More Room, Tugboat

magical_misfits

Ironkeels, it seems if you leave them alone you do so at your own risk. Of course not all Ironkeels. Just the engineering Ironkeels. They got carried away. Wheels, Bollard, Hawser, Mizzen, Sky Sail and Gallant have inherited the gene. Now before I get blasted about Mizzen, yes Mizzen was an Engineer that happens to be a time traveler. Someday I will tell you how that happened. Oh yeah Compass Rose was an engineer too. Just in case you thought Sky Sail was the only female.
Mister, More Room’s ship mind is mortified by it’s reconfiguration. I explained it to Riley like this. More Room was designed and built by Ironkeel Marine to be a gas courier scout. Zooming through the stars keeping pace with fighters and everything else.
Then suddenly it's a tugboat. In Mister’s mind that means slow.
Like a race horse pulling a cart. I think the new role will grow on the starship. But for now it's not really thrilled.
