The orbital trains were the bridges connecting clan settlements, Food Processing Plants, and industrial facilities. These rail systems might originally have been used within the Star Fortress to transport supplies and deploy personnel, but after the Inhumans moved them to the Moon and established permanent settlements, they took on entirely new purposes. The emergency power supplies intended for use after the Star Fortress came under attack and sustained damage became backup power sources for the rail systems. For a long time, the Attilan Inhumans had been unable to inspect these facilities—one could not expect the Inhumans of today to understand every program and figure compiled in Kree script. Even the Centaur Clan electromechanical specialist Black Bolt had brought along might not have fully understood instructions written in an alien language.
In short, even an electromechanical specialist had to rely on procedures recorded by his ancestors to activate and maintain them, so there was no way it could be quick. Tetanus impatiently nudged the specialist's backside with his head, forcing the latter to cast Black Bolt a watery-eyed look. "I'm sorry, but it should be Tetanus's playtime now." Black Bolt smiled and gestured. "He wants to play with you. If he doesn't burn off some energy, he won't be so well-behaved tonight."
"My suggestion is castration."
As the Centaur electromechanical specialist used administrator privileges to enter the system and check how many backup generator units remained online, he also checked whether their fuel cells could still be used. Since the Star Fortress could not draw power from elsewhere after it was attacked, those backup generator units had all been designed to use nuclear fuel cells. Now, the specialist could only hope the fuel rods had not exceeded their half-lives. After all, the last time the fuel rods had been replaced, his
