Laurence - The Season of Death

Up here, they call we repair guys a "Scotty."

I have no idea why.

Sometimes, the motors and gyros on a solar array get jammed, and I have to suit up and go out to smack it with a hammer for a while.

We're supposed to use remote-robots to do this, but a good Scotty wants to smack the machinery with his own hand, not through some joystick or virtual glove.

Until the seals break, that is.

From a dry spring day in your suit to colder than the coldest winter in less than a second.

I call it Death.

OMG - I used almost the same last sentence in my vignette!

I have no idea what to think about that.
