"Ugh, you've gotta be kidding me..."
Maura kicked her foot forward and against the slanted underside of the console in front of her, trying to get rid of the flashing orange 'E' light the old-fashioned way. She knew the ship had been fully fueled when she'd left, so why the hell was she getting the low fuel warning? She kicked it again, but the light stayed orange, so she let out an exaggerated mixture of a sigh and a rumble.
She didn't want to go look at the stupid engine, but here she went, getting up from her seat and begrudgingly making her way into the engine room after dropping out of hyperspace. She wasn't sure exactly where she was, but she was somewhere between the Expansion Region and Outer Rim. It wasn't like anyone was going to stumble upon her, stagnant off a hyperlane... right?
While Maura was away from her pilot seat, the radar began beeping quietly as a ship dropped in and began to approach hers. In the meantime, Maura began inspecting the engine and almost immediately noticed the smell of fuel in the air. No wonder the fuel was low. The ship was leaking gas.
"Oh for fu-"
