Two men sat playing cards as the hum of their ship was heard. They both looked up as the light started to flicker.

“Must be that time again,” the one man said, setting his cards down and standing up.

The other grabbed the tip of his hat, “I'll keep the cards warm,” he smiled.

“You best not lay an eye on my cards or I'll send you to the engine room next time, she how you like to be drained,” he walked out of the room and towards the engine room.

He opened the door to the engine room and approached the woman who was the engine. Her arms and legs were locked into long cylinders that held her upright. In her arms were iv’s that kept her alive, but that was it.

“Up and at ‘em, Cyphion,” he said smacking her and almost knocking the medical mask from her face.

“No, please,” she pleaded, her eyes locking with his before his body erupted with a blue energy.

“I like it when you beg Cyphion,” he smiled, before touching her bare chest. His body erupted into a blue flame of energy as she screamed and her body bucked against her restraints. His energy started to fade and in turn her body started to glow the same color. He removed his hand once he no longer glowed blue.

“There you go girl, I hope you enjoy it.”

She screamed in response as her body fed energy into the engine and brought everything back to life.

“See you in a few hours,” he chuckled as he left her glowing with his blue energy and returned to the card game.
