<h1> Open Up! </h1>

This is probably a working title until I come up with something better.
|
|
Just thought it was funny. Too similar to "Wake up!" tho.

Jack puts the soldering iron back into its holder and admires his
|
|
creation. This hack job of bodge wires and not quite right replacement
|
|
components, held together by what remains of the corroded motor driver
|
|
board is truly beautiful in the ugliest way possible – in his eyes
|
|
at least. He picks it up and ispects the other side.<br />
|
|
<span class="quote non-speech">Probably good enough.</span><br />

|
<span class="comment">A note on the spelling of "bodge":
|
|
You may or may not have noticed that I tend to stick to American English.
|
|
This is a notable exception. There is no mistake here. The word
|
|
"bodge" looks way more elegant spelled this way. I'm the
|
|
BodgeMaster – BotchMaster would look weird, wouldn't it?
|
|
If you think I'm wrong, then you're wrong. :)</span>

Jack gets up and walks over to the bunker door. He mounts the board to
|
|
the motor – using only two of the screws – and begins
|
|
connecting the wires. The moment the power cable comes into contact with
|
|
the board, the motor starts making a harsh buzzing sound. He drops the
|
|
cable and it stops.<br />
|
|
<span class="quote speech">So that's why this was burnt out.</span>
|
|
<br />
|
|
He fetches a multimeter and pokes around the board and the mess of wires.
|
|
One of the control wires is stuck on.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
After a bit of fiddling with the electronics under the door controls,
|
|
he gives up and removes all the control wires. Then, he bolts the cables
|
|
for power and ground to their lugs and connects another wire to the power
|
|
cable. He touches it to one of the contacts. There's that buzzing
|
|
again. He touches it to the next one, The motor starts spinning and the
|
|
bunker door begins to move. It squeaks and scratches as it slowly
|
|
retracts into the ceiling.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Jack takes the wire off the contact and leaves it dangling. He steps
|
|
forward and looks around.
