Original sci‑fi short story (HFY). A human tech and an alien mechanic race a storm to repair a sabotaged evac shuttle. With no spare coupler, they improvise one from a coffee‑pot coil, retune the drive with harmonic resonance, expose the saboteur—and launch the evac anyway.<br /><br />Characters: Jace (human tech) and Kessa (alien mechanic) in “Bay Three,” fighting policy delays, a failing drive, and the clock. Respectful, PG‑13, cinematic narration with sound design.Chapters (edit times after upload)<br />00:00 Hook — “Relax, I’m a mechanic”<br />00:30 Bay Three and the failed coupler<br />02:10 The coil fix (coffee‑pot spring)<br />03:20 Harmonic resonance tune‑up<br />04:15 Confrontation and launch<br />05:00 Epilogue — the shard and the storm
