- If a cargoid thinks she might need a big box-end wrench to open the cargo bay or disassemble a large piece of equipment that needs to be removed post-haste from the back of a "Herc" (Hercules transport plane, aka LC-130), she leaves it in the cab of the forklift that she races up to the back of the plane with.
