After all the victims had been safely removed from the truck, Callie drove out to the scene in the Recovery Vehicle. The good news was that being inside the RV meant she could get out of her uncomfortable suit.

Kat scrambled in beside her, holding on to her mechanic's tool box. "Okay, ready to go." Kat said, taking off her helmet. "Phew, it's so hot! It makes doing anything such hard work. We shall have to try and drag the truck away from the other one. But it won't be easy; they are both so unstable."

Callie drove the RV to a point about 100 yards from the two toppled trucks. "The best thing to do is to get the top one off. I've got to aim the magnetic clamps carefully."

She used the crosshairs to find a point that was stable enough to keep the trucks from collapsing on each other. "Ah, there we go. Adjusting by 3.4 degrees right right."

Once the magnetic clamps were attached, Callie carefully reversed the recovery vehicle. The caterpillar tracks gripped surprisingly well in the unstable sand. Slowly, inch by inch, the truck was dragged clear of the upturned truck beneath it. She continued until the truck was well clear. "MGM, get your tools ready," she said. "I'm going to get this truck into the pod where you can fix it."

"F-A-B, Ursa. What about the other truck?"

"Leave it. It's too far damaged to be of any use." After about 30 minutes, the first truck was safely in the pod. "Mission accomplished on my end, MGM. She's all yours."

Kat opened up the hood of the truck and started the repair job. Somehow she managed to locate the fan belt and tightened it up. She checked the carburetor, and tightened some loose screws. "Ursa, can you help me see if this truck will start?"

"Sure thing." Callie stepped into the driver's seat and turned the key in the ignition. "Come on, baby." The engine spluttered and then died. "Come on, come on," she was praying aloud. She tried again but still the engine refused to fire. "MGM, can you double-check everything on the inside?"

"F-A-B." Kat climbed up and looked at everything under the hood again, finding nothing amiss. "I can't find anything wrong," she called to Callie. "Try it once more."

With a sigh, Callie turned the key, hoping the engine would finally start. Surprisingly, the engine spluttered into life. "Whoo! We got it!" she shouted excitedly.

"All right! It worked!"

"It wouldn't have worked without your mechanical skills, MGM."

Kat grinned at her colleague. "This was a real test of my mechanic's skills. I can't wait to see what Einstein has to say when I tell him."

"I think Einstein would be pretty pleased," said Callie with a chuckle. "Frankie from Ursa. MGM got one of the trucks working again."

Elise smiled. "Good work, MGM. I'll contact Doc and give her the good news."
