Here we have Akira Shepard on duty, working on repairs for a fellow ship in the fleet. While it’s slower than having it repaired in a dry dock at a starbase, repairs on the front lines become more of a important task as more ships get damaged or destroyed. Sometimes, other ships have to send their engineers to assist their own when they have both time and distance from the enemy. Even then, it’s a commodity that can’t be wasted. Hostile fleets could appear on sensors at any time and it could cost a ship or two if it does happen.

But still, the peace and quiet of outer space thankfully negates some concern to a few crew mates. Despite the wrecks of former ships drifting by alongside melted hull plating and pieces of interceptors, the system’s crimson sun shone a beautiful sanguine as the welding torch connected two broken circuits together. With another quick zap, the torch fused two more circuits to the power grid. “How’s the power situation for the lower decks T.O.?” Akira asked, her comms connecting to the Valiant Savior’s tactical officer.

“We’re reporting power has been restored to non-essential systems below deck. Thanks for the assistance. Other repair teams are working on some pretty bad hits in the aft section. Be sure to use a lot of ‘Hull Glue’ to seal the breaches before putting the replacement hull on.” The T.O. said, sounding neutral and calm.

“Understood, gonna head over no-“ An red exclamation point appeared on her visor. [Alert: Emergency Transmission to all personnel!] “To all crew teams on the field, we have enemy ships appearing on sensors! Head back to your assigned ship and prepare for combat!” Kalea announced over comms as two repair teams began to make their way back to their shuttles. “Here we go…” Akira said, grabbing her tools and placing them on her tool belt. As she did so, her tether went taunt and began to reel her back to the shuttle. By the time she was back onboard, the automated pilot had started the trip back to the Heart of Sigma. Back to the chaos of the galaxy.

—————-Notes——————

Hey everybody! I know it’s been a while but I’ve been dealing with some stuff lately. And by stuff, I was dragged into some drama at the beginning of August and it had an effect on my mental health. After putting distance between me and it, I finally managed to do some art. This not being one of them. I was hoping to post it at the start of August but that’s when I had my near breakdown. I’m fine now but I was worst off a month ago. By now, I’ve begun my long way of drawing new stuff to post. I’ve got something’s but I still need to finish them.

In the meantime, I wanted to draw some SFW Akira Shepard stuff to bring balance to my SFW and NSFW art. Since she’s an ship engineer, I wanted to draw her working on repairing a ship. It’s not the best I’ll admit, (Especially with the ship design in the background.) but it’s not the worst either. I hope somebody likes it at least. Don’t hesitate to give feedback, positive or negative.
