A day in the former operators life - part III
Here the hangars doors open and we enter the big hole, sorry, meant hall…
It looks like an old planes hangar from WW2. Dirty, big and with permanent oily smell. As a matter of fact there are tow hangars here, for the tow terraforming teams, but the other one (the so called "diggers") are just a bunch of useless new operators who couldn't dig a hole in the ground even if it already had it. Our name BTW is the "boreholes"
-here's my Charly!!- Charly is my former. They're mostly named male names, cause they're robust and strong. - did you miss me boy?
All of them have the names painted on both sides and also a number of "targets" painted as the number of mindworms killed, though only fat Bob has targets, all the others (including me and the other team) have never met a worm and so I hope it will stay.
Few steps up the ladder and I'm in my cockpit. Haa, let me sit on my padded sit…yep, it is surly one of the softest thing my ass has ever felt
. I had it spatially made for me in a leather shop. Of course it is illegal get this kind of "unstandard" stuff for indibiduals in the hive, but if you are some one who steps out the city every now and then and you can bring a few goodies from outside (like some pure fresh fungus to distill some clandestine fungus vodka) there's always a way...(BTW I learned it from commissar Chin 
)
I had all in my cockpit made especially for me, either through "friends "(like the leather sit) or by my self. Also with the help of fat Bob (which is like the guru of terraforming in the hive) I enhanced all my machinery, now I have a brutally strong and reinforced terraformer!
(Chin)-all "boreholes", stop getting your selves horney about your dirty formers and begin the checking test, c'mon move!
Some day one of these "dirty formers" will have his ass under its tracks...
-now Charly, lets have a few checks just to see we're in good shape, so….how are we doing?
(Charly)-fine pal- ho, forgot , that's another reasons these things have male names. They have male voices (which freaking smart-guy had this freak idea?), only Bob managed some how to change it, but then again- he is THE GURU.
-how's your engine doing boy?
(Charly)-pretty good. I‘d rather have some more oil down there but I can make it for about a week (if you treat me well).
How can a machine be sarcastic?
-ok spoiled boy, I'll have your belly filled a little more. Any thing else there?
(Charly)-nop, all seems to be working and I have enough fuel.
-what about the forming machinery?
(Charly)-dirty as usual but working.
-well, considering we're going for fungus I think I can take dirty for now. Now how are all "boreholes" doing?
(fat Bob)-reporting ok deputyboy- I hate it when he calls me that
(slim)-slim reporting ok
(fat Jo)-ok here too
- all ok commissar, ready to rumble!
(Chin)-I see you're all happy to be back to work, that's great, we do have a lot of it this time…
And he thinks he's funny...just open the F%&#ing gates already...
Hooo..., I love the moment the gate opens, the double sun light comes in and the beautiful horizon spreads his monumental colors in front of us, this are the moments when you understand how lucky you are to work outside the hole….well this and of course when you come back with fresh fungus to replace for goodies
