Necessary Preparations

It was a relative success!

Provided you ignore the collapses, sudden overloads, and that one incident where a coolant pipe exploded like a cannon.

And maybe that time when Luca got curious about the gravitational stabilizer.

As someone who grew up on a Planet where space travel wasn't something they could focus on, the little tinkerer couldn't help but want to check out a few things.

So he turned it on.

Oh yes, he did.

And inadvertently reversed the local gravity for a few minutes.

Tools, scrap parts, and even his good brother, Ollie, floated midair like an impromptu zero-gravity training exercise.

And only stopped after Xavier managed to drag the shocked chipmunk's offending hand toward the initially innocent device.

And gravity eventually returned with a thud—but so did everyone else.

But these were all after Luca's first actual part mishap, which almost gutted the poor mechanic.
