Spare Parts? Let me explain...
"ok, i'll put them back!" he said, running off quickly into the back of the ship."right. hopefully he won't take very long." hoped Jay, letting the gears keep the ship at a low speed... not that this sort of thing works in space... the lack of friction and all.<END SNIP>
Dean slinked back in to the cockpit.
"Jay," said Jack. "We have an intruder in the cockpit."
"What?" asked Jay, turning quizzically round to face Jack, and then catching Dean in his peripherial vision. "GET OUT AND PUT BRAKES IN!" he suddenly yelled throwing a clipboard at Dean and it smacked im right in the forehead. Jack joined in and Dean retreated under a deluge of stationary.
2 minutes later the door opened again and Dean stood there. This time Jack, unthinkingly, slung his quicky flask at Dean. It missed, hitting the closing cockpit door.
"He'll be back." said Jay.
"I give him 2 minutes." said Jack
"2 minutes? I'd say 30 seconds."

"Are you planning on getting pissed?" asked Jay.
"Yup."
"Not in this cockpit. Get out and find Dean, and make sure he's putting those parts back in."
"Aye, aye sir." said Jack, wearily getting up to join the party in the back of the craft.
"Honestly." said Jay, as the door swooshed shut again, "it's like piccadilly circOH WHAT THE SMEGGING HELL NOW!?"
"Well, Jay..." said Dean, "I can't put the parts back."
"Why not?"
"Well, they're still in here. You chased me out before I could pick them up."
Jay bashed his head off the steering column.
Dean "It's not that..." Thomas
