Oh sure like anyone else who was closing in on the big 5-0 he was beginning to reflect that his best years were behind him but as of his last checkup(on his 46th birthday) old doc Baker had gien him a clean bill of health( except for the usual drop 10 pounds speech). In fact what was most on his mind lately was the upcoming retirement of old Neat Pete and his own chances which were good of landing his old Senior VP post which was only one heartbeat away from the big show. Tiring of the same old newshe turned off the picture when the weather forecaster started talking about cold weather in the Rockies and simply stared out the window hoping that by doing so it would help put him to sleep which would ease the passage of the next 11 hours he had left to go until the plane set down in Hikuru. Thats when Steve noticed that the #2 engine didn't look quite right. In fact as he watched more intently he noticed a queer sort of vibration start. Then to his horror he watched as the engine pulled sharply to the right then to the left then to the right again at which point the last bolt holding the incorrectly installed engine mounting broke off sending the tousands of pounds of jet engine smashing into the wing. Even though he knew as a vet of hunderds of overseas flights no design team even one as gifted as the people who designed the 797 were (and who had the latest gizmo's a 2009 technology base could deliver) when a plane looses a wing thats pretty much the end. As the plane cartwheeled down the last thought before he blacked out was to wonder who would get his old job in the corporation. To Be Continued...
