Maintenance [Harkness|Marcie]
If there was ever a good moment for Mirelurks to break through the lower decks it would be now. Harkness was pissed off before he had stomped down the steps. The hot water had broke, Boa had decided to bring every bit of dirt from the wastes she could find, the coffee had ran out and his smokes had got wet while fixing the shower. Fan-fucking-tanstic. The Mirelurks would be a distraction, something to vent on, saving the emotional stability of a lot of people on this ship.
For that reason Harkness pulled the knife from his boot instead of going for the gun on his back. He wanted something satisfying, an outlet that shooting from afar couldn't bring. Going down alone also meant that Harkness didn't have to suppress any of his strength. If he felt like punching a hole through one of them he could do as he damn well pleased and that's just what he did.
Returning up to the main deck, twenty minutes later scattered with new scratches and splatters of blood Harkness felt a new amount of peace within him, less angry and slightly proud.
