down a technical corridor, but I had trouble keeping up with him. He looked like a purple spider creeping fast on his net, whereas I certainly had more in common with the prey stuck in it. The more I struggled with the walls and my new suit, the less my moves were efficient.
'Don't panic Lian! Keep your self-confidence! Just don't struggle with your grip. Make larger moves, put your whole body against the wall and slide along. It's a bit like swimming. Each move have to be coordinated by your mind. Think your body, and think your move, Lian!'
As I had learned when I was a child, I extended my perception to my whole body, felt nearly each muscle and went forth. We took a small access pipe, and entered a small space filled with cables, energy distributors and electronic devices. The captain headed to a mechanical control panel, and designated two twin manual control.
'Take this one and do exactly what I do.'
It was a very difficult exercise of concentration. Probably the hardest I had ever done. I completely forgot my being, I was him. My arms were doing exactly what his were doing, as if his spirit controlled them, as if we where the same being. I could almost predict his move just by seeing his current position. The whole work just took us a few seconds, then the harmony vanished.
'You are gifted, Lian! No one could have managed this without training. The cable is detached, but there are two others left and ...'
He didn't finish his sentence. The ship began to shake and a roar rose from the depths of the machinery. Captain Thyl rushed out and I followed him as fast as I could.
'Wise Metheus! We'll have to catch the gold shooting star!' He whispered. We were running and climbing, breathless. We reached another access pipe and opened it. Yet we felt the ship was taking off for good now.
'We wont have enough time to detach both cables left!' panted the captain.
'I'll take care of this one on my own! Go and detach the other,' I answered between two breaths.
'No, It's very hard even for an engineer.'
'We have no choice!'
I crawled into the pipe and made it through to the manual control panel. The captain had not followed me so I thought he was going to detach the third cable. I switched my mind in extended consciousness. I perfectly remembered every move of the precedent operation, and I could do exactly the same. Yet, nobody was doing the same on the second control panel, so I took one or two seconds to organise my actions. This was a succession of define sequences, I just had to complete one sequence on the first control panel and then do the same on the second one. My gestures were even faster than the first time. I rushed from one panel to the other and back. I did one mistake and lost one second to undo that. It was like a bit like reciting a text you've learn by heart at full speed. Suddenly a heavy shake pushed me down, and a sinister creak came from the ship’s structure. The cable was tight and held the ship. I jumped onto the control panel and executed the last operation as fast I my muscles could move, turned to the second control panel, while another creak rang through the room, and did the same actions. The ship was partially released and I was cast against the floor. A second move came just a few seconds later, and the acceleration flattened me against the wall. I didn't manage to return to normal mind sensibility in time so the blow made me lose consciousness.
I woke up on a bed in the medical bay. I was naked under the soft sheet, and I quickly felt the disorientation of weightlessness. I and the sheet were being held against the bed by three straps.
'How do you feel, Lian?' asked a sweet girl voice. Thalia was standing next to the bed and looking at me.
'I don't know. Well not so bad indeed. What happened?'
'You and the captain managed to disconnect the power cables in time and Solar Wind is orbiting around her mother ship. We found you near the manual control panel. You had neither special seat nor hammock to soften the initial acceleration. So we proceed to...' she blushed for one second, 'to a complete exam of your medical status.'
'What about the captain?'
'He has already recovered from the blow. I told me to send you to him as soon as you would wake. I think he is in his room.'
I looked all around me, and eventually asked embarrassed 'Where are my clothes?'
'I go and bring them,' she answered laughing.
The captain was waiting for me. He greeted me as one do with a close friend, and said he was very proud of me. He offered me a closed cup of balawe with a drinking straw, and told me I had almost saved the expedition by detaching the second cable on my own. I said he did the same with the third, but he smiled at me and simply answered 'I'm the captain. Anyway, it was your idea.' Then he took a small chest and gave it to me.
'What is this?'
'Open it, Lian. It's the greatest proof of confidence a captain can give.'
I opened the chest and found a small optical key.
'That's the key of my personal armoured space suit. If anything happens to me, come here and take it.'
Go to 5.
