=^= Engineering to Chief Engineer Vras, I’m receiving notifications of an unscheduled cadet in the Jefferies Tube between decks seven and eight near your area. Are you seeing anything unusual on your end Sir? =^=
LTJG. Zenzgii, CE (oncoming)

Vras grumbled at the interruption. =^= Well, given that I’m in the Jefferies tubes between Decks Seven and Eight, I think things appear to be very good. Including Cadet Clark who is with me to assist today’s inspection… Actually, perhaps you can come here and take over from me? =^=

-Lt. Keval Vras, CE

=^= Understood, I’ll be there shk’nk aak...... soon =^= It wouldn’t be too long before the soft clicks of claws could be heard tapping on metal from the far end of the Jefferies tube at a cross juncture. From the ceiling a reptilian poked out and blinked two sets of eyelids as it regarded the duo with a perpetual like smile, ” Rather unorthodox way to relieve comk’ank..... cmk’nk’k… command.” He shook his head in disappointment “Translator needs a software update.”

Zenzgii, CE

((OOC: Hi gang! So glad to be here, okay since we’re working on the fly here. Have you had a chace to try snipping a thread yet?))

“As the humans say, ‘rank has its privileges’. Which seems obvious to me, but humans tend to make sayings out of the obvious.” Keval said. “We were just getting started on the scheduled inspection of the structural integrity field generators. Of course, I have three places to be at the same time because Starfleet generally assumes all Chief Engineers have clones, so if you are free now…”

“Lieutenant, Cadet,” Keval said, heading to the entrance.

Zenzgii tilted his head to one side after orientating himself. “You don’t have clones? .. I suppose that’s one perk to Saurians being able to reproduce asexually, we don’t fall under the Darwin Treaty.” Blinking both sets of eyes, he regarded the cadet. “Well? How would you like to start, personally i’m not a fan of being shocked so i’d consider safety tag outs and informing someone of what level of Diagnostic i’m about to perform so they can have a reasonable time frame to expect odd readings on said consoles.” Squinting his eyes the Saurian had a cherub like expression of joy to see minds questioning and burning to find anwsers.

Clark takes a few seconds to process all that has happened in this relatively short period, after a while he looks at Zenzgii with a puzzled expression on his face
“I- ur… Yes, I will call engineering to inform them about to level… level 3 diagnostic? That we will be running” Clark’s voice raises in pitch as he guesses the diagnostic level that is needed. As he turns back toward the Field Projector, he pauses and turns back to his companion
“Sir, this may be a stupid question, but… what are safety tag outs? I don’t remember the term from any manuals or guidebooks.”
