Then Randy interfered, "Crazy, but Frank says he's good."

Frank stewed silently.

Scooter, in another complicated single move, swung the supply capsule around to meet the Metafire Two capsule head to head. Now there were multiple latching sounds and a small green LED about the latch indicated a positive closure. Frank then heard Scooter, "Did that work?"

"Yes. One more thing, right?"

"Right." Scooter pulled out the gripper and moved to the rear pod on the supply capsule. He hit this pod hard and caused the whole assembly to rattle.

"You want to slow down. We have lots of time here." Frank was getting upset.

"Time's money, you know." Scooter was having a great time. He detached the pod, moved it to its side station, and signalled Frank. "Frank, you should show a positive check out on your top attached capsule's pod."

"Running. Got it. Seems OK. Go ahead."
