  ***ANAD replicating…can I get a heading to the target?***

  “I’m doing that now,” Winger reported, as he scrambled through the galley and berthing deck and the engineering deck. “Strakes, where’s the leak? Can you localize it?”

  Still back at the command deck, Strakes scanned his instruments. “I’m showing maximum pressure drop at frame ninety-six, starboard side…somewhere between E and F deck.”

  Winger squirmed through the central access tube. He knew E deck was for Engineering, Shops and Utilities. Just aft was F deck, home to Scooter’s hybrid battery and fuel cell power plant.

  “I feel it…there’s a whistle just off to my left—“Winger paused, sniffing, letting his senses guide him. There. A utilities duct penetrating the bulkhead seemed to be the center of the leak. He saw a faint mist in the air swirling around the duct. “I found it….ANAD configure max propulsor. Home on my signal.” He pressed a button on his wristpad.

  Several decks forward, the shimmering fog of the assembler swarm wheeled about and began transiting the access tube.
