A Shipbreaker's Tale

Back to Cuttin'

[Belladeal POV]

it's been a couple of days since that night, and I still can't shake that feeling from what Vaan did to me.. The Utter Gall on him, I have a feeling he's just a Pervert in disguise. but yet when I remember his face, there was No Blush, no Embarrassment. and I didn't even feel, something, 'grow' let's just say.. so I also think he was genuinely trying to help me relax, but I guess he never knew how sensitive our Species Ears, (especially at the ends of them) can get.. now I Watch over the Scrapyard, We've been able to set up a Furnace and Decunstructer input, aswell as an Item Barge To Collect loose Things like Lights, Chairs, and even Reactors.. though I doubt he would be able to pull one out without breaking a sweat, almost everybody here as Never Accepted a Single ship that they would have to pull a reactor from.
and as I see him work, I see him So Expertly Cut out Perfect Large Square tiles of Matieral, Isolate the Matieral so no other one is attached to it, and with Blue lines connecting the 3 tiles he Drags them all with him even though he's only really dragging one tile towards him, and after Lining up the Tiles with the Deconstructor, because the material they are is Not Titanium or Iron but It's a combination of Aluminium and Nano-Carbon, it's now been mostly used in most of our Ships so they're Much Stronger but the Metal for making them can be easily shaped and Created so we can Recycle the hull much more better. I then see him pull out that Blue Tool he used on me to Drag me Through space to his HAB That one time... I still get shivers just thinking about how fast I was going. he then Uses some sort of Force on the Tool to Push all the tiles into the Deconstructor, and it's all a Positive Payout, no material lost, and all collected.

After a While He's been Out scoring Every Shipbreaker we had, Normally they would Take Multiple Breaks on just one Ship, but he was Doing it in One go. and On Record time too, 5 Minutes in and he's Already Almost done Getting the Entire Ship Scrapped. then he Gets to some of the Fuel lines, he doesn't ignore them but he does find the Fuel shut off and then Pulls the Fuel Tank after turning the Valve to it. he then Uses his 'Cutter' tool to Make the Individual connector points that don't really matter to us, and then Disintegrate them using a Straight Bean from it instead of it Splitting into 2 Lines, he Completely got the Fuel Line Put into the Furnace for Scrapping, and He didn't Cause not even ONE. to Explode. How Long has he been Doing this For?? I've seen even Pro Shipbreakers Fail at Trying to Break down and Scrap the Fuel lines, So I'm surprised he did it. Everybody in the Watchtower with me Applauds his Swiftness and Knowledge on Ships to know what to do to break them Down. He then Gets to the Reactor, it's a Class II Reactor so there are Coolant lines. which he Successfully Disconnects. and then we don't think he'll even Attempt to get the Reactor out, Then we get a Warning saying that the Reactor is Going Critical. and I Slightly panic as I see him Just LIft a Class II Reactor, then the Radio Operator for the Watch tower Contacts him.

RO: "Hey, Get out of There Now! if that thing Blows up You're Going With it and almost some people Nearby or Inside the Station! The Station and the People inside can be Evac'd But you Cannot!"

he Replies as if not even Carrying a Melting Down Reactor in his Gapple Tool,

Vaan: "Whaddya mean? It's Fiiiinee."

RO: "IT IS NOT FINE, LUANCH THAT REACTOR AND GET CLEAR OF THE BLAST RADIUS."

Vaan: "And Waste Matieral? yeah no thank you."

I then Chime in Now Worried about him Dying, even though I slightly hate him, I Still have a soft spot for him. and I would most certainly get Demoted or Fired from my position if I just let someone die.

Me: "Vaan, Get That Reactor into Space Away from the Station and Get Clear of the Blast Zone, Unless you want to Die in a Fireball of High-Condensed Radition, Along with the Potential of Killing Innocent People aboard this Station!"
