The maintenance men : imagined from Star Wars Episode 5

The sun at the top of sky shines to pure white snow ground. However the atmosphere is cold as the eyebrows of Nick freezes even he is in the hunger of Echo base, it is still good weather in this icy planet. Nick Orville, who is a maintenance man of rebel alliance, sweeps his eyebrow once and then reaches other hands to his tool box. Suddenly someone take his hand and said

“Now it’s better to relieve, Nick”.

Nick just replied

“Oh, Thank You Howard, but I can work more… even temperature is also better than yesterday isn’t it?”

“Yeah, better than blizzard like yesterday. But anyway you better to have a rest now…you worked nearly half a day in today.”

“But-“

“Anyway go now. It will be uncomfortable for us that good maintenance man break down”

Another maintenance man Howard Lake shakes his head and urge to Nick to have a rest. After Nick has gone, he orders to droids that follow him to inspect the X-wing star fighter. It looks Nick done good job, electronics has completely fixed by him. But unfortunately some parts are still not maintained. The surface of two main engines of X-wing is hugely burned and some parts are transformed by the heats. Howard thought it still takes hours to fix it and his eyes start looking for the parts that can be used for this star fighter because unfortunately there are no regular parts for that in this Echo base. It is true that X wing is highly efficient star fighter and outperforms the other starfighter in Galaxy Empire like TIE-Fighter. However the running cost for X Wing is also higher than the others and it means hard to supply the parts regularly. In addition to that, some skills are required to maintain this unruly. As a result, Howard needs to find a substitute of parts of X wing fighters and work harder and harder as Nick. He just walking through with droids and pick up some parts that used for Y fighter which is another types of starfighter in rebel alliance. However Howard just mutters

“It cannot use without processing” and asked for other maintenance men and droids to join to processing the parts. After a while, the parts have processed successfully but Howard noticed there are still some parts needed for fixing. He just breathes and turning to find the parts again but then he stops his foot.

“I think these parts are also capable to use, Howard.”

Nick just shows some parts carried by his droids and smiles to Howard. In contrast of that, Howard just frowns and opens his mouth seconds later.

“I asked you to have a rest, Nick. ”

“I had rest. It is enough for me, for time. “

“But-“

“I know what you want to say,”

Nick just interrupt the Howard and continue talking.

“But anyway this X wing must be in operation, that what I really thought because the number of X wing is directly linked to the total power of rebel alliance. It is quite important time like now…just hiding from Galaxy Empire”.

Howard just hears what Nick firmly said about it. It is true that there are the significant difference of military power between Galaxy Empire and Rebel Force and the efficiency of X wing starfighter to cover that difference. Furthermore, there is the more important point.

“And… I am used to this kind of works. Not only me, everyone in this base but they never give up because…”

“It is for our justice.”

Howard smile wryly to younger maintenance man and pat his shoulder and then pick up the tool on his hands.

“Within 2 to 3 day, a cargo ship came to this base to transport the materials. So the number o X wing fighters are requires to guard that ship.”

“So what we need to do is…”

“To maintain a X wing to work as much as we can”

Then they stop to talking. The hunger became silent without the sounds of tools by maintenance man and droids. The Sun was already fall, a cold long night comes to Echo base. However It is not problem for these two specialists of X wing starfighter. They do their best, they fight in their battle space, in the freezing hanger of base. They finally stop their work after the sun rise again, after one X wing starfighter has completely fixed. 3 days later, some people in Echo base are looking at the sky to just watch the transport ship. Nick and Howard are one of them.

“There are some new regular parts of X wing starfighter,”

Howard gravely muttered but his face looks smiling.

“Yes Howard. It will make our work easier.”

In contrast of that, Nick said with happier tone.

“But however, War is still continueing. That is…”

“Our Work, our fight is not end.”

They are the maintenance men but who really fight with their skills in this war.

They are maintenance men, they are worriers.
