A clean and somewhat refreshed Ensign Waryn arrived at 17 Forward.

Over the last few moments, he had started to wonder if this was some hazing incident and that he’d arrive only to find no other Engineers were there. With the way my day has been going, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Luckily, as he walked through the door, he saw Ensign Boras sitting at a large table with a few other Engineers. The table could easily fit over a dozen people and seemed to be the center of the room, with a half dozen smaller tables filling the space out.

17 Forward itself didn’t seem too crowded, but he got the impression that business was starting to pick up. Alpha shift did just turn over, afterall. Izak walked over to say hello. “Good to see you Boras! I’m going to get a drink from the replicator, and I’ll be right over.”

OOC: I had a moment, so I figured I’d start a new thread. I tried to leave it open so the Chief could set the scene. I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a raucous event or more like the “mandatory fun” of a work function.

OOC: you beat me to it

O’Nell was there telling the new engineers how when he first came onto the ship, he asked to use warp cores from the shuttles and made a bridge device just to get the Archangel moving through warp.

Then O’Nell picked up a glass and said

“Welcome to the new engineers to our team I will like say that, even though you’re new, you have already taken your first steps into the world of possibilities and as we working together as a team, we will be able to boldly go where no one has gone before. And we will seek out those new worlds and civilizations.

to the new members”

He raised the glass

Izak came back with a Bajoran Ale and had time for a little bit of small talk as he got to know his new crewmates.

He then listened and laughed at LT O’Nell’s tales with the other Ensigns. Linking together the warp cores of shuttles was a rather ingenious solution to their problem. ENS Waryn couldn’t help but wonder what sorts of solutions he’d come up with, now that he was on a Heavy Explorer that would, hopefully soon, push the boundaries of known space.

He raised his glass at the Chief Engineer’s toast and took another drink. Izak still felt like the Freaking New Guy, but he also felt like he was starting to find his place. It made him curious how LT O’Nell settled in on his first ship.

“Sir, so was Ark Angel your first ship? Did you come here as an Ensign and make it all the way to Chief Engineer?”
