The boiler room was frantic with activity. Tonia and Olya were fueling the engine, trying to keep the speed up. Zoya darted around, checking gauges. She stumbled as the ship rocked from the violent waves outside.

“Tonia!” she shouted. “How's the water level?” Tonia ran over to a small glass window and peered through it.

“Looking good,” Tonia replied.

A moment later, a loud clap of thunder startled the crew. Olya, who was nearest the boilers, was thrown across the room. She groaned on the floor, her hair standing on end. Sparks crackled on her metal hand, the fingers twitching.

“What the hell was that?” Tonia asked.

“Did lightning just strike the ship?” Zoya asked, baffled. She glanced down at the floor, which was covered in water.

“We're losing water,” she said. Her mind went blank, trying to remember what to do. She backed toward the doorway, digging through her brain, trying to find the answer.

“I got it,” Tonia said, running to the water valve. “Find the hole and plug it up, I'll send more water in.” Zoya hesitated, glancing around the room.

“Wait, Tonia don't!” she shouted. It was too late. As Tonia let cold water rush into the boiler system, it created a huge influx of steam, and the boiler exploded.
